It’s so well presented however as an English Catholic I’ve got to say by 20:19 we really needed to hear something about the Hyberno-Scottish Mission. It’s a backhanded gift to the Anglicans not to view Aidan, Fursey and the other Irish and Scottish missionary bishops as crucial apostles in the English Catholic tradition too - ok their Easter dating and liturgy was insular and some did try and resist the Roman traditions - however if we don’t count the Celtic tradition as by and large authentically Catholic and respectful of Roman primacy we leave the Anglicans with the argument that they have a separate source for their church structures apart from Rome. Also the fault isn’t Bede’s - you mentioned Chad who was part of the Celtic tradition presumably because Bede does. Bede definitely under-appreciates the Celtic influence - he was in the firmly Roman tradition so no surprise. However he also definitely mentions the Hyberno Scottish mission and its hero’s frequently and acknowledges their importance. He almost tries to downplay the Insular monastic and liturgy background of the saintly Celts and adopts a very different tone when talking about the ones who were troubled by the Easter change. That implies a deep respect for their work and authenticity even if he really hated their Easter custom
Such a great video.
This guy is good he had me in stitches

Oooh a new show 😮😲. I recommended your Bible series to everyone.
I find Bede's Ecclesiastical History Of The English People more exciting than the Anglo Saxon Chronicles.
