5 Things Catholics Wish Protestants Knew 

As a convert from a Protestant religion Im angry I was lied to for so many years.. Study scripture for yourself and church history...❤️

I am a Protestant (Lutheran) and I love my Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ. I found this video especially helpful for understanding papal infallibility. I've listened to several Catholic apologists and I 've never heard it explained that way before. 🤯 Thank you!

Cradle Catholic, here 🤚. Listening to you makes me love the Catholic Church even more. We DO love Jesus and the Bible. Thank you for your witness! God Bless you 🙏🏼

I tried to "easily demolish the Catholic faith" a couple years ago. I am a Catholic today because of that effort. Protestants: be very careful wading into that fight! You will find that many of the things we stood on confidently are actually very weak and wobbly at best under close scrutiny. Be warned: once you start discovering this you can't take it back. If you are an honest and sincere person you will end up a Catholic yourself in the end, once having studied all the apologetical evidence. 2 years into this journey I can say it's the best thing that ever happened to me!

I have been Catholic 2 years longer! Yay, Catholic. My friends don't argue Bible with me because I was well read before. My friends also know I would have never converted unless I had prayed first. God called me here.

I wasn't Catechised in the Catholic Church as a boy I attended an Anglican Protestant School. I was Baptised Anglican as a child in the trinity. Later in my 20's an Anglican friend of mine tried to pick apart a Catholic friends faith by saying Mary is not holy and the Catholic faith is incorrect but I new instantly he was wrong. I was also struck by the simplicity and low wages a Catholic Priest lives on compared to an Anglican Vicar this told me by the Anglican and Catholic friends . I have to admit I was tempted at times to go to an American Evangelical Church but people who had been, told me it was too full on and appeared a little too interested in your donations and it was making some strange Appostles. Any how I started with my wife as a Catholic in my mid 20s and after much reading on the Church and Saints and going to Mass, praying the Rosary I became Catholic. The Church makes sense when you fully understand the faith. Oh I have to say my Mom had a Rosary and a Picture of Pope John Paul when I was a kid I think maybe her love of the Rosary guided me although she was an Anglican

As always, Keith, your passion for your Catholic faith makes me cheer for you with a huge smile on my face as I listen to you. I'm a cradle Catholic and would love to be as bold about defending my Church as you are!! Someday, perhaps, with the intercession of the saints!! :)

Would love for protestants to realize the difference between praise and worship. Seriously a big deal. That could solve a lot of Marian devotion issues. Signing songs is NOT worship. Great video. Love your fire 🔥!

As I heard from a very Holy priest,, We Catholics not only have a personal relationship with Jesus, we have an intimate relationship with Jesus in the Eucharist. He loves us so much that He humbles Himself & stays in a piece of bread & wine, body , blood, soul & divinity. And wants us to consume Him. I encourage any, if you doubt, to look up Eucharistic miracles.

I wish Protestants knew more about ... 1) the true history of their own faith and the true history of the Catholic Church starting when it was founded by Jesus 2) the fullness of the faith, all the devotions, prayers, feast days, saints, writings etc. that bring such richness and history to our faith - i.e., there is more to our Faith that we can experience than reading the Bible (as necessary and wonderful as that is) 3) Mass is held every day. We can hear the gospel and other teachings of the Bible at Mass every day 4) You can go to Adoration, Confession on certain days or just sit before the Tabernacle (in the presence of Jesus) whenever the Church is open. Many Churches are open all day, every day for people to drop in and pray. 5) we believe in helping others in need as part of our dedication to Jesus. 6) Catholic missionaries have been establishing Churches, Schools, & Hospitals and converting others to the faith for 2000 years. 7) the Catholic Church commissioned a lot of beautiful and old sacred music and art that can be enjoyed to this day by all 8) No matter where you are traveling there is probably a local Catholic Church that can be attended for Mass on Sunday 9) not all priests are good at delivering homilies, but we are not there for that, so it is not as important to us. We are there for the Eucharist. 10) Mass is not for socializing; it is for reverent worship. Socializing takes place outside of Mass. Many neighborhood churches are attended by the same neighbors, school mates and family members you see all the time during the week so there is not as much of a need to visit with each other on Sunday. Plus, you have to get home to make Sunday dinner.

Keith, loved it. Don't know how many opinions out there might change, but even just 1 person thinking more deeply about it makes this video worthwhile. And that's my point: If no one has told you lately how worthwhile your videos are, I'm telling you today. You meet a great need in the Church, my friend. God bless!

Thank you for this. So true. The dishonesty and bigotry about and towards Catholics by Protestants is so heartbreaking and also very frustrating. I’ve experienced the results of anti Catholic propaganda many, many times!

Thank you so much Keith- you converts are a true blessing to the church. God bless you and all your followers. Greetings from Greece

Thank You Keith for helping all of us out here defending Our Dogma and Trying .... Trying .... Trying to make these Non Catholics to understand .... --- What bugs me the most is as my Wife and I, Cradle Catholics for 72 years, when we join our Protestant Kids and their families ... My Son in Law always does the Meal Blessings, and at the end of Him Praying .... I insert the Sign of the Cross to myself and my Grandkids look at me everytime to see this happen ... Hahaha ..... YET!!! .... Non of them ask why their Grandpa does this ..... hahaha ---- One other small pet peave of mine .... When he does the Blessings of the Meal .... He as well as many protestants that i know, Bless evertyhing under the sun for 15 minutes, then finally a short blurb on God blessing the meal ..... He asks God to Bless the kids, the grandparents, the lawnmower, the shingles on the roof, the trips we make to their house and back .... etc etc etc .... Thank You again Keith for the fine work that you do !!! God Bless You !!! --- also to go along with your Excellent video: “There are not a hundred people in America who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions of people who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church - which is, of course, quite a different thing.” The Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

I dare any Protestant to make a regular one hour visitation to “adoration” chapel per week, after being taught WHO is there for us!✝️❤️🙏🏼 By the way Keith, love your channel!

Keith one of the things that I can’t understand is that Protestants can believe that Ezekiel a prophet can be taken to heaven body and soul, but the Mother of God can’t be taken as well. She was born without original sin to give birth to our Lord and Savior. A Holy and unstained pure womb for our Lord Jesus to be born through. Hence the Mother of God. If the Blessed Mother was not pure, our Lord would be just a prophet and not the Savior.

"Do you think the apostles were infallible? Do you believe what they had written is infallible? " Great argument for protestants...

My favorite is when they say we pray to “dead people”. The entire purpose of asking them for prayer is that we know them to be quite alive- in heaven! Thats the entire point!

Catholicism being "works based" is the main criticism I hear constantly from other Christians I admire. It would be so good for you to lay into that one! Thanks for all you do. You helped me on my journey home.

If protestants really understood Christ's Catholic Church, they'd rush to be Catholic. I am a convert from a Baptist sect that went defunct 25 years after I left.

Excellent video, Keith. I grew up in a very legalistic Baptist home. I was in high school, back in the 80's, and there was a lot of abuse going on in the churches I attended. Protestants, in my opinion, need to be very careful about that issue. I love my Catholic brothers and sisters and I am more interested in finding common ground than anything that might separate us. God bless you, Keith, my brother.

Next 5! Next 5! Next 5! If it be God’s Will for your journey. God Bless you deeply my Brother 🥳

Great video!! We are recent converts and wish someone would have explained these things years ago. Love the beautiful Catholic faith!

Your defence... your passion... your conviction... you are TRULY the conduit for our Protestant brethren to understand what our Mother Church is about. God bless you abundantly in everything you do and you've got yourself a new fan from Singapore! 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬

As usual Keith, you are a breath of fresh air in these crazy times. Let's stay together as faithful Catholics! I appreciate the video. God bless you!

Thank you for putting videos like this out there! I wish Protestants knew that Catholics believe whole heartedly that Christ’s death was sufficient and we DO NOT think that we can earn our own salvation.

I love how some of the most devout Catholics are ex Protestants. Watching these videos are amazing. They inspire this cradle catholic to be more educated.

God bless you & your family, Keith. _______________________________________ 1. WE LOVE JESUS! 2. WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD 3. WE DON'T WORSHIP MARY/SAINTS 4. WE DON'T THINK THE POPE IS PERFECT 5. WE HATE THE ABUSE CRISIS

I'm Catholic...my wife is Lutheran. When I would attend services at the Lutheran Church, ushers and other members were confused as to why I wouldn't take Communion at their services....I had a member and an usher literally drag me from the the pew the join the communion...I even had an usher tell me "it's ok...you can take communion...all are welcome here." It got to the point where I sent the Sr. Pastor an email that as a practicing Catholic, we practice closed Communion and I cannot take Communion in a Protestant Church..... Later, I had a volunteer at that Lutheran Church tell me that the pastor was bothered by the fact I wouldn't take Communion from him. They would have Church meetings where they would joke about saying Our Father and Hail Mary or being recovering Catholics.....Funny thing is, my wife attends Mass with me....they know she is Lutheran and the Priests and Deacons are very welcoming to her. We even had the Priest sit with us during a Lenten Fish Fry dinner and we had a great conversation.

About the Bible, Fr Mike Schmitz has an amazing Bible in a Year, best podcast ever, not only got me through the entire Bible but went into depth and helped me understand it so much better! Thinking of going through it all over again. Scripture is really important to us, really and truly, love God's word ❤️

I am reading the book Stunned by Scripture How the Bible made me Catholic. By John Bergsma. He is also a convert and goes over your same talking points. Thank you for your video.

Hi, Protestant pastor here, I wish my Protestant brothers and sisters would listen to this and understand their errors in understanding. Thank you for your video

Great! Concise...to the point...and challenging Protestants to engage with the fullness of doctrines/beliefs/practices of the Catholic Church and her people.

To understand our reverence to Mary, people need to understand ancient Jewish traditions. Ancient Jews would ask for Rachel’s intercessions. See the parallels of Mary, Jesus and the beloved son John to Old Testament Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin!

You're still on fire. I love it. I don't know why they refuse to accept. I suspect it mostly goes to not wanting to be catholic ever!

What a refreshing take on Catholicism. Others that have posted pro-Catholic videos vehemently reject Protestantism. Over the years my heart has softened to Catholicism, to where I truly see y'all as brothers and sisters in Christ. The unity that Christ prayed for comes from videos like this. I have presented the "intersession of the saints" concept to other Protestants (which I learned from the Catholic catechism.) They respond with "I've never heard it put that way", and develop a softer heart.

Hi Keith, & may many Blessings from Heaven, continue to grace you, Estelle, & your family. I am a cradle Catholic, & you are a shining star; sent down by our Lord Jesus, to light up our Catholic Faith; ever so bright! Your love of our Faith, when you speak, is so special,. You make me feel as though , you are right with us; when you speak out, & explain how it really is, & no nonsense; but truth! The Way; that being "Jesus." Jeanine Faith Marie Fitzpatrick-F. Lewakowski

Been following you since the Kieth Nesters 1st Catholic talk. [Watched it a few times!!! ) It's powerful stuff!!! Love your passion! Thanks!

Hi Keith, I'm from Indonesia, n I' m Catholic

Hi Keith. in my country where I live. Mexico. we hardly have any teaching of our doctrine the Catholic Doctrine our preists are extremely busy therefore catechesis is very very important .yours is especially necessary because it gives us encouragement and we get to know the truth Jesus our lord better

sharing your posts because I have several friends who left Catholic Faith.

Hi Keith, thank you for making this video. As a non-Catholic I appreciate your comments and it has helped me have a better understanding of what Catholics believe and where they are coming from.

Great video, thank you Keith As a cradle Catholic, I learn a lot from you & others who discover Catholicism... Deo Gratias! 1 Corinthians 15: 57 & 2 Corinthians 7: 14 😊 God Bless us ALL! +++

Catholics have more than a personal relationship with Jesus. We have also a communal relationship with the Body of Christ.

“So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.” ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2:15‬ ‭RSV-CI‬‬ “if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭RSV-CI‬‬ Why doesn’t he say the scriptures here?^^ Wow Saint Paul calls scripture … Tradition. Once our Protestants brothers can see that the living church came before the New Testament scriptures and was handed on by an oral culture long before the New Testament was canonized by the church we can make progress. Apostolic succession happened, to deny it is to deny reality. You can’t read acts without seeing apostolic succession.

Well said - I like the comparison you made regarding papal infallibility. Never thought of that before. Thanks- it may come in handy in the future for me If the question comes up. This subject is a bit like some Christians who don’t understand that Catholics go to saints and Mother Mary the same way they do when they ask friends to pray for them or for prayers in general.

How often do we hear uplifting stories from both Catholics and protestants, where someone in the community has been in an accident or is very ill and the family asks all their friends and church members to pray for the person in need. The person gets better and sometimes even has a personal encounter with the lord. Well that’s intercessory prayer. And we ask the saints to pray for us because we believe only the body dies and the saints are alive and well in heaven, ha probably more alive They can stand before the very throne of God and lay out petitions to God face to face They’re prayer is perfect

You are doing a fine job, Keith! Keep up the great job you ard doing! 🐦

Thank you for sharing this video.

well said!! I crossed the Tiber in 2013 - I agree with you 100% - - 1/ we love Jesus and one way we show it is by belonging to the Church He founded 2/ nowhere in the Bible does it say 'Bible alone' - Christ founded His Church BEFORE the New Testament was written. He gave us both PLUS Tradition (as St Paul says) 3/ yeah saying we worship the All Holy Mother of God is a pure lie as you say, if we sinners should pray for each other how much better that the Immaculate Virgin does as well!? (and the Saints) 4/ we Catholics know popes make mistakes, ESPECIALLY this one! Papal Infallibility hardly ever applies 5/ we hate the abuse. plus people forget the Catholics (especially nuns) who risk their lives in dangerous countries and work with the poorest of the poor. e.g. recently nuns died because they stayed with ebola victims

Thank you Kieth! Very nice video..I think those are definitely the most argued about by the protestants.

God bless you our Lady keep you

I wish that my Protestant brothers and sisters would quit saying Christians and Catholics - Catholics are Christians - you don't say Christians and Methodists or Christians and Baptists, stop excluding Catholics as what we are - Christians. Just remember that until Luther hung his thesis on The Wittemburg Cathedral doors every Christian was Catholic.

Thanks brother in the Lord Jesus Christ I'm so proud of you to tell us and the world what is the truth to give it to all the human beings in the faith and and are not 🙏 Thanks God for you AMEN ♥️

Thank you Keith ❤. God bless you...

Thank you so much for your passion on this Keith! Your struggle with those around you comes through, too-the pain of not being listened to and understood. I pray for your peace. Sometimes we have to reconcile with the fact that people's ears are closed. I once talked with a guy 45 minutes about Christ and God and all of it. It was an awesome combo, we linked up on a lot of things. But at one point he said he'd shoot the Pope if he could. I let it slide without comment, but upon parting I made a plea for him to not harbor hate in his heart and be merciful because of how much mercy God shows us. He started to say that he didn't have anger towards anyone- but I interjected (trying to be light), 'Well you did say you want to murder the Pope!' His response was miffed, 'Yeah but I have my reasons...', and then muttered something about how Catholics wouldn't listen (I'd not told him I was Catholic). He promptly scooted away annoyed (no more appreciation or smiles or good will gesture). Maybe he felt caught in his own duplicity, called out on a contradiction he didn't want to face. I just prayed for God to have mercy. But I think it illustrates the degree of resentment many harbor about the Church (he was ex-Catholic) and that is fed by a constant propaganda machine. Unfortunately, it creates a half-way Christianity. As Catholics, we feel deeply the struggle to accept and forgive brothers and sisters among us with whom we do not agree. For some of us, that's the Pope himself. But this just makes us trust Christ and the Holy Spirit even more! It asks us to constantly stretch beyond what's comfortable for us and seek the greater purpose in our obedience to the Body of Christ. And in my experience, this just leads to an ever deeper and more constant interior link to His graces. We realize the depth of riches in the Church far outweighs whatever impoverishment we might feel at the surface. This should just inspire us to work even harder to go digging for the riches and bring them back to the surface so that the whole Body of the Church can grow and be renewed. Also wanted to mention: I think it's because of the amazingness of the Eucharist that Catholics, maybe especially very devout ones, do not speak in braggadocious tones about a "personal relationship with Jesus." As you rightly point out, of course it's that-but it's also so much more than even that phrase suggests. When I leave mass, I'm often so full of God's presence in peace that I hardly even want to speak. When I encounter people in that state, I just radiate God's love and joy to them, totally without plan or intention or thinking about it. Through the Eucharist you just give yourself to Christ and he starts disposing of your liberty as He wills. That is more than relationship, that's absorption and assimilation into His Body. (Maybe you should get your Protestant friends copies of _Jesus Our Eucharistic Love_ by Fr Stefano Manelli, maybe that would help...) P.S. Keith I'm a CR native and must have worshipped with you at ICC last June when I was back for a visit. Also a convert. Keep fighting the good fight and be at peace! God's got this. Also, I always try to remember when I get frustrated- It's we who need Him, not He us. 🙏

Very well said Brother Keith!!!.. God bless you. 🙏🙏👍👍❤️❤️

This is great Keith. Thank you!

I already love this one!! Even before watching the whole video.

I had a friend who was a Witness, and I tried to be respectful and supportive of her journey with her religion, yet she was vicious when talking about me being a Catholic. One of the ways she tried to discredit our religion was the saints. I had to explain to her that being a saint does not mean you are a perfect person who never did anything bad and never swore, as there are a few saints that had sketchy pasts and were known to swear a lot, and then I had to explain what saints really were. After watching your video I guess I could better describe saints as elected government officials that you go to with your problems and ask them to speak on your behalf at the capital (heaven). Most people can not speak directly to the leader of your country, but if you talk to your elected government official there is a higher chance of it getting to the leader. There are times that if they bring it up I have no problem talking about the bible and religious things with people of other faiths, but I am learning to keep it to a minimum now or just walk away, as too many people of other faiths think they are better than me solely because I am a Catholic or simply not the same religion as them. We read the same bible, why is there so much animosity and posturing?

It's funny when non Catholics think they need to tell Catholics what they believe, even funnier when they think they need to tell a convert. God bless you Keith! Thanks for this.

Hey Keith. I'm from Singapore. I listen to you now and then. Loved your testimony and so did my goddaughter. The Church doesn't actually teach that scripture was dictated and inspired, as you mentioned - just inspired. Nonetheless, thank you for the work you've been doing to bring Catholicism to a younger crowd. Keep it going, please.

I love this video, you really hit the nail Keith. You made it easier for confused catholics and non-catholic to understand the common misconceptions about the Catholic Faith. I wish I can share this video to my fb friends & relatives that won't look like I'm shoving my faith to their throats... I've already lost (I think & felt) a ton of non-catholic friends (liberal catholics as well) because of posting such video... God bless you & your family Keith.🙏

Great video, thank you Keith keep doing what your blessed to do, Praise God❣️❣️✝️

Proud of you Keith thank you for sharing this beautiful video brother 🙏

Keith you are amazing 👏👏👏

Thank you Keith your videos are so helpful in my journey with Christ guided by the Catholic Church. Before joining the Holly Catholic Church i made inquiries to several protestant churches and the Islamic church as well. First the Moslems spent most of the time trying to prove to me that Christianity isn t authentic. After our discussion i could hardly remember anything positive they said about Islam. But i went ahead and read the bible verses they attacked. That made me a Christian. The protestants likewise were "the catholic church this and that" hardly any could say anything about their churches that convinced me. So i researched about the Holly Catholic Church. Lo and behold i discovered my home and new love. God bless you and continue the great job.

I love my Catholic Faith!

👍 Well explained. The problem is most Protestants won't believe it and will persist coming at us saying how wrong we are

Thank you so much Keith! Your videos are always so educational.

Some of my protestant friends considered Catholics not christian I wonder why they think this

I love that you say, you're not anti Protestant, I've been so for over ten years. Just started seeing Mary differently, and even praying the rosary. I'm still really confused on some things, and even feel stranded spiritually. But I do know that even in such a time, my trust and love for the Lord is growing still.

I agree Keith, well said. Personally what irritates me is Protestants who do not include Mary in their church or their lives. Mary is the most important lady in Jesus's life- his mother and is the Queen of Heaven. No we do not worship her...that is for our Lord but we honour and respect our lady, daily.

Great video Keith! 🔥

Well said, Keith 👏💯 Thank you!! God bless you 🙏

Thank you Brother!

Please explain in the next one the biblical origins of the prayers we recite at Mass and biblical support for the Holy Rosary. Thanks!!!

Thanks for sharing. Love ur channel 😘

after a while in apologetics, you realize who is listening and who just wants to shout and drown yout out

I hear you bro. As a Protestant I have had similar experiences listening to Roman Catholics mischaracterize Protestantism. I have never believed any of the five mischaracterizations you listed about Roman Catholics. I have gone to Mass several times and I have a copy of the catechism. I am really not into throwing stones at the Roman Catholic Church. I do however, like you, want our traditions to be portrayed accurately.

Keep spreading the love Keith. Love your show and there’s nothing more satisfying then to hear you explain a Catholics faith to the non-catholics who criticize. You do it with patience, love, and compassion. Nothing better than emulating our lord Jesus himself. God bless you man!

Thank you Keith. You inspire, encourage & uphold me to be a better Catholic. God bless you.

I view asking for the intersession of Mary and the Saints in the same way a prayer circle works.

I don’t know if it’s really them not knowing what we know but rather, it’s really them not believing and not accepting what we believe and live by.

Nice teaching I love Catholic Church Humbly Catholic

Love this! You are so right! Thanks, Keith.

Thanks Keith 👍

Love these simple concise videos that open the door to communication

Well said, Keith!

As always, down to earth explanation. God bless you.

My one thing I wish protestants knew, a true devoted catholic. Someone well formed in the faith. That would address alot of issues. Outstanding Keith... many of the same arguments u have addressed before, but its always needed to be refreshed in peoples minds.

I'm protestant. I found the original truth in Catholic.

Thank you, I needed to hear this.

Welcome home to Christ Church. Keep up the good work, brother. May the good Lord richly bless you and yours. Amen and amen 🙏🏾

Thank you for this Keith. Wish people would believe Our Heavenly Mother could protect them. As for the pope , it’s all in Gods plan to have Francis there , good Pope or not . Here in Ireland the abuse in the Church has diminished faith but I just always told my children we are worshiping God in Church , not the evil people who did those awful crimes .

I can't understand how Protestants can put so much emphasis on the Bible, but they ignore ACTS and Jesus' command to eat His flesh and drink his blood to enter the Kingdom. They have no Eucharist!! Huh? And how can you say they love Jesus but they refuse to be in the church He founded? Huh? I'm so puzzled. And lastly, I feel sorry for Protestants because they are depriving themselves of all the beauty of the Mass and the graces we receive from the Sacraments. Thanks Keith.

Well done! Let me know when you come to Alaska. Tiber swim team ‘97

Thank you Keith😊 Excellent!!! God bless you and your family 💕

Thank you for this video ! I was born Catholic and I'm grateful for that! But I feel very close to protestants. I think we should pray together regardless of our differences !🙂 Our world needs all our prayers and unity! God bless you all
