      It doesn’t matter if you are Protestant, you also need to know the truth you’re looking for. You are Christian which means you’re potentially Catholic.

    Thumbs up from Great Britain - you're off to a fantastic start. Short, high quality Orthodox videos is something TH-cam's been lacking.

      There are some great long-form lectures on TH-cam, and they might get referenced for people wanting deeper research, but we'll be making these bite-size videos weekly. Short and simple. Thanks for subscribing!

    Let's not forget that New Testament as it is today was formulated by him. There were other listings from other bishops which sometimes included the unrecognized books (Gospel of Nicodemus, Gospel of Thomas etc), but as the NT is ordered now (The Four Gospels, followed by Acts, and the Epistles) was done by St. Athanasius.
    Even MORE of a Christian hero than stated here. Seriously, his contribution to the faith cannot be understated.

    Excellent video! Concise, clear easy to understand. I’d love to hear from you about all the Church Fathers, who were their mentors were, who are they disciple of, their work and legacy. They are the ones that knew how to defend our Lords’ teaching out of love for Him and his Church. Thank you for sharing your input with us. We all need to be informed and formed about our Catholic Faith and his valuable members who are the ones who sustains the Church. We need to value the treasure of our beloved Catholic Church. Once we know her better, we’ll love her and serve her better as these heroes and saints did. 🙏♥️🙏
