The Crusades: What Really Happened? - Explaining the Faith 

"It tells me that goose-stepping morons like yourself should try reading books instead of burning them." - Henry Jones to Nazi soldier in Indiana Jones 3 :)

absolutely love this! instead of deleting what we don't like to hear or changing it, we should be learning MORE and studying MORE of this history so that we can learn from it and never let it happen again!!!!!!

@@bcalvert321 Do you have evidence for the generalized claim that all crusaders were there only for glory and gold? It is very hard to see into peoples motives in the present. It seems impossible to prove your claim for people that lived many centuries ago. There is the religious component, and there is the self defense component. Of course there are always going to be rotten apples here and there. There is evidence that the Byzantine emperor asked for help to the pope. They were about to be invaded in the same way as north Africa and Spain were conquered. Rome was next. See Battle of Lepanto. Eventually Constantinople fell after the last crusade. The crusades delayed this. Without this delayed the momentum would have been carried to Europe, and probably you and me, and the rest of America would be Muslim now.

I learnt a lot from this priest, truths always comes out late...

And they don't teach about the suffering of the Catholic Church during the Second World War. The death of many Priests religious etc,.The saving of 800,000 Jews. The sending of Catholic soldiers to the Eastern Front [Russia] where the death rate was very high, not the Western Frontline where there would be a higher desertion rate. We have too many political Priest's who will not defend the Church.

Agree

I’m Polish and feel the same

Do you know about the beast in the revelation?

We respect the personal opinion of the Good Priest fr. Chris, yeah In WW2 both phil and poland the one who suffered most are the chosen people same to poland but dont be Proud of it, cause the problem with pride is it can corrupt people, your capital letters speak itself, we all know of about the Stupidity of Filipino Pride. anyone can be a Chosen people of God but we must be humble no matter who you are, which country you came from, we Catholics are part of the one True Universal Church we must be united as one helping each other, not thinking "that one country is more special than the other one". Thats why for me i get rid of my national pride, cause its wrong and and as a catholic we have universal faith spiritually connected to each other brothers and sisters of christ we must be selfless not selfish, with humility we must be grateful that we are Catholic christians. But remember Patriotism is different from national pride, Patriotism is Good its love for one's country and recognizing its limitations and seeks to remedy them, but nationalism aka national pride is selfish its an extreme devotion that places ones own country above all others, very secular mindset... But religously with catholic faith we are supposed to be humble and treat each other equally as sinners seeking for refuge, truth, strenght, mercy and love of God. God bless us all

@@jaysealenduro5618 have you read? I said it is humbling.i chose capital letters because my eyesight arent that good.by the way you speak you are the one who is not humbling himself.that is my opinion.

Amen Brother. They're trying again and we must prevent barbarism.

Thank you for being with us Brandon and God bless you

Absolutely!

Tell others ❤😊

Thank you for joining us Connie and God bless you!

Thank you Fr Chris for all your Faith Talks. Absolutely inspiring. God bless you....all the way from the Fiji Islands.

We are do not worry ! The narrative against the Crusades and the Inquisition is Marxist (or similar) propaganda ! The Catholics fought tooth and nail to protect Europe from Islam. Same did our Orthodox and later even Protestants. God Bless !

I sent this video already to my friends, both Protestants and Catholics.

Agree!

@Festive Flower pray pray pray fast fast fast as Our Immaculate Mother says she will crush the head of satan she needs our prayers The Holy Rosary everyday Chaplet of Divine Mercy and Dedicate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and The Immaculate Heart of Mary pray with all your heart listen to Patrick Lenk Prayer of Jesus and pray it chant it live saying it the evil runs away 🕊🙏😇📯👱‍♀️💖

Not just Christianity, the whole Western world from Islamic barbarity! We wouldn't have democracy, technology, and freedom we have today.

And the advancement of the western World. There's hasn't been a useful idea to come out of Muslim lands since the 12th century.

Beautifully said. I believe you speak for many of us now all we need to do is come together,each a thin strand of rope braided together is difficult to break. Thank you ❤

Both the mother and the father should teach the children the faith. And it's best for a Catholic to only marry another Catholic. Marrying a non Catholic shouldn't be encouraged as often the children don't end up Catholic.

What else is new? Multiple generations now have been relying on Catholic Schools (many in name only) to properly teach the faith to their children. Many parents have abdicated their duty to be the PRIMARY educators of their children in the faith and other things. That is in our official job description according to the Church - to be the primary educators. They've farmed it out to these "Catholic" schools who are happy to take your money but then fail to teach your kids the most important reason you sent them their for. And now in many cases they are getting straight up anti-Catholic, marxist, and satanic stuff taught to them as if they were in public schools. It's been happening for decades now.

Right. The Catholic Schools do not teach about our Faith. Catechism doesn't teach it either.

@@danrugbyman : If what you are saying about Catholic schools is in any way true , then it must only happen in the US or your state. The Catholic schools in many non US countries especially Asia ( I can only speak of my region) do incredible work and produce many good doctors and professionals who contribute to society. Many former Catholic school alumni from my country are scientists and skilled doctors in several countries including Australia and the UK. We are not taught to hate but to think critically and act morally to uphold the truth.

Then you should plan some kind of viewing parties either at your house as a slumber party (if boys do that) or at you church. Talk to some of the other mothers, friends of your son or at your church, & see if they want to help you with it. Y’all can make it a series, order pizza, buckets or chicken, or get women in the church to sign up to bring food or drinks. You could keep the same menu every time or change it up, lasagna, chili, tacos, whatever is popular with kids in your area. You could even let the teens vote on the menu if you want. You could do all teens together or do boys on Friday & girls on Saturday & do lock-ins (sleepovers inside the church where y’all are literally locked in for the night.)

The Catholic schools are the ones who are selling out . Like - fulton sheen said You want your kids to keep the faith send them to public schools and not catholic schools .

Amen :)

Amen

Amen and amen 🙏

Sometimes people are just so opinionated and would disagree on terms of what they don't fully understand. Thank you Fr. Chris for explaining the cause and effect of "The Crusades".

Thank you Jack for supporting God's Divine Mercy. God bless

Oo nga. Di tayo makabangon sa hirap dahil sa Simbahan. Salamat talaga Magellan at Legaspi. Yung mga Kastila nga ngayon hindi na sila naniniwala pamahiin ng Simbahan na yan. Tingnan mo nasa google lang.

Do you know about Mary's appearance in Lipa City Philippines ‽ Virgin Mary said that China wanted to rule the world, and the Philippines is in their way. This of course is not approved by the church.

As a Canadian born and bred, I COMPLETELY agree with you!!! I can think of NO GREATER PEOPLE to being here into this country than people from the Phillipines. If I ever become PM of Canada, I plan on rolling out the red carpet for people from the Phillipines who want to emigrate here. Great people!!! Great citizens!!! Great people of God!!!

@Germanys Gunnery 1. Sgt Heartman of the Immaculataif Catholics know their faith enough to defend and inform non-catholics of the truth, many of them are unlikely to misunderstand Catholism, but rather embrace it.

@Germanys Gunnery 1. Sgt Heartman of the Immaculata Just cool down

Every Christian you mean.

@Leutnant Melchisedeks go away please

@Leutnant Melchisedeks good thing you stay away from our Holy Mother Church...we definitely do not need more craziness like you. But Jesus still loves you :) 😃

AUGUST 2023 FR.CHRIS, THANKS, MORE SUFFERINGS ARE HAPPENING TO THE POOR FILIPINOS BUT THEY ARE PRAYING ON AND REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THEIR BELIEFS, GOS IS AWARE OF OUR FAITHFULLNESS AND LOVE FOR HIM!

I learned alot about the Crusades but when the end of this talk came basing our grace on works, I realized why I left the church as I am happy to be saved by grace not by works.

@mousehouse Don't be silly ! He is just human and has seversl time mixed up words or turned round the sense of what he actually wanted to say. It is obvious that he had wanted to say that the Grace we were given must incent us to love our neighbour and God and do good deeds wherever we can. Those who are happy with the present they got without wanting to make others happy, too, are no good.

The crusades were an evil. Jesus did not teach us to kill and invade , Mohamad did !

Dear Blue Gold, please watch the video before making such comments.

@@bluegold4757 neither did he teach us to be killed by Muslims

Thank you TC for supporting God's word and teaching the faith. God bless you!

I learned so much about the church I left and now have come back to due to listening to all Fr. Chris' Explaining the Faith

@@foofielou Wow, Lynn...your faith journey is an inspiration. God bless you and thank you sharing!

@@foofielou my wife is also leaving her protestant church and will join our Catholic Church!! Here in sweden the protestant church is not even a Church anymore. They take down crosses, let muslims use the church, have lgbtqabcde priest…. Its wild!! But a ”Christian” Church they are NOT!!

Thank you for having an open heart to listen to God's word given us through the Church Bernadeth. God bless you

There's a reason why you didn't. After the Islamic Conquest Europe was so traumatized that they simply decided that it was better to forget about the truth.

My child (now an adult) left the Church bc of this and other things he was taught in Catholic High school. Said that "if you want your kids to leave the Church, send them to Catholic schools." It's been a long time now, and maybe . finally, gaining ground.

@@finallythere100 You're not a member of the Catholic Church because of history or lack of being taught history. Your children left the church because they didn't believe the doctrine.

@@zacharyvandress1120 look at you... presuming to know the hearts of another's children. What hubris!

@@preshpesh552 I’m confused - what does this have to do with the Crusades? 🤔

@@marthamydear7499 well isn’t it obvious? No Crusades = No Christianity in Germany = to Changing the timeline of the world = Presh Presh’s non-existence = not being able to be funded or invest = to Presh also being proud of the crusades 👍😆

Me too!

I dispute anyone who isn't proud of the crusades.

The modern Cathecism is Shism I taught the old I stopped went back to teaching and left again because they wouldn't let me teach about Immaculate Mother Mary I left weeping about this terrible disrespect and Heresy against Our Lady an insult ultimate disrespect I was appalled Canada they taught about Trudeau not Mother Mary 😑😥 let's stick together pray pray pray fast fast fast 🕊🙏😇📯👱‍♀️ Susanne

@@masterartist6786 Burn the copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church,if you have any. Article 841 of CCC says , Muslims and Catholics worship one God . Allah, the god of Islam is the moon god Baal, who is Satan True Catholics don't worship Satan.

Dear EB, we did not say we worship the same God nor are they the same God. In fact, I stated my disagreement with CCC841 and then went on to say that the Catechism states that Islam "professes" to worship the God of Abraham but that doesn't mean they actually do. Thank you and God bless you.

@@DivineMercy_Official Father Chris, whats a great talk! I know what you mean about the usage of the word "profess" in CCC 841. If it stopped there that would make sense. But then it continues "...and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day." So that clarifies that the new CCC claims they "profess to" and "adore" the same God as us which is self evidently not true. We are in agreement about the fact that their god cannot be the same one true God of the Holy Trinity that we believe in. But I think we disagree on what the catechism is actually saying about this...

@Dana M. A. A I was shocked when I read that even for a modernist CCC. Catechisms can be different but are supposed to agree with eachother. It's a scary time when catechisms are beginning to contradict one another...

Thank you Manny and God bless you for seeking the truth of our faith.

@@roberth1378 Of our LOST adult children 😭

Yes we do! Meanwhile BLM are actively erasing our history & culture 😭

My whole post was just deleted. I will just say that I found this talk to be the weakest that this priest has made. I find some parts simply shocking with deeply ingrained US propaganda messages. The bombing of Japan with nuclear bombs was not done to shorten the war and save lives. That is what the US propaganda was at the time in 1945. No one still believes that today. The two sites that were bombed where the centres of Catholicism in Japan. That is why they were bombed. For that reason and to send a message to Russia. The war was over and then they dropped those bombs. For a Catholic priest to be spreading 1945 propaganda is astonishing. The US army has made no attempt to save human lives. I flat out reject and oppose those statements. I point to Smedley Butler who is very clear that the US army works for corporations and is concerned ONLY with financial profit.

I listed that the bombing was not a just act, and I explained the reasons given by the Church. Regarding your point, the surrender of Japan came three days after Nagasaki, avoiding an invasion of Japan that would have cost tens of thousands of American lives. Any logical person can make that conclusion. I will pray for your lack of gratitude for the freedom you enjoy because the free world that you live in today is due to the blood of American men who gave their life for it. I find it shocking that you have such little respect for that. May God open your heart.
