@@matthewashman1406 I think what he is highlighting is that Protestantism rejected the authority of the Church and the Magisterium, and Protestantism's rejection of papal/Church authority lead to rejection of God's authority by the Enlightenment thinkers.
@@matthewashman1406 actually, most of the Enlightenment era writers were influenced by Islamic culture and philosophy, which is Gnosticism and paganism. Deep study of Islam leads you to Luciferian roots, Hermes Trismegistus, and Al Jinn (genies). The Muslims ruled Spain for centuries, parts of Italy, Greece, and the East. Most of what atheists believe come right out of Islam. Islam has no supportable history. Their traditional narrative is in direct conflict with the written history and archeology of every other kingdom and empir from the beginning, and right through to today.

Descartes wasn't born in Sweden, he died there. A minor incorrection, though. And Darwin may have borrowed ideas from contemporary scientist Alfred Russell Wallace. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Awesome content! Thank you for putting up this channel. It answers a very real need for truth & intelligent discourse in this age. I will share it with my family.
I believe it was Carl Jung who said he never had a patient who was a Catholic that consistently went to confession. If you go to habitual confession you’ll be fine. That’s all you need unless you have some serious mental disability.
Love your channel. Its a blessing. Its especially great for when your career doesn’t call for deep theological knowledge and you can pop it on and learn while you work lol.
I've got to wonder a little about the depth of the research here when not one minute into the video ( 0:55 ) we are told that, "Rene Descarte was born in Sweden..." No, Descartes died in Sweden. He was born in France, and the French aren't giving him up.
How the Jews in ancient Israel fell into idolatry and becoming conquered by other powers over and over again is its own topic. But history does repeat itself. Christianity is the Jewish religion under the new covenant where Jew and gentile become one and the same - equal brothers. Likewise, the history of Christian civilization has been a constant battle of falling into error, heresy, and worldliness and then turning back to Christ. There are some people out there who wish to play the blame game, but it is unwise to do so. Were the Babylonians responsible for the Jewish exile? On the one hand, yes. But it was only permitted because they had abandoned God. Likewise, Catholics should not be blaming anyone but bad Catholics for our own losing of power and influence. Instead, we should put on ashes, do penance, and love God and neighbour. God will take care of the rest as He always does. Trying to put the blame on others is simply a way of avoiding turning to God in our own lives.
You're looking in the wrong place. Secularism is a memetic contagion, Jews were among it's first victims and so, having ceased to be Jewish and become secularist, have spread the contagion, but they aren't the scource of the problem and those who have remained immune are just as much enemies of secularism as Catholics. They should all accept Jesus as the messiah, but the humans ruling the world today are Atheists, not Jewish. Whether it's pagans, apostate "Christians" or Atheists, the real problem remains, sin, and it's author, for we know the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. 1 John 5:19 Do not be deceived into thinking in racial terms, that is Satanic thinking, treating people as material objects.
Catholicism leads to dissent which is dismissed as heresy, when Paul stole Christianity from James, then Peter dominated Paul, carrying Roman preeminence.
When i was young ,i thought christianity was abt death of god on the cross as i was a hindu and for me our ram and krishna were incarnations of the supreme being. When my mom said jesus is also a god and she said he died on cross. I said oh god died mommy ? My mom just answered that but she didnt know i took it as god literally died forever. I connected something with buddism and said even buddha said we can be above gods by taking care of suffering etc and somehow i got struck between buddha and christ since then. I have seen over the course of my life both of them and their personalities helped me to deal with many situations kind like jesus was left hand and buddha was right hand. There is perverse core of christainity i think ,that like buddhism it is also an atheistic religion which doesnt care about if god exists but rather but asking u to do treat ur neighbour as thyself literally even if there is no god up there like the buddha said. Thats why i think europe is secular and east asia is also secular in the sense of godless feeling but yet ordered and more stable than other countries. There is godless tone in christainity i believe which reflected itself in the modern times like how buddhists ideas of karma etc also have gotten forgitten but the ethics have not been forgotten
My opinion is the establishments which tout Christianity or Buddhism, or the Upanishads, or the Vedas, or the Gita, have their own very selfish desires to keep a handle on the masses with all the guilt and fear religious indoctrination may trigger if applied upon a religious adherent.

We are already fallen. In whatever technology or form of thought and expression will find a multitude of ways to express this, especially anything new.
The move away from official state churches and toward private churches with freedom to practice was a positive for Christianity. The gospel voice has been recovered and the message gone worldwide. Social conformity under law is no substitute for faith, hope, and love.
In terms of understanding phylogenetic trees, yes, but not in terms of understanding actual biological systems, especially in practical medicine, which is the main practical output of the discipline.
Hi@@stephanottawa7890 I haven't looked into Hegel but upon reading some Fichte it appears Fichte is a "Character" to super express Kant while being a personification of what we could call Plato's nous or god of super intelligence/knowledge. Similarly Flavius Josephus shows many characteristics of being a literary device of the Flavians ... (The same literary device is typologically re-used in "Apostle Paul") The main thing I know of all this History is that it isn't history and many of these Philosophical Characters are not really the philosophers projected through the writings and History. Have a lovely day and if you know who Hegel is, thing then I would love to know a little of your thought and why. thx sincerely d
@@davidfenton3910 Thanks, David, for your detailed response. I should say that at the beginning I was questioning the slip of the author as he had referred to Georg Hegel as George Hlegel. As to Georg Hegel, I really do not know much about him apart for the facts that he was German, Protestant and a philosopher. I should learn more. At one time I could read philosophy in German, but even then I found it hard to understand. I am more of a romanticist than a rationalist. Somethings I believe we will never completely understand. That is why I found the German philosophy of that period so difficult in that I could not comprehend their certainty that they were go to find everything out or already had by a systematic and rational approach. It also bothered me that many had rejected anything that smacked of faith and the medieval period. We just did not get along.
Hi@@stephanottawa7890 Philosophy and it's writings communicate on a number of levels. Whoever wrote Spinoza's Tractatus were writing to what they called the philosophical reader not for the general public. Just as there are 3 basic levels of comprehension of bible texts/stories the same goes for Historical and Philosophical 'Stories'. I consider the world to be run by what Plato termed "Philosopher Kings" and that only they really understand what it is to be a philosophical reader. Though once I came to know planning in Plato was used to write Josephus and the Bible well I realised my knowledge of the Ideas in the Bible and Christian history are expressions of the planning in Plato. (As Homer was held up as the example and base for constructing rhetoric and myth as a template well an understanding of the bible and christian history of western society is like a huge template of what some of Plato in action looks like. The ancient decision to make a society where the bulk of the citizens are not very aware or cognitively able is the fundamental problem of the Present Age. Thanks for the reply Cheers d

An interesting video. However, I can't help but feel a lot of remarks (about Marx and his family, about evolution causing eugenism, about John Money, etc...) feel like guilt by association or ad hominems, the same way an atheist might say "religion caused the Crusades" or "Saint XYZ wasn't all that virtuous" as if it disproved the value of Catholicism. It's a pity, really, it makes the content feel biased and vindicative, instead of focusing on explaining why these ideas were able to spread the way they did in such a short timeframe, in the context of what should have been a entirely Christian West. (If anything I can't help but feel a main cause of this was Church's over-involvement in the late "feudal" system as a means to enrich many high ranking prelates, allowing the "enlightened" thinkers to weaponise economically-motivated revolutions, against the Church seen as complicit with the nobility - esp. the French and Russian revolutions, which themselves inspired later similar movements and associated advocacy for the masses with anti-religious sentiment.)
Ale w czym jest problem bo nie rozumiem (???) ktoś jest w Kościele a ktoś nie jest? Jaki jest stan zagrożenia i dla kogo?

Jumping the gun a bit, but absent from your analysis is any mention that Europe had undergone hundreds of years of religious war, during which many thousands of ‘good Christians”, Protestant and Catholic, killed each other with total conviction that they were right in doing so. Secularism as a political goal was and still is understood by those with any notion of history to be a way of taking religion out of the political realm, so as to lessen the chances that this will repeat itself in our time. It is a fact that absolutely every Judeo Christian household can post the 10 Commandments in their own front yard (and inside, on their refrigerator or microwave). And maybe they should! And maybe, if one is so motivated, one should undertake the financial sacrifice of sending one’s children to the parochial school of their persuasion. My parents did. Secularism is not atheism, but the sober recognition that humans will kill each other over religion, Catholics vs. Protestants, Muslims vs. Christians, Hindus vs. Muslims. Democracy is our attempt to create a system of governance wherein folks with utterly incommensurable values can coexist without killing each other. It’s a system wherein nobody is completely happy, but everyone can at least live in relative peace. All other systems have proven themselves to be hateful and oppressive.
Humans are tribalistic, and they will kill each other over other convictions and beliefs. Liberal vs. conservative, fascist vs. communist, sports team vs. sports team, nationalism. Also, most of the motivations for the 'religious wars' were political and secular. Land, wealth, power. Religion did play a part but it was not always the root cause of these wars. Most wars throughout history are caused by factors other than faith, although they have happened. And the state can have religious toleration/freedom, while favoring a state religion like Catholicism. Something to consider, God Bless!
@@Myriil00Yes, and of course Godless monarchs go to war with each other to gain more power and wealth. They have always lied to their nation, claiming that this war is a good, holy, and religious war. Warmongers always lie to the people and religion is the lie they use. Greed, not religion, is the cause of 99% of all wars. Religion is a social good, it gives God the attention and respect that God deserves and it tries to dimish the violent greed that affects all people.
Descartes died in Sweden because Queen Christina invited him there to tutor her. He was born in France, and later lived in Holland, but died in Sweden where he was at the invitation of the queen. How the author of this article became confused about his birthplace and place of death, I can’t say.😮
@@martaacosta4415 Yes, I would think that Descartes considered himself French because he was born and lived for the majority of his life in France. He might have died in Sweden, but even in Sweden I suspect that he lived as a Frenchman abroad. He would have spoken French at the Swedish court. I do not know if he learned any Swedish or considered it at all necessary. I would love to know.
You argue beauty and emotion are in conflict. That the one exists at the expense of the other. This is false. It’s also not that beauty isn’t appreciated anymore - there just isn’t a pressing need for it today. For most of human history, (human made) beauty was a rarity. There was an intense need for it. Medieval peasants were astonished by relatively simple art by today’s standards, not knowing when they would again encounter such a “masterpiece.” In our current age, beauty is everywhere. It’s part of our visual fabric - even if you don’t realise it. Also, anyone can instantly experience whatever they find most beautiful on their phone. On the other hand, in a similar yet different situation to the medieval peasant, today we are (still) devoid of emotional understanding in our everyday lives. Art that resonates on that level therefore, and understandably, leads to amazement. Is beauty fully understood? Definitely not, but our understanding is overdeveloped compared to other fields, including emotion. Contrastingly, the need for emotional understanding is acute, mostly due to millennia of neglect caused by the belief that religion alone can regulate mental and emotional health. Our society is also more complex and emotional needs as well. I believe that there will be very little progress in the understanding of beauty while man hasn’t raised all other fields to the same level.
Beauty is objective, but emotion is subjective, so you are comparing apples to oranges, aka, making a category error. Because of concupiscience, which is the fallen nature of mankind, emotion is in conflict with everything until it comes under the control of the mind informed and led by Grace. To say that emotion is in conflict with beauty is not a contradiction, and it is not unique, since emotion is in conflict with everything. This is not to say that emotion is inherently contradictory to objective things; that is a temporary state of the current fallen condition of mankind on Earth. Only in Heaven will emotion conform to objective reality, and then what you have said will be correct.
Secularism is not synonymous with atheism, because it just literally means being independent of religion. However, a secular person can still be a "theist". That's it. 😎
I like that, I do not have a religion but i do not deny the existence of a higher being since i can see and feel it all around us, especially in nature. Maybe my religion is Natural Law... but as i'm still learning i feel its too soon to declare that my religion.
That's a complete misunderstanding of science, geology, etc etc. The Enlightenment Gnostic operatives of Sufi Muslims had no idea that cells were complex, containing more than a mega-city's worth of production, distribution, waste disposal, and energy collection, transport, and consumption. The ancient Greek philosophers who posited indivisible atoms weren't using any math. Mathematicians of today understand that mathematics and the laws of logic are not dependent on human existence. There is no answer in science for the origin of life, and no answer in genetics for how the Islamic idea of evolution could have occurred, since all observed mutations represent a loss of information. No increase in genetic information has ever been observed. The information itself, in RNA and DNA, represent a linguistic code. No code arises without a mind. You're way behind in the science. A little popular pseudoscience will make you an atheist. A lot of hard core, graduate level science will make you a believer in God. Investigation of the world's religions will bring you to Jesus Christ. Ignorance is hazardous to your eternal life.
I think that very much depends on what one believes Christianity to be. The 'middle age' version of the church certainly aint it. Both early Christianity (before Rome made it their bitch) as well as early islam were very open to new knowledge and learning. As soon as they became political tools to subjugate the people they lost that interest and became extremely dogmatic. Its very funny to see how nowadays science, psychology, scholarship, geology etc are now the ones trying to subjugate people into believing their dogma's, basically becoming the church of atheism and being very closed off to any new thinking, knowledge and learning.
Really? St Nicholas' bones still have oil leaking out of them to this day. Every century, including this one, have multitudes of miracles associated with his icons. And because he is a saint, his miracles have a specified purpose, to point us towards God. I could understand if you said you said that you stopped believing in faeries. But the saints give us every reason to believe in them - whether newly canonized ones with miracles like Blessed Carlo Accutis (to be next year), or St Nicholas and the apostles of the new testament. Sorry, but your antitheist jab needs more work. Maybe you should study the Catholicism. You might be surprised to find that it takes less faith to believe in God than to reject Him.

@@Myriil00Yes, and of course Godless monarchs go to war with each other to gain more power and wealth. They have always lied to their nation, claiming that this war is a good, holy, and religious war. Warmongers always lie to the people and religion is the lie they use.
Greed, not religion, is the cause of 99% of all wars. Religion is a social good, it gives God the attention and respect that God deserves and it tries to dimish the violent greed that affects all people.
Very true.
Sweden? 😂 France
Descartes died in Sweden because Queen Christina invited him there to tutor her. He was born in France, and later lived in Holland, but died in Sweden where he was at the invitation of the queen. How the author of this article became confused about his birthplace and place of death, I can’t say.😮
@@martaacosta4415 Yes, I would think that Descartes considered himself French because he was born and lived for the majority of his life in France. He might have died in Sweden, but even in Sweden I suspect that he lived as a Frenchman abroad. He would have spoken French at the Swedish court. I do not know if he learned any Swedish or considered it at all necessary. I would love to know.
Sloppy written slides, many mistakes.
I do not comment on the pronounciation of German names. Hopeless case.
You argue beauty and emotion are in conflict. That the one exists at the expense of the other. This is false.
It’s also not that beauty isn’t appreciated anymore - there just isn’t a pressing need for it today.
For most of human history, (human made) beauty was a rarity. There was an intense need for it. Medieval peasants were astonished by relatively simple art by today’s standards, not knowing when they would again encounter such a “masterpiece.” In our current age, beauty is everywhere. It’s part of our visual fabric - even if you don’t realise it. Also, anyone can instantly experience whatever they find most beautiful on their phone.
On the other hand, in a similar yet different situation to the medieval peasant, today we are (still) devoid of emotional understanding in our everyday lives. Art that resonates on that level therefore, and understandably, leads to amazement.
Is beauty fully understood? Definitely not, but our understanding is overdeveloped compared to other fields, including emotion. Contrastingly, the need for emotional understanding is acute, mostly due to millennia of neglect caused by the belief that religion alone can regulate mental and emotional health. Our society is also more complex and emotional needs as well.
I believe that there will be very little progress in the understanding of beauty while man hasn’t raised all other fields to the same level.
Beauty is objective, but emotion is subjective, so you are comparing apples to oranges, aka, making a category error.
Because of concupiscience, which is the fallen nature of mankind, emotion is in conflict with everything until it comes under the control of the mind informed and led by Grace.
To say that emotion is in conflict with beauty is not a contradiction, and it is not unique, since emotion is in conflict with everything. This is not to say that emotion is inherently contradictory to objective things; that is a temporary state of the current fallen condition of mankind on Earth. Only in Heaven will emotion conform to objective reality, and then what you have said will be correct.

Secularism is not synonymous with atheism, because it just literally means being independent of religion. However, a secular person can still be a "theist". That's it. 😎
I like that, I do not have a religion but i do not deny the existence of a higher being since i can see and feel it all around us, especially in nature. Maybe my religion is Natural Law... but as i'm still learning i feel its too soon to declare that my religion.
basically, christianity got debunked by science, psychology, scholarship, geology etc etc. Lol.
That's a complete misunderstanding of science, geology, etc etc. The Enlightenment Gnostic operatives of Sufi Muslims had no idea that cells were complex, containing more than a mega-city's worth of production, distribution, waste disposal, and energy collection, transport, and consumption. The ancient Greek philosophers who posited indivisible atoms weren't using any math. Mathematicians of today understand that mathematics and the laws of logic are not dependent on human existence. There is no answer in science for the origin of life, and no answer in genetics for how the Islamic idea of evolution could have occurred, since all observed mutations represent a loss of information. No increase in genetic information has ever been observed. The information itself, in RNA and DNA, represent a linguistic code. No code arises without a mind. You're way behind in the science. A little popular pseudoscience will make you an atheist. A lot of hard core, graduate level science will make you a believer in God. Investigation of the world's religions will bring you to Jesus Christ. Ignorance is hazardous to your eternal life.
I think that very much depends on what one believes Christianity to be. The 'middle age' version of the church certainly aint it. Both early Christianity (before Rome made it their bitch) as well as early islam were very open to new knowledge and learning. As soon as they became political tools to subjugate the people they lost that interest and became extremely dogmatic. Its very funny to see how nowadays science, psychology, scholarship, geology etc are now the ones trying to subjugate people into believing their dogma's, basically becoming the church of atheism and being very closed off to any new thinking, knowledge and learning.
Not godless, muslim.
Became? No, you people were always rebels.
Russians orthodox have a icon of Karl Marx .
Yes, that is true I’ve seen it.
No
Short answer: you stop believing in Santa Claus at some point. Or perhaps it's just me.
I don't believe in abridged versions of lectures given by those who didn't watch the lecture.
2014 Atheism has entered the server.
Really? St Nicholas' bones still have oil leaking out of them to this day. Every century, including this one, have multitudes of miracles associated with his icons. And because he is a saint, his miracles have a specified purpose, to point us towards God. I could understand if you said you said that you stopped believing in faeries. But the saints give us every reason to believe in them - whether newly canonized ones with miracles like Blessed Carlo Accutis (to be next year), or St Nicholas and the apostles of the new testament.
Sorry, but your antitheist jab needs more work. Maybe you should study the Catholicism. You might be surprised to find that it takes less faith to believe in God than to reject Him.
