"Good people don't go to Heaven, the forgiven do"
Which is why i’m wary of Candace joining the Catholic “church”..
@@pinoygal6232 And as Jesus said, there are no good people. The only one who is good is the father.
The catholic faith is extremely beautiful… it’s just misunderstood by those who don’t understand it or those who choose not to understand it.
Okay explain it then
@@masonridgewell8063 OCIA explains the Church teachings based in scripture - maybe choose to take classes?
@@masonridgewell8063 go experience it for yourself. You want her to explain an experience of belongings to God's church? We don't have the words on Earth to explain that beauty
@@masonridgewell8063 This is vague, what do you want explained?
@@domanicvaldez it's not vague, read her comment again.
To say that the Mass and the Catholic Church are not biblical is to say that you don’t know the Catholic Church. “There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.” - Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Very true!
Word!!!!
You are absolutely right! Over the years their have been evil ppl, high officials in the Catholic Church who made extremely bad decisions in the name of the Catholic Church! I’m Never gonna stop believing there are still Good Christians!
Here! here!! Toast 🥂 ABSOLUTELY 💯 %!!
There are many inconsistentcies in the Catholic Church than the Bible, like purgatory. I watched an interesting video called "Revelation: The Bride, the Beast, & Babylon" interesting watch. Recommended. It speaks of the links between the beast and the Catholic Church. I pray for my Catholic brothers and sisters with dicerment. 🙏🤍🕊️
Dear Officer Tatum.
I am a cradle Catholic.
People are ALWAYS mad when someone becomes a Catholic.
The Church is filled with sinners and looks like a bad party from the outside.
But it contains the fullness of truth.
That is what attracts people.
It’s like a big, beautiful family with defects in the people within it but the whole is beautiful.
Outsiders are antagonistic / jealous/ wary/ frightened and all kinds of other stuff.
It baffles me.
As for the evangelical Christians- they think Catholics are evil.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Their denominations are young and are offshoots of the Catholic Church.
They have some truth but not its fullness.
Let’s work together rather than with division.
Ave Christus Rex! The Church holds the fullness of Unity and Truth.
Ecclesia Catholica est Ecclesia vera.
Former protestant, current catholic. People fear what they don't know.
I don’t need anyone to read me my last rites…how many commandments do you have and what is the first commandment?
@jacqueblue... No.
I spent 4 years at a Catholic college and learned much.
We avoid what we know.
Former Catholic here. No longer a puppet believing what a "priest" tells me and started reading the word of God for myself. I no longer feel like a zombie repeating words over and over again in church. Thank you Jesus!
"I was a catholic once" shills have entered the chat
I think people often are not trusting of massive governing bodies… Catholic Church with all its secrets and history of oppression falls into that category.
Please interview a Catholic Theologian so you can get a true understanding of what we Catholics believe. I think you’d be very surprised.
Literally. People continue to spew obvious disinformation
Yes that would be great. Someone like Trent Horn. Or at least interview Candace on her journey to Catholicism
Exactly. Eve. Officer Tatum in this video said alot of things that clearly shows he knows nothing about the bible or the Catholic church apart from what he's heard his or other pastors say because they do not know. People criticize the one true Catholic and apostolic church for what they assume it is, not ever what they know it is. And Protestants share in the same ignorant ideas that officer Tatum is talking about in this video. But if you notice, anyone who opens their heart in search for the truth ends up home- in the Catholic Church. I pray for Candace and all others searching for truth in honesty, to find it in Christ- the Catholic Church
The reputation Catholics earned themselves is deserving. Youre offended because you’re Catholic, I have been to Catholic Church. It was such a crock.
Doing that converted me to the Catholicism.
As a life long Catholic, I welcome her!!!
Me too
Amen
Why? God's word says there is only one human totally righteous and that is Jesus. Even mary sinned just like me and you.
@@gregorystanislawski6416u are a proof why the bible was not allow to have the bible.....shows how a brain decayed filthy cunt scumpig u r ..grow up
The Catholic Church does NOT a d NEVER DID tell Catholics not to read their Bible .
I can hardly believe that he would say such a thing that is so commonly said by the most uneducated Protestants.
The Church was the first to translate the Bible into English .
It was only when Reforners/ heretics started printing and distributing altered bibles that the pope had to tell Catholics not to read them. They were tomd tk keep reading the Bible’s chained to the town squares so that no one could steal them a d so that everyone would have access to the correct Bible.
I am so disappointed , he Shiism know better .
Officer Tatum, the Hail Mary is straight from the Bible. When the angel Gabriel was sent to Mary by the Father, he greeted her, “Hail, full of grace; the Lord is with you” (Luke 1:28). When Mary visited Elizabeth, Elizabeth exclaimed, “Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:41-42).
Jesus died for our sins not Mary, The Lord used her for His Purpose To Save Us From Hell!! Jesus Is King of Kings and Lord Of Lords The Alpha and Omega!! 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻
@maryanntesta38 I mean duhh! Every Christian knows that! I never said Mary was our Savior lmao
But it doesn’t say to repeat that multiple times or to even pray to marry. She was a sinner just like the rest of us, her Son saved her too. The Bible also says to not pray repetitively , so I don’t agree with that. Also, there is only ONE mediator which is Christ. You don’t need saints or marry to be praying for you.
That prayer also says to "pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death". Why? It is Jesus and Jesus alone that saves. The official Catholic website says that they consider Mary to be a co-redeemer. That is NOT true and is unbiblical. It is through Jesus alone that we have redemption. Mary needed to be saved just like the rest of us for we have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. It is blaspheme to say Mary is equal to save with Jesus. I think more Catholics should read their entire bibles themselves, and then compare what it says to what the Catholics official doctrine says on their own website. It does not match up. I was once a Catholic and did this after I read all the scriptures. There are many inaccuracies that just might surprise you. Who should we listen to God, or man? I think I will listen to the word of God over any other thing. Mary was given the honor of carrying the Messiah in her womb, but she is NOT a co-redeemer. We are saved by God's grace through faith and not of works lest any man should boast, it is a gift from God. The Catholic doctrine says the opposite of that. We are all sinners in need of God's mercy, and He has offered it through His beloved Son alone.
@@sues3218 You truly don't know the Catholic Faith and distort the bible. Co-redeemer, you must understand what is meant by that.. Even Paul in his writings sounds like a Co-Redeemer where in 1Cor 9:22-23 "I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings." According to your misunderstanding you will have a rejection to Paul saying he saves. Mary was saved by GOD no Catholic ever dispute that. He saved her from Sin saved her from falling into sin hence the Angel Gabriel can declare her as one who has been endowed perfected with Grace. where you think that comes from, from GOD only. You say you were Catholic but you clearly did not know anything about the Catholic teachings about the bible and the early church fathers who knew the apostles. Never has it been taught Mary is equal with GOD again you have to understand what is meant by co redeemer as similar to what Paul taught from the above passage I cited. The Catholic teaching is that we are saved by the grace of GOD. that is the teaching.. but then it's how we respond to that grace. we are not saved by works, that is a teaching the Catholic Church refuted way back in the 4th century. again you have to educate yourself on what the church actually teaches oppose to sounding ignorant. at the foot of the Cross one of Jesus last words was giving His mother to be our mother and the disciple took her to his home. in the old testament, Eve was called the mother of all the living but she failed. who you now think is the true mother of all the living? book of revelation 12, refers to the woman and her children on those who keep Jesus's ways.
6:08 as a Catholic theologian, I can honestly say that most of you don’t (including Tatum) don’t understand or know the true tenets of the Catholic faith. It always makes me sad that people make decisions about the Catholic faith without knowing the facts.
Some of the reasons are obvious ones because they simply don’t align… no need to go into deep theology. Like the ones he brought up in this video.
Amen!
Agreed. Catholics get a lot of discrimination. If anything, Catholics have the deepest relationship with Christ
typical protestant negligence. as Catholics we need to pray for our brothers and sisters and let God guide them to the truth
the pope is not the vicar of Christ. Mary is not sinless, there is no purgatory, Peter is NOT the rock.
I'm a Catholic convert. As far as the saints, read the apostles creed, it says "COMMUNION of the saints". We ask the saints to intercede (pray) for us. I love Jesus, he's my savior!
Are the saints omnipresent?
The gospel is not ambiguous about this. You can only get heaven thru JESUS CHRIST and no other way. You don’t pray to saints you pray in JESUS name.
Catholics do not believe that you get to heaven through the Saints, we know that you can only get to heaven through Jesus. We ask the saints to pray for us just as we ask other members of the church to pray for us. The saints are members of the church triumphant, and revelations specifically talks about the prayers of the saints in heaven. There is also plenty that is explicitly stated in the Bible that Protestants do not believe and find ways to explain away but were always believed until the last few hundred years by Christians such as the Eucharist, and that we should hold fast to both sacred scripture AND sacred tradition which means that sola scriptura is actually not biblical. I’m a convert from the Protestant church. I’ve sought answers to all of the common Protestant misconceptions about the Catholic faith. Most of the Protestant disagreements about the Catholic Church are based on lack of understanding about what Catholics actually believe.
@@sandrayoung3557 Do you ask your friends to pray for you?
*Tobit **12:12*
Tobit, when you and Sarah prayed to the Lord, I was the one who brought your prayers into his glorious presence. I did the same thing each time you buried the dead.
You can also find that the saint in heaven pray for us : *Rev 6:9-11, 5:6-8, 8:3-4*
Intelligent people are converting to the Catholic church.
Catholic here, we call Protestants “our brothers and sisters in Christ” and it is not in our customs to try to convert our Protestant brothers and sisters but it break my heart the amount of hate we get from Protestants. There is a whole level of ignorance when it comes to why we do what we do. The baptisms, rosary, saints, even the pope. It is ALL founded in a deep relationship with Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church is the one that is allowed to mocked the most by our culture and it just affirms my belief. Satan will always attack what is good and true. Love your show Brandon, just wish you would’ve given us more thoughts on Candace and not list all of your “grievances” with the Catholic Church. Grievances that could be explored and smashed if you have a good conversation with a Catholic. Hubby and I love listening to you and I look forward to more insightful content. God bless!
it's allowed to be mocked because the Christian off shots hate the Catholic church. Catholics and Jewish people are the most hated people the world over.
if the Catholic church and Jewish people joined together and fixed the fence so to say it would lead more people back to God then an other religion.
Grew up the only catholic kid in a baptist area. Like a lot of reform strains of Christianity there were anti catholic sentiments. But I honestly gotta say: I never experienced anything that worried me as much as the vein of elitism and condescension directed at ‘Prots’ from supposedly enlightened, self described Trad-Catholics. Which only gets worse when the go to discussion ender is to label the opposition as ignorant at best, bigoted at worst.
Amen. I’m so happy for her!! I’m also an ex Evangelical pastor myself who is now Catholic.. honestly thousands of us have been coming home over the last several years as we find out the truth of church history. I’ve come across literally hundreds of ex pastors who are now happily Catholic. Also it’s not just Catholics that believe those things but Eastern Orthodox too who are also receiving huge influx of ex Protestants and ex pastors who are now orthodox!
Protestants love to attack Catholics (and I was one of the most anti catholic Protestants there was). But once you learn that all these so called “religious” traditions IS and WAS ALWAYS part of everything the early church did, preached, and practiced and believed, then people wake up and leave Protestantism and come home. Simple. 🤷🏼 But also not to mention it’s all mostly LIES (smoke and mirrors) from the evil one to keep people away from the truth. 99% of what they accuse us of, ISNT EVEN TRUE! 😂😂
It should make one think and wonder … that if a specific church that is so hated, lied upon, and attacked so much .. man then maybe…just maybe, possibly it could be the one true church… 🤔
I’ve never seen a church , so picked on, persecuted, lied about, and attacked like the Catholic Church. If people only knew that everything they think that we believe or practice is a lie… they would be running to this church!!
It’s so amazing to me how much they attack and lie about Catholics! Absolutely insane.
It’s not easy, as person that has seen both sides of the isle and still in the offense on both sides I can say they way Catholics aren’t perfect either, the Mary worshipping “ I know it’s not worshipping" but it does looks like it and I don’t buy it. I will not bow nor kneel to a human, If Daniel and his friends didn’t do it much less me. I respect, love and tip my hat off acknowledging the mother of Jesus and giving birth to my lord and savior but that’s where it’s stops thank you. ❤ but I Remember the word that become flesh Jesus chose Mary the Virgin how amazing definitely my respects, before the world was made is it not in the Old Testament? and no one gets to the father with out Jesus and to get Jesus is already been done after the Cross that was the point we don’t need a human in between, The vail has been ripped and the Holy Spirit is the reason why it exist to reach Jesus not Mary. Sorry not sorry. Ive seen too many testaments and convictions from delieverence on people being saved by evil entities in high places, raising the dead on the Protestant side, but don’t worry they aren’t perfect either, I’ll get to them soon. 😂 my own experience in the Middle East back when I thought I stopped believing but I felt like Jonah and realized that Jesus “no one else” is my savior not Mary. in the name of Jesus not the Saints not the rosary but by fasting and praying not reciting. :/ and don’t get me started with the Pope. That was the nail in the coffin for me, it really took a nose dive, And then the Protestant I agree they have some wierd ideology going on yes by faith and grace we are saved BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN TO STOP BEING BETTER, I acknowledge that we need to be better but with out Jesus we cannot reach heaven. I just simply follow Jesus and to be honest I don’t regret it I feel more than happy and at peace. Non denomination. Just a follower of Christ Jesus is king 👑.
Being in a relationship with Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ with Faith is what we all should work towards. I’m sure Jesus Christ won’t grant people access to Heaven because of the church they attended rather what’s in their heart and how they lived. God bless
Beautiful! Welcome home, brother! 🎉
@@Mish_the_ish yes!! Well, trust me, I completely understand your rant and where you are coming from! I was once in your shoes. Every single thing you’ve said here, I’ve also said throughout my life in multiple ways and even FAR FAR more things which you didn’t mention or get into and MUCH worse things than you’ve said here. SO I get it. Trust me!
But I’m also sorry you don’t see what we see.. but that’s OK! You said “you know we don’t worship Mary” but your whole rant alluded to you still thinking we worship Mary. Lol. So, I’m not sure what you want me to say.
You are also correct that we should worship none other but Jesus and we also say that and believe that and practice that. I won’t ever bow down to anyone else too!
It’s OK, I’m not one of those people that believes only one Church is going to heaven. That’s silliness and not understanding God and his love. I believe there are Christians found in every church and denomination as well as hypocrites and demons in every church which also won’t see heaven. It’s more about our heart, lifestyle and relationship at the end of the day. BUT, I also prefer to be in the most original historic church of the sacraments as well.
Plus, I also could no longer stomach Protestant, Pentecostal, or nondenominational evangelical churches anymore and all the heresies, division, delusions, changes, nonsense, and silliness that goes on there. This to me is FARRRR worse sorry (not sorry).
It’s funny when protestants find things to attack the Catholic Church on when their churches are riddled with much more and FAR greater problems, greater silliness greater divisions … and I would know as a retired pastor and ex bishop myself. I’ve seen IT ALL!! You wouldn’t even believe many of the things I’ve seen and experienced inside those churches. I have been in all or most of the mainstream denominations too before going nondenominational myself. Then as a non denominational, pastored and preached all over the world, was a missionary, and also on the radio, Internet, and everything else before starting my own ministry. We did healing and deliverance ministry casting out demons, speaking in tongues and everything. I’ve been to Bible colleges and seminaries. I’ve done it all..but most happy to just be serving in the One Holy Catholic Church now!! I gave up everything. I gave it all up to follow Christ and his one true church! This is HOME to me and I can’t see myself anywhere else. It’s EVERYTHING I’ve spent my entire life searching for in a church and in religion and in relationship to Christ and it’s amazing Beauty!! Amen and amen. 🙏🏽
@@tosinodufolurin345 amen! Absolutely! Bless you.
I am Catholic, and I welcome Candance Owens into the church
Honest question: Do you agree with Pope Francis promoting blessing homosexual marriages?
Allow me to correct myself, the Pope promotes homosexual couples. The official declaration reads: "It is precisely in this context that one can understand the possibility of blessing couples in irregular situations and same-sex couples without officially validating their status or changing in any way the Church’s perennial teaching on marriage"
Honest question: Do you agree with alot of these liberal protestant churches, especially the black churches who will pull the lever on election day for a candidate who would sign legislation that allows abortion all way to the 9th month, and allow gay marriage?
@@Axel-zc6xjThe Pope is not blessing the union but the people. He made that distinction clear.
@@NormaEsperanza23 If you're asking me, then no I don't and they aren't Christian, let alone protestant if they agree to such things as gay marriage, trans ideology, or abortions. Also, assuming you're asking me and thinking that I am protestant, you would be incorrect there as well.
@@ZerpaLuis12 where in the Bible is sin accepted and blessed?
My husband is Catholic and I was raised Baptist. We go to a Catholic Church every Sunday but we both have a relationship with God. I had so many questions about being a Catholic and I was wrong about a lot. I’m sure many others are wrong like I was!
You have made your husband out of an idol.
The Apostle tells us all to examine ourselves to make sure that we are in the faith. Something is clearly wrong spiritually in your marriage.
You and your husband don't agree with the word of God.
The Roman Catholic Church is clearly a Babylonian cult. You need to look at their Mary.
Their Mary is a depiction of Nimrod's wife Semiramis, who only had a child whose name was Tammuz. The Mary of the Bible was descended from King David, and she had 7 children.
The first child, the Lord Jesus Christ, was born of the Holy Ghost. The other 6 children were from her husband Joseph, who was also descended from King David through his son Solomon.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches that their Mary was a perpetual virgin, what nonsense.
former priest and what happened to him by this church you think so highly of th-cam.com/video/7k-jvWchaXE/w-d-xo.html
You need to get back in that Baptist church house asap
What about with Jesus?
There are members of the Baptist religion that are a part of Mystery Babylon The Great, aka the Roman Catholic religion.
They keep Easter and Christmas.
Just like the Roman Catholic religion will not save anyone, neither will the Baptist religion.
A religion is anything that denies the truth of the Word of G-d.
ALL Christians need to stand united in these times.
I cannot stand a false church led by an evil pope and more than 3000 convicted pedophile priests. Sorry but I have reverential fear of God and a conscience that can be convicted by the Holy Spirit.
Catholics aren't Christian...
AMEN!
Catholics believe in a false Gospel. Sorry, they are not Christians. They follow their man-made religion, not Christ.
You can say that again. The only one that wins in a war between Catholics and Protestants is. ALLAH.
I have found Catholic mass to be so calming and peaceful. I actually look forward to going on Sundays. I grew up going to a pentecostal church and tried attending some Christian rock and roll types of churches as an adult and I just didn’t find the peace I was looking for.
Not to mention the sacraments that the church has that no other Christian denominations have such as the Eucharist.
This is the reason why the Bible said, do not be unequally yakked .
LOL
Autocorrect strikes again
The mental picture of two yaks yoked together makes me laugh.
Amen!
I never been yakked so I guess Im safe.
Christ is the Head, we are the Body
Christ is the head mother Mary is the neck, we are the body!!
The Church is His Bride.
@devinallen4367... Yes. And that is the problem.
But I won't waste my time with explaining, biblically, why no mediator is needed between a genuine Christian and Jesus. The bible makes it clear regardless of what the Catholic Church has deceived their followers into believing.
More like the Pope and Mary. Catholic theology is unbased.
Right. So let’s not decapitate the head from the body his Church.
I'm Catholic..... We call Protestants our brothers and sisters in Christ🙂
We also call them Gods second stringers
Sadly we can't say the same. RC is a man-made religious system that preaches a false gospel, causing people to die in their sin.
That's because Catholics and Protestants are two wings of the same bird. Both Catholics and Protestants recite the apostles creed. One holy catholic and apostolic church. I'm a former catholic and catholic just means universal. Luther protested what the Catholics were doing, same with Calvin and Zwingle. They were still catholic in being universal, just their own definition of their catholic church with minor changes made. Catholics and Protestants both persecuted fundamental Christians, known in the early centuries as Anabaptists. Best way I recommend in learning Catholic history is reading Trail of Blood by JM Carroll and the persecution of that believed the final authority of the Bible and not man made doctrines that did not match scripture. Such as infant baptism, transubstantiation, infant baptism, just to name a few that aren't in the Bible.
Amen 🙏🏽💯
@johnj8144 disagree completely. RC is the old Roman pagan religion with Christian elements. Protestant is a name, which I don't recognize, given by the RC church to identify those who denounced the unbiblical fallacies of RC. The "changes" of the reformers are life or death, biblical God-given gospel based on the works of God alone, versus a synergistic man-made false gospel that leads people to an eternity in hell.
I was raised in a new age hosehold, I was depressed, had anxiety, mad at everyone, hated myself, was addicted to many things, I hated christians and especially the catholic church...........then many things happened and four yours ago, I became a catholic. Best decision of my life. God is merciful to those who seek HIM. May God bless you all. AVE MARIA
“A man called by God will not advocate for the things that are against the Bible!”
-Officer Tatum
That makes no sense. All men are called by God and all sin.
It actually makes perfect sense. Catholics believe and celebrate things that are not in the Bible. They keep Christmas and Easter, which are both pagan holidays. They changed the day of worship from the seventh to the first day of the week. They did away with the commandments in the Torah. And many other things they do that the Bible specifically says not to do
There is only one church & you're breathing it.
Exactly @@socratesfriend745
@@clagos2203. Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus and at Easter, His Resurrection- not just Catholics
I don't know why anybody would be mad at Candace for joining Catholic Church.. That's her business. We are in no place to judge other people for their religion.

There is one truth and many lies. Do you tell a friend when they have been lied to?
@@pinoygal6232- but it’s you who thinks YOU have ALL of the truth. That’s where you are extremely wrong. The Catholic Church is THE main church and one day there will be 1 flock.
Lol. She's just trying to rebrand herself. Kanye did the church thing too. 😂
She talked about other people business that’s her job apparently she’s not a reporter or works for a channel news as you know, so he made a decision and we like hers we have the right to say what we think about her.
Here is the thing. If you are reading the Bible, you can see many of things that the Catholic Church practices come from the Bible. For example, part of the Hail Mary prayer comes from Luke 1:42. The ashes on the heads shows up in several Old Testament stories when people put ashes on their heads as a sign of penance. Priests forgiving sins comes from John 20:23. The one thing that is not in the bible is the belief in Sola Scriptura and the bible did not even exist until late 300 AD when it was put together by the Catholic Church. If Christianity is based on Sola Scriptura, how did the early church survive until the late 300s?
“Putting ashes on your head” is definitely in the Bible. Not sure why he thinks it isn’t, if he has read the entire Bible. (And I say this as a Protestant Christian myself.)
Where is it in the Bible
There are a lot of things in the Bible that aren’t necessarily biblical.
Try the book of Revelation believers are marked on the forehead just like Catholics on Ash Wednesday.Also if asking for those in Heaven to intercede for us is wrong , why are angels interceding for the saints here on earth in Revelation chapter 5. Also the Elders and maytrs are there interceding according to Revelation. But hey asking for heavenly hosts to intercede is not asking them to be mediators. Mediators negotiate. The saints don't do that. @@mamabear5289
@@mamabear5289right bc that’s what I’m trying to figure out.
Ppl in the Bible typically put ashes on their head as a sign of mourning, or humiliation when they were fasting. The Ash Wednesday tradition, however, is completely unbiblical.
Officer Tatum, I respect you and I appreciate you being honest and open about your opinion. As someone who used to be Protestant and became Catholic I would say the things you described that Catholics believe are not accurately stated. I encourage you to talk with a knowledgeable catholic who is able to effectively describe to you the things we believe and why we believe them. I too thought the same things you are telling now, but I learned those things from other Protestants and not Catholics. And I would say there a lot of lies that are spread about Catholics. I don’t think on purpose, but just a little ignorance of not researching. And I did the same thing so no judgement here
I agree 100% with your comment.
I’m learning that everything I thought I knew about Catholicism is wrong.
I’ve been vocally anti-catholic my entire adult life.
Shockingly, I started to feel drawn to Catholicism/Orthodoxy late last year.
The more I learn from real practicing Catholics about their beliefs the less I have to protest.
I couldn’t agree more, I really like you Tatum, but you aren’t informed about what Catholics really believe. Traditional Catholics can tell you the why and how of what we actually believe. I’m sure that you don’t really want to sound ignorant. The info is out there, if you really wanna find it.
So why do you pray to dead saints? or bury a statue of Joseph in the yard when trying to sell your home? Why is Mary viewed as sinless and equal to Jesus? I could go on, but that is a good start regarding questions about Catholicism. No offense intended, but none of these things are Biblical. They are man-made traditions which started around 500 years ago and were not even part of the original church.
Here here
No perfect religion it's up to individual's faith to God.
Im not religious but I still dont get why people get angry about someone being religious
its not about being religious so much its about the religion she's going into
Same I'm a good person don't go to church but know right from wrong don't judge don't agree
i'm christian and it disgusts me when people are religious.
humm maybe because the catholic church is a front for pedophiles.
@@justaguy-69 interesting never heard it put like that
I'm Catholic. I have a relationship with a priest. He's my friend. We have been friends for more than 15 years. Never once have I confessed to him. We speak on our daily lives. When he comes here from Africa. I help him with the Mass in senior homes. That bring them joy. I confess to the Lord Jesus Christ. That's where my heart is. As a Catholic, my favorite Saint is St. Anthony. In every religion, some people believe what they want and leave out what they don't. Don't judge anyone's religion. Just because you don't believe like me. It doesn't give you the right to belittle me.
Sorry you're no more Catholic than someone who doesn't believe other Dogmas of the Catholic Church. You can debate doctrine and choose not to follow it, but reconciliation is the command of Jesus started in John 20. It MUST BE PRACTICED. As concerned for your soul, I suggest you study John 20 and the several examples of reconciliation in the epistles. Also for the sake of your soul learn the difference between Dogma and Doctrine. Dogma hardly ever changes. The last change to Dogma was 1850. Doctrine changes all the time like our realatively new doctririne surrounding the death penalty that Saint John Paul II stated.
I hope you do not receive the Eucharist when you go to mass.You can't refuse the "priess' confession and yet reject his "Eucharist" It's either you do both or none.You don't pick and choose what you want from the church.
Where is St.Anthony’s name in the Bible?
Sounds like you are mixing Catholicism with Protestantism regarding only ever confessing directly to Jesus. Does your priest friend know you haven't been to confession at all for years & only ever confess in this way? In all these years have you commited a mortal sin? You cannot take the Eucharist if you are in a state of mortal sin without confessing to a priest first & receiving absolution & as a Catholic you should already know that. Please speak to your priest friend about it & the church teaching? You can also check out video's online from Catholics including Catholic priests about confession.
Its just a piece of unleavened bread and you make it out to be so much more. As Samuel the old testament prophet stated Obedience to God's word is better than sacrifice.@@pascalineakum9529
As a Protestant, I have no problem with Candace becoming Catholic, afterall she's married to one, and that's great that they're attending the same church together ❤

Ur living a lie
I am catholic and I always put Jesus Christ first and I’m just glad that people believe in him in whatever Christian religion
Exactly!! What they see as “religion” or religious distractions are important elements passed on to us from saints and church fathers, it’s there to AMPLIFY and Point TO Christ, not distract or take away from HIM…. 🤦🏻♂️
With respect to Mr Tatum, he does not know or understand Catholicsm. Confession, veneration of saints, the papacy , the Eucharist is ALL biblical.
The pope is the VICAR of Chrsit on earth.
Francis is an ANTI POPE , he is NOT CATHOLIC / Chrsitian.
He is forming the anti church .
DO NOT weaponize Francis against the true Church . Francis HATES the True Church.
Mr Tatum you have NO IDEA what your are talking about w Catholocsm. . The MASS is in the Bible!
Jesus didn’t create religion, He was created to save us from Satan. Christian means Christ Like
Absolutely! We’re on the same team! Better to have faith (and practice) in Christ than none at all.
I think some of the things that catholic do seem against Christ. And what did God say about people that think they are doing good and putting God first but what does Matthew 7:23 say
Considering some of the Protestant churches became entertainment centers with a rock concert format, I can’t blame her.

I have NEVER heard any Protestant claim that pre Protestant Christian’s or even non Protestant Christian’s today can’t go to heaven. What the heck?
If you've never heard about it, does it mean it doesn't exist?
Martin Luther: "Sola Fide"
There are a lot of protestants who believe that Catholics are not saved and as such are going to hell. If you believe that about current catholics then it follows that you believe nobody went to heaven for the first 1500 years.
It's almost an article of faith in Protestantism. Maybe you're in the more formal corner of Protestantism like the Lutheran or Anglican Communion, the rest of Protestantism is dug on the idea
Me either. What the heck is right.
As an Eastern Catholic rite born and raised, I'm very happy she finally found her religious roots!

I’m a proud Catholic. Born Baptized Reared and Confirmed.

Means nothing. "You must be born again" (John 3:3). You are spiritual dead and in need of spiritual life (regeneration) (Ephesians 2:1-10).
And none of that is Biblical.
Cult
its hard for you to see how others see it since you were indoctrinated into the catholic system since birth. i understand that.
most christians read things like the 10 commandments and then see the catholic church using statues of mary and jesus on the cross and various saints and it strikes them as graven images. or they see people repeating 10 hail mary's etc and read in the bible "do not pray in vain repetitions for you will not be heard" and many many other things and it goes against the grain of others not born catholic who were taught to follow the bible and jesus teaching in the 4 gospels. i hope this helps
😇
The Catholic Church is deeper than a relationship with Christ. It teaches UNION with Christ. No one enters heaven without being fully united to Christ. And the Catholic Church is the original Christian Church started by Jesus. That's her reason for joining.
Once you realize what the Eucharist is youll never leave the Church
Grew up in a Catholic school and church. Turned my back for years. Feeling the draw back to the church lately.
Please do I did and I’m so happy
It's the Eucharist.
Come home! We would love to have you back. Jesus is waiting for you at the mass!
Go and just sit there a while in the quiet. Jesus is present in the Tabernacle. Go after work, or on your lunch break. Go and just be with him. Bring a Bible, and start to read. Ask him a few questions. Wait in silence. He will respond to you, and your journey back will begin organically from there.
Just make it about god/jesus and the Bible. Not about religion.
That is why you are to marry someone if the same faith.

The biggest opposition I get after becoming Catholic is from other Christians. God will not lead you into the wrong path. And many people even say the devil is tricking me into my faith. Well, if he is, then it’s completely backfiring because it’s only making me love God even more. Oh, and Candace is awesome!! Lol.

So who do you pray to? The church teaches to pray to mary more than Jesus.
@@gregorystanislawski6416 wrong, buddy. I’m new in faith, but church definitely doesn’t teach that. I would recommend you read up more about Mary and the Catholic Church or perhaps talk to a priest. Hopefully he can guide you better. In the meantime, God continues to lead me to my Catholic faith and I’m learning more and more each day. I do sincerely you are happy with your denomination and pray to our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh and I do ask our blessed mother to pray for me. Anyway, take care.
@@BigMo0212 The church teaches mary is more important than Jesus. What do you say in the rosary? mary, mary,mary way too much. that is breaking the first commandment. Even the pharisee's new that.

@therock3942 Agree for one why do Catholics babtize babies, they are not yet sinners? Not sure where in the Bible it even suggests babies need baptism. So to me baptizing babies is not a direction of God.
@@dmeauxoxo
What could it hurt? I think it's more for the parents. They like knowing their child has been consecrated to God. But I don't think the baby understands. Then it's not for the baby it's for the parents. I think it symbolizes that the baby has been accepted into the flock. By God by the church. I can't see where it hurts anything. It's one of the most depressing things hearing how one religion hates the other or believes they are superior. I wish it would stop because no one "knows all things". We just act like we do. The religious hatred is much worse than the things we disagree about. I know it's just human nature and we want to be right, on the right team. Believe and know are two different words... they have two different meanings. But of course if you believe something you only believe it because you think it's true. So we act like we know. But in reality we believe and we also live and learn so our beliefs will change over time. If your beliefs don't change then you aren't learning anything. But the most depressing thing is how we treat one another. Supposed to be a spirit of love but instead it's a spirit of arrogance and always trying to tear down someone who believes differently. This is one of the things that turns people away from Christianity. But Christians won't stop doing it.
I’m Protestant and I call Catholics my brothers and sisters if they have a personal relationship with Christ….that same stipulation is on Protestants too. There are those who go to Protestant churches and say they are Christian’s but they are really just church attenders engaging in a family or community ritual. I know Protestants say Catholics believe in things that aren’t in the Bible, but guess what, some Protestants don’t believe things that ARE in the Bible. I know plenty of beautiful Catholics whose hearts burn for Christ and hate what He hates and love what He loves. I have to hand it to the Catholic Church that when you enter you know you are in church and there is a reverence that sometimes isn’t in a protestant church that looks like a warehouse and acts like you’re going to a concert and for coffee and donuts.
Amen!
I converted to Catholicism because of my husband and it was nothing that I thought!! I went through RCIA and I now understand it! I still wonder why the Holy Bible doesn’t have the missing books that are in the Catholic Bible 😮

ABSOLUTELY NO ONE in The Protestant Religions thinks Martin Luther is above Christ. I dont know what church she attended that said that. But i have never heard of that in my45 years as a Protestant.
It's one of the dumbest arguments I ever heard.
Yea, Protestants today follow Christ, they don’t believe Martin Luther is above him, but I understand what shes trying to say. Technically by following Martin Luther and revolting against Christ’s Church in the 1500s, early protestants ignored what Christ had been teaching through the Holy Spirit for the past 1500 years and made their own rules, which in a certain way puts Luther above Christ.
Agreed @admiralradish
Luther was an Augustinian Monk. He thought he was holier than the church. He married an Augustinian Nun. That alone proves how he fell
She's fallow her husband's believe, they never had a real encounter with God it's so they never went back and forth, that's why her husband was raised catholic, then ho for protestant and now go back to catholic.
Former catholic here. I found Jesus Christ after I confessed my sins, but I did it through a priest and God was present. The Lord knew my heart and within about less than 6 months, the Lord redirected me out of the Catholic Church, exposing the errors. He lead me to a relationship with Him, not religion or religious practices. He took me out of tradition, out of legalism, and into love, grace, and mercy. I love the church I attend now as a Protestant I suppose I am, but I am a born-again follower of Christ who is saved by GRACE not by works, lest no man should boast. I agree with you, Officer Tatum.
This "saves by works" heresy was debunked a long time ago by the Catholic Church. Please read and educate yourself on the institution. God Bless.
If belief was enough, we wouldn’t have the Commandments, we need to put in the effort to follow Him and Jesus wouldn’t have needed to teach his disciples. The right thing is hard to do because it’s hard, just like He died for love of us, so we should die for love of Him, we are called to act for him, to better ourselves, not just say ‘yeah, that’s good enough’.
The Lord didn’t lead you away from the Faith in the same way he didn’t lead Luther to reject it and remove seven books from the Bible because they contradicted him.
@@Lord_Numpty I didn’t say it was just my belief. I now have a complete grasp of what Jesus did for me on the cross was my point. I don’t live a life of sin anymore, I obey His commandments, and I’m washed clean by His blood. Do I fall short? Of course I do. I get back up and repent, turning away from sin, trying to be more like Christ ever day through His might and strength. Not my own. He has completely transformed me and continues to. I went from cursing, gambling, lying, cheating, you name it, but with the power of His Holy Spirit in me, I have been able to turn from ALL of that. A complete miracle. You can’t clean a fish before you catch it. Jesus had to catch me first, and He’s been cleaning me up along the way., making me more like Him. I was taught, be good, be moral, be clean (on my own, never mentioned God will help you). But Jesus said, there is none who does good, no not one. I don’t follow His commandments legalistically anymore, because one, I was unable to do it on my own and kept failing, and two it wasn’t coming from the right place, it wasn’t coming from LOVING Him and desiring to obey Him. He says, If you love me, you’ll keep my commandments…the Catholic Church I grew up in taught the commandments, do the commandments and you’ll be in good favor with the Lord. WRONG. I can’t “work” my way to heaven, otherwise Jesus wouldn’t have came! It’s by grace through faith, a GIFT from God. He gifts us everlasting life, it’s not earned. A real gift is never earned. My works are evidence of my faith. I am called and chosen, and I never have a mindset of “yeah that’s good enough”. I am not lukewarm, I am on fire for our Lord & Savior.
The Catholic Church is the original true church and contains the fullness of faith. Protestants forget that the Bible was put together by Catholic bishops. We can rely on the wisdom of the Catholic Church as the bride of Christ, and not be split into thousands of denominations who don’t agree with each other. That being said, anyone who truly believes and follows Lord Jesus Christ is saved (God willing), and I love Protestants and Orthodox Christians as my brothers and sisters in Christ.
One thing I do notice is the difference in how one is treated by the communities when they leave. When one leaves the Catholic Church, I always hear sadness from the communityof Catholics over how many graces the church provides through Christ’s church that they will now be missing out on and people vowing to pray for them and their return to the church some day. I can’t help but notice the vitriol and fierce opposition and hostility of the protestant community towards anyone who dares to leave and become Catholic. I have my own theories on why but won’t put them here. I just wanted to point out this interesting phenomenon I have noticed in my fifty years. God bless ❤️
So well stated. It’s astounding the way many Protestants blaspheme our faith. Very sad
Imagine trying to keep peace in your heart without the sacraments of the Church. I think that explains alot
Strange when I accepted Christ as Savior my family blacklisted me and my wife and son. Said I left the true church. The only thing I see the catholic church is good at is making rules to follow that Jesus condemned the Pharisees for doing the same thing. Adding to God's word.
That is a first for me to hear and I have been Catholic all my life. Are you implying that a Catholic doesn’t accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of all? That is an ignorant statement and untrue too. There would be no Bible without the church that Jesus started, so please spare everyone the tired trope of how the church doesn’t follow it. If you read the Apostle’s then you will hear more than one of them say that you should follow written and oral tradition. More than just what is in the bible has been handed down to Christian’s since the time of Our Lord here on earth through his church he founded, the Catholic Church.
He didn’t condemn the Pharisees for rules of the Jewish faith, he condemned them for their hypocrisy in enforcing those rules with no mercy while not following them themselves.

Hey Brandon! Catholic girl here. I appreciate your willingness to accept that there are nuanced interpretations of various teachings of the Bible and that we are all following Jesus the best we can, whether Protestant or Catholic. I will say, though. Some of what you said Catholics believe in this video is incorrect. I encourage you to look at Catholic Answers to understand exactly what we believe so you can better relate to Catholic Christians ❤
We don’t believe the priest forgives our sins. We don’t believe the pope is infallible in all he says as a man; it’s only when he speaks on matters of faith from his official seat of Peter that we believe God gives him the grace to clarify when there is division within the Church on a particular teaching. Pope Francis has said many things that sound woke that people don’t like, but he’s never accepted gay marriage or anything else that goes against thousands of years of Catholic beliefs. He can believe in the climate crisis all he wants…that’s not a question of faith and morals. So we don’t have to agree with him on his economic or environmental opinions. The Hail Mary is almost entirely a quote from the gospel of Luke, and we are simply asking for her intercession because as someone who has gone to Heaven (and you best believe Jesus is getting his mama to Heaven haha) she is closer to the source of life than we are on earth and therefore more alive than we are. Same with any of our relatives who have passed on, only we don’t ask for anyone’s intercession who has passed until after multiple miracles have been attributed to them OR they died a clear martyr. Otherwise, we could never know the state of someone’s heart and where they ended up in their last moments. Of course Jesus wants to save everyone. But we can’t know in many cases if they turned away or not. So we don’t pray to grandma or whatever haha. And btw “pray to” doesn’t mean worship in our lexicon. That’s another area Protestants get confused. Think of the older English phrase “pray tell.” It’s a word that used to mean asking. That’s all we do. We ask for their intercession same as you do with your brother here on earth. The ashes is a ritual, yes. We don’t believe the ashes save us or do any sort of sanctification. Ash Wednesday is not a high feast of any kind and ashes are not required or considered to have any special affect. The practice of putting ashes on your head in mourning is very biblical, and so we like to do that once a year to remind ourselves of our mortality and that we are nothing without God. As the ashes are placed on your forehead in the shape of a cross, the words used are “remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” It’s just a memento mori exercise. Not a required ritual. The church is crowded that day though haha bc a lot of Protestants show up bc they find it interesting. I’ve seen some local Protestant churches offering ashes recently too! It is interesting to me that you would accept the authority of the Catholic Church in compiling the scriptures in the first place and guarding them for 1500 years, and then expect we would do anything unbiblical. I challenge you to read multiple perspectives whenever you think the church that put the Bible together through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit is misunderstanding it. There’s always a good explanation. Often it goes back to the original Greek or Hebrew where English translations fail, we modern Americans end up squabbling over details that aren’t even issues if you read the original text. Like the word for “teachings” and “traditions” is the same word in the original language. But Protestants cherry picked which word to use when in their translations and that’s why you probably believe the Bible speaks strongly against traditions. I pray for you regularly because no matter what denomination you are, you’re a man of God and you’re doing his work on this earth. And the bigger a platform you gather the more the devil will try to corrupt you. Stay strong ❤
This doesn’t surprise me at all. I saw it coming after listening to her podcast this past year+. Her husband is devout Catholic, she is disheartened by the lack of devotion & reverence for God in the Protestant church community, and she wants to be in unity with her husband. I respect her for this decision for the sake of her family and believe there are many Catholics who are every bit as saved as Protestants, just as there are many who call themselves Protestants & are not saved. That said, I am not a Catholic, and agree with what BT said about where he stands.
So happy for her!!! You go girl! I googled on who founded the Catholic Church and it says it was Jesus Christ!! Why would anyone be upset because she became Catholic! I’m thinking of doing it myself!! 😃🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That’s amazing 🕊️✨🤍
Keep learning about the faith & pray to The Lord to guide you to truth . I think it’s so courageous & beautiful to see Protestants convert to the fullness of the faith , Catholicism . It’s not easy . They risk it all to follow Christ’s Church . They lose their family , friends , careers as pastors , EVERYTHING to follow Christ . God bless you & may Christ’s peace be with you 🕊️
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” - Matthew 16:24-26
lovely! praying for you.
Because there is a lot of anti- Catholic bigotry out there.
Jesus was Jewish. He wasn't Catholic. I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic church for over 20 years. However, it wasn't until I left the Catholic church and started attending a Spirit filled, Christian Bible based church, that I really got to know my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. So many things that Catholics practice aren't even in the Bible. I always say that I don't follow a church. I follow Christ. Most Catholics are only Catholic because that's the only religion that they know and were raised in. I had questions about why we were Catholic and nobody in my family could answer other than it was just what we were. I sought Jesus for myself and my walk with Him has deepened over the years since becoming a Christian. If Catholics were to study their Bibles, they would see that a LOT of what is taught there isn't Biblical. They are being deceived. All of the virgins and saints that they have statues of in Catholic church aren't even mentioned in the Bible and goes against Biblical teaching. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." Exodus 20:4. It's not about following religion. It's about following Christ. The Jews followed religion and Jesus criticized them for it because the Law became more important than having a relationship with Him. I see so many similarities between them and Catholics in that regard. When your religion becomes more important than Christ, that's a problem. Only Jesus saves, not religion.
@@patriciamonsivaiz3305 Perfectly said! I am happy to hear you found a true relationship with Jesus Christ. I have never been Catholic, but I easily recognize so much of the anti-Biblical and even cult-like teachings and man-made traditions of the Catholic Church. As you stated, most are Catholic because they were raised that way. The sad part is the vast majority of those people would be shunned by their families if they were to leave Catholicism. It is also sad that Candace's decision will likely lead others down this wrong path.
My wife and I are both Catholic. I was never a strong religious advocate in my teen years. I went to Catechism, was baptized, first communion, confession did all the right things according to the Catholic rules but, I used to talk to my friends of different religions and ask them how they know there is a God. I received various reasons that left me more confused than anything. I realized as I got older, that it was completely about faith. I now believe in God and realize that he does not have to answer to me or prove anything to me, I am a simple servant and doing right makes me closer to Jesus and God. I pray now regularly but, not for myself. I pray for the loved ones I lost, Give thanks that I am still around after having a very tumultuous life, I pray for this country and the people of Israel. I give thanks but, never ask for anything for me. That is not what prayer is for. People who pray to be rich or saved from a situation they created are missing the point.
Prayer is also for you. Pray that God bless you and to become all that He means for you to be.
It's not selfish to pray for yourself. Ever heard of the prayer of Janez? ... "Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request (1 Chr 4:10).
Becareful about your comment about the people in Israel because you'll be surprised with what the Jewish people believe about Christians. You should also look up how the Jewish community sees Christians and what should happen to "idol worshipers". We should be completely disconnected. If you want to pray for them then pray for them to find Jesus but we should not be supporting them.
Amen. I pray for health because without it's hard.
You created your own version of God, that's idolatry. Read your bible everyday and seek Him truly. God bless.
@@BB.halo_heir WTF are you talking about?
In my journey to the Catholic Church, the fundamental error I found with Protestantism is the man made tradition that the Bible alone is the only authority. It’s irrational, unbiblical, and historically ridiculous since the early Church didn’t even define what the Bible is until the 4th century under the Pope and Catholic bishops. All Tatums other objections are either explicitly (confession) or implicitly (Saints in Heaven interceding for us) in the Bible. The problem is Protestants have adopted the traditions of men that blinds them to the traditions of God which are both written AND oral: “So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.” 2thes2:15
75 years prior to Constantine, when Christians were still persecuted by the Romans (also prior to the canon of the Christian Bible being established):
"Peter answered Him, 'Lord, to whom will we go?'... Peter, on whom the Church was to be built...taught and showed in the name of the Church that a rebellious and arrogant multitude may depart from the Church. I speak of those who will not hear and obey. However, the Church does not depart from Christ. And the Church consists of those who are a people united to the priest. It is the flock that adhere to its pastor. Therefore, you should know that the bishop is in the Church and the Church is in the bishop. If anyone is not with the bishop, he is not in the Church.... The Church is Catholic and is one. It is not cut or divided. Rather it is connected and bound together by the cement of priests who cohere with one another." St. Cyprian of Carthage, "The Unity of the Catholic Church," c. 250 A.D.

I can completely relate with Candace. I also am an ex-Protestant who married a Catholic man and I ended up converting to Catholicism three weeks ago. I started researching Catholicism in order to understand my husband's faith better and what I found shocked me. I always thought that the early church was Protestant and then later in the 4th century it became apostate and turned into this ugly thing known as Catholicism but turns out it's the other way around! The Catholic church IS the early church, it's 2000 years old and the only church that goes back to the time of Christ. History tells us that there was one undivided church which split into the east and west (Orthodox breaking away from Catholiscm) and then 500 years ago was the reformation. So the Catholic church is not just another denomination in fact it's not a denomination at all because the Catholic church is that which all the other denominations split away from either directly or indirectly. It's the original church. Constatine didn't invent Catholicism he just made the Christian beliefs that they were already practicing legal. Over 300 Catholic bishops came to the council of Nicea who were ratified by the Pope in Rome, so how could Constatine have invited Catholicism when bishops and Popes already existed? Also if you look at the writings of the early church fathers (the early Christians from 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th century) they proclaim Catholicism not Protestantism. They all had Catholic beliefs and were writing about the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the veneration of Mary, honouring the Pope and Bishops, baptising infants, confessing your sins to the Priest and on and on.
former priest and what happened to him by this church you think so highly of th-cam.com/video/7k-jvWchaXE/w-d-xo.html
Did you read about how Catholics persecuted Christians for wanting to translate the bible into a language they understood, so they could keep lying to the general populace about traditions,etc? Or did you read the actual KJV bible that condemns much of the Catholics dogmas? Just curious.
I'm so happy you found your way home! It's beautiful to read conversion stories, especially from those we were anti-Catholic or who just completely misunderstood what the Catholic Church really teaches. It's sad that the sin of pride prevents many from taking their blinders off. You studied and found TRUTH. That's a beautiful thing! Candace and SO MANY OTHERS have done the same. I love it!!
Welcome home!
The early Chruch was mostly jewish and they didn't practice none of the customs done by the catholic church
Catholic here also. Love your podcast Brandon. I converted from Evangelist. There are a lot of misunderstanding about the Catholic faith, from thinking they don't believe in Jesus to worshiping Mary and Saints etc. The only difference between other Christians and Catholics who are also Christains is the Eucharist. My friends who are Evangelist and Protestants always critizing Catholics, but I find most Catholics don't critize or judge other religion, and that is what I love about Catholic. We are always open to discussion and not judgment.
I am a practicing Catholic, former Nun who has studied theology. Never have I heard that no one went to heaven till Martin Luther made it possible. I often hear people "try to explain" the Catholic Church to me and it does not come from a true understanding. Am I hook line and sinker in step with the Catholic Church? No. That comes mainly in areas of man made rules such as no meat on Friday, not allowing Priests to marry, etc. All the Protestant religions are offshoots of Catholicism.
The Pope is often misunderstood as the figure head of the Catholic Church. It is only when he speaks from the throne of St. Peter ex cathedra, that he speaks of dogma. He is not sanctioning gay marriage. He is encouraging us to be kind and accepting of people regardless of some of their choices that go against the Catholic faith. Pope John XXIII is the one who brought the Mass into the vernacular of the country. The altar was turned to face the people so we could be more involved in the service. Barriers of interaction among Protestants and Catholics were removed and we were beginning to come to some understanding our similarities rather than differences.
The Pope was installed to oversee the Church by Jesus Christ when he made St. Peter the first Pope. Not too long ago a man, who said he was a Lutheran, tried to tell me that Lutherans were not Protestants. (I am guessing he missed the whole Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation). He said there are Catholics, Protestants and Lutherans. This is what happens when you 'think' you know something but do not dig into the subject.
Another misconception is that we pray to Mary and the Saints as if they can change the outcome of our lives. Praying to Mary and Saints is asking people, who lead good lives in sync with the teachings of the Catholic faith, to provide guidance that we might do likewise. You don't pray to have some one help you find your glasses or to ask Jesus/God to forgive you or to win a sporting event. Sorry so wordy but it bothers me when there are terse put downs that come from lack of information.
Martin Luther did not consider himself a protestant. He wanted to reform the church. He didn't even leave on his own accord. He was still a Monk when he was excommunicated.
To be fair as a fellow Catholic, these "Man Made" rules have theological roots in scripture. Examples: No Meat while silly to some is just simply fasting. The old rule was no eating at all and over the years it has had slight modifications. This "Rule" doesn't hurt people it empowers us spiritually to abstain. Priest being barred from marriage is reference to Paul's letters. Paul speaks on the relationships between man and woman, in that he makes a distinction in what you and I know as vocations. The man focused on God shall not marry and the other vocation being the family man or whom God ordinates for Marriage. God Bless.
It's a Catholic Mass, not a service... ;-)
@kmoore2648... A rose is a rose is a rose. 🙄
@@dcarr-kr7hk stop being more ignorant than you need to be 😂
Exactly, there's a difference and this just proves non Catholics are ignorant to the teachings.
A service is RECEIVING, what one wants to get out of the music and preaching while a mass is giving/offering our week's prayers, works, joys and sufferings. Big difference! Protestant service is equivalent to a bible study in catholic terms, we receive the word of God which is a "service" in protestant term.
I think a lot of people don't understand Catholicism.
The pope is not called by God. The cardinals get together and choose a pope.
All churches have a person who is in charge. Just because they don't call
That person the pope, doesn't mean there isn't a hierarchy. Also, for the record, the pope is the bishop of Rome.
Where did the Bible come from? Catholic councils. Martin Luther took a few books out of the Bible because he didn't like what they said. If you read a Bible that contains the books Martin Luther took out, you'll
find things that the Protestants now say aren't in the Bible.
Catholics have the Eucharist. We eat Jesus'' flesh- just like He Instructed in the Bible- every Mass, we adore Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration, and Catholics that truly know their faith, have a strong relationship with Jesus.
Jesus died once, and do Communion in remembrance of me. Jesus doesn't come down and die every time in a wafer because that means He dies every time Communion happens. The bread and wine represents His body and blood in the sacrifice He made for us. Communion is done in remembrance of His death.
The Bible’s not the Bible if you take stuff out of it that’s just picking and choosing what you want to hear to make you feel better about yourself
@blackbutnotblue, you do you, leave the rest alone. Whatever you say about the pope, still the Catholic, bishops or whatever you say, IS NOT WHAT GOD WANTED. I DON'T NEED A PERSON READING WHATEVER HE CHOOSE THAT IS CONVENIENT TO READ TO THE MASSES. What I find DISGUSTING, is that the Catholic go down on their knees and cry and kiss his hand, kiss his robe, "POPE". Taking from the Glory of Jesus.
@@Dee-so3by "What I find DISGUSTING, is that the Catholic go down on their knees and cry and kiss his hand, kiss his robe, "POPE". Taking from the Glory of Jesus."
A lot of Christian denominations and other religions do that also. Their followers falling to their knees and crying when they meet the leader of their organizations. Even these nondenominational Christian churches, when the minister/pastor is a megastar, he has people crying when they meet him. Look at Joel Olsteen, Bishop TD Jakes, Rev Pat Robertson, and others. The Dalia Lama has his followers falling over and crying when they meet him. Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, the same. And Farrakhan has non-Muslims falling over and crying when they meet him. Is it worship or these people feel God is working through these leaders?
I was born and raised Catholic till I was like 19, then became an atheist till 35. Was agnostic for a bit, now consider myself a Taoist. While I was a Catholic, we never worshipped the Pope. The Pope was just the head of the Catholic Church. The Popes are just continuing the line from St. Peter the Apostle whom Jesus chose to lead the Church while he was gone. So let's say like this, God is the captain of the ship, the Pope would be the 1st officer (2nd in command).
The Bible came from God. The End.
Cradle Catholic….used to hearing folks saying “I hate Catholics.”
It’s ok, tons of people have always hated Jesus too.
I will still stay with the OG.
Any church started 1500 years or later after Jesus, Apostles, All those previous years of Christians, probably isn’t really doing much that those Christians did. And those Christians didn’t have a Bible. 🤷♀️
I don’t understand how anyone claiming to be a Bible-based Christian gets past the worship (veneration) of the Virgin Mary and the Saints. Not biblical and doesn’t line up with the Christianity I’ve grown in for 40 years since coming to a personal conversion relationship with Christ. I get that she is aligning with her husband and for raising the kids and that’s a good thing but I don’t see any way to get around dthe idolatry of Mary and the Saints. They are not gods and there is no validity in praying to them. Having said that, I was raised in the Orthodox Church (Catholicism x 10) AND I was introduced to Christ by a Charismatic Catholic so it’s not like I hate Catholics. Again tough, I can’t see subscribing to the whole Saints thing, or the confessions thing, or even calling a priest “Father” or knowing the Pope is considered holier than others, etc

I was raised mostly catholic because of my mom. Bounced between baptist and Protestant with my dad. I feel the most at home in Mass. I have struggled for years with the church itself and I am still working through.
There's a lot of good Catholic commentary out there these days. Scott Hahn, Trent Horn, Matt Fradd to name a few. But I found reading St Augustine's Confessions one of the more pivotal moments of bringing me back to the Church. Praying you find your way home. God is always seeking us.
Is there a specific concern you are dealing with?
I watched the pope answer questions from the audience once. A little boy got up and said my dad didn’t believe in Jesus when he died I’m worried that he’s not in heaven. The pope looked at him and said, ‘yes of course he’s there. He doesn’t need to believe in Jesus. He was good enough dad to you.’ He told the child Jesus doesn’t punish parents whose kids love them.
WHAT?!?!?!
What should he have said to the boy ? Secondly it isn't even far fetched that God is capable of saving the father of a believing son . Paul said as much about a believing spouse sanctify an unbelieving partner
I recently went to an Episcopal, Lutheran, & Catholic funerals. The prayers were almost exactly the same. G-d doesn't care what flavor you are. G-d cares WHO you are. Be all the good you can be. Period.
I appreciate what Officer Tatum has said. I wan born and raised Catholic. I spent most of my life lukewarm. The last decade I have immersed myself in the study and practice of Catholicism. True Catholicism, not the White House Brandon version of Catholicism, is the love of, and search of, all things true. Our Lord Jesus is objective Truth itself. There is no other religion which fosters a stronger relationship with its God than Catholicism. Catholics consume the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist. There can be nothing more intimate- period- not even sex between husband and wife. My fellow Christian brethren, I implore you to consider this and come home like Candace has. At the very least please ease up on the persecution. We are in this together. Embracing Christ and allowing Him to change hearts is our only hope for this rotten world. Politics has failed miserably throughout history and only has made the situation worse. God Bless you all and yes, may the prayers of Our Lady, the angels and saints be with you all to bring us closer to Christ.
Amen 🙏
And Amen!
Your Pope is blessing same sex unions. That's against God's word. So, how can you support a faith that goes against God's word? Truth? How's that truth??)))
Thank you. This is how it is, but I cam never explain it so eloquently.
I was raised Catholic in Ireland. I fell away from the church as a teen.
Only last summer I returned, and I'm genuinely a new person. I don't even remember how I used to think about things.
And I love Jesus so much I just cry when I think of Him.
There is plenty of Evil everywhere, even in the Catholic Church, but we know that. We fight that evil too.
But the beautiful guidance I get from some of our Priests and Bishops, its hard to put into words
I wish people would let go of the evil spirit that causes them to hate and judge us. Please lift the veil 🙏❤
@markmiersma5045 No he's not. I know prots would love to believe that...but it is simply not true.
Read what he says.
And even if the Pope did say that, it does NOT follow our doctrin, and I for one would just go to the TLM.
But, he didn't say that. As opposed to the crazy land of Prodestantism and what they advocate for. Trans priests??

Hi Officer Tatum. I promise you the Bible and Jesus Christ is found in the Catholic Church. I have a close relationship with Jesus Christ as a Catholic, in fact I converted from Protestantism and my relationship with Him has only grown.
Thanks for the video!
How is anything involved in Catholicism necessary for John 3:16 to be true ?
I do have a question. Idk enough about the catholic faith so this may not all be true. I do want to say that if you love & accept Jesus Christ into your heart, then that’s the answer! However, I don’t understand the prayers to saints & to Virgin Mary. One of the Ten Commandments is to not make idols.. and 1 Timothy says there is one god and ONE mediator between God & men which is Jesus Christ. I hope to make clear I ask this out of respect. I hope to understand - thank you.
That's 1 verse out of the whole Bible. You can't cherry pick. I'm not Catholic BUT there are a lot of teachings within the Catholic Church that have a biblical foundation.
@@chloeclingerman9883 thanks for the questions. We don’t worship the saints or Mary as idols. Yes Jesus is the mediator. We ask for prayers from the saints and Mary as if I would as any fellow Christian for prayer here on Earth. When we die as a Christian, we live with Christ in Heaven…so it’s not death. That’s why the Apostles and Martyrs are happy to die for Christ, because they go to new life. I’d like someone in Heaven praying for me…they’re as close to Jesus as it gets.
I hate to see Jesus Still hanging on the cross because he is Alive because he saved me. I listen to the Holy Spirit daily.
I have never met a single Catholic that studied the faith and the Bible who left the faith for another Christian church. It was always those who did not study their faith nor read the Bible that left for a variety of reasons such as a charismatic minister, or good music, etc etc etc. But I know hundreds of Christians who looked past the ignorant assumptions of Catholicism who studied it and left their faith for Catholicism. The Catholic Church encourages their parishioners to study the Bible along with the traditions and writings of early church Fathers. Sola Scriptura was established as an edict so that you Protestants will not study the early history of the Catholic faith that Jesus set up in the 300 years before the first complete Bible (with New Testament). You also will not ask certain questions like why is the Catholic Bible longer than ours? What do you mean we do not study the same Bible Jesus studied? We (Protestants) removed seven books from the Old Testament during the reformation in the 1500’s? Why? What was in these books that you didn’t want me to read? Tobit, Judith, Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Baruch, and Sirach
As believers in christ we all need to unite. To fight the battle against the culture and bring it closer to Jesus.
I'm Catholic but don't get it twisted, I do not support our current Pope.
Same
To Tatum’s point. I know it’s hard to accept certain Catholic beliefs when it’s not properly taught or understood. For me as a Black American Catholic, I can understand why other Black Christians in America question Catholicism and big part of that has to do with race wars, race percentages and American History. We are a small percentage in America but that’s because we are outnumbered as minorities in the United Sates and on top of that, we are the SECOND largest minority race in America after Hispanics whom are the highest percentage of Catholics as the highest minorities in America. For example, in Africa, Catholicism is by large a HUGE percentage but that’s because in the continent of Africa it’s primarily Black Africans lol so all based on region, continent, and country. In addition, Catholicism has grown dramatically in African within these past few years with hundreds of conversions.
Furthermore, in terms of the Ashes, Confessionals, Hail Mary’s, and Catholic rituals are actually all biblical lol it just depends on interpretations and which Holy Bible is being used because the Bible has been revised several times within these past few centuries. However, if you read and collect ancient Holy Scriptures in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English bibles (Douey Reims) that are the closest translation to these three sacred languages, you will see that many Catholic practices are biblical from traditional customs from the Old and New Testament. In Catholicism, there are three principles: Holy Scripture, Tradition, and Magisterium.
One last thing that I would add is I believe that when Candace started attending Holy Mass with her husband and children, the big part that’s changed her mind is the Traditional Latin Masses. Candace was not exposed to the weird and revised form of New Masses after Vatican II. On the contrary, she has been exposed to the ancient Holy Latin Mass celebrations that have been celebrated for over 1,500 years and to be a part of that history will change you spiritually and draw you closer to JESUS CHRIST through Holy Communion receiving Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Amen! 🙏🏾
Welcome home Candace Owens!!! 🙏🏾✝️Viva Cristo Rey!!
Africa will save the Church!! Viva Cristo Rey !!!
As a former Catholic I'm shocked she left a relationship with Christ to follow a man's religion.
you clearly make no sense.. you said a former catholic but 100% guarantee you knew nothing about the Catholic faith and you did not practice it. because as a Catholic myself, i have such a deep deep relationship with Jesus. I experience him every day in the bible, in prayer in the Eucharist making holy hours during adoration, I experience him through the priests I experience him through the living in the Holy Spirit, I experience him during praise and worship and most in the Mass. I hear him, I feel him and know him and he knows me. so for you to say to follow a man's religion clearly shows you have no knowledge of the Catholic Church and Christian history.
She needs to broaden her horizons on what the Protestant belief is on this.
I've never once heard that Martin Luther said no one was saved until protestants.
How could that be? No all Christians went to hell because they didnt have the bible until the printing press was invented and of course henry the 8th came to save us while he is chopping off the heads of his numerous wives. A real saint to emulate. For those in public school that means to follow.
good point. Catholics are true Christians, they practice a lot of idolatry, though that will not bless your life and can in fact curse it
Neither have I and I have several Catholic friends. Not an expert in theology or every religion out there but She lost me on that point.
I agree 100%. Makes no sense whatsoever.
I’m Lutheran and never heard of this
I love how people know catholic when they never invest in knowing the FAITH
Why invest in something that you know is false. I was Catholic and all my life I questioned it. I went along with it for bad reasons, honoring my parents, i was a younger sibling. I also bought into the idea that all denominations that claimed to be Christian, are Christian just because you claim theology of the trinity and say you believe is Jesus. Which i now know is false. It wasn't until 4 years ago that the Holy Spirit led a man to talk to me about faith alone vs works based salvation. The Catholic religion relies on their works in order to obtain salvation whereas the Bible says that it's by faith alone and that salvation is free gift. I guarantee you I'm not the only former Catholic on here commenting.
@@johnj8144 First, faith alone is not found in the bible. Second, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead (James 2:17-26). Even the demons believe in God-and shudder.

Christian here! 🙋♀I think it's beautiful she's allowing her husband to lead the household and creating unity in her family by not fighting over the details, but as far as her husband's question... as a Christian I do not believe that those who calls themselves "Christians" are the only ones who will go to heaven. To make that argument your husband is using that assumption that we all believe that which is not the case.
In fact, I believe anyone who sincerely believes in God and Jesus and follows his commands will go to heaven (even those who don't necessarily know the word). And it's a very personal walk with God and up to him. I don't assume to condemn or vindicate anyone because I'm not God. He is sovereign.
In fact it says in the New Testament that there are people who although they don't explicitly know God's word it is evidenced by their obedience to it that they have him and his laws written on their hearts (such as those who were alive before the New Testament that followed God before Jesus) . I think the problem is no one reads the Bible anymore and doesn't know these things.
Here is the scripture which talks explicitly about this. Which is why whether she is Christian or Catholic, Candace is going to heaven and so is anyone who obeys God's laws and has him written on their hearts. ..
"Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right....
And if the Gentiles obey God’s law, won’t God declare them to be his own people?....
And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit.
I encourage you to read the whole chapter. It's Romans 2
I was born and raised Catholic. I am grateful that they were there for my mom in the Bible studies around when I was 16. I can't speak to what drew her. My parents sent us to church every Sunday (they stayed at home, in bed, asleep). I had the rituals down pat but had no real relationship with God or Jesus. Up to that point my parents partied and drank 4-6 nights a week and smoked like chimneys every day. I don't know how it happened but overnight my mom left ALL of this. Needless to say my siblings and I had no idea what was going on. My dad followed her to God soon after. They thought the kids would be right behind them...did not happen like that at all. For the older ones the damage was done and we ran as fast as we could from God. It took years but one by one we each came over. The younger ones grew up in church. My parents moved to a Pentecostal church after a few years after accepting Christ. Later, I moved to a non denominational Christian church where I raised my children. But again I will forever be grateful for the Catholic church fellow believers being there. I can't imagine my life without God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and glad I don't have to!
Catholic revert here, baptizing my sons this year in the Catholic Church founded by our Lord Jesus Christ
❤ Jesus is king ❤🙏🏼
Candace did her homework and researched, she found the truth. Good for her 👍🏼
Welcome Home!
Any religion who says they are the truth is a false religion. Christianity is for every single person that believes that Jesus went to the cross, died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day 1st Corinthians 15:1-4. Being a Catholic does not make you a Christian neither walking into McDonald’s make you a hamburger. It is a relationship with Jesus, the one and true God 👏Catholicism has a lot of false teaching such as praying to the saints and Mary. The Bible makes it very clear, there should be no other gods before Him. You do not need to pray to the Saints or to Mary as they can’t hear you. Read first Timothy 2:5 There is one God and one mediator between God and man that man is Christ Jesus.!!!☦️

@kym6896 how do you know? Who made you an authority?
Where is it a Protestant teaching that no one ‘went to heaven’ before Luther?
What is this? People who know nothing about their religion or really practice it are commenting on this site. People should mind their business as to who is practicing what.
good. then it shouldn't matter to you whether or not someone is Catholic.
I think the idea this: Protestant Reformation began in 1517 with Martin Luther. Before then, other than the orthodox and catholic church there weren't really any other meaningful denominations around. So, if these churches were "heretical" and not preaching the true gospel then up until then it is conceivable that no one was saved if what protestants are saying is true.
Because no Christian believed what protestants believed prior to Luther. No one believed the sola fide(saved by faith alone) prior to protestants. it doesn't exist.
I was confused by that question from Candace’s husband. Is he saying that Protestants believe no one went to heaven before Protestant broke off from Catholicism? I didn’t know that anyone believed that. I certainly don’t.
Perfectly said. I have issues with Catholicism, but so long as Candace has accepted Jesus and abides by Him as our Lord and Savior, I see no issue!
As a Catholic, thanks for setting us all strait Tatum. I appreciate your openness to keeping people find Jesus in the Catholic Church. ❤
I'm Catholic. That's great Candace is Catholic now. I don't have anything against someone else that's not Catholic. Plus no one here can judge me. Only GOD can judge me.
Oh, since only "god" can judge you it must not be The God of The Bible because He says "Don't you know that you will even judge angels?" The "even" in that sentence refers to other human beings. So would you mind asking Him to take that out of there if He is indeed the "god" you serve? It's confusing the rest of us... What a secular worldly thing to say, "Only GOD can judge me." You wish... He is merciful I understand you wanting to be judged only by Him but He allows His Chosen Ones to do that job as well. Being Catholic or ANY religion doesn't save you, but since you're in that "church" could you explain to me why NONE of the papacy seem to repent or be held accountable for so many of their leaders molesting children? Do you know what happens to the ones who've already been exposed? Yeah, you should look into that instead of just being a pew warmer in "church". They move the "bad ones" around to different "churches" so they can continue hurting kids. All that being said, are you on watch making sure all the kids are safe in your 'church'? Prolly not... Too much being exposed for me to ride the pedo train. Catholic Church = mother cult - ALL other protestant denominations = her babies just sayin... You want proof? Is there a pedophile epidemic in protestant churches? I know so... If that's the case where is it coming from? Momma cult "church" perhaps... Time to wake up and leave them all. Don't stay hopeful like they're going to be cleaned. They're not and if you're caught attached to these places when The Messiah comes back you will be counted among the godless no matter what. So... there's that... Think and pray about all this... If you dare...

And He will judge you because you have accepted a different gospel than the one Paul preached (Galatians 1:8-9).
The Word of God judged catholicism as a heresy. But people refuse to admit it.
NO, we can too! Christ said to judge rightly; with righteous judgement, not just by outward appearances (John 7:24).
We make judgments everyday. Don't know where this line of thinking came from.
Reading these comments makes me realize that many do not understand the Catholic faith. They understand their own interpretation and biases that were espoused to them. Mostly hate. I think it says something when atheists and protestants hate your faith. But, I'd rather be on the side of the Church established by Christ rather than the world's.
The Lord Jesus Christ did not establish the Roman Catholic Church.
I don't care about what anyone believes because they will have to stand before the Lord Jesus Christ in judgment.

Reading your comments makes me sad that you have presumptuous opinions and judgments about people’s views on Catholics. You seem to forget Jesus was first and foremost Jewish. That’s his identity. Secondly, he hated religion and always felt it was man made religion to oppress the people. Why do you think he went against the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the Romans!? Because religion is man made law. Not God’s Law. And the Old Testament is basically the Torah. Religion is what led him to be crucified through the betrayal of Judas Iscariot. I was born raised Catholic. I woke up 5 years ago and eyes opened. I left Catholicism and converted to Bible based Christian. Boy what a game changer! It’s you the one who do not understand and you are part of the problem. You can choose Catholicism you practice that’s your choice but don’t make false claims in saying people don’t understand. Most of us do but the difference is, we know the difference and we’re not stupid. Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus endorse Catholicism nor never was one. He was Jewish and died as the King of Jews written by Pontus Pilate. End of the story.

You changed yo bc of the faith of your spouse. I am sorry for the vitriol but the catholic folklore is condemned by the Word of God. It is not the Bible. Sorry for the people but God is God. And He does not play with His Word.
@@christellen3077 Protestants gutted the Bible that Catholics gave them like a fish. Martin Luther removed 7 books. You read a massacred Bible.
I know how you feel. I was protestant as well before finding my way home. We get a lot of hate but we were warned by Christ. They hated him before they hated us. In my eyes protestantism allows too much of the world to influence all the denominations. All day different things then how can you know who is right? Well, Christ left us something to help guides us. We should follow it.
Is Catholicism exempt from criticism? Is the Catholic church Authoritarian?
Explain what the purpose of Jesus Christ coming to earth was?
@@Taveronvu Okay so you're not off to a great start, ripping a verse completely out of context to try to make a case. But ignoring that, the Pharisees that Jesus condemned that loved tradition and law and thought that would save them... in Christianity, those are the Catholics. Not exclusively the Catholics, but by definition it is a religion full of tradition and law that has no biblical basis... just like the Pharisees' laws. Protestantism can often be this way too just by people focusing on traditionalism over a relationship. Actually, now that I think of it, Christianity is pretty much dead in America. Catholic or Protestant... the church is a world away from where it should be. So never mind... carry on.
Protestantism is watered down and filtered version of the ORIGINAL FAITH/PRACTICES/RITUALS, which has been and still is practiced in the Orthodox Christianity.....which the Catholic Church splintered from .... and this filtering and watering down is why people do not understand the Icons, the sign of the Cross, the Eucharist, the thurible, the confession (kneeling before a priest and he covering you) and so many other things.... WE CHRISTIANS in the West are IGNORANT of our Christian Religion's History...... and that is why there is so much division (as spoken by to warn the Church), we have strayed and are far gone from the ORIGINS...
Guess what ladies and gents if you live in America you have the freedom to join any religion you want and that includes Candice Owens!!!!!
