Many of the reasons they leave the Church have more to do with them not knowing enough about their faith or lacking spiritual strength.
We are here to help with both of these issues.
Our mission is to educate and inspire Catholics to defend and live out their faith and grow closer to God.
It is also our mission to lead non-Catholics into conversion to the Catholic faith.

Yes, verse 29 is very clear.. Douay Rheims 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. 30 Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep "Born again believers" use bibles that change alot of things to go against Catholicism.. verse 29 is a good example of that.
@@fourthworldcomics2836 Catholicism doesn't need help for people to go against it. The religion is how can you I get myself to heaven. Where does it say to confess your sins to a priest so he can forgive your sins??
@zs2354 Yes.. and ho do you "honor" God's body?? By consuming it in a worthy manner.. how do you do that? By confessing your sins.. In Exodus, we see when Aaron and the Levitical Priests had to do atone and offer up sacrifices for the ppl. In Hebrews 5, we see the same.. For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins: 2 Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity. 3 And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 4 Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was. So a priest have to offer up sacrifices on your behalf to God. It was like that in the Old Testament, and it remains that way till this day.. Now, in those times ppl openly confessed their sins to the priest and bishops.. the issue derived when ppl started to blackmail other ppl their sins they confessed.. so the Church changed "confessing sin" to be more private for the sake of the ppl... It's amazes me always how ppl who claim to be "Catholic" do not know anything about the religion... what makes it crazier is that was atheist and here I'm am educating a "born again" Christian.
The word “Church” in the context of “upon this rock I will build my Church” refers to the worldwide body of believers, and not any specific denomination. That having been said, I agree that we need a local church fellowship, but it doesn’t have to be Catholic. Any local church fellowship that preaches the Word is good.
You have the holy Catholic Church. You have 48,000 man made protestant CULTS. The holy Catholic Church which is the ONLY CHURCH is built on the Rock of Peter and can never be destroyed meaning it can never commit heresy because Jesus promised to always protect his mystical body on earth his holy Catholic Church. What your doing is putting your own false interpretation on sacred scripture which is blasphemy! One is obedience to Rome or one is damned
At the Council of Trent, the Roman Catholic Church literally declared the Gospel that JESUS AND THE APOSTLES preached..... an anathema. (#1-something or someone that one vehemently dislikes. #2--a formal curse by a pope or a council of the Church, excommunicating a person or denouncing a doctrine. In Session 6. Canons XXIV, IX, XII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXVII, XXIX, XXX, and XXII. I urge everyone to look these up. (Note: The declarations and anathemas of the Council of Trent have never been revoked. The decrees of the Council of Trent are confirmed by both the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and the official “Catechism of the Catholic Church” (1992).) THAT leaves OUT any mention of Matt 16:18!!!! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ---At the Council of Trent, the Roman Catholic Church literally declared the Gospel that JESUS AND THE APOSTLES preached..... an anathema.

That alone means the Catholic church REJECTS the doctrine that Peter was the first Pope--Peter was the leader of the Church, Peter was given the Title of LEADER/Pope!!! Etc. (1545 to 1563 Council of Trent, 19th ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church, held in three parts from 1545 to 1563. Prompted by the Reformation, the Council of Trent responded emphatically to the issues at hand and enacted the formal Roman Catholic reply to the doctrinal challenges of the Protestants.) Which means NOT one word of Matthew 16 is accepted by the Catholc church! Not of any of the 4 Gospels!!!!! Every word Jesus spoke is NOT accepted by them!!!! Imagine that!! They REJECT Jesus.!!!

Not in one verse I see the word "pope" in the bible but this: Matthew 23,9: And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Its directly after the word “Trinity” in the Bible and just before where you find where it tells you which books belong in the Bible itself. Let me know if you need references for those… Peace!!!

@@mitchellosmer1293 I already answered your question. Its “too bad” i “lumped too many topics together” for you to understand my answer it. Now before you can quote the Bible you will have to first prove your authority of it given the plethora of interpretations of the Bible in the world today. So what makes yours the correct one? Is it the infallible one? If not then what? On the Other other hand there is this to ponder and answer “IF” you dare… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, - the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, - the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century and ONLY the 27 books, - not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. Therefore, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 4th century, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
No.... It's Jesus. It's Yeshua. And that phrase he uses the term rock for is in reference to himself as the rock, the temple,.aka the body the Church was built on
Absolutely. The reason why Protestants stay Protestant, I would know, I was one, is because, everytime I went to learn about Catholicism, I would read the work of a pastor or listen to a Protestant pastor that I trusted, to learn about what Catholics believed, and it wasn’t until I hated the church, and told God, If it’s your church, only you can show me, and I only said that, because I’d been wrong about so many things before, it was the 1 thing I really thought I knew without a doubt, that the CV was evil.. and idolatrous… the pedofilia… and then 1 day, it dawned on me, that this one Catholic was very smart, and he truly believes the church is the true church, and I read his book and saw it had been I infiltrated, just as every major religion has been, and is, and then I realized I’ve never learned Catholicism from a Catholic source. So I decided to go to a traditional church and asked the priest there about learning about Catholicism and he told me about Catechism classes and I started to go, and saw immediately in my soul, it was the truth. I got the same joy that I experienced when I learned Jesus was real. Learning the scriptural backing for everything they believed, it was undeniable, from cardinal sins and how all other sins fall under the category of one of the cardinal sins, to mortal vs venial, to the Saints ruling in heaven with Christ right now, and they acknowledge that 70AD was a major judgment on Israel in that day, etc etc. I’m converting still, and now my husband is going to catechism classes. I wish every Protestant could just set their belief aside and learn the Fullness of truth, and then compare scriptural backing side by side, point by point.
You just don’t know much about the world yet. Study forbidden archaeology, on the giants, the six fingered statues, and archaeology, and study the folk stories of the natives and others around the world, they all have flood stories, they all have giant stories, learn hidden history, understand that every people practiced human sacrifice, we know this, and what did God say, don’t ever worship Me the way they worship their gods, or you’ll be put to death, they sacrifice their sons and daughters into the fire of molech… Epstein island has a Molech temple there, people practice this evil to this day, the Aztecs stopped doing that publicly 1520s, the Mayans and Incans practiced it as well, Egyptians, and on and on.. the Bible is a history book, study biblical archaeology and learn the history of the world.. you have no excuse. Type in ‘athiest to Christ’ in the toolbar and start watching testimonies, every faith background has a thousand modern testimonies on this app, of people coming to Jesus.. because people still are having experiences to this day, and I have as well. From the time of the apostles to today, there are written testimonies of people having an experience that led them to undying faith in Jesus. Not only that, but the Bible has at least 40 authors and they all experienced the same God over a span of 1,500 years… there are over 400 prophecies about the Messiah and Jesus came along and fulfilled each and every one of them. The Dead Sea Scrolls found in the ‘50s match perfectly to the translations today, the Septugiant versions, as the Masoretic text was changed by the Masoretes to remove a couple prophecies about Jesus, so a couple things have been altered on that text, but we still have the Septuagint and now we can see that they match perfectly to the scrolls found hidden in caves in Qumran. You don’t need to be an atheist, you can be fulfilled more than you ever know with a true faith and a cultivation of love and trust for the God who knit you in your mother’s womb, who knows every hair on your head. God’s love for you is agape love, it’s true love, and He will fill the valleys of your life and level the mountains within your heart. He will give you a new heart, not of stone, but of flesh, and I would know, because I experienced the same… and you can read or watch testimonies of thousands of others who have as well. You can study the Saints or watch videos on RU-vid about modern people experiencing Jesus.. whether they’re ex Muslim, Hindu, Jew, Satanist, witch, new ager, or Athiest… if you study, you will find the actual truth. Jesus is the Truth, and the Way, and the Life 🕊️
This is taking away from what Christ did on the cross… saying our salvation is dependent upon 50% our works and view of the eucharist, and other 50% was Jesus. Rather than 100% Jesus, which is what the Gospels teach.
Catholicism is a false gospel. It adds too much that the Bible doesn't say. It says you still need a priest, purgatory, works above faith, indulgences, and the like. Christ offered himself as a sacrifice for sins, and that's all we'll need, not our works.
Brother, with love and respect, Catholicism has the correct interpretation of scripture for 2000 years since the times of the Apostles. Christ founded the Catholic Church (Matthew 16:18). St. Peter was the first Pope. The Catholic Church wrote the New Testament by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and canonized the Bible under Pope Damasus in 382 AD at the Council of Rome. Look into who founded the Catholic Church then look at who founded your Church. You may be surprised. Protestants have no history and therefore the wrong interpretation of scriptures. God Bless.
@ChristianCatholicMedia I love the respectfulness, I really do. However, I just can't look past that the Canon for catholicism says that "If anyone says the sinner is justified by faith alone, let him be anathema." Anathema means to be acursed or hated, meaning hate those who believe grace alone justifies. That goes against just about everything Christ spoke, Paul spoke, all the disciples and the Bible spoke about. Galatians 2:16 states that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Christ, for by the works of the law shall no man be justified.
@@kadensmith1224 You answered your own question, Galatians says "works of the law". Love is not a work of the law. Saved by grace through faith and charity. It is God working in us. James 2:24 - See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. We must have a living faith that saves. Anathema simply means that you are not in communion with the Church and have the opportunity to return to the truth faith. God Bless.
@ChristianCatholicMedia I agree with the James statement to a point. It is definitely not unbiblical to say works show faith. No one who knows the Bible would argue that. However, my issue with catholicism is putting the works above the faith. The Canon literally says that whoever says faith alone justifies should be anathema. That's a problem biblically. Heck, Romans 4:2 talks about if Abraham was justified by works, not only implying he wasn't, but that he wouldn't have something to boast about before God. Romans 5:1 just straight-up states we're been justified through faith.
Jesus said in my fathers house are many dwelling places, gospel of John chapter 14 v 2. Also my kingdom is not of this world. Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple and it priesthood and rituals.
Dear sincere followers of Catholicism, As to placing Mary on the same level of worship as Christ, or even above him, you judge for yourselves, whether that’s right or wrong. Remember to rely on the Holy Spirit For your answer, and be sensitive to hearing his voice.
Dear Followers of Christ. Worship and follow Christ only. DON’T place on a pedestal ANY denomination or sect of Christianity. Not Baptists. Not Lutherans. Not holiness, nor Church of God. Not Catholicism. worship Christ alone, follow his word, be sensitive, and obedient to the Holy Spirit as Christ promise he would give his believers. And love all our brethren , no matter even if they are Baptists, Catholics, or Lutherans,
You do not understand the hypostatic union. Priest always consecrates Bread and Wine. Protestants do not have a ministerial Priest in the Order of Christ to consecrate the Bread and Wine to become the Body and Blood of Christ. Luther removed the priesthood. God Bless.
In Eucharistic Miracles blood is always present on the Body. How? When you receive either element, you receive the fullness of Christ. Look into it. God Bless.
Yet the Bible says 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.

Why would it be a serious violation if it is only symbolic? It is because we are eating the Real Body and Blood of Christ. Examine ourselves if we have faith in Christ and believe His words of everlasting life. God Bless.
Catholic Perspective Jesus tells his disciples that eating his flesh and drinking his blood is necessary for eternal life. He repeats himself to emphasize both the importance of his teaching and that he is not speaking symbolically. His flesh and blood will truly be food and drink for his followers. Common Objections + DRINKING BLOOD IS A VIOLATION OF GOD’S COMMAND. + JESUS WAS ONLY SPEAKING METAPHORICALLY.
1) We receive God through bread and wine. We believe Christ when He commands us to Eat His flesh and Drink His Blood. God declared all foods clean. Read more here: www.catholic.com/qa/is-receiving-the-eucharist-cannibalism 2) Nowhere does it say metaphorically, you are adding to the Bible. God Bless!
John 6:54-55 [Jesus said,] “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the Last Day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.”
Amen! This is what the Catholic Church teaches. Protestants claim it is not indeed His flesh and blood, they claim it is only a symbol. I would encourage you to become Catholic. God Bless.
The signs of bad teaching, agenda driven teaching, teaching not Spirit filled, are all present in this mans diatribe… First, when someone generalizes; Protestants, Catholics, Women, Jews, Blacks, Democrats, salesmen, mechanics are ALL “fill in the blank!”.. That should raise a red flag. What follows is always a lie! Second is context, John 6:66 is not a conviction of a specific social or ethnic group but is determined to define the new covenant. The hearers in that day were practicing jews. The words leading up to this verse defined Christ the high priest! Words that purposefully divided the sheep and goats, just as the gospel does today… The commonality of all sects of Christianity is of course Jesus. You have him or you don’t! That is the distinction, it is NOT a rebuke of someone of our household! Flee from this type of divisive teacher……

@@paulinsana4482 Brother with love and respect. Look into how we got the Bible. Look into who founded the Catholic Church. Then look into who founded your church. You will be surprised. God Bless.
Well, no. Paul isn't saying that he got the eucharist from Jesus. He's saying that he had the intended purpose of the Supper given to him by Jesus. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 confirms that the intended purpose was for it to be a memorial meal to commemorate what Jesus had done until he comes again. You're disagreeing with the Bible.
St. Paul received it from the Apostles which is like receiving it from Christ. The Catholic Church received it. Memorial/Commemorate does not mean symbolic. It is a memorial of the Real Presence of the Eucharist. You skipped verse 27. 1 Corinthians 11:27 - Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. Why do you commit a serious offense against God if its just a symbol? Because its the real/true Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist. God Bless.
@@ChristianCatholicMedia oh, Paul answers that question in the next few verses, 1 Corinthians 11:28-32. The Corinthians were making a mockery of the Supper with their rude piggish behavior outlined in verses 17-22. And, as a result, God punished them through their illnesses. That's perfectly compatible with the truth of the symbolic nature of the bread and wine of the Supper. Just like how their symbolic nature is compatible with the idea that Jesus is truly present when we gather for the Supper, just as he promised in Matthew 18:20.
“Therefore many other signs Jesus also did in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.” John 20:30-31 The Bible is very clear that salvation is obtained by faith alone in Christ- “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8 I implore you to consider your Protestant brothers in Christ, that you might not cause them to stumble with this false doctrine. Those who are saved are saved in, by, and for Christ, not due to affiliation to a physical church or establishment thereof. Please brother, consider your words more carefully.
Why did the United States become such a virtuous nation that has resisted so many monstrous fronts of evil-despite our land's deeply Protestant foundations? Why also is it easy to point to numerous Catholic countries that cannot deter the worst evildoers on the globe? 🤔
Protestants have some truth they learned from the Catholic faith such as the Trinity, Scripture, Faith in Christ for Salvation. The pagan roman empire also had power. This does not prove they had the truth. Catholics have divine truth on faith and morals given to the Church by Christ. This is known as the fullness of the truth. God Bless!
@@ChristianCatholicMedia yet this only begins the investigation. America is a unique experiment-and despite her current downturn, she is the only deterrent that keeps the corrupt nations at bay. Why would her origins be so special? 🤔

His location in the Alps is where my maternal side originated. I also want to know why I am being treated this way. Yes my family has been Catholic priest, church of England ministers and other christian church leaders. So I do come from a line of Catholics and ministers. The current spelling is Bizzell.
They are images of the Christ and the Saints. The images are not actually Christ and Saints. Catechism teaches: 2132 The Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first commandment which proscribes idols. Indeed, "the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype," and "whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it." The honor paid to sacred images is a "respectful veneration," not the adoration due to God alone: Religious worship is not directed to images in themselves, considered as mere things, but under their distinctive aspect as images leading us on to God incarnate. The movement toward the image does not terminate in it as image, but tends toward that whose image it is. God Bless.
How is this to be understood? 🤔 "And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I WILL NOT DRINK HENCEFORTH OF THIS FRUIT OF THE VINE, UNTIL THAT DAY WHEN I DRINK IT NEW WITH YOU IN MY FATHER’S ’s KINGDOM." Jesus spoke symbolically about the grape juice as His blood.
