It’s actually a 9 month process of prayer, study, and discernment in which the person comes to a deeper understanding of who God is, what His Church is, and how God speaks directly to us through Revelation ( Scripture and the 2000 year Tradition of the Church).

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast You spoke of the 4-step process. I gave you a 4-step process.

I gave a classic example of Scriptural exegesis which points to the Assumption using Scripture to show that it’s not against Scripture and to show that the claims made by the Early Church aren’t against Scripture. In fact it makes sense that she was Assumed if Mary is understood correctly.

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast "I gave a classic example of Scriptural exegesis which points to the Assumption using Scripture." Not so. The doctrine of the assumption of Mary is clearly a Catholic falsehood. The doctrine was passed down in the bogus Catholic oral tradition of the Church and developed over the centuries. Scriptural content and Catholic tradition are two different things. You say there is Biblical evidence of the assumption of Mary? If that's the case, why wasn't that belief made an official Church teaching until 1950? As one Catholic publication says: "Venerable Pope Pius XII confirmed this belief about the Virgin Mary as the perennial teaching of the Church when he defined it formally as a dogma of Catholic faith in 1950." BTW, according to Catholic belief, Mary was assumed, body and soul, into heaven at the end of her earthly life. But is such a belief Biblical? NO!! As 1 Cor. 15:50 says: "What is made of flesh and blood cannot share in God's Kingdom." So, it's a blatant lie to say that Mary's physical body was taken to heaven at her death. Catholics can't get anything right.

What exactly?

Actually the whole video was about how Jesus is all over the Catholic home. What does dwindling numbers prove? Throughout the entire history of the Church intercession to Mary has been practice and advocated by Saints, Doctors, and Mary herself in 100's of Marian Apparitions.

All Mary does is point us to her Son. She says so herself in the last words she speaks in Scripture at the Wedding at Cana, "Do whatever He tells you." She does not contradict or pull us away from her son, she draws us nearer to Him as only a Mother can do to her son. She doesn't distract us from Her son, she leads us to Him.

So eating and drinking in John 6 doesn't refer to actual eating and drinking of His body and blood?

​@@SaintsintheParishPodcast continue reading after that verse, the flesh and blood is an analogy for a relationship with Him. Verse 63 especially points this out. The context of that particular teaching is after he fed the crowd, so He's drawing off the physical idea of eating to make His point about their spiritual hunger. He supplied their physical hunger and then explains that they are spiritually dead without His flesh and blood. I think he mentions blood here as foreshadowing his crucifixion.

But what does Jesus mean by eating His flesh and blood? Does that refer to the Eucharist or just a symbol?

We only worship God

You pray to Mary and the saints and you deny Jesus’s finished work on the cross

Praying for the intercession of Mary or the saints isn’t worship. And we absolutely accept that Jesus died once for all for the forgiveness of sins. Where do you get the idea that Catholics deny Jesus’s finished work on the Cross? That’s completely false.

Then why purgatory?

Purgatory is a state of purification for entrance into heaven. If you are in purgatory you will enter Heaven. Nothing unclean or impure can enter Heaven. So if you die without being perfectly clean of all your sins and all attachment to sins, you go to purgatory to be made pure to enter Heaven.

Thank you! We are glad you liked it!

The Catholic Mass is rooted in Scripture. It is the fulfillment of the Old Testament worship. From the reading of Scripture in the Liturgy of the Word to the pinnacle of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, where the Priest offers the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to the Father as a representation of Calvary and a continual fulfilling of the command of Christ to "Do this in remembrance of me."

How can you say there's "nothing true about Catholic worship"? --Catholic Mass is ALL Biblical; a reading from the Old Testament, the New Testament, a reading from the Gospel(often Paul or Luke), then the Eucharist. They're reading from the Bible, the complete Bible in 3yr cycles. --It's all Biblical Scripture, to worship in reverence & receive the sacraments.

I fully agree with Psalm 150. We pray it often. That has nothing to do with right worship. Which is explicit in the Old Testament with the Sacrifices that God commands His people. The Psalm is about praising God for His greatness which we should do daily with everything we do.

Catholic doctrine is found in Scripture. Either explicitly or implicit and taught throughout the tradition of the Church.

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast please give me a scripture on the assumption or Mary. Let's start there.

I gave multiple Scripture references in the video that back up the Catholic teaching on the Assumption. The role of Mary as the New Ark of the Covenant as evidenced by the Visitation compared to 2 Samuel, Revelation 11 and 12 and Psalm 132. Taken in context and read as a whole, you can see the evidence for why the Assumption of Mary was always believed from the beginning.

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast No verses mentioned!! just book and chapter!!!

We don’t worship inanimate objects nor do we worship Mary.

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast "We don’t worship inanimate objects nor do we worship Mary." Catholics know little about what the Bible teaches and even less about what Catholic doctrine teaches. For instance, 1. Catholics deny worshiping inanimate objects. However, the Catholic Encyclopedia says: "A certain *worship* may be offered to *inanimate objects,* such as the relics of a martyr, the Cross of Christ, the Crown of Thorns, or even the statue or picture of a saint." 2. Catholics deny worshiping Mary, yet, the Catholic Encyclopedia says: "As the Blessed Virgin has a separate and absolutely super-eminent rank among the saints, the worship paid to her is called hyperdulia." So, do Catholics worship inanimate objects? YES. Do Catholics worship Mary? YES.

You are confusing the word "Worship" "Dulia vs. Hyperdula" and "Latria." Dulia is honor paid to the saints. Hyperdulia is "super" honor paid to Mary for her special role ordained by God. Latria is WORSHIP proper, which is paid only to the Triune God. A better translation for "Dulia" is veneration, not worship. "Latria" literally means worship.

These are all different levels and dulia and hyperdulia are on a completely different plain that Latria. Latria is only worship as we commonly understand. Catholics do not give Latria to anyone but God alone. Only God alone is worshipped.

This accusation is so irresponsible, naive and ignorant. May God forgive you for bearing false witness against your neighbor.

There are no relics of Mary’s body. There aren’t even purported relics. It would be ridiculous to even claim such a thing. So there are not even ancient records of people claiming it because they would have been thought a lunatic because it was a common belief in the early Church that she was assumed into Heaven. It just further proves the point that her body isn’t here and it’s never been believed that it was here.

@SaintsintheParishPodcast then why did archeologist claim they found the Mary, her husband & sons & possibly Jesus under an apartment complex in Jerusalem?

@@nataliasclarandi8204keyword: claim 🤦‍♂️

Gods word??? Or some book written by men in the language of men

Nothing can contradict Scripture. We do not add to the Bible. Catholic doctrine is either explicit in Scripture or at least finds its seeds in Scripture. And it certainly doesn’t contradict it. It cant.

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast Praying to Mary ? That's just 1 thing you guys add to the bible that is horrible. Do you guys think Mary was sinless ? "Hail Mary full of Grace" in no way does that mean to pray to her

@@jackzanone6180 Have you not done any research on Jesus Christ?

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast so brainwashed

There is a substantial difference between the judgement of sinful men in committing egregious sins and the authoritative formal teaching of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. It is the belief of the Church, basing itself on Sacred Scripture, that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. So it cannot formally teach error. Again, that is different that the fallibility of sinful men who are in the Church.

What about the video do you disagree with?

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast its all a pathetic grab for power at the cost of the people

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast none of it its backed by evidence, all is for money and power

Actually, the historical evidence for Christ is factually attested to by those in the Church and those external to it. It is a historical reality that changed the course of the world. We date our present time based on the historical fact of the birth of Christ.

It is certainly true that the Protestant reformers removed the Deuterocanoncial books. Which is a major issue. And should not be glossed over. The point is that we do share the same Scriptures. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. That’s not going to help unity in the least bit. We should not compromise because we have the full canon. But we should also not be so harsh as to say they don’t have the Bible. It could be an avenue of dialogue and conversion for many Protestants if we as Catholics can try and argue from a place of agreement first.

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast Unity can only be achieved through mutual pursuit of the Truth. The truth is that we don’t have the same Bible. Period. No one said Protestants don’t have a Bible. They don’t have the SAME Bible. You can say that we share “some” of the same Scriptures. We could have said the same to Marcion. To gloss over this and act like it’s a path to unity is bizarre at best, untruthful at worst. A much better path would be to promote the beauty of God’s message in the missing books and let Him take over.

If you rely on yourself, you ignore the people God worked through to spread his teachings. St. Thomas Aquinas got on his knees and prayed in-between debate sessions on the Eucharist and God revealed that his teaching was correct. The early church fathers believed in the authority of the vicar of Christ, as well as the true presence of Jesus in the eucharist (as did Martin luther). Relying on yourself to interpret the Good News rejects the people God used to raise up his Church. You make yourself your own pope.

Absolutely!

Jesus must be in the center!

Thank you! We need to renew our families!

Jesus is the Head of the Church. The head of the body, as Scripture says. He doesn’t say anything about a normal and spiritual birth. He says you must be born of water and the spirit. And nicodemus thinks he means that he has to be reborn and enter back into his mother’s womb. If that were the case, Jesus would have said so. But he doesn’t. He says you must be born of water and the spirit. Born not of just water. So not the baptism of John. But with the spirit. Which is the baptism of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit comes upon you in Sacramental Baptism so you are reborn with water and the Holy Soirit.

Another point would be that in the Greek, when Jesus says “born of water and the Spirit” it is implying not of two separate births but one. One with water and spirit. And when he says born “again (or anew)” the Greek can mean again or from above which Nicodemus takes to me again. But it is clear from Jesus’s response that he means from above. John uses this phrase elsewhere in 3:31, 19:11, and 23.

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast Doesn't Jesus mean baptized by believing and once you have true faith then you are also sealed with the holy Spirit & you are born again. So baptized from above and not of water, right? Because I thought being baptized is just an outward thing we do to show our inward change/born again to GOD. I thought Romans makes it clear that we are saved by faith alone and then good fruits will follow but are u saying we gotta get baptized in order to go to heaven? So not faith alone but a little bit of works too?

@@SaintsintheParishPodcast ?

@BibleBeliever-x7b Being obedient doesn't earn salvation because nobody can earn it, it is a free gift that we receive by faith alone. The bible is so clear that works literally cannot save you and it is by GOD's Grace alone that we receive by faith and true faith will lead to repentance.

Yes! Thanks for the comment!

I used to think if we weren't praying altogether we were failing. However, now with 6 kiddos, preteens and toddlers, my husband and I have become so much better at discerning, when we should pray all 8 together, and when we should let the littlest ones watch an episode on Formed while we pour into the older ones. It took a while for me not to be paranoid about "failing" and rather just embrace the decision we made in that moment.

Praying as a family is challenging no matter the number! Understanding the necessity of prayer and making the effort is great. It is also of great value to make sure you yourself, as well as your husband, are praying. You cannot give to you kids what you haven't received! Make sure they see you praying and striving for holiness and that will have a huge impact! Keep it up! God Bless!

Family prayer is such a fun thing that requires some trial and error to figure out what works at each stage. Never compare. Do what you can. Be creative and never stop trying. We have young kids, and we have found that incorporating small "spurts" of prayer has been fruitful. When someone gets hurt, we (sometimes) stop and say a quick 1-2 sentence prayer for them. When we see emergency vehicles, we will say a Hail Mary. We do a decade of the rosary at night and offer intentions before (my 4 year old's prayer intentions are the best part of my day).

Absolutely! Great insight!

The point is that the Pope is a visible sign of unity for the Church so that the Pope, along with the Magisterium can maintain and decide matters of importance for the Church so that doctrine can be maintained and we as Catholics can be sure that what is being taught is in fact true and what is in conformity with God’s will. God Bless!
