7:44 it says HE shall crush your head, not they.

Typology is for Christ. Not for circular arguments surrounding Mary.

Mother Mary was not in the gospels because they were written before she passed. She was among the Apostles when they wrote their accounts. The Marian doctrines are as sound as the doctrine of the Trinity. The hermeneutics and extrapolations to found the doctrine of the Trinity is valid and the conclusion of the Trinity is sound dogma; the same is true with Mother Mary. The Scriptures do present the basis for Mary and they do it very clearly if one looks with an honest openness in their mind for the love of God, Jesus and the foreshadowing of Mary as the Ark of the New Covenant. God was exponentially specific about the perfection of the Ark of the Covenant and that was for flour and stone; how much more perfect must be the vessel for God’s Son!!!??? That’s almost enough by itself for me.

Mary referred to God as her Savoir in Mary's Song Luke 47 "And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." She knew she needed a Savoiur.

Thank you for this life of Fr Al God Father thank you over over over & over!!! Great show super inspiring.

I had been stuck in the dark night of the sense for 18 years. It seems like I am finally making progress. I will soon transition from the dark night of the sense to the dark night of the spirit. I heard the dark night of the spirit is worser than the dark night of the senses.

Was that quote by Luther before or after the church kicked him out? If before then of course he believed church teaching

Mary is Just a Woman!! No More!! Catholicism is Heretical

O Radix Jesse...veni ad liberandum nos, jam noli tardare!

Praise be Jesus Christ. Now and Forever. Matthew thank God for your ministry and abiding in God’s Will. Along with Jesus our Lord and Savior, Blessed Virgin Mary who were born sinless. Am I correct in saying the “man” and “woman” of the Garden of Eden, Samson and St. John the Baptist are the 4 others in sacred scripture born sinless? All Glory be to God.

Brant the charlatan of catholicism. No gospel truth in him

Genesis 3:15 is in NOWAY shape or form speaking of Mary

Why would Luther's beliefs rock your world. Just shows your span of belief in the Holy Word.

The immaculate conception dogma is missing from the earliest patristic sources. Mary didn’t even enter into the picture of theological disputes of the church fathers until the upsurge of Christological heresies and the impulse of asceticism and monasticism in church history. Catholic scholar, Ludwig Ott, admits: “Neither Greek nor Latin Fathers explicitly teach the Immaculate Conception of Mary” (Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, Tan Publishers, 1960, p. 201) The New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967, 7:378-81) states that: “…the Immaculate Conception is not taught explicitly in Scripture … the earliest church Fathers regarded Mary as holy but not as absolutely sinless … It is impossible to give a precise date when this belief was held as a matter of Faith, but by the 8th or 9th century, it seems to have been generally admitted…” Even after then, controversies over this dogma raged on for a whole 1000 years with the Dominicans fighting the Franciscans over the issue. The so-called “infallible authority” of Rome was neutral on the issue. Even a 19th century Catholic bishop admitted: “The Church does not decide the controversy concerning the Conception of the Blessed Virgin, and several other disputed points, because she sees nothing clear and certain concerning them either in the written or unwritten Word, and therefore leaves her children to form their own opinions concerning them” (Cited in George Salmon, The Infallibility of the Church, 182) This proves that this dogma was a very late development and had just been around only about 150 years. It can’t be supported either with the Bible or traditions.

Dear Dr. Pitre Brant I really love your books and by extension I love you?

From Florianópolis, SC, Brazil.

Scripture does not teach this and it's not at all Truth.

There is no real scriptural reference to any of the 4 Marian dogmas

Father, I wish that every parish priest would listen to you and adopt some of your suggestions. Bishop Sheen seems to have drawn all his strength and inspiration from Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

Scripture says, "Be still and know that I am God."

Jesus has shown me that He will break through to us even when we've been shameful. He wants you to know that He really loves us.

St. John of the Cross, his experiences with unkindness and misunderstanding are conditions to which we all can relate. Relationship with Jesus is strengthened and can even be elevated by Jesus' infinite creativity when one focuses on fulfilling our commitment to prayer with stubborn faithfulness when some unpleasant situation tries to destroy it.

This is a false doctrine. This is purely connected to Roman pagan belief in gods and goddesses This is paganism.

Matthew, you did a very good job here. And you’re making good content that’s accurate and enlightening. I like your explanation of complete and total Enmity between the woman and the serpent.

In context, God was speaking of and to Eve throughout Genesis 3: 14-20, not another woman. The seed of the Serpent is the lie/deceit and the seed of the woman would be the Truth (Jesus). Meaning: out of the loins of Eve (the mother of all living) would come forth the Truth. Mary was a young girl (alma) when she had conceived Jesus by the Holy Spirit.

If, according to the Bible, that Jesus had brothers and sisters, it just shows that God allowed Joseph and Mary to lead a normal Jewish family life while Jesus was growing up. Joseph must have supported his family while working as a carpenter and Mary was a housewife taking care of Jesus and her other children at home.

The Immacute Heart of Mary woll Triumph ❤

May God grant me clarity to unlearn all the anti-Catholic teachings that were pounded into my head as a child. Belief in the Immaculate Conception could also be traced back to the prophet Elijah. The Bible says that no one may enter the Kingdom who is sinful, and we know Elijah was taken up directly into heaven without suffering death, so it’s only right to imagine the Mother of God could also have some miraculous qualities that don’t pertain to logic or the rest of us.

Does that include when you start to cry out off nowhere? When you’re praying and you’re fine, but you just start crying. ??

No such thing as immaculate conception in the bible: to say such a thing is to nullify what the bible says in, Roman's 3:23! To say that Mary lived her entire life, perfect and witout sin, is like making the Spirit of God into a liar, since only Jesus lived a sinless life! Please don't lie to people,with such heresy?

Typology is good and useful and has scriptural roots for affirming theology, but if your only bases for a theology is typology than it’s objective opinion. Almost every typology of Christ has either a parable or plain teaching. For example, Christ is the ram that replaced Issac, the teachers teach He was our sacrifice “And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Heb. 10:10

Haggerty...Happy Saint John of Cross feast Day

You people are really crazy to believe something like that. Repent.

dead sea scrolls are not scripture

Was Mary's mother a virgin too? how does Mary's dad fit into the situation?

Dr. Pitre, in what order should a non-believer read all your books?

Amen and Amen

Liar. Immaculate conception is a doctrine of men. NOT God's Word. Not found, nor founded in scripture period. What is not true is a LIE.

"Enmity," "Full of Grace," "overshadowed," these are all studies in semantics. The theology of the Trinity, while not found in the Bible, is a compilation of Holy Scripture, not just a personal interpretation of words in the Bible. I have no problem with a person wishing to believe this is how the incarnational God put a barrier between Himself and sinful human nature, but to require this as a universal belief of the church, is inappropriate. Where God placed the barrier, either in himself, or His mother, or His Grandmother, for that fact, is not what salvation is about, but pure speculation.

the worship of mary is an abomination to God. brandt pitre is a liar and a false teacher.

The Church is right to consider Joseph as one of the greatest saints. He knew he would not be able to touch Mary (2Sam 6 Uzza was struck dead for touching the Ark of the Covenant) because he was not a high priest; and yet had to show to the world that he was Mary's real husband and Jesus' real father. He really sacrificed as much as Mary.

It is unthinkable how any one can still harbour hatred/disrespect toward the holy mother after such clear explanation.

First time watcher. Mr. Leonard looks like Catholic John Cena.

Great summary overall. FYI, Solomon wasn't David's 1st son (4:55). Always double-check your Scripture. Little slip ups like that betray "junior scholar" status.

i woke up to this video playing at 1am on my phone. it is now 3am and i have rewatched it to understand this mans journey. incredible. thanks be to God. i gotta get to work. thank you so much. God bless.

Excelent video. Thank God!

If Mary was perfect and sinless, why did she need to offer up two turtledoves at the temple as sin offering after having a baby and going through the prescribed purification of the Law?
