Forbidding marriage (e.g. of priests) is "doctrines of demons". Catholics discourage people from reading the Bible which is Satanic..that's why many don't as you noted. Most Catholics don't seem to care about sin and holiness which the Bible emphasizes. They don't seem to understand if they have saving faith, they have the Holy Spirit which is the spirituality presence of God with/in us, not in the church building or in relics. They practice idolatry which breaks 1 of the 10 commandments which commandment they conveniently leave out! And they don't seem to grasp Jesus wants a deep personal relationship with us, not religion.

We have redemption through his blood and forgiveness of sins. That doesn't mean all sin is the same. A five year old that steals a candy bar from the store is not the same level as a mass murderer. Read 1 John 5:16-17.

I want this guy to open his bible and tell me how many books of the NT he has, and what are their names. If he responds with 27 and says it is Matt-Revelations, then I am interested as to who told him that? If he goes to an Ethiopian orthodox church, he will see their NT has more books. Why does he believe his NT is the proper canon and not the Ethiopian one? This is the irony of the certain protestants. If you accept the 27 books of the NT, you are accepting the books canonized by the Catholic church. How can you can dismiss the catholic church yet accept the books they chose to be in the Bible?

[@IdontKnow-jt2oz]

I haven’t finished his vid but some Protestants simply began as reformed Catholics. The Biblical canon wasn’t something that needed to be reformed, and as such was kept post reformation

[@eze-cs]

Because I believe that Jesus was the Word, being the message of the kingdom, meaning the message within the original transcripts is sufficient! Just as such, I believe that the Word has been *thoroughly preserved and is reliable* throughout the years, and the modern Catholic church isn't the same as the one that once started, introducing new doctrines, words, and beliefs that are provably unbiblical! You are not saved by the eucharist or by deeds, you can see Ephesians 2 for that! Rather its to know the Way, the Truth, and the Life, which is not the Roman Catholic Church, but Jesus Christ!

[@almightyformula]

Catholic Church upholds that there are three deposits of faith which are the sources of the church Doctrines: Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium. The sacred Tradition is a tradition of the Apostles which passes on to the present church. Eg living a communial life which is characterized by praying and sharing things in common, you remember the story of Ananias and Saphira in Acts 5. You can study the Acts of Apostles from Chapter 2... The Sacraments, Jesus gave them mandate to carry out some functions - Preaching the Gospel, Baptizing... the Holy Eucharist.. Luke 22:19 "Do this in memory of me".The Tradition was transmitted orally - wasn't written. You have to know there are so many things that were not written according to the closing remark of the Gospel of John (21:25). Even St. Paul mentioned several times the tradition in his letters especially letter to Thessalonians ( 2Th 2:15) “So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter” Don't forget that people existed before the canonization of the bible and had tradition which was passed on to the church today. Even Infant baptism the Protestants argue in the broadly seen in Acts of Apostles 10.. about Cornelius and his household Sacred Scripture on the other hand was written and inspired by the Holy Spirit - 2 Tim 3:16-17 which of course forms the foundation to others... While the Magisterium is the teaching authority of the church by the Pope or bishops. The teaching in this vein has its whole essence from both the Sacred Traditionn and Sacred Scripture. The Magisterium gives opportunity for the faithful to properly educated in the Church faith. We can also talk about Apostlic Succession, it will interent you to note that Peter was the first Pope in the history of the Catholic Church; in fact, he died and was buried in Roman where the current Pope is... His Holiness, Pope Francis is the current successor of St. Peter. The succession process continues like that until the end of time.

[@rebeccajoseph2705]

Think of it like this the Romans didn’t believe in God so how is it that you follow something or a belief that didn’t believe in God. Remember Satan is the author of all lies. You guys need to learn to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth instead of being so defensive based on the way that you were brought up because only God can revealed that to you.

[@joinjen3854]

Romanism = Jesus+ Mary+ Works+ Confession + Transsubstantiation + rosaries +++++. Real Christ followers = Christ alone.

[@hismajesty6272]

I have a few questions, if you’ll give me the pleasure of engaging. 1: do you take scripture literally? If so, Transsubstantiation is Biblical, and we should treat Communion as sacred, because Jesus literally commands us to eat his body and drink his blood. 2: are you familiar with the Biblical teachings on faith and works? If so, you’ll recall that it is written that “faith without works is dead” 3: how on earth are Catholics not real Christ followers? If they have some traditions you find odd but literally worship the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, they are by definition Christian

[@joinjen3854]

@hismajesty6272 did Yeshua Jesus serve up His own flesh and blood to his disciples at The Last Suoper???! NO! He served bread and wine IN REMEMBRANCE. Romanism always kills Him in every Mass. You VIOLATE Revelation 22 by adding on and taking away. There are DOZENS of things about Romanism that are unbiblical or extra Biblical.

[@proudpatriot6567]

[@paynedv]

According to Scripture, Christ founded a visible Church that would never go out of existence and had authority to teach and discipline believers (see Matt. 16:18-19, 18:17). St. Paul tells us this Church is “the pillar and foundation of truth” (1 Tim. 3:15) and it was built on “the foundation of the apostles” (Eph. 2:20). Paul also tells us the Church would have a hierarchy composed of deacons (1 Tim. 3:8-13); presbyters, from where we get the English word priest (1 Tim. 5:17); and bishops (1 Tim. 3:1-7). Paul even instructed one of these bishops, Titus, to appoint priests on the island of Crete (Titus 1:5). In A.D. 110, St. Ignatius of Antioch told his readers, “Follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop.” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8) Unlike the apostles, Christ’s Church would exist for all ages, so the apostle’s passed on to their successors the authority to bind and loose doctrine (see Matt. 18:18), forgive sins (see John 20:23), and speak on behalf of Christ (see Luke 10:16). Acts 1:20, for example, records how after Judas’s death Peter proclaimed that Judas’s office (or, in Greek, his bishoporic) would be transferred to a worthy successor. In 1 Timothy 5:22, Paul warned Timothy to “not be hasty in the laying on of hands” when he appointed new leaders in the church. At the end of the first century, Clement of Rome, who according to ancient tradition was ordained by Peter himself, wrote, “Our apostles knew through our Lord Jesus Christ that there would be strife for the office of bishop . . . [so they made preparations that] . . . if they should die, other approved men should succeed to their ministry” (Letter to the Corinthians 44:1-3). Just as the apostles’ authority was passed on their successors, Peter’s authority as the leader of the apostles and the rock on whom the Church was built (Matt 16:18) was passed on to his successor. This man inherited the keys to the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 16:19) and Peter’s duty to shepherd Christ’s flock (see John 21:15-17). Peter’s successor was the pastor of Christ’s church and a spiritual father to the Lord’s children (1 Cor. 4:15), thus explaining his offices future title pope, which comes from papa, the Latin word for father. Myth #2 - The Bishop of Rome had no special authority in the early Church. Peter was never even in Rome! Both the New Testament and the early Church Fathers testify to Peter being in Rome. At the end of his first letter, Peter says he is writing from “Babylon” (5:13), which was a common code word for Rome, because both empires were lavish persecutors of God’s people (see Rev. 17-18; Oxford Dictionary of the Popes, 6). In the words of Protestant scholar D.A. Carson, Peter was “in Rome about 63 (the probable date of 1 Peter). Eusebius implies that Peter was in Rome during the reign of Claudius, who died in 54 (H.E. 2.14.6)” (An Introduction to the New Testament, 180). Peter may not have always been present in Rome (which would explain why Paul does not address him in his epistle to the Romans), but there is a solid tradition that Peter founded the Church in Rome and later died there. For example, Paul says the Roman Church was founded by “another man” (Rom. 15:21), and St. Ignatius of Antioch told the Christians in Rome he would not command them in the same way Peter had previously commanded them. At the end of the second century, St. Irenaeus wrote, “The blessed apostles [Peter and Paul], having founded and built up the church [of Rome], they handed over the office of the episcopate to Linus” (Against Heresies 3:3:3). A priest named Gaius who lived during Irenaeus’s time even told a heretic named Proclus that “the trophies of the apostles” (i.e., their remains) were buried at Vatican Hill (Eusebius, Church History 2:25:5). Indeed, archaeological evidence unearthed in the twentieth century revealed a tomb attributed to Peter underneath St. Peter’s basilica in Rome. According to the Oxford Dictionary of Saints, “it is probable that the tomb is authentic. It is also significant that Rome is the only city that ever claimed to be Peter’s place of death” (353). In regard to the authority of the Bishop of Rome as Peter’s successor, in the first century Clement of Rome (the fourth pope) intervened in a dispute in the Church of Corinth. He warned those who disobeyed him that they would “involve themselves in transgression and in no small danger,” thus demonstrating his authority over non-Roman Christians. St. Ignatius of Antioch referred to the Roman Church as the one that teaches other churches and “presides in love” over them. In fact, the writings of Pope Clement (A.D. 92-99) and Pope Soter (A.D. 167-174) were so popular that they were read in the Church alongside Scripture (Eusebius, Church History 4:23:9). In A.D. 190, Pope St. Victor I excommunicated an entire region of churches for refusing to celebrate Easter on its proper date. While St. Irenaeus thought this was not prudent, neither he nor anyone else denied that Victor had the authority to do this. Indeed, Irenaeus said, “it is a matter of necessity that every Church should agree with this Church [Rome] on account of its preeminent authority” (Against Heresies, 3.3.2). Keep in mind that all of this evidence dates a hundred to two hundred years before Christianity was legalized in the Roman Empire, thus deflating the Fundamentalist theory that the papacy was created by the Roman emperor in the fourth century. Some people object that if Peter and his successors had special authority, why didn’t Christ say so when the apostles argued about “who was the greatest” (Luke 22:24)? The reason is that Christ did not want to contribute to their misunderstanding that one of them would be a privileged king. Jesus did say, however, that among the apostles there would be a “greatest” who would rule as a humble servant (Luke 22:26). That’s why since the sixth century popes have called themselves servus servorum Dei, or “servant of the servants of God.” Pope Gregory I used the title in his dispute with the Patriarch of Constantinople John the Faster, who called himself the “Universal Bishop.” Gregory didn’t deny that one bishop had primacy over all the others, since in his twelfth epistle Gregory explcitly says Constaninople was subject to the authority of the pope. Instead, he denied that the pope was the bishop of every individual territory, since this would rob his brother bishops of their legitimate authority, even though they were still subject to him as Peter’s successor.

As a Protestant, I support Catholicism. It’s a far better institution than most Evangelical churches, and has stood the test of time as a pillar of God’s kingdom on Earth. God bless you, my brother in Christ.

[@EdwardGraveline]

Jesus started just one church. Matthew 16 says, “Upon this rock (He told Simon-Peter whose name He changed) I will build MY CHURCH. Just one. Ephesians 4 says, “There is one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all.” John 17, Jesus prayed “that we would all be one, as You and I are One.” When Martin Luther died in 1546, there were over 100 Christian churches all teaching different doctrines. How many different doctrines do Protestants and Evangelicals have? 10? 20? Once saved, always saved? Many Christian churches teach this, but many say no. Faith alone saved you? Again, many say yes, but many say no. Matthew 5:18 says For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. That is why there is no such thing as more important doctrines and less important ones. The Church, St Paul says in 1 Tim 3:15, “is the pillar and foundation of truth,” Not the Bible. We know it is the Catholic Church because John the Apostle went to Antioch, converted a man named Ignatius, and made him Bishop. Ignatius got captured and sent to Rome to be eaten by lions. On the trip, he wrote to the Smyrneans, “Where the Bishop is, there is Jesus Christ, and there is the Catholic Church. 110AD

For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5 Praying to Mary and the saints is BLASPHEMY

[@bibleman8010]

"I urge then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings, for all those in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and holiness. This is good and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus." 1Timothy 2:1-5❤ Jesus is the one Mediator of our salvation, our only Saviour. But He is not our only intercessor, as the whole passage above clearly indicates. So the one passage that fundamentalists have used to deny intercessionary prayer, when read in context, actually backs up intercessionary prayer. James 5: 16-18 " ...The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful. Elijah was a human being like us; yet he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain upon the land. Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the earth produced its fruit." So we see that intercession strengthens prayer. And the more righteous and faithful the intercessor is, the more powerful the prayer. BUT THAT IS PRAYER ON EARTH. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT PEOPLE IN HEAVEN CAN NEITHER SEE US OR PRAY FOR US. That is a recent, man-made doctrine, with no authority behind it. Hebrews 12.1 speaks of "a great cloud of witnesses" who surround us, and who consist of the faithful holy ones of God. Many examples of these witnesses are given in the preceding Chapter 11 of Hebrews. Later in the Bible we see this vision of heaven: Revelation 4.4: Surrounding the throne were twenty four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. Revelation 5.8: ...and the twenty four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. Seeking Mary's intercession probably dates back to the earliest Christians. One of the oldest Christian prayers recorded in writing, the Sub Tuum, from the 200s AD, is a prayer to Mary: We fly to your patronage, O holy Mother of God. Despise not our petitions in our necessities, But deliver us from all dangers, O ever-glorious and Blessed Virgin!

Matt.13 55+56 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us?

Did you father told u how he slept with ur mom to give birth to u must he give record about how the sex and groan u mom was making ??? 🤷🤦😔

[@ciscodeleon4156]

Mary is called full of grace. The early chapters of the gospel of Luke resemble the events of the Arc of the covenant in the OT. The Arc of the covenant was called the Holy of Holies because it contains God's 10 commandments. God wanted no man to touch it so that it remains stain free. If God wanted his word in stone to be kept away from sin, what more for his Word made flesh? Mary being a virgin is also an indication that God wanted a sinless womb for Jesus. Jesus could have been born a 2nd child, but no, God chose a virigin woman simply because he really wanted no sin to touch her. If you are going to say Mary had sin then you are implying God loved his stones more than his own son. Brothers can also mean cousins as shown with Lot and Abraham. If Jesus had any siblings, why would he give mary to john when they would legally be the ones to take care of her?

[@clivejames5058]

Addressing the perpetual virginity of Mary - The term “until” (Greek, heōs) commonly indicated a particular state existed to a certain point and is used in many parts of Scripture. For instance: In 2 Samuel 6:23, Saul’s daughter Michal scoffed at King David’s enthusiasm for the Lord, and we read that she had no child “until” the day of her death. The word in the Septuagint Greek translation of the Old Testament is heōs. The passage does not mean Michal had a child after the day of her death. It means she never had children. We see the same in the New Testament. In Matthew 13:33, Jesus tells a parable in which he says, “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.” The use of “till” (heōs) does not mean that the leaven was later taken out of the flour. Similarly, in Matthew 14:22, Jesus is at the Sea of Galilee and “he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while [heōs] he dismissed the crowds.” This does not mean that the disciples turned around and returned to shore as soon as Jesus dismissed the crowds. They continued their journey to the other side, which resulted in their meeting Jesus as he was walking on the water (Matt. 14:25). Similarly, in Matthew 1:25, the evangelist’s point is that Joseph did not have sex with Mary before Jesus was born. His concern is to emphasise the virgin birth, not to address what happened later. This is consistent with the uses of “until” (heōs) documented above.

Also greek for "sisters" (Jesus sisters) actually means sisters, not cousins. So Jesus at least had sisters. Also. Dumb examples u mentioned. 2nd samuel example: The lady who didn't have kids until her death. We know she didnt have kids because after her death the possibility of having kids dissapears. So thats a certain. But of joseph and mary. He "knew" her until after Jesus was born. The possibility of sex doesnt dissapear. JESUS had sisters!! And no where in the bible, is it explicitly said that mary had no sex. Why didnt john clearly state "mary and joseph had zero sex"?.instead he had to mention "until" for a reason. And Jesus had sisters. And nowhere in the bible is it clear and direct mary was forever virgin. Logically, it makes more sense that mary was not perpetual virgin. Unless you do a bunch of mental gymnastics

[@thovenach]

Pual preached on the gospel and you take his word as authority. Remember his letters were speaking about the good news of the 4 gospels. He was speaking with authority that was given to him as well as the apostles to speak with. This Authority came from Jesus. The Authority of the Church put pauls letters into the new testament. Not the Bible. We don't deny that Jesus' Sacrifice was sufficient. It was sufficient but you must participate in your salvation. You can't just say I can do whatever I want to reach salvation. You persevere in your salvation till the end. James talks extensively that your faith is dead without works and your works are dead without faith. They go hand in hand. Catholics have the same gospel they have had till the year 1500. Yet the oldest christian denominations still have the same gospel but Michael has a different gospel. I would trust the longer standing Christian traditions rather than Michaels interpretation of what the Word of God is. Michael attempts to speak with authority but simply lacks any apostolic authority and that is why he would never actually win a debate with a Catholic apologist. His arguments are weak and ill informed.

She committed sins as it is in the Bible as she stated my Lord my Savior door for that should tell you that she needed her saver just like we all do, she forgive us of our sins for Catholics pray to the dead he should not be praying to the dead because they’re dead. You only pray to the heavenly father and five purgatory there is no purgatory it’s not in the Bible catechism made it up thinking that you know you need to purify your wash your soul, and cleanse your soul There’s no intermediate state either. You’re not forgiven of your sins or you are and you enter the kingdom of heaven only by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ these are the things that’s what they’re talking about kind of sick catechism goes against the word of God, and the teachings.

Jesus IS God and Jesus LITERALLY commands us to "eat his body, drink his blood.". John 6 or the Synoptics' accounts of the Last Supper, or Paul's presentation in 1 Cor 11: 24-31 is not JUST symbolic. The Eucharist symbolizes what it actually is. The Real Presence, that Christ is present, Body and Blood, Human Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist is one of the most Scripturally based Catholic teachings, even from a Sola Scriptura basis! No Christian who actually was a Christian (and not a matter hating Gnostic) denied the Real Presence until Berengarius of Tours (died c. 1061); Per Saint Thomas Aquinas, Berengarius was the “the first deviser of this heresy,” (Summa Theologica, IIIa, q.75, a.1) for just over 1000 years! ALL major schisms from the Catholic Church PRIOR to the Protestant Revolt maintained the Doctrine of the Real Presence ,even before Transubstantiation was dogmatically proclaimed in 1215 (Nestorians, Copts, Monophysites, Eastern Orthodox). The full-out denial of the Real Presence had to wait until Ulrich Zwingli and the Anabaptist Churches post-1517. Luther strongly defended the Real Presence, and even Calvin did so, albeit under the latter’s rather tenuous “spiritual only” presence.

@@theextreme7134 This is exactly the misunderstanding of the unbelieving Jews and Disciples at Capernaum. One year later, the faithful 11 were rewarded with a Real Sacramental Presence; Jesus' blood and body really present in a veiled, hidden way.

Per strong rabbinical Tradition, both Mishnah and Talmud, in the Messianic age, all Sacrifices will cease except the "todah", which is the daily priestly offering of bread and wine, the thanksgiving, the Eucharist. Under the appearances ( accidents) of Bread and wine, the glorified Christ as both priest and victim is present, offering the thanks giving that saves one from sin and eternal death. "Chamboura" a Jewish Middle East ritual meal of bread and wine in the initiation AND re-presenting of a covenant, fitting Eucharistic theology magnificently.

[@justfromcatholic]

First "false" doctrine: denial of Scripture as supreme authority. Scripture is neither self defined nor self interpreted. There is no single verse in the entire Scripture that tells us how many and which books belong to Scripture. The fact that Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and Protestants have different number of books in OT shows that they rely on the authority of their church to decide. As for authority of Tradition one can read 2 Thes 2.:15 - NT is written Tradition. If Scripture is self-interpreted then under the guidance of the same Holy Spirit everybody must arrive at the same interpretation. In reality they end up with different and sometimes conflicting ones. This is there reason why need Magisterium or Teaching authority. Even Mike Gendron and Costi Hihn rely on the teaching authority of the Reformed church. Second "false" doctrine: Catholics believe in different Jesus who did not finish His redemptive work on the cross. Gendron and Hihn follow the Reformers who taught that through faith alone they get Christ' righteousness imputed on or counted on them while all their sins (past, present and future) are imputed on or counted on Christ, who bore them on the cross. They remain sinner and righteous externally based on that of Christ. Christ remains sinless while counted as sinner as their sins are counted on Him. However Scripture denies double imputation in Ezekiel 18:20: "the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself." Scripture denies that they can be righteous (externally) and sinner at the same time in Ezekiel 33:12: "the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins." Third "false" doctrine: Catholics believe in work-righteousness Gospel. Scripture also says through Christ we are made righteous (Rom. 5:19), not counted as righteous as taught by the Reformers. 1 John 3:7 says "he who does what is right is righteous". Our righteousness comes from God through Christ (Rom. 5:19), through faith as faith is counted as righteousness (Rom. 4:3), as well as through doing what is right (1 John 3:7). Apart from Christ we can do nothing (John 15:5). Why being made righteous is essential? Scripture says it is righteousness that delivers from death (Prov. 10:2) and the righteous shall go to eternal life (Mat. 25:46). We are saved by grace that enables us both to believe and to do what is right that makes us righteous. We lose righteousness through sinning (Ezekiel 33:12 cited above). This is the reason why we need Sacraments (Baptism, Penance and Last rites) and purgatory, through which our sins are forgiven or washed away. According to Scripture full grown sins bring death (James 1:15) and there are deadly and non-deadly sins (1 John 5:16-17). Gendron and Hihn believe in the Gospel that teaches their future sins will not affect their salvation, regardless of the amount and intensity, as they are already imputed on or credited to Christ through faith alone. Who is preaching the true Gospel?

[@justfromcatholic]

@Ptsd Jesus said in John 11:25-26 that whoever believes in Him shall never die. He Himself conversed with Moses and Elijah and so did John with one of the elders in heaven (Rev. 5:5, 7:13-14). Catholics believe in the communion of saints who are on earth, in heaven and in purgatory. In any community a member is not alone but everybody helps and cares one another. We can saints on earth and in heaven to pray for us. Their prayer, be they saints on earth or in heaven will go to God through Christ, the only mediator between God and men.

We Catholics have a proverb always proven true in reality about one’s width of reading, depth of study, and height of understanding of the Bible and where this leads to: “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.” You Evangelicals evangelizing Catholics, I invite you to read, study, and understand the Bible ever more fully. (Emphasis on the "fully," meaning completely from Genesis to Revelation and its biblical theology, not just the isolated clobber texts you are trained to throw at us Catholics!) We Catholics are happy to welcome you home to the original, true and full Christian church, founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.

@Ptsd you are in error and confuse the terms. You are Evangelical. Christian is the broad generic umbrella term referring to those who are baptized and believe in Christ, specifically also in his divinity as the second person in the Trinity (thus disqualifying the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and a few scattered others). Under Christian you have the specific particulars like Orthodox, Protestant, Evangelical, and Catholic. Catholic is the original (read your Bible and history books), true and full Christian church founded by Jesus himself.

[@titaniumsteel9114]

(1) Only the Catholic Church can trace its roots back to Christ Himself. Within a few short years of the Resurrection, the followers of Jesus began calling themselves “Christians” (cf. Acts 11: 26), and by the end of the first century, the word “catholic”-meaning “universal” -was applied to the Church. The idea of different (and sometimes competing) Christian denominations would have been unthinkable to the early Christians, especially in light of Christ’s pronouncement on one shepherd and one flock (John 10:15) and his prayer that his disciples remain one (John 17:22). It was only human weakness and sinfulness that brought about the religious divisions that afflict Christianity today. The Orthodox church drew apart from Rome off and on over several hundred years, finally separating in the fifteenth century, and the various Protestant denominations date back no earlier than the sixteenth century. These churches can trace their roots back to Christ only through the Catholic Church. To put the matter rather bluntly: Why should anyone settle for an imitation when the original is available-especially when it comes to knowing and living the truths necessary for salvation? (2) The Eucharist-the Real Presence of Christ-is not found in Protestant churches. Jesus described himself as the bread of life, stating that whoever eats his flesh and drinks his blood will have life eternal (John 6:54). At the Last Supper he gave the apostles and their successors, the bishops (and through them, validly ordained priests), the power and authority to continue his sacrifice when he said, “Do this in memory of me” (Luke 22:19). The Catholic Church has been obeying Christ’s command for almost two thousand years, and whereas many Christian denominations see the Eucharist mainly in symbolic terms, the Church has consistently taught that it is truly the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ. Moreover, only Catholic and non-Catholic Eastern priests-because of their ordinations-have the sacramental power to consecrate the Eucharist. (Anglican or Episcopalian priests sometimes claim to possess this power, but Pope Leo XIII, after carefully examining this issue some one hundred years ago, concluded that the link of apostolic succession had not been preserved by the Church of England.) Catholics are privileged to be able to receive the treasure beyond all price-Jesus himself-each time they attend Mass. It may be true that many Protestant and Evangelical congregations at times seem to offer a greater sense of fellowship and community, more dynamic preaching, and various activities and programs than the average Catholic parish. These things are all valuable and praiseworthy-but for a Catholic to give them a higher priority than the Eucharist is akin to Esau selling his birthright for a mess of pottage (cf. Gen. 25:29-34). If we truly understood what a wondrous gift the Eucharist is, none of us would even consider ever leaving the Church, and our example would attract many other persons to Catholicism. (3) Unlike other Christians, Catholics have a fully sacramental understanding of God’s saving activity. The word “sacramental” is here used in three different senses. First we have the incarnational sense, which means that God can be known and experienced in and through what he has created. Catholicism has always remembered that God looked upon his creation and pronounced it “good” (cf. Gen. 1:31). So instead of being suspicious of human activity and the material world, the Church has often encouraged people to develop and use their abilities and to do all things for the greater glory of God. It’s no surprise that some of humanity’s greatest art, architecture, and music has been commissioned and preserved by the Church. The second sense of “sacramental” (used here as an adjective) refers to the Eucharist and the other six sacraments, which are visible signs and sources of God’s grace active in the world. God, as our Creator, is fully aware of our human limitations. Because human beings are both body and spirit, the Lord relates to us not only in an invisible, spiritual way but also through the use of human gestures and material items we can see and hear and touch and taste: bread, wine, water, oil, words, and so forth. Most Christians agree on the essential requirement of water for baptism, but Protestants are not consistent in treating as sacraments the other sacred actions Jesus gave to the Church. Thirdly, the noun “sacramental” refers to a blessed item or gesture that, for those who have faith, can be an experience or source of God’s grace. Sacramentals of this sort include holy water, scapulars, crucifixes, medals, rosaries, ashes on Ash Wednesday, the Sign of the Cross, and so on. Sacraments, by God’s promise and power, are effective in and of themselves, whereas sacramentals depend on the disposition of the believer. Though much less important than sacraments, sacramentals can be a valuable source of grace and spiritual favor.
