Isn’t the pope appointed by god? I’m trying to figure this all out as a lowly Protestant.

@@Xymage what is and isn’t considered heresy? You mean changing the message of the gospel right? Doesn’t Catholicism change the message of the gospel (salvation by grace alone, from the sacrifice on the cross by Christ)? Is it heresy when a Protestant pushes back on new ideas? It’s okay when the new regime decides new dogma/rituals though right? Do you think every previous pope would have approved every sacrament over the last two thousand years? All seven sacraments didn’t come into existence all at once you know. Curious on some Catholic responses to these inquiries.

@@John3_16_ the texts of the 4 Gospels do not preach salvation by faith alone! Full stop doesn’t mention it. “Unless you did these things for the least of my brethren you did not do them for me. Depart into eternal fire.” Matt 25 referencing works of poverty relief. Second “Faith without works is dead, you try and show me your faith apart from your works and I by my works will show you my faith” Letter of James 1. Even Paul didn’t really teach it. “Shall we go on sinning then that Grace may abound all the more? By no means!”. So scripture clearly testifies that faith which doesn’t result in the works of over turning sin in our lives, the work of loving the poor, the work of prayer, developing a deeper relationship with God, and in summary the work of cooperating with Gods free gift of grace and forgiveness so that it makes a real incarnate difference in our lives, that faith isn’t even faith at all. It’s cheap grace, self deception and dead grace

We need faithful Catholics more than ever...if you are being called God is calling people of courage to stand against the heresies and hypocrites who threaten to scare off the faithful.

@@moses1640 Dear Cboy. As a child, I had a good. Christian foundation before I was Catholic. Around age 11, i strongly felt the need to be baptized. In my innermost being on a simple level, I began to recognize His leading. I didn’t always follow, but grace prevailed. Decades later, when I saw that I was being lead into the Church, it became an intense time of examining the early church history, scripture reading, and prayer. It was.no overnight emotional decision. It took over twelve years or so to bring me to that place. Even then, He gave me more than a few confirmations that this was truly Jesus leading me. It was a painful process of letting go of my will and following Him.

@@HeavnzMiHome im glad you found Jesus that means you have been born again...I myself am only a teenager ive repented my sins been born again and baptized but i was baptized first and all that i was still doing all my regular sinful things until I was born again.

@@d.singler-kron9034 6:38 -- the apologists' initial goal was to defend the papacy at all costs, and in the beginning of Francis's papacy, most of the complaints were from people really taking his words out of context and the perennial complainers.

"Don't abuse children" is a basic moral in virtually all cultures, and it should be one of the easier directives to follow.

That's why us cradle catholics stay too. Remember we the true catholics are the real Church not a bad, weak, lukewarm, political, blasphemous Pope or bishop or whatever.

Purgatory is taught by your church. Why? Because a final purging is needed. Why? Because the blood of Jesus is not sufficient. I would not want to be standing in front of the living God and say that!

Reject that but keep the truth of the church. We can not accept everything unless it fits the previuos teachings. The Holy Spirit doesnt change his mind. Plus we dont follow every opinion of the Pope, specially if underminds church teachings.

@@judyswiderski2682 Dont say that, those are your words. Purgatory is there because only the clean of heart will see God. There is plenty on Catholic Answers for you to check all the things in Bible related to that. God sacrifice is to give us a chance to go to heaven, not an automatic pass. Following commandments, works of mercy and everything Jesus taught is necessary. Purification is part of justice. If someone kills your love one repents immidiately and dies without making ammendment of life will need time of purification in afterlife.

@@Alma-tz8km Thank you for your kind and concerned esponse. The words of your church are in disagreement with God's words. For example: "Now the Spirit speakers expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing ing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypo risky, having their consciences seated with a got iron, Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them that believe and knoweth the truth." 1 Timothy 4:1-3.. Your church teaches to abstain from meat on Friday and eat fish or other food. It for kids marriage, another use that it is not pleasing to God. It teaches that the traditions of men, their traditions, are higher than scripture. It teaches that salvation is only through the RCC. If you do not believe this, read your catechism. They teach that Maey was born sinless, became the mother of God and was assumed up into heaven. The feast of assumption of Mary was established in 1958. Mary, herself said she needed a Saviour. "And Maryy said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Luke. 1:46-47. As regarding purgatory, Jesus ssid there is no other name by which we can be saved, Acts 4:12, and that Jesus is able to save to the uttermost. "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing that he ever liveth to make intercession fo them. Hebrews 8:25. Your church says no He can't. His blood and one time sacrifice is not enough. You need purgatory.

The pachamama incident was just traditionalists showing their usual disgust towards anything to do with women and pregnancy. It's amazing to me how Catholic men can have so many opinions on what women should do when they are pregnant but are so disgusted when they have to look at an image of a pregnant woman that they get enraged and call it idolatry. The Catholic church is a patriarchal institution that hates women and abuses children while proclaiming to love both. I'm glad I stopped engaging with it years ago.

Even the very elect would be misled.

A real pope would not allow pagan gods to be worshipped in Vatican, would not support homosexual unions and praise abortionist. Sorry as much as I’d like to defend the papacy but this is to much.

I do wish the pope was more clear on a number of things. At times he does seem to be really vague.

I have miracles that prove otherwise. St. Vincent Ferrier thought Antipope Clement VII was pope. He was wrong. Luke 10:5, Matt 10:13.

Protestants sometimes don't see that Jesus doesn't drag us in -- we respond to Jesus by faith (an intellectual act) and good works (an act of the will).

Justice must be fully satisfied for our personal sins before entering heaven, even if we are sorry for our sins. If a soul dies without justice satisfied, the soul goes to purgatory for a purification (even a painful purification), provided that the soul is already sorry for sin (and thus no longer guilty in God's eyes).

@@angelicdoctor8016 What do you mean, offering faith and good works?

@@judyswiderski2682 HI Judy. Have a look at this section of the Catholic Catechism, which explains merit. It may be interesting for you: "III. MERIT You are glorified in the assembly of your Holy Ones, for in crowning their merits you are crowning your own gifts.5 2006 The term "merit" refers in general to the recompense owed by a community or a society for the action of one of its members, experienced either as beneficial or harmful, deserving reward or punishment. Merit is relative to the virtue of justice, in conformity with the principle of equality which governs it. 2007 With regard to God, there is no strict right to any merit on the part of man. Between God and us there is an immeasurable inequality, for we have received everything from him, our Creator. 2008 The merit of man before God in the Christian life arises from the fact that God has freely chosen to associate man with the work of his grace. The fatherly action of God is first on his own initiative, and then follows man's free acting through his collaboration, so that the merit of good works is to be attributed in the first place to the grace of God, then to the faithful. Man's merit, moreover, itself is due to God, for his good actions proceed in Christ, from the predispositions and assistance given by the Holy Spirit. 2009 Filial adoption, in making us partakers by grace in the divine nature, can bestow true merit on us as a result of God's gratuitous justice. This is our right by grace, the full right of love, making us "co-heirs" with Christ and worthy of obtaining "the promised inheritance of eternal life."60 The merits of our good works are gifts of the divine goodness.61 "Grace has gone before us; now we are given what is due. . . . Our merits are God's gifts."62 2010 Since the initiative belongs to God in the order of grace, no one can merit the initial grace of forgiveness and justification, at the beginning of conversion. Moved by the Holy Spirit and by charity, we can then merit for ourselves and for others the graces needed for our sanctification, for the increase of grace and charity, and for the attainment of eternal life. Even temporal goods like health and friendship can be merited in accordance with God's wisdom. These graces and goods are the object of Christian prayer. Prayer attends to the grace we need for meritorious actions."

Luther was a RC. His goal wasn’t to split with the RCC. He was a student & an observer. He dared to critique & question. Blame Luther only IF you insist, but that stance improves nothing, teaches nobody. One half of a whole story is serious censorship. Half truth = Whole lie. PF is being critiqued for sound reasons from within the RCC. How was Luther handled? How is the RCC Clerics & loyalists handling legitimate critiques and questions today? Silence? Loyalty to a splintering, confused, un-catholic, un-biblical RCC hierarchy? GOD Himself is The Authority.

I think it's pretty clear, though, that that man doesn't have to spend his entire life alone in an apartment by himself - there are non-sinful options - a roommate who is not gay is an option as well - people don't have to be alone, though he may prefer that.

What is the truth that the Catholic church uniquely has? Also, would like to offer encouragement to @Nick Dombrowski that you can evangelise and tell people about Christ no matter what the Pope does. Our God remains constant forever and always has been, no matter what the current situation is with the Church. God be with you as you evangelise.

Lol

LOL, sometimes the truth is funny

his teaching is without error

@@angelicdoctor8016 His actions are with error though. One must hold onto Papal Infallibility, for without it, there is no Church. His actions may be well meaning, but they also lead people astray.

@@rugbyladice574 this.

And he is leading others in the wrong direction. He will be judged more harshly for this.

I understand your point, but if your biological father punch a womn in the street, saying he didn't is not correct. Im not saying you should hate him or something, but charity must to be founded in the truth. You can make an effort to understand why your father punched that woman (he could be drunk, he was havin a very low moment in his life... whatever), but saying he didn't punch that woman is lie.

I think its true that we *WANT* to love a spiritual father. I believe that God has given us a person to love in a very faithful Shepard, Archbishop Vigano. I really don't care who is Pope. I just let myself *KNOW* that PF is a BadPope. And Vigano is a good Shepard who stays faithful to the AUTHENTIC GOSPEL. We are not required to follow a false-gospel *NO MATTER WHO PRESENTS IT* What we need to know is written in the Bible. I love Archbishop Vigano as I would love a good father who cares about my soul.

@Pro Justice With "your" I'm speaking in a general example, I'm not preaching anything about his father, I don't know nothing about him. Don't make problem where it isn't. I'm talking about "your" 'cause we are not speaking about a random father but our spiritual pather (who is the Pope), so as we talk about our pope, talking about a biological father is about our father, and putin an example to someone, I talk about his father, not about mine's (who is not related with the one I'm talking to).

@@Xavilupe - Well…I am not saying that I am right; what I am sharing is of an “inexplicable” predisposition of mine for defending my biological father as a child, and how this predisposition applies to “my” spiritual father. I cannot relate to your hypothetical example of a physically abusive father; however, since I initiated this track by sharing a personal experience, I might as well press on… As a child, I vividly remember the days when my mother would leave town to work in another country. Friend, it felt like a punch in the gut, a feeling that lasted days, and weeks until she would come back a few months later. I was old enough to understand why my mother had to leave. In reality, my absent father was emotionally punching my mother and me, a kind of an abusive behavior for not acting as a father (sin of omission). By no means I would deny my father’s mistakes, yet somehow I honored him despite of…… Today, as an adult, I understand I was able to endure the difficult times through God’s Grace (my father is present in my life and we enjoy a beautiful father-son relationship). Today, as an adult, I understand Pope Francis is not the perfect spiritual father; may God continue pouring His Grace to honor the Vicar of Christ now in difficult times and forever, Amen.

@Pro Justice Look, I'm not native and I don't care so much about what are you talking about. However, I'm trying to talk about papal work with objectivity. I'm putting emotivism out of the equation. I have nothing to say about people I don't know nothing, just to desire the best to everyone. If anyone was ofended, that never was my intention and I apologize for it.

Yes, as they said in the video, we must stay on the path of Jesus's teachings, even when the Pope may be a stumbling rock in the path. We must keep our eyes fixed on the Lord above all else, and embrace the teachings of the Church as the Truth it is.

Purpose of Vatican 2 ? 👉 Ecumenicalism Aftermath of Vatican 2 included exodus of Nuns, Priests

I express my opinion. IMHO is evident in my response. I am grown up. Why it bothers you is your problem

Do not reply to my messages again. You have your opinion and I have mine. I have never been told before that I am mean spirited. You are not fighting with me. I don't fight.

Go to your priest with my response and ask him what he discerns. That may be eye-opening. I will go to mine as well. Keep you opinions in prayer

I know my faith

so much nonsense - no errors can be shown in Francis' teaching

Orthodox have the Eucharist.

Don't forget the Blessed Virgin Mary! We got Fatima and others.

utter nonsense - you can't show error in Francis' teaching

@@7db9a9 nooooooo there is no mary only Jesus can save you

@@angelicdoctor8016 you are categorical but in fact do not address the numerous dubious or heretical statements of Jorge

The loyalty to an elected man, a monarch of an independent country, Vatican City who has said and done un-catholic things and un-biblical things ~ I don’t understand how or why there is any loyalty at all.

No, he has a highly paid PR manager to do that for him.

except he didn't say that

He is saying God does not put us in hell we do it to ourselves when we refuse His Mercy.

Lies coming from the devil himself speaking through his agent Francis

@@naisonmandigo4135 naison -- we noticed that you have no evidence to support your wild and crazy claims

@@angelicdoctor8016 ​ @Angelic Doctor "you will know them by the fruits of their deeds" God find no words to preach to homosexuals, even Apostle Paul, and others, but Francis embrace them, maybe he is one of them. Who knows? God is the same today, tomorrow and forever. Being a catholic/ pope or whoever is no excuse on the throne of judgement. Jesus is God, you can see Him, understand Him by reading His word. Peter the one who was given a revelation by God to identify that Christ is the son of God, at one point he was used as a mouthpiece of the devil. How about Francis? who never see Jesus in flesh. If the devil uses Peter, what more us? Think about it. Its only those who can decent the spirit in leaders will never be swayed away by a strange docrine.

Love it!! You are Catholics too just don't follow the Pope in Rome

And yet he refuses to meet Cdl Zen or any other bishop who dares to offer fraternal correction...but BLM atheist marxists are OK...

The there are the purely political positions he takes. He is a peronist , He installs as a cardinal an apologist for BLM and a protege of McCarrick.

Shouldn't someone correct arch bishop Gregory on giving communion to an abortionist politician, of course it's not gonna be bergoglio but some cardinal should.

@s I've been to masses where (in the part where the priest prays for the pope and for our bishop) he prayed for Benedict XVI

God forbid the pope speak to people you disagree with. the catholic church is beyond weak.

I’ve been thinking that for years ! The two passages go together. And they tell us far more about Jesus than about Peter. That Jesus is the Father’s Messiah, means He is the Anointed King of Israel, So the news that He “must” - in God’s purposes - be crucified, would have extremely shocking to the disciples. Hence St. Peter’s shocked denial of Jesus’ intention, and the extreme severity of Jesus’ rebuke - because “doing the Will of [His] Father in Heaven”, *regardless of what that might require of Him* , is what “motivated” Jesus. The use of the word “must” in a description of what Jesus says, is an indication that God’s irresistible Purpose is being described. IOW, Peter is - however unintentionally - setting himself against God’s Will for Jesus and Israel, and Jesus rebukes this opposition as coming, ultimately, not from Peter, but from satan.

You should also read Matthew twelve verse forty six. It will tell you that Mary had four sons, And daughters after Jesus.

Mary. Cannot pray for anyone. She was a sinner herself, just like us all. Listen to James G. McCarthy on U Tube, and you will know this is true.

@@rhonawilson6428 Actually it says nothing of the kind. "While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood outside, asking to speak to him." The word "brother" in the Bible can refer to a male relative, such as an uncle or a cousin. (The same goes for its female equivalent, "sister.") For example, in Genesis 13:8, Abraham and Lot are identified as brothers, even though we know from 11:31 that Lot is Abraham's nephew. Likewise Jacob is referred to as the brother of Laban in 29:15. Although the Gospels were written in Greek, the Evangelists still wrote from a Semitic perspective. Jesus's brethren are never identified as sons of Mary. In fact, if you compare Mark 6:3 with Mark 15:40 and John 19:25, you would see that James and Joses are his cousins, the sons of Mary's "sister," Mary wife of Clopas. Furthermore, in John 19:27, Jesus entrusted his mother to the care of the Apostle John. This would have be highly scandalous if she had other sons to care for her.

@@rhonawilson6428 1. What is your evidence for claiming that Mary was a sinner? The Bible never addresses her as such. "Blessed among women," a 2nd Ark of the Covenant, a 2nd Eve.. never does it imply she's a sinner. 2. How does being a sinner prevent you from praying for anyone? The Bible commands to pray for each other, which would be impossible if sinners cannot us to pray for one another. Instead of getting all your theology from RU-vid videos, I recommend you read the Church Fathers. That's what led me to embrace Mary and subsequently Catholicism.

Mark I will be praying for you and I’m so sorry that you have not been able to successfully contact someone! If you haven’t already, you might want to try calling your diocesan office for help. It might be possible to have them help you find an individual who could help you walk one on one to complete a program. I am on RCIA team at my parish and right now we are having to meet through zoom but there is an older woman who doesn’t have the ability to do that and so one of our teachers is meeting with her weekly one on one instead. Also there is a really good study program on Formed (streaming platform kinda like Netflix for Catholics) called Symbolon that can be a methodical program to walk you through teaching- also one called Credo done by the Thomistic Institute. I will pray for you and hope that you will keep searching- It is a beautiful journey! God bless you! 🙏

@@christyholmes5346 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your advice. Just looked up Symbolon so I’ll be sure to check that out. I will persist. I have no choice. It cannot be ignored or rejected. After 41 years on earth and by the grace of God I finally heard the word and knew it to be the truth. Better late than never.

You are so blessed. The Holly Spirit called you right on time we are in the end of times

He’s just human. Pray for him.

The Observer Amen

"You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act." Matthew 7:16

"Let your yes be yes and your no be no." Mt 5:37. We need to stop making excuses for bad leadership. Humans are human, but strong leadership in line with Christ's truth is part of being a good shepherd. A serpent speaks of of both sides of their mouth.

It all depends on who he is with. He is a Peronist and pretends to be in agreement with everyone even if they disagree with each other.

Here’s the secret answer: Nothing. Papal infallibility is a Vatican 1 error. Popes can be heretics. See Pope Honorius for example.

The gates of hell shall not prevail against It. While I admit, in the natural sense, what you are saying looks to be true, we cant forget the first thing I mentioned.

Infallibility only applies when it’s in line with Scripture and Catholic Church teachings.

The only perfect head of The Church is Jesus. Allow room for humanity in the popes. God equipped them for their vocation in every way to bring about Christ's triumphant return at the appointed time. JPII had weaknesses, but building bridges to our separated brethren wasn't one of them IMHO. Yes, he flirted with boundaries, but was no heretic. Reminds me of the lengths God went to in bringing back this wayward sheep. 🙂 Unfortunately this pope is wading in heresy like it's a paddling pool.😭😡
