As a protestant married to a catholic growing up in a family very anti-catholic, your videos have really cleared up a bunch of misconceptions of the catholic faith. Thank you so much for posting videos like these. Please continue!
how come you picked that one?
@@MikeHunt-fo3ow To every religious soul out there:
BIBLE (KJV)
John 10:1
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Ephesians 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Look into orthodoxy it is the original church
@@Billshurwin the original church keeps the seventh-day Sabbath. It keeps all of God's ten commandments. When Constantine became emperor of Rome he changed the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday. Catholics made up a bunch of reasons afterwards to defend why they were breaking God's law. Including that the Sabbath is "Jewish law".
I don't know what "misconceptions" you had about Catholics but America was built on religious freedom. In other words it was built on protestantism because protestants had to flee Europe because the Roman Catholic Church was executing them for herecy. The Roman Catholic Church killed approximately 50 million people using the French and completely eradicated 3 kingdoms. Think of 3 different countries.
So-called "anti-catholic" is not a bad thing to be as a matter of fact as believers, we are called to identify, call out and defend against false doctrines and blasphemy, the Apostle Paul laid it out very clearly, this is part of the Christian walk - and intra-church accountability are precisely why we have the Epistles in the first place.
Catholicism is a fraud, Jesus is coming back in part to expose and destroy it, it's roughly about a third of the entire content of the book of Revelation is exposing what is ultimately going to happen to the papal 'authority' and the system of Roman Catholicism.
For long have I waited for the triumphant return of Catholicism in Focus, and what better topic to tackle than one I am deeply passionate about, Church History!
I'm with you, brother! This series is what brought me back to the Church and having it continue is an answer to my prayers! Alleluia, praise be to God
Look at Fr Mike Schmidts` homily for this Sunday`s Mass. It is important my brother in Christ.
God bless you and keep you. Through the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the Most Holy Name of our Blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The New Moses, and New King David. Amen.
I like Church History too. The best book I found was Helen Ellerbe's "The Dark Side of Christianity". I wasn't surprised by any of it.
@@aleccullen2696 The Church is made of sinners, it is not unexpected that there is sin. Its endurance in spite of forces within and without is merely another line of evidence to this project`s Divine origin. You can dismiss, discount, or explain away the evidence as any evidence can be by the deternined opposer, but until the Church does not stand, it is valid to say that She has survived two millenia and the rise and fall of empires, cultures, and ages. And if one is going for worship of God in general, this pedigree continues for at least two millenia more.
@@LostArchivist The Roman Catholic Church has not survived for two millennia. Many will perish for lack of knowledge.
I am so glad Catholicism in Focus is back!!! Thank you, Father 🙏
Roman catholic history is filled with murders, lies and debauchery
Catholicism or Roman Catholicism?
@@timothyreilly8394 Its the name of the series that this priest has. But to answer your question: Roman Catholicism
I am preparing myself to be baptized Catholic and I appreciate this video. Thank you 😊😊
God bless you! Welcome to the family 🙂
Welcome Home. When is your baptism? Easter?
Take a Marian name 😁
SAME!
Just sent an email to my local cathedral asking to be baptized. Wish me luck
I'm a Catholic in Vietnam ! Thank you, Father
Sir please give number from shillong india
Hey Father! Love your channel. I am a Hebrew Catholic and I think it would be great if you did an episode on Hebrew Catholics. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
With all due respect, what is a Hebrew Catholic ?
@abrahamtoulabou basically, it's Jews or people of Jewish descent who are now Catholics.
@YAJUN YUAN heck no.
I second your comment. So many people don’t know about us!
I just came across a channel called the Jewish Catholic.
I nearly cried when the intro for Catholicism in Focus played in a video uploaded today 😭
I did cry. Such drivel.
Protestant and history dork here. Very nice job at giving an accurate overview on this topic and staying as unbiased as is possible on this topic. I appreciate how you addressed the protestants without insult and also without sacrificing your perspective as a loyal Roman Catholic.
What Christian from the list of Christians that assembled the New Testament together would you not have a problem teaching your Sunday School class?
Protestants do not seek the Truth!!! And they say to believe the Bible...1 Timothy 3:15!!
@@codysmith7038 Catholics do not have Sunday school!!! Nor do they take Bibles to Church with them, guess why?
@@dvdortiz9031 We’re not banned from bringing Bibles to Mass 😭 I bring mine nearly every Sunday. Also, the reading of scripture is a huge part of Mass
@@dvdortiz9031 oh idk maybe because we listen to the Bible every Sunday? People are free to come with their own bibles, but our tradition comes from LISTENING to the Gospel, not reading it. What do you think we do? Scratch our heads? 😂
Crazy coincidence how today I binged church history videos for the first time and 5 hours later, this video is uploaded 🤯
God is trying to show you something!!
Same here!
I think there's a need for us to know more about church's history.
I too have been researching this topic for the last week so this was great to find.
@@ericknovamx read on Pius IX, Leo XIII, Benedict XVI, Pius X and Pius XI, the 5 excellent Popes who died hostages in Vatican 1870-1929!!! I bet you do not know anything about it!!!
@@dvdortiz9031 I'll just read the King James Bible, thank you!
Your presentation on the history of the Catholic Church reconfirms the church history I learned from Dominican teachers years ago. They did a good job of training me and I went on to major in history at the University Of Wisconsin. Yet today there is a segment of a very verbal minority within the church who either is not trained in church history, or is determined to misrepresent it. So thank you for presenting a very balanced and accurate picture of church history. Continue to do so. Church History 102 would be helpful to many of us.
May God bless your work.
Great summary of history...thank you Father Casey for this great effort.
Can you make a video about the Catholic church in the different continents? How they grew and unique traditions that you like?
Every day in every catholic temple we proclaim the same readings, same Spirit, same Eucharist and same homily!!! Cathilic means universal...if you go to any catholic mass in any language, you can follow the mass even the read Scriptures and communion!!!
@@dvdortiz9031 You are absolutely right! One church, one faith, one tradition, one goal. The Church is one and the same all around the world.
However, I think is proper to also make notice that the Church allows for some local traditions too [with proper permission, obviously]. This means that certain places can have a particular celebration on some particular day or period that may not be found or practiced in some other places.
A common example would be if there is an special devotion for a saint in one locality, due to him being an important part of its history or a temple being dedicated to him or something like that, then they may celebrate that saint's particular mass on his day while others wouldn't [and rather follow the ordinary of mass].
Same goes for some rites, per example in some Eastern Catholic churches that are, technically speaking, orthodox in rite but are in communion with the Pope and the Vatican, those may practice them rites in slightly different ways, like infant baptism, where in the roman rite the priest pours water three times on the head of the infant [usually with a shell], while in some of those other rites they may quickly submerge the infant fully in water. Stuff like that, but the Church allows it for in its divine wisdom it understand the necessity for local traditions too.
Other than that, we are all the exact same and profess the exact same dogmas and doctrines, as you well said. Universal, indeed!
@@dvdortiz9031 that not what "Catholic" refers to by the definition of Universal.
@@GranMaese Don’t forget that there are also different languages.
This is the most honest and informative church history I’ve heard to date. Thank you so much.
I am so glad that Catholic in focus is back. It is truly my favorite part of this channel keep it up Fr. Casey.
I don't know much about church history so this was great! Very interesting how the development of priests and parishes came from bishops having too many people to minister to. Makes sense!
I don't know how others feel but I would so pay for more video content about this. You do a great job for the primer and then then bring in the catholicism series to solidify those.
I'd be super interested in a much longer video or even a series doing a deep dive into church history.
Dear Father Casey: I sincerely thank you for having reconsidered your initial decision regarding 'Catholicism in Focus'.
I label myself as an agnostic. I've been following your videos since a while, and I have to say I saddened when you told us you wanted to devote your content to more 'pastoral' concerns. I'm one of those who need 'food for Reason' before receiving your points of faith. So... It's really thoughtful from you to have resumed this dimension of your Ministry. God bless you.
God bless you ✝️
I’m so glad this series is back! I use a lot of these videos for RCIA, and this topic happens to be one where I feel I need a little help presenting things in a concise way. Thank you Fr. Casey!
So happy you are back. Great information.
So glad to have new videos from you, Fr. Casey. God bless you!
First time I heard the "power vacuum" explanation for the circumstances that led to the great schism, thank you for the information!
Yeah, it’s a fascinating topic!
Awesome to see this series back!!!
That really held my attention. Thank you, Father. More please.
Hi, Father
Thank for your well-balanced presentation. I'm a Secular Franciscan and I love church history, these short videos are ideal for keeping my curiosity at its peak. I am currently reading "What Happened at Vatican II" by John O'Malley. Great book that answers lots of questions. You see, as a lifelong Catholic, Vatican II was and still is confusing to me. Thank you for your clear, concise videos. They really make a difference. Keep them coming.

@@willp.8120 Not almost. Do. Ever hear of Fatima. According to them, She who is without sin intercedes. She in partnership with Jesus interceding for us, to God as a tag team with Jesus? Not my words or faith.
@Breaking In The Habit... That was really well done. Kudos!
Thank you for this great introduction! It definitely gave me the starting point I needed to look further into the details of each era.
A really good review, with reflections on the good and the bad. It’s a good jumping off point for further study
Amazing video. I really missed this series
Thank you Fr. Casey. Enjoy watching and listening to our church history.
Absolutely excellent overview of major themes in Church history at lightning speed. Thanks so much! Plus, I can replay it at 0.75 speed to absorb it better.
One of your best videos Father! Thanks !
I am very happy I found you as a new catholic who went through Rcia. You are straight to the point and are clear with the information. Thanks I look forward to seeing more
Great video Fr. Casey!!!
Wonderful overview, Father. I sent it to a couple people I know who are struggling with their faith. I pray this helps them.
I'm gonna pray they don't fall for this deception.
Find something to do like a job or a hobby, Timothy. And how do you know that your denomination, out of how many hundreds or more there are, isn't the result of a deception?
@@timothyreilly8394 I see you again in this comment section. Who hurt you dear Protestant?
Excellent effort to summarise Church history
Excellent Introduction, keep it up please.
Good video padre. I will share this with people I know.
Thankyou. May God bless your mission 🙏
Amazing accomplishment!! Keep Catholicism in Focus coming! Thank you so much, Fr. Casey!!
I support him
This was so awesome Father Casey! I love our Church!
You idolize your church!
Awesome. Excellent video. God bless you Father Casey 🙏.
Fantastic overview of Church history! Thank God for the Catholic Faith!
Great and informative video Father Casey! Hope to see you in Anaheim for the RECongress!!! Many blessings!
I am a protestant, but I enjoy learning about differences in denominations. Thank you for what you do.
Thanks Father for all your time and work helping us to understand the profound truth on an easy way
Very insightful history, thanks Fr. 🙏
Thank you for your presentations, it truly has helped bring me back to my Catholic roots and made a lot of things I convinced myself about the Church were just ignorance and plain wrong. I'm finally beginning to get it. Keep up the good work please.
Thank you for this video ❤️
I am so glad and excited that Catholicism in Focus is back. Please don't go away again.
Great episode, Father Casey. You managed to summarize the history of the Church in a beautiful, eloquent and suscint manner! Than you so much for all the time and effort you put I to your ministry. It helps in the growth of faith not just in me but in my young adult sons.
There is no growth in faith. You either have it or you don't.
That was a quick history as you said it would be. You are an articulate young man and this was very informative. Thank you.
Wooow this is a perfect video that reminds me of what I studied in the seminary.
Thanks Fr for sharing
WOW! This was excellent! I forget who said, “Past is Prelude”, but this post shows how true it is! Good work!
Shakespeare
@@gypsydonovan thank you!
Yes! I missed these types of videos.
This was perfect. I had a very similar conversation today and this would have been great to show that person!
Good video. Any chance you’ll break down each period and do a more in depth video on each of those? Big ask I know but it’s definitely some video content and we all need to learn more of our shared history.
Excellent analysis. Thank you for this summary and God bless.
Excellent! Very informative, great insight! Thanks for this episode. I think it would be worth translation to many languages. It really helps to understand our history.
This is very simple, brief and inspiring Fr. Any new listener Catholic or non Catholic will quickly have the understanding of this point summary presentation. Thanks once again
This is the best way to take the Church teachings across. My request is this- Can you Fr please provide a similar summary talk on the history of the Bible in point presentation by year starting from the first year from which the Catholic Church began to compile and canonise the Bible until the last year when it was finally approved OT 46 books and NT 27 books please. God bless
Beautifully done. I was raised Catholic and we hung out with the nuns (I carry the name of an incredible nun who was a friend of my mom). I experienced changes of Vatican II as a youngster; then came the Jesus Movement where I gave my life to Christ in a big way; then Protestant Bible College. Church history was taught, but the focus was more on the Reformation and who came after....not much on early church fathers (guess that was for grad students).
In recent years, I listen to more Catholic teachers and pastors than I do Protestants, because I feel most evangelical churches have become too entwined politically. (I know...can of worms😮)
But if I have a point in all this rambling, it is that God’s Love is unconditional and His faithfulness is forever. It is the power and working of the Holy Spirit throughout history; and He is certainly working in our day. I am so grateful to get a small peek at this in my short years. Hallelujah.
My prayer for all believers, no matter which denomination they are in, is to keep seeking Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, and love one another.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart,
and all your soul and all your strength.
The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself.
There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:30-31.
By this, the world will know we are His disciples. Thank you Fr. Casey. 🙏🙏🙏
And i guess you're cool with worshiping mary. PS not in the Bible.
@@ashbyt1 It is amazing that despite 1,7B people saying that they do not worship Mary but venerate her, protestant still cannot understand it. I mean I don't really expect protestant to be logical when you are either beliving in predestination, which is nonsense or follow Sola Scruptura which is unbiblical in itself. Etc.
Anyway, your heart is closed, so I won't try to convince you. Facts are that Catholics do not worship Mary, but venerate her as she was mother of Jesus. No1 calls her godess or something. That is why it isn't idolatry - as some protestant say, that are unable to read. Idolatry is a sin of worshiping other gods. Mary is not worshipped and she is not consider a god. Call it praising or venerating.
I know you will keep denying the truth because protestantism has it's foundation on strawmening other religions but you have a free will to do as you please. So have a nice day mate.
@@P.H.226 well said! 👍🏽🙂 plus, who loved our Blessed Mother more than anyone else? Our precious Jesus, and He wants us to listen to her ❤️❤️✝️🙏🏻. Bless those unbelievers who carry anger
@@P.H.226lad, there's a reason Protestantism shattered into 40,000 pieces. It's built on sand. The Bible changes meaning depending on what way a pastor interpreted it 1,600+ after the early church fathers.
Nicely done Father! You managed nuance and balance in this overview without falling into partisanship. You indeed hit the highlights without ignoring the lowlights of church history. I love your channel and your style. Can you address some of the church controversies whee 19:13 there was clear evidence of the intervention of the Holy Spirit? I have a candidate in mind for your consideration.
Very interesting the fact that its 15 minutes helps out a lot God Bless you 🙏✝️☮️
Thorough and fair overview. Impressive
Thank you for your videos. I'm on my way to becoming Catholic, and I find your channel very informative 👍
Excellent initial considerations. Good summary and starting point. Vat2 was probably not bad in itself but the Concilium that came after it has been a major blow to catholicism in itself and has caused more damage than is often thought. Thx for the video.
You could probably do some on the Eastern Catholic Churches.
Thank you.
May you be well.
Awesome content. Kudos
I congratulate you for your videos and I would like to ask you to put subtitles since with TH-cam itself I can translate them into my Spanish language
Thanks for making the is video.
Gives me a lot to ponder. Thank you
i love studying history and i am particularly fascinated by our church history. as you were reeling it out i was thinking about the next moment and you said it. i think you did a terrific job in capturing the high points of the growth of the church. the church is not static. it grows and has to grow or it will die. she is an organic encompassing expression of christianity and needs to be nurtured, and prodded but not scorned to trying the best to do the best. many blessings. thank you. fr. casey
Very nice summary lesson on Church history.
But bullshit mostly.
Well done Father! A history of Eastern Christianity some time? From a coptic fan.
Saints Cyril and Methodius, missionary catholic monks to the Slavic people!!!
Saint Catherine monastery,
At the foothill of mount Sinai
I LOVE IT! THANK YOU!!!!
Excellent summary. This video is very much appreciated.
Informative! ❤️❤️❤️
That was amazing. It was so succinct and well presented.
Wonderful talk, amazing. Please put this in book form, it will help the laity a lot. Thank you.
Great video Fr, however, it was Theodosius I who made Christianity the official religion in 380 AD :)
It seems that there is debate about this. If you search "official religion of Rome" into Google, the first thing that comes up is an article from PBS saying Constantine did this in 325, followed by a few others corroborating this. I was taught this in my church history class, but other sites mention Theodosius. I'm guessing there were similar decrees in each time, the second one taking root.
I think Theodosius must have made Christianity the official religion. Constantine being a politician may not have made such a sweeping change even before the majority of the population had converted to Christianity. Some of the monuments constructed during the early phase of his reign had depicted the Roman gods. BTW, Constantine himself is supposed to have been baptised just before his death.
Constantine made it legal
The word Catholic is derived from the Greek adjective, katholikos, meaning "universal," and from the adverbial phrase, kath' holou, meaning "on the whole." The first use of the term "Catholic Church" (literally meaning "universal church") was by the church father Saint Ignatius of Antioch in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans (c. 110 AD). Seeing the church was spreading in multiple nations He termed it Catholic-universal-church. The true church founded by Jesus Christ have Bishops and Deacons. Philippians 1:1 KJV Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the BISHOPS and DEACONS.
I was a cradle Christian. That is, I went to church with my parents and my siblings because that's just what people did on Sunday morning. I hadn't given a lot of hard thought to what I actually believed until I found a book by C.S. Lewis in a boot-camp library. That book was "Mere Christianity". As soon as I could, I bought my own copy. Since then, I've bought every book written by C.S. Lewis that I could find. He had a talent for defending Christian theology in clear and entertaining terms that made sense to me, and gave force to my faith; lending logic and reason to the prompting of my conscience. Then, though C.S. Lewis, I found the writing of G.K. Chesterton. His point of view added humor and emotion to my understanding of Christian theology. I still hunt for more copies of his works, whether in hard copy or digital, because I believe he still has more to teach me. Keep learning, brothers!
Very well presented.
One of the better sum-ups of catholic history, but I think you glazed over the events of 1054. Considering this was a much larger church divide than the reformation it's a bit important to explain the reason for the divide.
Agreed
Very interesting. Thank You
I like videos like this the history of the church is what got me more connected to my faith…fr Halloway has a very in depth look into history of the church
Brilliant and exactly what I was looking for to explain how we got from Jesus and the apostles to today. Thank you!!
It’s back, baby!!
Would you be able to make a video on what should a Catholic Christian do everyday?. Like praying, worship and stuff like that?
Because I am confused on what to pray honestly. Like video with each day of the week.
Hello, I can recommend you to watch "10 minutes with Jesus" and to visit the Opus Dei pages with abundant stuff for lay people who aim to live their Faith in everyday's life.
@@loremipsum2989 what parts in concrete.
@@pasalasaga The following points are helpful to consider, proceeding step by step, steadily but without stress, relying firmly on the help of God, our loving Father, not on the own forces: 1. To get out of bed at the time planned before and to offer the work, joy, pain, family life, sports, recreation etc. of the new day to God, uniting them with the Sacrifice of the Lord, sacramentally made present in the Holy Mass. 2. At least 10 minutes of meditative prayer (mainly: meditating His Word and listening to Him) before eating breakfast or beginning to fulfil the duties of the day. 3. Working in service to God and men, with competence and the effort to fulfil a perfect work, with concentration, spirit of service, using the time well, accuracy, striving to practise the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity, prudence, justice, strength and temperance ... 4. Encounter with God and the Holy Mother of God at noon praying the Angelus. 5. If possible, to assist at the Holy Mass daily, not only on Sundays, receiving the Lord in the Holy Eucharist, if the requirements of the Catholic Church for the reception of this Sacrament in personal dignity are fulfilled, and to hold a time of thanksgiving after the Holy Communion (10 minutes are recommended) . 6. At least 10 minutes of meditative prayer in the afternoon or the early evening. 7. If possible, to pray daily the Holy Rosary. 8. To maintain the presence of God during the day, praying frequently to God with very short prayers, for example acts of thanksgiving. 9. To serve the others, especially our family members, our friends and colleagues, with joy and to try as a friend to lead them closer to God, respecting their freedom and their actual capacites/willingness to accept the Truth, and counting above all with God's grace. 10. To conclude the day with an examination of conscience, giving thanks to God for His help and begging His pardon for the committed faults, with a little, exact proposition to obey God more in a specific ascetic point. 11. To go frequently (for example weekly or monthly) to receive the Sacrament of the Holy Confession. 12. To seek and maintain a regular and sincere spiritual accompaniment with a experienced spiritual guide. - A good example is the life of Pedro Ballester, a student who died of cancer in the fame of sanctity. There exists a documentary about his life which is publicly accessible.
OH BOY! Catholicism in Focus is back. (youtube failed to tell me).
the video is largely hopeful in outlook.
and also i'm hopeful for more videos like this.
thanks.
Please keep blogging the history of Catholic Church .Amen
Excellent!
I WAS pretty fuzzy on Church History. Lol, Thanks, Father, for a basic overview
Очень интересно, спасибо!
I have a question about FUTURE Church affairs, if you don't mind terribly.
Have you heard anything about when all of the Franciscans in the U.S. will finally unite in one large Province and where the new Headquarters will be located?
A very good summary, also enjoyable for a history addict. Thank you, father.
Well said brother!
I love church history; studying it played a big part in my coming into the Catholic Church.
Propaganda is always in big demand.
