2:23 Purgatory as defined in multiple Church councils of the early middle ages, was always a temporary state of purifying punishment, for the sins people did but faced no consequence for on earth, and prayers for the dead would only speed up the process of entering the perfection of heaven, which the burning fire of purgatory represented. I felt compelled to comment as your phrasing here implies it was thought such prayers were absolutely necessary for reaching heaven, which would not have been accepted doctrine.
Loved St Andrews - went on holiday there a couple of years ago and it’s a beautiful part of Scotland with arguably the BEST Ice cream parlour I’ve ever visited ! We also visited Stirling Castle and Tower, Edinburgh Castle and city, Lochness and the Highlands and we only stayed there for a week !!! We drove hundreds of miles to see as much as possible and it was breathtakingly beautiful. We’ll definitely visit again - we’re Welsh and love Scotland 🏴, Ireland 🇮🇪 (visiting Dublin soon) and England especially the Cotswolds, (where one side of my family originally came from, the other side were deeply Welsh, tenant farmers who spoke Welsh exclusively, from near Fishguard and Pembrokeshire), Devon and especially Cornwall as we’ve holidayed there many times. Again we once visited Lands End, Lizard Point, St Michaels mount and yes we walked to the top, St Ives and Bodmin Moor all in the same day !! As well as our favourite place Tintagel where my other half bought himself a replica of the Excalibur sword that we had to find room in the car to bring home…..
The Protesants would later give birth to the Fundamentalist Evangelicals Christians who taught that a human could have a direct personal relationship with Jesus Christ without any other human functioning as a "middle person" to help navigate that particular spiritual interaction. They then trained their own pastors to preach sermons where this was entire concept was re-enforced. No sacrements or rituals were needed, not even holy communion - they taught that they could go to Jesus direct. It was a revolutionary idea - and one that the Catholics hated as it made the sacraments and rituals of the church obsolete.
Would you consider to be a bit less melodramatic? The music is so loud and weird that it is hard to hear what the speaker is trying to say. Also you did not explain why Scotland is not Lutheran, but rather came under the influence of Calvinism. This now is not the case. Scotland is a very secular society where hardly anyone goes to church. Until recently there was even a Moslem in charge of the place. There is still time to repent.
A one-sided argument, filled with a number of errors. Mary Queen of Scots married King Francis II who died aged 16. James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray who sided with the protestants was Mary’s half-brother, and was in a political struggle with the queen. Mary fled to England she was not captured. The people of St. Andrews did not rise up. Cardinal Beaton was assassinated. The reformation cannot be separated from what was happening politically in Scotland at the time. Henry VIII’s attempts to rule and Scotland’s attempts to steer a course between England and France. England’s use of religion to weaken Scotland’s unity. The church lands that were handed out to the aristocracy in England was an inducement for the Scottish Nobility to do the same.
Thank you for another wonderful program! Could you please check the volume of music? There were several times when I could barely hear the narration. Perhaps it's just my hearing or audio.
Dear, oh dear. He can't even get the doctrine of Purgatory correct. If you were judged for Hell, your soul wennt straight to Hell. Only if you were judged for Heaven might (note might) your soul first go to Purgatory. Might, because it is not impossible that some souls go straight to Heaven. And no, the number of Masses, prayers, etc said did not determine whether yu entered eternal life. That had already been determined at the moment of death. All the Masses, prayers, etc could do is to affect the time spent in Purgatory, although this is not the most accurate way of putting it as time does not exist in the afterlife. Frankly, if you want a decently reliable account of the Reformation in Scotland I would look elsewhere.
We know certain people are in heaven due to there being miracles associated with asking them to ask the lord to act and he does, if no miracles are seen the state of the soul is uncertain and so, just in case ,prayers for them to complete purgation sooner is a useful bet. @@Kitiwake
@undercoverbrother67 We only want Catholics to enjoy salvation as Christians and not tied to the pagan idolatry of Catholicism. Read your bible and come to your own conclusions and not what Priests under the yoke of the Papacy tell you.
How could you omit Knox's period of preaching in Edinburgh in 1554! His SEVERAL SERMONS EACH DAY not only transformed the deeply Conservative Scottish Capital into a hotbed of Presbyterian Protestantism but spread such influence to other burghs outside of the capital and Perth and Dundee! When he made his famous 'sermon against Idolatory' in St John's Kirk, Perth in 1559, people had already gathered to hear him! This was after the "Beggars' Summons" fixed to every friary in most of the Scottish burghs, earlier in the year, warning the clerics within to vacate the premises and sell all their goods for the benefit of the poor of the Burgh! Knox had already provided most of the metaphorical 'gunpowder' before his sermon. Strictly speaking, he also 'lit the blue touch paper'
I like when Alexander doddy presented this docs . He is one of my fav narrators. Anyway . Thank you for this video. Your fan from Sri Lanka ❤️🇱🇰🤝🏴.
I believe Mary was beheaded at Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire and not in London. She was later laid to rest in Peterborough Cathedral and then moved to St Paul's Cathedral in London when her son King James became King.
I think the mass immigration and growing other religion will make your words age like a fine hot cup of milk…in about 50 years, as a rough guess. Scotland will not exist, its towns names will be renamed, it will no longer be Presbyterian, trust me. Numbers are all that matter, they are your future.
@@Rydonattelo What do they stand for, they are dying. Traditional Catholicism will eventually take back all of the property that was stolen during the Heresy of the 16th Century, and the blood of the Martyrs will be avenged.
To pay to the priests for masses for our dear ones isn't only a medieval thing. It is made still in the present in the Catholic Church. Nobody screams or cries or makes a brutal reformation for that issue.
It's just a donation at that. I wrote my research paper on Yorkshire during the pilgrimage of grace and even the poor just donated fruits of the ground or chickens.
Bit of a misinterpretation when you say it was a gradual change as if it was a natural occurrence. It was literally made illegal to conduct Catholic Mass in Scotland, you were made unemployable by the enlightened protestant authorities, the religion that had stood in Scotland for 1000 years that the population still held was essentially outlawed. It was a complete full scale revolution that essentially forced conversion. As you state, most of Scotland remained Catholic after the so called act of parliament which clearly was not done on behalf of the Scottish / Catholic population, it was against them and in order to make them change their ways. ISIS would be proud of such an accomplishment. Historians always tell this story for the perspective of the same antagonists, John Knox etc, never from the perspective of the majority of the population who suffered the revolution from empowered, violent and self righteous mob. Again, ISIS like when they swept through Iraq taking down statues, art and anything that was considered unpure and represented the past cultural ties the people had to their faith had to be destroyed, and it was.
Multiple church councils of the early middle ages defined purgatory as only ever a temporary state, the video misrepresents this, prayers were not necessary to enter heaven, they simply sped up the process of being "saved but as through fire" where purgatory gave reparative punishment for sins which were unpunished in life, thus to make perfect the soul for heaven.
Lots of inaccuracies. For example example Cardinal Beaton did not have Hamilton burned. The Catholic church does not have and never had the power to execute people.
Who am I like ? Deaf ears pretend to hear blind pretend to see unknown pretend to be known test none at the end of the age many false prophets trust none test all you dont know how to test this moment now you can and don't know how to beat be down or false prophets and done
