That would be a sign for me lol

This video and this comment remind me of Dwight K. Shrute

And his voice reminds me of Oscar Martinez

Very interesting how similarly designed this church is to other protestant denominantions churches.

A lack of priests is a common reason why Catholic Churches are closing around here. Sometimes one priest will work at two or three locations with lots of empty pews. The Catholic Church has reason to be worried, even South American countries are being taken over by Protestantism.

I was super surprised when I realized it was Catholic too as nothing on the outside clued me in and I missed any inside clues until the censer at 9:27. Lots of items still there (like the censer and vestments and missals and much more) that you would think would be removed if it's on the market and open for showing. To micah_lee it is surprising though getting more common. Obviously cost and circumstance can limit the options but generally Catholic churches are designed in specific and telltale ways that are meant to contribute to the Mass. This church and others can add those symbols and such with items and dressings but the older (and better funded) a Catholic church is the more likely it is to have some specific signs in the architecture itself like niches for statues, greenery symbols and carvings in the back of the altar area/sanctuary, and obviously crucifixes rather than bare crosses.

Good comment thread here...you all are saying a lot of what I was going to say. Looks Protestant on the outside...some folks would point to this as an outward sign of the protestantization of Catholicism and how it often works out. Not me, though.

@@ClockworksOfGL Now that I am back here, I wanna ask a question. You posit “being taken over by protestanism” in a way that seems negative from your view. If you hold to catholicism, what is the general believe of protestants, specifically on if they are saved or not? From my view on salvation, I see the catholic church as going against what the bible teaches. I wouldn’t say there are no people in the church saved, I would guess there to be many. And in the same way as protestant churchs, I would guess there are many unsaved, cultural Christians. What is the catholic view on the gospel the protestant church teaches (from preachers such as John Piper, etc etc. Solid preachers at least.)

There was also an episode of Holmes On Homes where Mike Holmes and his crew had to fix a botched reno of a church converted to a house in Ontario. One of the issues was the furnace wasn't powerful enough to heat a building that size, and other issues were from sub-code work, and Holmes doesn't even like building to minimum code, he always advocates for building well above code.

lol

And already starting on the renovations? I'm impressed with his energy level and self-discipline to always keep occupied with a project that will make the world a better place.

Where do you see a wasp nest

Hornets. Their bad assery make wasps look downright cuddly.

Nah, it's consecrated ground. No ghosts there! All them souls passed on. :) Now if you find a graveyard that DOESN'T have a church attached....

A haunted house is what I need 😁

@Amanda Anderson Nevertheless, rewarding good behavior is always a good thing to do. And as pack animals, they need direction and disipline, of course, but they also need positive reinforcement, encouragement, and attention.

My dream house 🏡😍

I was just thinking of him! Probably needs about the same amount of work.

Dont worry they wont come back to life...if they do just do what M.J did in thriller

Residents of cemeteries are very quiet neighbors.

I grew up in a tiny hamlet in upstate new york, and our backyard neighboring lot was a cemetery (with no church.) Only time there was ever an issue was sometimes on Halloween kids would mess around in there after dark. Otherwise it was always deserted and quiet as death, in a good way.

Creepy as shit.

It's the live neighbors you have to worry about.

That is what tall fences, hedges, or bushes are good for.

Then again there are those who would jump at the chance to live across from a graveyard.

Well, it IS quiet, no loud parties! If there ARE, you gots bigger problems!

It’s dead people. Dead people can’t hurt you. Now the live ones are the ones you gotta watch. 🙂

Simple man here, ditto.

Great content. Love what you do!

I basically grew up in this kind of area in New England, Even our basement had one of those pumps (though it never worked while we lived there, luckily our basement never flooded either). Had a sub floor and everything.
