Joy and zeal and love for Christ. Sam, that’s it! As traditional minded Catholics we must share the beautiful faith we have been given by being loving, welcoming, non-judgmental and recognize most of us came to Catholic Tradition via the Novus Ordo. Let us be bridges for others on the same faith journey. PAX
26:00 is an interesting point because I approach things with a tragic vision. The reality I found is much better than what the church is portrayed to be.
How things have been explained about changes to The Church has been capital T (Tradition) and lower case t (tradition) Tradition: the sacraments, trinity, The Eucharist etc. is never changed but tradition: translation of mass dialogue, can be changed
Im interested in learning about Catholicism from an accurate source, preferably in this format as i have disabilities. My husband left the church and all faith after bad experience in Catholic classes and i was baptised and confirmed Lutheran. My grandma was Roman Catholic. I feel drawn the more i learn but need accuracy. Thanks for any recommendations.
Great. Thanks for the question. There are some good groups that go through specific teachings of the Church here on RUclips. Here are a few that could be worth your time depending on your style and preference. ruclips.net/user/TheCounselofTrent ruclips.net/user/KeithNester ruclips.net/user/BrianHoldsworth ruclips.net/user/JimmyAkin ruclips.net/user/TheCatholicTalkShow ruclips.net/user/SensusFidelium God bless you as you work to grow in your faith!
#Jenergy another good source is st. Paul center with Scott Hahn. Home sweet Rome is an amazing book. Steve Ray is also very good his book crossing the Tigris I believe is an excellent book. Goodbless you and your family. My wife just came into the church from methodist. She fell in love with church history and hearing the holy spirit telling her to come into church, after fighting it for so long....
The difference between the Catholic Church and all other churches is the difference between an aircraft carrier and any other ship. The captain and crews of small ships are confident that they see and understand everything about the church (their ship). The shock awakening comes when they suffer shipwreck and are saved by a passing aircraft carrier - being taken in through a small door on the side. Once inside, they realise that they do not even comprehend where they are. That usually cuts them down to size, exposes their ignorance and silences them. That was my experience.
The problem with abandoning yourself to an "infallible magisterium" is the modern problem that this said magisterium changes and indeed is subject to the whims of the age just like everything else. It was an elephant in the room ever since Vatican II, but now moreso today with European branches of the church setting up their own "magisteriums" under the guise of a "synod". Yes it is freeing to abandon your divine opinions to that of the collective mind of a physical organization, but I do not believe there are true Catholics that actually do so in the fullest sense. Every Catholic hits a point where they deviate from the Church quietly. I speak as a former devout Catholic Catechist.
One reason: Because it is True! As shown by St Thomas Aquinas, only the Catholic faith can start with reason as a foundational principle for its faith. All other faiths must, at some point, abandon logic.
Besides it being true and the church that Jesus created and it's incredible history, majestic architecture, creating the university system, saints lore, etc. I'm Catholic because i recognize the need for a hierarchical institution to unite and order a community of people. We need qualified and knowledgeable high IQ people to guide us to the right path, to teach us about morality and order. To set standards for people, to interpret texts and situations that the average man just isn't able to comprehend to it's fullest by himself either bc it's very complicated to do it alone or he doesn't have enough time to put into it. I love our Church's hierarchy and i voluntarily submit to it because i acknowledge it's authority and i whole heartedly believe it's for the best for all of us. I think this is the biggest problem with protestants and people in general that have an issue with the church. They would much rather be themselves who get to interpret texts and what does X mean and what doesn't, what is really a sin or detrimental to them and their loved ones and what isn't. They don't really want to submit to anyone so obviously they're allergic to the Church and it's teachings.
John Chapter 6 verses 55-66 I am a cradle Catholic, but I stay Catholic because I refuse to walk away from The Eucharist and the sacrament of Reconciliation To quote Peter “to whom shall we go, Lord?”
The Catholic Church teachings Are not subjective.. there is ultimate truth .. because if there wasn’t ultimate truth then that would become a ultimate truth ....
There are nearly a quarter million parishes in the world. The scandals over the last 10 years affected less than ½% of them. (Roughly estimates.) The scandals are therefore certainly mot grounds for leaving the Church.
Seen it a couple of times. Great movie. *Keyword you might of failed to realize in the text on screen was "accusations". A many were not true. And the ones that were, were horrific. God have mercy on us all, always!
Catholicism is the best of Judaism, Hellenistic philosophy, and European Paganism. Catholicism created Europe. That's why I'm Catholic. The problem is the US is a religious marketplace.
@@Austria88586 read the book “the darkening age” by Nixey. Christianity unfortunately ruined the humanistic and philosophic zenith humanity had reached in pagan Europe.

I'm Catholic for many reasons. The most important reason to keep the faith is because of the Eucharist.
Eucharist
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucharist
I’m a wife and mother and I recently discovered your show. This was truly great. I’m passing this on to my young adult sons. Thank you!
Thanks for joining us and passing it along. Blessing to you and your family this Easter Season!
Every saint has a past ...
Every sinner has a future...
If you don’t think other denominations dont have a “pope” try to get up and preach there next sunday .. you’ll find out whos in charge very quickly
Part of me would love to see this.
I'm Catholic because it's true, good and beautiful

Who else wants to hear more about Sam’s convert story?!
This is the reason I am a Catholic! Jesus was the leader of the Catholic Church!

Are you now an atheist?
Let us know why you are Catholic?

Dont join it you will ruin it !

This is the best church. If it happened that the heretic sects were better Christians I might have done that instead.
Catholicism is the best of Judaism, Hellenistic philosophy, and European Paganism. Catholicism created Europe. That's why I'm Catholic. The problem is the US is a religious marketplace.
You’re dead wrong. Just because Catholicism was triumphalist with the dying pagan world doesn’t mean it has the best of it.
@@froilanadiaz Maybe so neither of us are in position to know for sure. I could be wrong I could be right.
@@froilanadiaz It retained the essential parts of Paganism in Christology. Possibly you're dead wrong?
@@Austria88586 considering my background in both, doubtful.

Using animals products is good and right.
Haha, it took me a moment to figure this one out. But yes, we approve this message! :)
