Because you don’t want it? There are more African women becoming Catholic than any other group of people in the world: the Catholic Church’s fastest growth is in Africa. Stop whatever ideology and indoctrination you’ve been fed with to refuse truth, sister. God bless you from Brazil.
I was raised Protestant, but I always found it confusing because of the differences between denominations. When it comes to choosing between Orthodoxy, Catholicism, or Protestantism, the legitimacy of the papacy is the deciding factor for me. If the papacy is legitimate, then Catholicism is true; if not, then Orthodoxy is the default option over Protestantism.
Thanks for your patience with which you explain and expose your views. It is very thoughtful how you show all of our religious origins. It is important for our new generations who are very often confused. Thanks for your evangelization. Any chance that you will assist to the National Eucaristic pilgrimage?
I want to express my deep admiration for your great gift of analysing and explaining this highly complex matter of theology! I'm not even sure if you have at all a degree in theology, if not I recommend you thinking about it. I see a huge talent here! Thank you for this excellent video🙏 Praise be the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth and His holy Catholic Church 🔥🙏🔥
Awful argument "Which orthodoxy ". Which Catholicism? The one that venerates gregory palamas or considers it a heretic like how pope boniface infallibly proclaimed in unam sanctam
You went Catholic because you are smarter and braver than the average person. It takes courage and wisdom to barrel full on toward truth, cus truth is harsh and difficult. If you don't have the heart you won't want it. Easier to set up camp in a halfway house then to go there.
I mean studying the Bible and history has led me biblical Christianity and it isn't Protestantism it's Orthodoxy. [I do have love and respect for Roman Catholics] (Protestants have been protesting the word of God since Martin Luther) ☦️☦️☦️
@@AnonymousMan115 it's always good to study both sides, but remember to follow Bible basics, Anonymous. do you believe God's Ten Commandments are now optional, Sir? These are what rescued me from catholicism after 35 yrs.
oh no, our fav toxic ex-catholic SDA whose faith tradition who constantly breaks the commandment of Thou shall not kill: having their hospitals conduct abortions on a for-profit basis.
@@tabandken8562 did i leave 'Truth', friend? see Psalm 119:142, 151 -- then compare with Ex 20:4-6 and 8-11 -- catholicism doesn't abide by God's Truths.
SALUDOS EN JESUCRISTO Y EN MARIAS SANTISIMA. ME LLENA DE ALEGRIA ENCONTRAR VIDEOS QUE AYUDAN Y FAVORECEN REAFIRMAR LA FE CATOLICA CONOCIENDO SUS RAICES JUDIAS Y EVANGELIZAR CON MAYOR PRECISION EN LAS REALIDADES ACTUALES. LE SUGIERO HACER ESTOS MISMOS VIDEOS EN ESPAÑOL PARA LA COMUNIDAD HISPANA Y DE PARA LAICOS COMPROMETIDOS Y AGENTES DE PASTORAL, PUEDAN DAR MEJORES REFLEXIONES CATOLICAS CONSIDERANDO DE SUMA IMPORTANCIA LA RAIZ JUDIA DE LOS TEXTOS BIBLICOS. SOY CATOLICO Y MISIONERO. GRACIAS DANIEL POR TUS REFLEXIONES EXACTAS PARA LA MISION QUE TODOS TENEMOS POR EL BAUTISMO. BENDICIONES EN TUS PROYECTOS Y MI ORACION.
+YHM! Daniel, you made a beautiful statement about your conviction about choosing to be a member of the Roman Catholic Church. I also have Jewish roots (Sephardic branch), but I want to tell you that I belong to an Eastern Rite Catholic Church, as a servant of the LORD at His altar, with many martyrs, who refused to give up their Christian communion with Rome. If you want, you can watch a recent liturgical celebration from the Byzantine Catholic Church. Thus, you will discover another brother, also with Jewish roots, participating in the liturgical celebration and wearing his Jewish tallit, both at the reading of the gospel and at the reception of the Holy Eucharist (time interval, 1.17.00-1.18.00 of the player) and the anointing with the blessed consecrated oil during the vesper-Lithia (time interval 1.43.00-1.44.00), respectively the thanksgiving that he does after the end of the Holy Liturgy (time interval 1.49.00-1.50.00), within the Greek Catholic Parish , Saint John Chrysostom, Seattle Washington. Search on RU-vid for the title "Divine Liturgy for the Sunday of the Holy Fathers of the First Council of Nicea, May 12, 2024" and you will see the moments mentioned. Personally, I am trying an exercise of imagination, wanting it to happen as soon as possible, with our fellow Jews, participating in the Holy Liturgy, wearing their biblical identity signs, like the brother in the liturgical recording that excited me a lot, and gathered to celebrate the Eucharist, if you want, by all receiving the same Brother-Saviour, in their being. Christ in our midst!
@@kianoghuz1033It's both. The early Church taught nobody is to disagree with Rome. Rome has the key. The pope will answer to God more strictly than we will.
Blessed Feast of St. John! No, I'm not waiting thirteen more days ... I never actually was Palaeohimerite, though I leaned somewhat that way in sympathies, but I'm a revert ... Would you agree that John 13:1 _"Before the festival day of the pasch,"_ means "the evening before" ... and that it was a real Seder? Part of the schism of 1054, actually, since Caerularius took John 19:14 as meaning God was crucified the day when Chametz was being thrown out.
I thought about orthodox Christianity also. I even visited Nikorai-do in Tokyo twice and talked to a priest. Pope John Paul II was the good example who won my heart.
In summary, the Jewish community of Tokyo and the priests at the Franciscan chapel center in Tokyo and the brothers who ran St Mary's international school in Tokyo were good examples to me. I thank them for leading me to the Catholic Church.
Love how you show the Jewish roots of our Catholic faith! If you look into scripture, history and Jewish culture, the papacy structure is exactly what first century Christians would’ve expected to see. The orthodox view of “first among equals” would’ve been so foreign to first century Jews and is in fact a much later retcon of history. Even the high priest in Judaism had certain authority and prerogatives the other priests didn’t have. God bless our orthodox brethren, and may they arrive home soon! 🙏
The Orthodox churches you mentioned are part of the Eastern Orthodox churches. There are two families of Orthodoxy, the Eastern Orthodox and the Oriental Orthodox and the splits you mentioned between Moscow and Constantinople are Eastern. And also both families acknowledge Rome as an Apostolic church too and St Peter was a bishop for that church, nothing more and nothing less. Rome is a brother among equals and still in heresy over adding years Filioque and the ideas of purgatory.
Hi Daniel. My name is Thomas. I have been trying to reach you for a while via email and Instagram, about the possibility of you being on another Catholic podcast that focuses on Latin Catholic to Jewish and Eastern Christian relations. (:
Jesus knew how to do things at the right time. The time Jesus have the keys of the kingdom of God was well chosen. He asked a question and Peter was given the inspiration to speak out the right answer, thereby making it possible for Jesus to bless Peter with the keys of the kingdom of heaven in front of the other disciples. This incident showed Jesus choosing Peter as his deputy. Jesus blessed Peter and gave him the authority to bind and to loose. Hence the primacy of the papacy is legitimate. You have injection against purgatory. I hope you believe that we must be sanctified/ cleansed of all impurities before we enter heaven. So we do believers undergo final purification / sanctification? Is it at born again event or at the moment of death or after death? Purgatory deals with this issue. You also have issues with the sale of indulgence. This selling thing has been stopped, thanks to Martin Luther. But the teaching on indulgence is still taught. If you can substantiate that the teaching on indulgence is evil, immoral, and contrary to other scripture, then you can make a very good argument to debunk it. Make a fair criticism and many people will be grateful to you.
Really love yor content, would be great to have it in spanish, latin america is hungry about this and other related catholic topics. God bless you bro!!!
We can ask him to enable spanish subtitles on the video. I'm not sure if he reads these comments, or how complex this process is to do with video YT creator
Also like to add, what happened to fasting in the Catholic Church is almost non existent. Yet Christ teaches fasting and prayer are some of our strongest tools.
The Church went from ordering like it was law, to leaving that to us. The Church assigns the bare minimum. We should know that we are to exceed the minimum.
I really like your videos, but I still have to disagree. Rome has added to many additions to the church. Papal supremacy was never a thing, only Papal primacy. And then you have the addition purgatory. Indulgences in the form of money basically paying your way out of hell. The rock is peters confession, and Christ also gave the other disciples the ability to bind and loose. And you speak of unity, but how do you have unity when the church as a whole teaches certain things but allow bends to the rule? For example you have Eastern Catholics who have priest who are allowed to marry yet Catholicism teaches priest should remain un married. You also have Catholics who reject Vatican 2 but are still in communion. St Gregory Palamas a pillar of Orthodoxy is venerated in Catholicism. Not to mention the Catholics recognizing the Orthodox sacraments as valid, so why have a Pope? Small excommunications have always happened throughout church history it will be resolved as it always is. The Orthodox Church is more unified than the Catholic Church, we all believe the same. The additions aren’t there, the Catholic a church is headed down a really dark road, the pope is very questionable. Having 1 man making the final decision instead of having multiple come together guided by the Holy Spirit just isn’t good. Christ is the head of the church. Not a patriarch who teaches error.
@@waseemhermiz7565 Name calling is a resort people take when they’ve already lost. It’s a shame you have to do that. Do you and I both a favor, before commenting make sure your ducks are in a row. And learn how to reply to someone without trying to belittle them; that’s not the Christian thing to do.
The apostles have power to bind or loose but never given the keys of heaven. The apostles have power to bind or loose but with that logic they can bind or loose within themselves like Modern day orthodoxy with Constantinople and Moscow. Peter is given the keys meaning he has the authority to let anyone into the church and anyone to get out. The other apostles have authority to excommunicate anyone else who is under heresy why they have the power to bind or loose but remember never are they given the same kind of power to have the keys of heaven that peter is given. Everything else you just mentioned is pastoral decision nothing about doctrine. orthodox believe in something similar to purgatory but you guys cant really discuse about it considering your last valid council(if you dont count council of Florence) was 787ad second council of Nicaea. Indulgence are orthodox as well and is more the liberals have distorted what indulgences are if you want to know read the catechism. Your statement about orthodox church unified is a horrible statement from what i just stated when there last council was 1300 years ago.
Orthodoxy does not negate the conciliar primacy of Rome, but contests the addition of Filioque. If Filioque is uderstood as THROUGH THE SON, then it can be acceptable for almost all orthodox.
sorry friend, modern christian orthodoxy deny the primacy of Rome as the supreme leader and the Rock upon Christ establishes His Church. They deny the papal doctrines that makes us catholics.
Love how you integrate your personal experience with apologetics, sacred scriptures & catechisis. Powerful. Much appreciated, brother Daniel. May God almighty bless you & your family abundantly. Always looking forward to your vids. Please keep them coming
I’m coming from a mixed Jewish/protestant background but have felt that this is no longer the path I should be on. I have explored Messianic communities in the States and in Israel and really fell in love with the way the congregations in Jerusalem held themselves. On the flip side, I have not found anything similar to that here. My roommate is orthodox Christian and my best friend has recently begun the conversion process to Catholicism. We have had many discussions on the matter but I think that there are a few roadblocks that really inhibit me from being able to reach further into the idea of becoming Catholic that maybe you can give some feedback on: 1) I recognize the idea of the church in Rome as being the head of the Catholic Church. I was taught that the Pope’s of the past ordered Jews to be killed and that they helped the Nazis. I recognize this may be an exaggeration, but it does make it difficult when I consider the possibility of Catholicism. 2) My friends have explained to me how the iconic images of Mary and the saints are not idols. I see and respect their reasoning, but I still can’t see how it’s not. I saw your video on the communion and how that is not idolatry and I get that, but my friends will ask these saints to talk to God on their behalf. I have seen other more religious Jews do the same thing with the rabbis of old. Both of these examples seem to contradict the Torah. I thought we were supposed to pray to God alone. What are your thoughts on this? I would say the is the biggest hurtle I’ve had with approaching Catholicism. I can just hear my father’s voice in my head saying “this is why God sent us to Babylon”. 3) Being Jewish there are many cultural and religious aspects that are mentioned in Torah for us to adhere to. Do you think it is acceptable to continue things such as wearing a kipa, maintaining kosher, etc? Does this cause issues with you and others in the church? I had this problem in the past where others thought I was going against the Bible for doing these things. 4) I guess to bounce off the last point, which aspects of Torah do you keep concerning these customs? Some messianic emphasize it heavily while others are more lax. 5) This may be a trivial thing but how do you mix Pesach and Easter? They are on different days so which do you commemorate the resurrection if it happened on Pesach but the Catholic Church has its own date and time for it? How do you do Shabbat? 6) My last point may be a little blunt but there are not a lot of Jewish people going to the Catholic Church; whereas, the Messianic congregations in Israel are growing. It doesn’t seem, on the outside anyway, that the Catholic Church is really doing a lot to remind our people of who Yeshua is. Why is there such a contrast? In the past, ignorant as this mentality was, I just thought the Catholic Church hated Jews and that’s why they aren’t coming. I know that wasn’t the best mentality but I am still curious as to why it seems that way. I apologize for the length of this post and the density of the material in it. There are just not many people who I can approach in your position who can give me this feedback. In fact you are the only Jewish person who is Catholic that I have ever heard of. I quite frankly didn’t think it was a thing. Another reason that has given me pause with the idea of pursuing being Catholic.
As a Anglican i'd be happy if Catholicism and Anglicanism re-inter in communion and resolve issues for Anglicanism is Via-Media. It's similar to midpoint between Catholics and general Protestants. Because im a monarchist but i do respect the seat of Saint Peter. The Protestant reformation was necessary but i think Catholicism resolved their issues. There's reasons I'm Anglicanism, it's a umbrella denomination for the more reformed Protestant members and structures and more catholic (lowercase not denominational but universal C) Episcopal bishopric structure. It'd be great if Anglicanism becomes a English rite of Catholicism instead of Latin (roman) rite. Like the Chaldean, Maronite, Armenian, Byzantine and Alexandrian rites of Catholicism. Since im not compromising of my beliefs since there's biblical reasons of being a monarchist im still interested in Anglican integrity. But i love Catholicism and this video and would love my denomination and your denomination to have ecumenical resolutions for reconciliation. Also institutional Christ unity is greater for the kingdom of God to show unity in the kingdom of God, Than if i were to just be a individual convert to Catholicism. So I'll stay Anglican but happily read Catholic sources and respect Catholic doctrines on most things agreeable.
I know that there are Anglican groups that have already joined in communion with the Catholic Church and they has a quasi-rite. I know there is a sizable group in Texas, USA. That’s about as much as I know im that regard but I pray for unity.
@@TheJewishCatholic it's better for ecumenical unity in reconciliation than merely individual conversion. I love Anglicanism and Catholicism. I won't leave my community for Catholicism but I believe it's better for the institutions to call for Christ and the collective. Than the individual confession of the Christian faith. Because I'll say it. The protestant reformation was necessarily for its century. But the Catholic Church has reformed enough to satisfy the reformation. The Anglican reformation can end now and be apart of Catholicism as a rite. God has kings appointed but he also appointed Saint Peter so the papacy is a position I respect. I'm for ecumenical reconciliation amen
If the new temple of Solomon is built. I hope God willing becomes a Christian Church 🙏🏻 No temple but the great church to replace the Solomonic temple.
Is there a talmud app i can read page by page? I want to read it because i read that a Jewish catholic monk attempted to use the talmud in Spain to prophesy Christ and want to investigate if the talmud unknowingly did predict Christ without realizing Christ's glory, While idiotically simultaneously claiming Christ is a false prophet when infact he's their Messiah.
6:53 To assume that protestants feel triggered to the thought of an “overarching authority”, like a Bishop or Pope, is just not right. My question to you is…why do Catholics feel the need to have a human authority when God is the one and only true authority? Do most Catholics feel as though being disciplined by God isn’t enough so they rely on a human authority? An authority of this world at best. And to know that we’ve been blessed with the Holy Spirit as well. Humans are unreliable and God is always reliable. Why should we feel the need to have other people when Jesus said it himself that he is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). I’m genuinely asking this and up for a debate.
The hierarchy of the Church recognizes God as the supreme, infallible authority. We believe that God manifests His authority in a real way via the trifecta of Sacred Writ, Sacred Tradition and a Living Authority (we call that the Magisterium). It’s not a new standard. It’s been like that since the times of Moses.
@@TheJewishCatholic I understand the Catholic church has established the standard of magisterium. But, once again, why is there a need to have someone (like a Pope or Bishop) to interpret the word of God? Have we not been given the Holy Spirit and God’s ability to speak to us? What is the difference between a “high authority’s” interpretation and a “normal believer’s” interpretation?
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED.
