Thank you for catching that! They are posted in the show notes below the video. Let me know if you have any more resources that were mentioned that were not included!

So which part needs to be corrected?

I don't follow your comment. What in the clip do you disagree with?

Thank you for listening!

Hello! Thanks for watching!

Not really sure where you get the idea that Catholics "glorified" a man instead of Christ. Jesus instituted the Pope Himself. So if you disagree with the Pope, take it up with God

@ You mean when Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom to Peter? Yeah that was to open the gospel up to the gentiles. As he then proceeded to do by visiting Cornelius and evangelizing him. With many witnesses. So that everyone could know the good news is FOR EVERYONE, not just the Jews. How was that creating the office of pope in perpetuity??

@meliciousgoremay do you understand what “giving the keys” means in ancient culture? That was Jesus telling St. Peter essentially “when I leave, you’re in charge of the Church here on earth.” Also, why is St. Peter listed first whenever the apostles are listed? Why did St. John wait for Peter when he arrived at the tomb first? Why did St. Paul defer to Peter on certain matters? Clearly Peter had some sort of authority in the early church given to him by Jesus himself.

@@themanlycatholic You’ve failed to show how Peter having authority in the early church and the privilege to share the gospel with gentiles should then translate to an office of pope which puts another human in between us and God. The early church was lead by deacons and elders, there was not a single person at the head like a pope or a pastor.

@meliciousgoremay I did show you that but you ignored it. He isn’t between us and God. Not sure where Catholic teaching says that. I encourage you to do a deep dive into this and look at it honestly because it will lead you to the truth. A TH-cam comment debate isn’t going to do much. I wish you the best. God bless

So, is Jesus God then? The Bible teaches that Jesus is God. If you follow the logical conclusion of what he is saying and look up Catholic teaching on it you see where it is coming from

@@EricShosha thank you for commenting! Not sure what you mean here. What is profane?

@@serai4741 he was so much fun to interview! He’s written so many great books. My personal favorite is Our Lady’s Wardrobe

God does not hate tradition. Jesus condemned the Jewish leaders for adding erroneous laws and rules that made it extremely difficult for the Jewish people to follow. Jesus was a Jew and did not condemn the whole Jewish faith and traditions. What is "genuine prayer" then? Why can't a repeated prayer be in fact, prayer? I don't understand your line of thinking that just because someone says a prayer that was written down that it cannot be authentic.

My pushback is why do you refuse to say scripted prayers? When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray He responds with "this is how you should pray." Repetition is a beautiful thing and can be very advantageous, especially when you don't "feel" like praying. Jesus taught the Our Father for a reason. It is fine to break it down into a way to pray but you should also cite the one prayer Jesus taught His disciples that was recorded

Amen! It is amazing how much they hate and fear Our Lady

@@rosemarykirby7489 thank you for your comment! The point is that the church was founded by Jesus Christ so there was a church before the Bible was even put down in writing. So in essence, protestant churches do have to rely on tradition because of this fact

There's plenty of evidence for God's existence. I'm guessing it does not meet your "criteria" of proper evidence though. Your concept of God is not the God in the Bible which, sadly, is the case for most people who are Atheist or claims there is no God. I hope you look at the truth at the Catholic Church with an objective lens to find out who God really is.

@@themanlycatholic a lot of people say that and they never provide any realistic evidence. It's a belief and it's an assertion. Provide the evidence that nobody will doubt. Do you doubt the sun is warm? You see that's indisputable. How is it that this God can be iffy but yet the sun can be so obvious?

You are correct that there is only one God. However, it is clear that he became man in the person of Jesus Christ. Incarnation is a dogma of the Christian faith that you have to believe. Without it the whole faith would fall apart.

God can work outside of the sacraments. So yes, Protestants can get into heaven. However, if a Protestant knows full well the Catholic Church is the true Church and they choose to reject it, you are going to have some issues there.

@@themanlycatholic If they "know full well the Catholic Church is the true church", they'll become Catholics. They're already Christians, it's just a matter of switching churches. BTW, why use euphemisms like "you are going to have some issues there"....say it plainly "They're going to go to Hell"

@@gilbertcandco not quite, but thanks for watching!

@@themanlycatholic Nah, it's a crock of shit mate.

@@gilbertcandco how do you know? Why do you say that it is?

@@themanlycatholic Well you're claiming the existence of the supernatural, so you've adopted the burden of proof. So until you demonstrate to me that this claim is true, I don't believe you.

@@pezlotony thanks for watching!

@@PedroFigueiredo-ti7vu thank you so much for sharing Pedro!

@@stephenbailey9969 thanks for the comment! This isn’t accurate though. Yes, the Church consists of the body of people, but there’s a reason Jesus established an actual Church. The Church has authority, as given to it by Jesus Christ himself. Without the Church there would be no Bible, which comes from tradition

@@themanlycatholic Yes. But that is quite different from the later historical hierarchy. The collegiality of the episkopoi/presbyteroi in the first centuries protected against falsehood, while maintaining the simplicity of the gospel. It was the later mingling of the church leadership with the Roman imperium which began the course of hierarchy, corruption, and official schisms. From preaching and choice to coercion and social conformity. The best things to happen to the church in the last centuries has been the dissolution of state churches and a return to the gospel.

@@stephenbailey9969 i think i get what you’re saying. You’re saying the early church was fine and then it became corrupted when it became associated with Rome or the government? Please correct me if that’s not your stance. But even if that were the case, it would not justify a complete schism that has resulted in thousands of new denominations. Paul’s whole point was that anyone can create a church here in the United States which shouldn’t be so. We have to have a standard to look to and that is the Catholic Church

@@themanlycatholic The schisms were not mainly over ideas, all though that was a rationale. They were over power, over who gets to choose the leadership of the state churches. Pope vs. Byzantine emperor was the East/West schism. Pope vs. kings was the Protestant Revolution. All of this was about state churches and the coercive use of government to create social conformity. Once Christ's people became free to search the scriptures themselves, and the power of state churches was broken, then the outpouring of the Spirit came and has spread across the globe. We are today closer to the original simple faith of the apostles than in 1500 years. No matter the names and structures of 'official' denominations.

@@genebodjtb thank you for your comment! Please forgive my ignorance, but I’m a bit confused by your comment. I don’t understand the “we have a sorcerer word of prophecy” meaning. We would all agree that scripture trumps personal testimony. Especially if the personal testimony is not in line with scripture. I don’t see how what he said contradicts scripture.

@@jonathanpinckney9227 the Pope did not “put a price on his head.” He excommunicated him. Purgatory is in scripture but Luther rejected the Catholic bible so decided to remove the books he disagreed with. He even wanted to remove Revelation and James but decided that was too far.

@@themanlycatholic Where is purgatory in scripture? What would this excommunication entail at the time?

Here are some good articles to address those questions: www.catholic.com/qa/why-and-how-one-is-excommunicated www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/is-purgatory-in-the-bible

@@sergiocalderon1528 sadly this just doesn’t exist anymore does it? People getting “married” on the beach or at a vineyard. Taking God out of it

@@JC-qb3wx greetings! Thank you for tuning in! Let me know what you think 😎

It is referenced numerous times even though the term "original sin" is not stated. The Trinity is also not stated directly but is agreed upon by all Christians.

What scriptures?

@@AndrewMartinez-gi5mx Genesis 3, story of Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden, Psalm 51:5, Romans 5:12-21, Ephesians 2:3

When you have that much skepticism, no amount of evidence will suffice. Even if videos were posted with what you want, people naturally will say "Oh, that was manipulated, it's not real." Just youtube videos of various exorcists who all say consistently the same thing. These are all sound men who naturally are skeptical and don't think the devil lurks in every shadow. Their stories and cases are real. But judge for yourself

@@themanlycatholic "When you have that much skepticism, no amount of evidence will suffice." The problem is - no evidence at all has been offered. In all the time that this subject has been discussed - no evidence. "Just you tube videos of various exorcists who all say consistently the same thing." And people who say things are guilty of hearsay. One has to put them in the same category as those who say they have seen UFOs. Anybody can say anything. Me included. But I am skeptical and evidence will hellp. So far - none.
