What Protestants Get WRONG About Mary w/ Gabi Castillo 

Mary is an insult to Satan. How humiliating would it be to have a little woman like her just absolutely crush you! We love you, our heavenly mother!

When ever i listen to a PROTESTANT say they Pray the HOLY ROSARY.... It makes me smile and say to myself... "Future CATHOLIC CONVERT"

Satan hates The Most Blessed Virgin Mary!

Being a member of God’s family is an honor. To be like God is to be his sons and daughters. He is so very good.

Thank you, Gabi, well said!

I love our Blessed Mother

Such a misrepresentation of many Protestants. I don’t worship Mary or pray to her as an intercessor or otherwise. But to say I hate Mary and don’t understand Christianity is an emotional and defensive position.

Raised a Protestant, I was creeped out by the “Mary stuff” by the church. In the end Mary helped bring me to understand the Christian faith. Protestants don’t understand theosis.

Yeah nothing wrong with loving, respecting, and praying to Mary. Some liturgy gets so merky where you're like, "are we still taking about Mary or Jesus?"

Theosis, the idea that God wants to be in union with us, not only explains why God descended to Earth, but also why he was conceived through Mary.I understood the connection of Mariology with Christiology, but never saw the Marian dogmas as clearly as I do since seeing this.

Great interview 👍

This is such wonderfull teaching. You cant love Mother Mary enough for what she is for us. Loving Her leads you to Christ, She cannot do something other than lead you to Him. She is saffest way to our Lord, i cant make "my direct" path to Him better or shorter than through Her intersetion. Mother Most Pure pray for us!

This is my favorite video. I’ve been struggling to understand the confusion between my husband and I (we are Catholic/Protestant) when I heard this talk, and it was like a bell went off in my head. We have different understandings of Christ’s mission. 🤯 thank you

They say this as if it's supposed to be convincing to protestants... As one I'm personally finding it harder and harder to follow this channel the more I hear them defend their Catholic dogmas, or just attack Protestants in general. To be honest, I'm always a bit nervous that I'll be hit with a zinger and be convinced to convert, but once I hear the argument I'm always SO disappointed that there's just nothing of substance. We're supposed to pray to Mary because being "Christlike" apparently means literally being Christ, and literally loving his mother like she's our mother. That's a pretty ridiculous stretch in my opinion. If I wanted to be like my boss at work because he's a good man and I want to follow in his footsteps, I wouldn't call his mom every night. Not to mention I'm still not sold on the idea that any deceased human person is in heaven receiving prayers. This and that one girl recently who said Christianity is only Catholic in Israel so it "feels" more true (sorry Martin Luther didn't try to conquer the Holy Land I guess??), and "there's no intellect in protestant churches", has all really pushed me away from Catholicism more than I think you guys realize. The Catholics I meet in real life are intelligent and agreeable, but I guess I was wrong to expect the same from online figures.

Insulting protestants as though we “do not understand Christianity.” Is not the way to go. We might explain to you how you do that understand what worship “is” because when your heart and trust depend on the mother of Christ it is by definition worship. This video is insulting and ignores the obvious issues with the veneration of Mary that the Reformers have expressed for 500 years.

I love out blessed Mother. I belong to her.

I agree totally, one thing that I would like to say is about our Eucharist. Its the passage from earth to heaven. And i also believe a passage from the old creation to the new, as God came to create again like says in Isaiah. Behold I will come to make new heavens and new earth. Its a great pitty we catholics don't realise this ,or if we do we don't speak about it. And i do love our blessed mother. This man is right, we don't have nothing to apologise for. Was Her ROSARY that helped me understand Christianity.

I'm a Protestant and I have no issue with Mary. She is our spiritual mother, she should be loved as our own mother, and should be held rightly held in a special place of honor. However. I think its reasonable to say that acknowleding that she is ascended to Heaven, is immaculate, is co-mediator and co-redeemer with Christ is an entierly other bridge to cross.

Fireee 🔥🔥🔥

Matt - EWTN's Fr. Patrick Mary just finished his Thesis on St. maximillian Kolbe's writings on the Blessed Virgin Mary. He has SO many things to say about this topic. He would be an amazing guest to have on.

Great interview ❤

Everything we know about Mary, comes from Jesus. And the more we know about Mary, the more she leads us back to Jesus.

I love his fervor. I love this clip!

I really believe that the Virgin Mary was one the greatest woman to exist. However, in relation to John 19:26-27, in the Jewish society a woman would be ostracized if she wasn't taken care by a man and because our Lord was the only son, and Mary was a widow, that's why Jesus asked John to take care of her. Furthermore in John 2:1 as you said, John says "The mother of Jesus". Clearly John had been living with the Virgin Mary before writing the Gospel, and he doesnt say "Our mother, the mother of christians catholics" he says "The mother of Jesus". Jesus never calls Mary "Mom or Mother" and not only calls "woman" to Mary (if you think that that proofs your point of Genesis 3:15), but also to other women whom He interacted such as the samaritan woman and Mary Magdalene. Furthermore, in Luke 11:27-28 He clearly says "While he was saying this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you!”. But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”. He states that hearing the Word of God and obey it is above being the womb that bore Him. Something similar happens in Matthew 12: 49-50 "And pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother”. Regarding Revelation 12:1 "A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head." The twelve stars, are the twelve apostles/tribes of Israel which represents the Church, not the Virgin Mary. And if you want make a point of what comes after "that she gave birth to a male who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter", it's is metaphoric and can be also the Church, which could be giving "birth" to Christ when spreading the Gospel to all nations. John is writing this way after Jesus birth, and taking this literally it's not possible and also against the basis of christianity, because He was already born and had already died in the Cross. It's so sad, that the "devotion" to the Virgin Mary has gotten worst throughout the history of the Church and even now, it's preventing very good christians to come back to the Catholic Church and have the Eucharist that endures for eternal life (John 6:27). I truly believe, than even the Virgin Mary would never agree nor even ask others to pray to her. Which is worst, I think she would never request others to pray way many more prayers (almost 10:1) directed to her than to the Father, which happens in the rosary, because she definitively was one of the humblest women on earth as Luke 1:48 says.

If there's one Pints With Aquinas video Catholics, Christians should listen to over and over again until they understand what is said, this is the video.

Wasn't really convincing and only confirmed my Protestant view, but that's only my opinion.

Christianity is not about how to get to heaven. That is middle platonism. “Heaven is great, but it’s not the end of the world.” Our scripture teaches something far more attractive and robust. Consider reading NT Wright and rethinking how the ancient Israelites and NT authors really wrote about Christianity. New creation is at the heart of it.

You quote Augustine and then say you don't know if it's accurate but it's true. 😂 Great scholarship.

The focus on Mary gives me the heebiest of heebie-jeebies. It’s not “the” reason I’m not a Catholic but it would probably be in my top 5.

on the topic that Christinity is about theosis with heaven being a consequence of that rather than the goal. a very important implication of the incarnation meriting the salvation of all from its first moment is that the rest of Christs life is about drawing us to Him and showing us how to live a holy life most critically this changes the passion, it isnt about Christ taking the infinite wrath of God for sin, but about teaching us to be obedient to the father and modeling how we are to follow Him

Eesh. Pretty arrogant. And Freudian slip there in the beginning was telling. Jesus did not come to “make man like God”. He most certainly came as “the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world”. Christ came as the greater Adam, to win a people for himself out of the nations and to reconcile man with God. Christ in the Father, the Father in the Son, and we in Christ. If this divine “in one-anotherness” is what is being gestured at with this animated talk of “making man like God” then ok - though if that is what’s meant it is not being very precisely articulated. Solus Christus, Soli Deo Gloria.

Love Mary mother of God! A little uncomfortable with the phrase "you will be like God (or Christ). Think I get what you mean, but all the villains in the world act as though "they be like God". Imitate Christ, but you'll never be Christ.

This is not a Catholic approach. It is Orthodox.

Only Jesus is sinless! For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God!

Bravo Gabi!

It's a Family Thing and so many people are missing out on those Family Member Graces. If someone would trash talk my Dear Mom, there would be fist to cuffs and I don't believe that Our Lord Jesus would take kindly to anyone speaking trash about His Queen Mother Mary. If you claim Jesus Christ has your King, you better be ready to accept His Mother as Queen Mother, because factually She is. Look at the Early Church Father's and you will find this to be true. This is why the Family is under such a huge attack. The enemy knows it's about The Holy Family, and Our Mother Mary wears Compat Boots and She's going to Crush the snakes head. Viva Cristo Rey

Or Joseph! Protodulia man!

Nobody has a 'problem with Mary'. We have a problem with demonstrably false teachings about Mary, and with the Catholic obsession with worshipping-but-not-technically-worshipping her. If you pray the rosary then you spend more time praying to Mary than to God. That's nuts. Sorry Catholics if I 'hit you with a 2x4'.

I know Catholics dont worship Mary, but they are OBSESSED with her. I believe it comes from the influence of medieval chivalry. They view themselves as knights going off to battle and Mary as the beautiful, feminine, and pure maiden. Its much more appealing than being a servant to God. This is also why I think they claim Mary remained a virgin her whole life, and why they never mention Joseph.

😂😂 "and we are gonna win"? Okay? By the way, were y'all pulling these things from? Cos that's not in the Bible i read.

Sooooo.... Yes, you worship Mary? Not asking if you honor her; do you worship her as a god?

We don't call our mother by her first name ,neither should Catholics refer to Our Blessed Lady as Mary .There are many suitable alternatives for the Blessed Virgin,which would be much more reverential.

❤️‍🩹🙏❤️

Christ did not reflect His mother but His Father. She was a fallible human like us all. If that can be denied, then Christianity never needed Christ. We are to reflect His nature by respecting our elders and parents, but we shouldn’t carry that to Mary beyond that which we’d extend to anybody else. The argument that Christ had a certain relationship with her, and thus we should to be like Him, is so simplistic that it also implies we must also seek carpentry, have his same social group, live in the same region, or die in the same way. We are to take the lessons and apply them to those in *our* lives in the same way.

Revelation 12 does not say that the dragon waged war against the woman. The theologian guest misquoted it. The dragon waged war against those who follow Christ. And while I'm here, let me mention something Catholics get wrong about Mary. She is not a perpetual virgin. If she and Joseph had never consummated their union they would not have been legally married, and Jesus would have been considered an illegitimate child (but that never came up). The Bible also explicitly says Jesus had siblings. Another subtle but important point is that it's wrong to call Mary the mother of God. God does not have a mother. Jesus the man has a mother of course, which is what the Bible calls her 'the mother of Jesus'. A couple other problems with Catholic practice is that the Bible actually warns us about those who would come into the church prohibiting some to marry and prohibiting certain foods. And further, we are told to call no man Father except THE Father.

All these Prot comments prove his point. You don’t understand how the faith works or what worship actually is.

This guy is spot on. Protestantism does not resemble traditional Christianity in any way, shape or form. It is simply "new age spiritualism" and he is rightly pointing out that they are heretical.

Below is an excerpt from the Legion of Mary handbook. “Sometimes Mary is kept in the background so as to meet the prejudices of those who make small account of her. This method of making Catholic doctrine more acceptable may accord with human reasonings. It does not reflect the Divine idea. Those who act in this way do not realise that they might as well preach Christianity without Christ as ignore Mary’s part in redemption. For God himself has thought fit to arrange that no foreshadowing or coming or giving or manifestation of Jesus should be without Mary. (Legio Mariae pg 273)”

Hebrews 4:14-16 : "Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmaties; but was in all points tempted as we are , yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. " No Mary, all Jesus. 1. John 5:21 : "Little children, guard yourselves from idols. "

Only Jesus is sinless!!!

The guest seems to be describing a new age style unleash the Christ from within belief system. It's thru Christ's death and resurrection that we are saved alone. God is an example that no man ot woman could ever come close to

I think a lot of us would find this pretty reasonable if the Roman Catholic church didn’t keep adding stuff later like the immaculate conception and the assumption.

Do you get to Heaven thru Christ or Mary?

Only evil people hate our blessed Mother Mary!

Ehhh I get it, but I feel catholics take it too far with Mary. They seem to add more and more stuff

Mary referred to God as her saviour (Luke 1:46-55). Only a sinner needs a saviour.

I deny Jesus

Ahh yes, the classic "You just don't understand." Totally haven't heard that one before... Seriously guys, please come up with good arguments at least? Telling people, "You dont understand all of Christianity" isn't convincing or very charitable either. You have to understand both sides of the argument to be able to make good appeals. This isn't it. Edit: Jesus came to both atone and sanctify, Protestants believe that. Your words are falling flat because you don't understand who you are talking about. You don't even know the arguments to use.

Matt sometimes it feels like you are not a real catholic, and you are more worried about losing your protestants subscribers

protestants scream: "I can speak to Jesus directly. We don't need Mary." "Mary isn't in the bible."

This guy just doesnt understand Christianity.

Jesus himself proclaims Mary as without sin when he refers to her as "woman". Examples of this in scripture are often cited as lessening Mary's role. In fact, it is the opposite. It confirms that she was without sin when Jesus referred to her as "woman" from the cross, that she was conceived without original sin and that she was the Ark of the new covenant. How? "Eve" was only referred to as "woman" In Genesis prior to the eating of the fruit from the tree of good and evil. After the fall she is called "Eve". In other words, Mary as "woman" was and is without sin. She is also proclaimed hereby, at the cross, as the mother of us all and as our mother she loves us, protects us and makes intercession for us in heaven. As "Eve" led all of us away from God's throne our Holy Mother Mary brings all of us "poor banished children of Eve" back. Our Lord's own words confirm our Holy Mother Mary's role.

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God". That includes Mary. An addled-brained "pope" declared that she was without sin.

PURE BLASPHEMY AND HERESY THAT GOD INTENDS FOR A PERSON TO BECOME A GOD…CRAZY AND UTTER BLASPHEMY
