    I am so happy i found this channel. I have converted from Islam to Catholicism. Jesus and Mary saved me. It's quite a story. Praise be to Jesus.

      Here is my story: I became Catholic after reading Chapter 19th of Quran when my son randomly pointed at that chapter and wanted me to read it to him; let me mention that I was born and raised Muslim. After i read it to my son i wanted to share it another time with a Christian lady at work trying to show her the similarity between Islam and Christianity about the miraculous birth of Jesus. The verse 33 where Jesus Says " Peace be upon me the day that I was born, the day that I die and the day that I shall be resurrected " changed my life that day for the better. Although I had read the chapter many times, that verse stood out one day and never left me, It seems Jesus wanted me to know He died for me. I started questioning the fact that the Quran says that Jesus wasn't crucified nor did he die and that it was made to appear as so and that God exchanged him and raised Jesus to Heaven (surah 4 verse 157); I didnt stop until I researched and found the truth. There is way too much evidence of the death and resurrection of Jesus, I thought " Why would Islam deny that and make God seem like a deceiver and Jesus to be a Failure?"; "Why would God promise a redeemer and take it at the last minute ? " and then I found odd that In islam Jesus is coming back at the end of times to judge the world, in the Quran (Surah 43:61) he is the sign of Judgment day; in the hadith on that verse the Prophet elaborates and says that Jesus will come to judge the world as Fair Judge and Ruler. I thought interesting that it was Jesus who was coming to Judge us but that we couldnt worship him directly. How powerful is it that God left Jugement day up to Jesus? Could this make him God then? I kept researching and reading the life of the Prophet Mohamad through trusted Islamic sources and i encountered a face of Islam i wasn't raised to know; Unfortunately many muslims don't really read their sources nor do they think critically ; I felt deceived because I always thought Islam was love and peace but i realized that the love and peace mentioned in the Quran is only towards other muslims not even modarate muslims who are viewed as hypocrites; I also found some very distrubing behavioral traits about the prophet Mohamed and also found that He had become confused at some point about the source of his revelations ( God or the devil) and that's when verse 94 of chapter 10 of the Quran was revealed to him and in that verse God wants him to seek clarity with the people to whom the Bible has been revealed because they had the true book revealed by the Lord. It's interresting there seem to be 2 forces contradicting each other in the Quran when you read carefully. I also found that Mohamad had revealed some disturbing verses referred today as the "Satanic verses" (Sura 53, 19-20) where he revealed the name of 3 other Goddesses to be worshipped along with Allah who are called al-Lāt and al-‘Uzzá and Manāt. He blamed those verses on a magic spell and the devil. I found this very disturbing for a religion claming to be monotheist . I started doubting everything and wondered "Could the devil have played a major role in the revelation of the Quran to Mohamed because the story on how his revelation started was quiet intriguing. Islam beleives that Its Angel Gabriel who appeared to him and revealed the Quran to him , the same one that appeared to Mother Mary to announce Jesus , so according to Islam Angel Gabriel is the author of the Quran . I thought it was weird because the angel Gabriel who appeared to Mother Mary to announce the Good news, knows God has a son because he told her that. How can the same Angel appear to Mohamad 600 years later and tell him that God doesn't have a son?(muslim dont believe Jesus is the son of God; the Quran says he is a prophete and that God has no begotten child. Also, It seems by denying the death and resurrection of Jesus , Islam could be taking away from us the very Key of our salvation which is to believe in Christ and the price he paid for us , but instead Islam takes a big unnecessary detour? If Jesus is the destination why not go straight to him? Could the detour from Jesus, all while recognizing him as a Prophet of God, lead to hell? I refused to find the answered at my death and chose to follow Jesus. In the same Quran God promises Jesus that all his followers will be uppermost until Judgement day (Surah 61 verse 14); I found some disturbing info about the circumstances of the death of Mohamad in the Hadiths . He seems to have died the same way he said God would have punished him if he was found to have fabricated words in the name of God thus be a false prophet (Surah 69 verse 44 to 46) which is by cutting his aorta. In the hadiths, at the time surrounding his death, he mentions feeling his aorta being severed while suffering from a poison he was fed by a Jew woman whose family he had slaughtered; The same woman tells him that she poisonned him to test his prophecy and that God should save him if he was a real prophet but God doesn't save him. Why isn't any of this alarming muslims? All af it is int he islamic sources ( Quran and Hadith); I guess because the penalty ofr leaving islam in extremist countries , is death. The history of the steps of the pilgrimage to Mecca, what's inside the kabbah (the black cube), and the real place of women in Islam sealed the deal for me. I was out. I couldnt deny the truth and I decided to follow Jesus. When I started reading the bible, I found myself, my true self. Reading the word of Jesus overwelmed me with Joy and peace ; Plus I had a very revealing dream and a confirmation of my dream ; in my dream , there was a glowing light behind my door and through the glowing light something which appeared to be a shadow seemed to be walking a away and said " I AM" . and I thought the message was not complete; I later found that in the bible Jesus said "I AM" a lot to show he is devine; I went from thinking " I AM is not complete" to thinking " I AM IS EVERYTHING"; lol; I believe Jesus healed my depression. I chose the catholic church because the source of my conversion involved Mary and Jesus (the chapter 19th Chapter of Mary in the Quran) it's interesting they are the 2 beings that God has made without sin. So i knew Jesus couldn't lie to me when he said that he would die for us and come back to life because he is deprived of the ability to lie or deceive. You may not believe this but my name is Myriam which is the Hebrew name of Mary and I was born on a 19th just like the chapter that triggered my conversion and I got the last name Christian though my ex husband. Way too many points to be a coincidence; I felt Mary and Jesus knew me before I was born and that all my life there were blue prints to lead me to that moment they show me the way "Home". They wanted to make sure that when the day comes, i would know it was them and none of it was a coincidence. This makes me the first Christian of my entier family. I feel i was made a sign for my family, that through me they shall see the truth and find their way "Home". ( Forgive my typos my first language is French);

      ​@@2012loveyourself What a story Myriam!!! God has blessed you so beautifully! Will pray for your family to follow your steps and accept Jesus Christ as their savior. I agree with a comment above, I think you should write a book, article, or anything that can reach more people, especially Muslims. I know the dangers that such thing can carry, but you should not fear
      Isaiah 43:1
      “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

    Even though I have a physical and a digital copy of the CCC (2nd Edition) I still enjoy returning here. Why? This video series is very well done and should be kept alive for the faithful.
    For those just learning the Catholic faith for the first time - how lucky are you! I pray that this "Tour of the Entire Catechism of the Catholic Church" will stay online (and free!) for those who need it.
    Praise be to Jesus and Mary - Now and Forever! ❤

    Well, here it be for me. I was babtized as baby but have been sporadically educated ( mostly self educated in the faith in which I was baptized. I never went to Catholic school but grew up 2 blocks away from the Catholic Church (Franscican Friars) in NYC....I love it as way of Spiritual disciple to train my mind/self/spirit/soul/body, to agree with the infinite and eternal TRUTH that is taught and learned via way of the beauty of the Holy Catholic Faith!.

    Fr. Daniel - I cannot thank you enough. This is exactly the resource I was looking for as an add-on to a men's Bible study group and, hopefully, future study groups to prepare catechists for youth and adult faith formation, and for simply enriching the understanding of the Catholic faith among our parishioners. It does for the study of the CCC what Fr. Al Lauer at Presentation Ministries has done for our Bible study in his 15 minute Bible study series. Thank you again!

    @franciscanfriars  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you want to help promote this series, or any other video on this channel, while you watch, try copying and pasting the outline from the description into a comment before starting to watch and then add time codes as you watch like this example from th-cam.com/video/nZcP1O9-DTM/w-d-xo.html :
    00 :00 - Introduction
    - Part Two. The Celebration Of The Christian Mystery
    00 :30 - - Section Two. The Seven Sacraments Of The Church
    - - - Chapter One. The Sacraments Of Christian Initiation
    02 :02 - - - - Article 1. The Sacrament Of Baptism
    02 :45 - - - - - I. What Is this Sacrament Called?
    04 :56 - - - - - II. Baptism in the Economy of Salvation
    11 :24 - - - - - III. How Is the Sacrament of Baptism Celebrated?
    (note: I had to add spaces before the colons so that they would not become links, but note necessary when you do it.)
    Then you can post the comment, and I will see it on my interface and copy the timecoded outline back into the description. This is called adding “Chapters," and it helps viewers to navigate to whatever point in the video, as well as increase the search rankings.
    This can be seen as I have already added the above time-stamped outline to the description of the video linked above, and added the following features.
    - The "progress bar" at the bottom of the video player is now broken into several segments, and if you hover over any one of the segments, the title of that segment will be displayed.
    - Then, in the description, the little timecodes become links that will jump the viewer right to that spot in the video
    - And beneath the video description, a "Chapters" bar is present with a thumbnail for each section, again with links.
    - TH-cam very much encourages these Chapters by generously increasing our search engine rankings, as I mentioned.
    - It will even give links in search results directly to a chapter, further drawing people to the series.
    Not bad for just adding a few numbers before each line of the outline. For me to do this, I would have to watch the whole series again but, as good as that would be, it would be a big help if you could do this while you are watching.
    Something to consider. Thanks again. Enjoy the series. - Friar Roderic

    Hello Father. Why doesn't the Catechism include the Spiritual Works of Mercy? Even the abbreviated Baltimore Catechism included them.

    • @seelau
      @seelau 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Magickirk1 Paragraph 2447 does, indeed, list the spiritual works of mercy, though probably in a more abbreviated form than what you are used to (or than what you would like): "Instructing, advising, consoling, comforting are spiritual works of mercy, as are forgiving and bearing wrongs patiently." (CCC 2447)

      The name Catholic was first used in Antioch by the same people who first used the word "Christians" to refer to their fellow believers in Christ Act 11:26. Catholic was used only a few decades later to distinguish from the Jews. Catholic means universal, as in open to all who put their trust in Christ, and thus were spiritual descendants of Abraham as opposed to old covenant that was open only to Jews, blood descendants of Abraham and really only of the patriarch Judah. It was a way of stopping the Judaizer movement within Christianity, enabling a continued freedom from the burdensome ceremonial law. - Friar Roderic

    I have read the entire Catechism content of The Catholic Church and would like to know why the Church has a Egyptian Obelisk in front of St. Peter's Basilica...I agree with many things in the content but disagree with the sacraments and transubstantiation which are philosophical ideas from The Religion of Mithraism and are aristotelian beliefs from the greek philosophers who gained their knowledge of Iranian and Indian beliefs of The Religion of Mithraism which is practised by THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH - THE POPES AND ALL THE NOBLES ARE FOLLOWERS OF MITHRA...

      Thanks for the comment. Transubstantiation is a Latin term coined by Christians to describe the belief of the real presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. It was never used by any Greeks.

      The Obelisk is capped by a cross and is therefore a symbol that Christ has supplanted Pagan religions
