Warning! You’ve been deceived! The revealing of Jesus is the power of the Holy Spirit- a miracle of God! ‘Understanding’ is merely head knowledge. Salvation is heart knowledge by way of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit-the miracle of salvation! Justification in Christ is the moment-in-time indwelling of the Holy Spirit! That makes you what scripture calls ‘born-again’, the crucial element of salvation. “No man will see the kingdom UNLESS he is born-again”! At that point, you are now a child of God instead of a child of wrath. You sins are forgiven, pass, present and future toward salvation because you are ‘in Christ’ forever. You are now walking in sanctification in which you will still sin but not dive into it. You will have a new relationship not only with Christ, but sin. The sin you once loved, you now hate; the righteousness you once avoided, you now crave. THAT is the miracle of the new birth…a new heart with NEW desires! You now know Jesus and also know that you have eternal life. He wants you to know. This is CRUCIAL! Deny it and you’ve denied the Gospel! As far as the Word; Jesus IS the Word-on legs! “And the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us”. So every single word is true, as Jesus IS the truth. “Truth is a who, not a what’s. Anything that contradicts it is fraudulent/ lies/ calling him a liar. God said, “I change not.” Jesus even said his word was above his name! So it is heretical to discount a single word of scripture. We can not only believe it, but be thankful God cannot lie and has told us what we need to know for Judgement Day. You have yet to be indwelled, which opens your eyes to this supernaturally, or you’d know. So I plead with you, get into the Word to see the character and nature of God, and what He commands we believe. Otherwise, it’s making a God in your own image. It’s all about what HE says is true, and then His power to save you (indwell you making you born of the spirit) upon godly sorrow of sin - repentance, coupled with a desire to stay cleansed and trust Christ now as you savior. When He sees this action of you siding with Him and His word, He’ll fill your heart. You will now be declared saved and a saint! Yep, He calls the born-again Christian’s ‘saints’ because He sees His righteous son in them! This is what evangelicals try to tell Catholics, for those that will humble and listen. You don’t know what you don’t have until you have it. A deceived person doesn’t know what they are deceived about until someone tells them. Let the Word show you! Read it for yourself. Start w/ the Book of John for the clear Gospel, Romans 5 on the propitiation, and I John on the signs of a false convert. You see, it’s all ABOUT Jesus! Not us! We just get to share in Jesus’ glory! And we don’t tag Jesus on to our life. Either He’s your LORD, and us everything, or he isn’t! If so, everything about your life from then on is to glorify him. (And not a false Christ (mark 13:22). He will personally reveal himself to you as Lord and you will want to do EVERYTHING to His glory! He is worthy!

[@andrewclarke3044]

Hi Fr Casey! I spent the past 10 years as a Baptist theologian and recently came into communion into the Church at this year’s past Easter vigil. As I began to develop an interest for theology in college and saw a lot of contradictions in scripture and history compared to Baptist beliefs and other Protestant theology. I eventually came to the conclusion that the Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, or anglician church were the closest to the church of the early fathers. I determined on the Catholic Church. Couldn’t deny it any further. I basically studied my way into the church. Your channel was a huge driving force in my conversion. I love your videos and your down to earth simple approach. I must say I’m a Dominican at heart but gotta love the Franciscans too haha.(im currently in the process to become a lay Dominican) I must say it was a daunting task to summarize Catholic Theology in 10 minutes. But I think you did an excellent job. Especially your summary of Soteriology. It is honesty one of the simplest and most nuanced definition of Catholic Soteriology I’ve heard. Thank You for all you do!

As a fellow Dominican-minded individual, I am humbled by your journey and welcome you to our family! May your pursuit of the beautiful rationality of God’s majestic creation and the mysteries of His divine nature bring you ever closer to His heart.

Theology is a interesting hobby. I find it enthralling to learn how others see the World. The ability of folk to hold various even inconsistent ideas seems part of the Human conditions. I wonder what Fa Casey feels. I'm confident that while an able public communicator he wouldn't believe much of what he asserts. Perhaps when he is older and learns a bit more he'll talk about the more interesting sense of our World.

Jesus never told anyone to become a "Christian", He told people they "must be born again". The disciples were first called "Christians" - a term of contempt - in Antioch and since then all believers in Christ are called Christians but you can only be born again if you repent of your sins, ask Jesus to forgive you those sins and then to trust in Him to save you and make Him Lord over your life. Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, New Apostolic, the NAR (New Apostolic Reformation - i.e. 'name-it-and-claim-it, prosperity gospel people), Catholics are called "christians", i.e. those who practice "Christianity; sleeping in a dog house does not make you a dog....

You mentioned the church determining what went into the bible. If you have time, would you do a video on the differences between the bibles for the denominations? For example, the Coptic bible is different from the Catholic Bible and I believe that the Ethiopian church has the most books out of all the current Christian denominations. Really interesting stuff if you ask me.

[@mrpink8951]

As far as I am aware, the two main things that separate the different Bibles seems to be: 1) how many books to include within the Old Testament, 2) the quality of translation between of each different edition of the Bible; with different translations emphasizing different qualities of translation, such as readability or literal word for word accuracy.

[@Squidwardsangryface]

From what I understand. The Bibles are the same. By that I mean same authors. The difference is some faiths like the Ethiopian Orthodox Church kept every single book that was ever collected in their Bible. I believe the Catholic church removed the Book of Enoch, Jubilee, and Jasher from the cannonized Bible used by the church, due to not being able to find any originals and these books not being in line with the rest of the books, and that these books could have been fake. The leaders in Judaism also removed these books from their Tanakh for the same reason (I believe). The Orthodox church ☦️ broke down the Bible in verses at different points than the Catholic church did, so a chapter number in a Bible used by Orthodox Christians may be be different from that of one used by a Catholic Christian.

[@mikemcnamara3777]

The Counsel in 383 AD decided which books would be in the Bible. It’s historical fact that cannot be refuted. Protestants worldwide should thank The Church for preserving the manuscripts and codifying them. Then defending them until Luther butchered them.

Keep in mind all Christian Bibles have the same 27 New Testament books.

[@SJSknoxville]

One minor addition: As Pope St. John Paul II noted in "Mary and the Drama of Human Death" the idea that Mary did not die is not part of the dogma of the Assumption but a pious belief that entered theological discussion in the 17th century. In fact, Pius XII, in the document that defined the Assumption, cites several church fathers who mention Mary's death. For most of Catholic history and especially in the Eastern Catholic churches today, Mary's death (dormition) is commemorated along with the reunion of her body and soul in her assumption. JPII taught that Mary's Immaculate Conception and status as the new Eve didn't imply she existed in a pre-fallen condition not subject to death, but that if the Son was subject to death, it was fitting that she would be too.

Hello Father Casey. I've been watching your videos for 3 years give or take and got confirmed 4 months ago. I have a question, what is a disabled individual's role in the church? I'm too disabled to get married or join a religious vocation but I have done activism for disability rights in my community. I want to serve God but I don't know if there's anything specific I should do besides just going to mass and receiving the Eucharist.

[@ryansaunders8099]

Great video. The only things I would add in the rapid round are: 1. Public vs private revelation, we are not required to believe in new private revelation but those approved can deepen our devotion, same thing with relics. 2. Orders and religious institutions. There's Pope, cardinals, arch/bishops, priests, deacons, third order, and lay. 3. Different rites, roman vs eastern, etc. 4. Maybe mention more about saints or doctors of the church. Hard to fit everything in a 10 minute video though

[@ryansaunders8099]

Just to add, I think your videos are by far the best to show to incoming Catholics. Also, those in my generation who were poorly catechized. Your videos peaked my interest this past Lent and has GREATLY deepened my spiritual journey these past few months. You're the KZbin I recommend most when talking about Catholicism in practice. Combined with Bishop Robert Barron's more theological content, it's a one two punch! Nice job.

By a singular grace given to her! Jesus saved her on the cross. But see, there is no time conception with God so he did it when she was conceived! Also she is the new arco of the covenant. Meaning he had to preserve her as holy so he could dwell in her! As revelation says no unclean thing can enter into heaven!! God can’t dwell with sin! What makes her the new ark of the covenant? What was in the old? The ten commandments, manna the bread from heaven and Arron’s staff! Jesus is the word John 1, he claimed always to be the bread of life(manna)!

Just a really quick question for any Catholics who are brave enough to engage in conversation. Is Jesus enough? Do I need: Marry, the Saints, Sacraments, a priest, a rosary, a pope, a crucifix, a building/church? I love my wife with all my heart and she knows this. But I like to SHOW her that I love her by doing certain works for her. (Some of which she may ask me to do) I don't HAVE to do these works, but I want to because it's a way for me to express my love for her. If I decide to stop doing those things, will she all of the sudden think "my husband no longer loves me?" No, that would be silly, although she may ask me why I stopped expressing my love. When I volunteer my time and money to my church, I do it because I love God and want to express it. When I try to lead my family to Christ, I do it because he asked me to and because it's the right thing to do. But in no way will I EVER think that I'm working my way to salvation. Because it can't be done. So...Is Jesus enough?

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

This is sort of the either/or thinking that always stumbles Protestants. Is Jesus enough? Yes. You need nothing more in your life, nothing more for salvation. But Jesus gave us his mother (literally on the cross.) He gave us the sacraments. Throughout history God used mediators when he didn’t need to. Do we just ignore those things because Jesus is enough? No! We see them as aids and guides to help us find and follow Jesus. It’s not either/or, but both/and. You are right to worry that we put these things on equal footing as Jesus, but I respectfully find your approach impoverished in that it throws away all of the wonderful gifts God wanted us to have to help us along the way.

[@Wolfspyder5]

​@@BreakingInTheHabit First off; Thank you for responding. While my question may seem crass or "impoverished" as you put it, it doesn't make it any less important for ALL people to know the answer as you do. That answer being, "YES, Jesus IS enough!" Full Stop. As an example, if I ask my catholic grandmother if Jesus is enough, she is unable to answer "yes". This obviously concerns my wife and I because it seems like the message of salvation has become lost on her. That being said, it turns out that a lot of Catholics can't answer this simple question, which should concern all followers of Christ. Here's where things get interesting. You say that all of the things I listed are "gifts, aids and guides". So then why does it seem like catholic church "gifts" are required for salvation? Why does it seem like those who reject the catholic "gifts" are condemned to hell in the eyes of the Catholic church? The only gift we NEED is God's grace through faith? The only aide we need is the Holy Spirit. Is this not enough to put us back in the Fathers good graces so long as we repent of our sins? Shouldn't THAT be taught at the pulpit? Why is my grandma convinced that SHE can work and/or pay money to get someone out of Hell? Or keep herself out of hell? Lastly, you say that 'this causes protestants to stumble' however, I would argue that this is where protestants flourish. We recognize that we've been separated from the Father because of Sin. We recognize that the Holy Spirit will aid us and help keep us on the path. We know that it is because of Christ and ONLY Christ, that we have any hope of salvation. Protestants go straight to the source because the Bible told us that we can go straight tot he source. The Pope, Marry and the saints are NOT the source. Do you deny this? It seems like the Catholic church and her followers have either forgotten these core principles or intentionally leave them out in order to guilt its members into never leaving. This brings a whole new meaning to "The Truth Will Set You Free". I look forward to your response.

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

If Jesus is present to us and offers us opportunities for guidance and grace, and we refuse them, that's a problem, right? That's how we say that things like baptism and Eucharist are required for salvation, because a life in Christ is what's required. We do not earn our salvation through these works, we accept it. There's a huge difference. As for "going straight to the source" it seems a little disingenuous to say that while ignoring the Church that literally wrote and compiled the Bible. The "source" I think you mean is your personal interpretation of a word that is written. But what about the worshiping community that experienced Christ himself and continues to hand on the faith that he gave, that discerned what should and shouldn't be in the Bible. It seems that you are not interested in that. The problem with so many of these discussions is that Protestants hold dogmatically to _sola scriptura_ and Catholics do not. Protestants, wanted to be free of Roman authority, and so had to start fresh, which means they had no claim to Tradition or history, of actually knowing Jesus and being led by the Holy Spirit for 1500 years, and so had no choice but to say "if it's not in scripture it's not true." But do you really think that the Holy Spirit abandoned the Catholic Church for 1500 years until Protestants came along to "fix it"? Or is it possible that the additions and expansions we see in 1500 years of Catholicism before the reformers is the result of the Holy Spirit aiding the Church in interpreting Scripture and Tradition within the signs of the time, inevitably causing adaptations and innovations?

[@Wolfspyder5]

​@@BreakingInTheHabit There appears to be multiple contradictions here. Your 1st reply to me: "Is Jesus enough? Yes. You need nothing more in your life, nothing more for salvation." (On this we agree). Now your saying: "That's how we say that things like baptism and Eucharist ARE REQUIRED for salvation" while in the same breath saying "We do not earn our salvation through these works, we accept it." This would be a great time to clarify. Are you saying that it's works *AND* grace by which we are saved? As far as sola scriptura. When it comes to additional Biblical resources vs the Bible alone, it seems to me that those additions need to be weighed and measured up against the Holy Word, NOT the other way around. For example; Mormons, (like Catholics) also don't hold to Sola Scriptura. They have many passages in the book of Mormon that contradicts the Bible. Should we then say? "The Bible teaches different than the book of Mormon, therefore the Bible must be incorrect." I don't think the Catholic church is inherently false or evil. I think the church has positioned itself in such a way that makes it vulnerable. For example, Papal infallibility and supremacy. The current Pope has already capitulated to the LGBT community as well as environmental extremist. Sometimes I hear Catholics say "oh, but I'm not a fan of THIS pope". But that doesn't matter does it? All authority has been surrendered to this man on spiritual matters. So if the Pope comes out and says "Jesus would not turn away someone from heaven for being gay" (as Pope Francis said) ALL Catholics have to agree. One day a Pope will do or say something that is so blatantly against Biblical teachings that it can't be overlooked/ignored or excused. This will have a detrimental effect on Catholic followers.

[@TheNotoriousCheeto]

8:21 "Marriage is a covenant for life which no one can separate, so divorce and remarriage is not possible." Ha! Is that right? So I didn't have my family torn apart when a priest encouraged my parents to get an annulment rather than work out their problems. Glad I imagined that, apparently. This is an example of a statement that may be technically accurate but is not true in practice. In technical terms, an annulment is not a divorce. It requires a Tribunal to review the circumstances of the marriage carefully, and only under very specific circumstances can a marriage be annulled and the parties remarry. But that is a load of crap. Maybe long ago it was true, but these days, the vast majority of annulments are just granted. Because the church is corrupt, power-hungry, and greedy. If they didn't let horny people bounce from partner to partner, they might lose some of that sweet, sweet money and influence.

I believe you are right, I know the Byzantine Catholics and more of the eastern tradition celebrate the "Dormition" in which it is believed Mary died, and then assumed into heaven. This understanding is not contrary to the faith. Also, I think most Roman Catholics believe she did not, but one is free to believe either, as there is no official Church teaching on whether the Blessed Theotokos (Mary) died at the end of her life.

I've just finished reading "Faith and Reason: Philosophers Explain Their Turn to Catholicism". They're all testimonies that reveal how these Philosophers (all of them growing up in protestant families) found the truth in the Catholic church by reasoning their way through it. Some loved philosophy first and then religion. Some did it the other way round. All of them show an honest gratitude to their protestant background, as opposed to Catholics who turn protestants and are angry about it all the time, they never stop complaining about how "wrong" they were. The book is a bit difficult to read in some parts if you are not a philosopher (I know I am not one) but the authos truly made an effort to make the description of their journeys as accesible as possible to the rest of us. Funnily enough, the simplest, yet incredibly deep testimony is the one by Peter Kreeft. Quite recommendable.

I was raised Catholic by my family and I never read my Bible until I was 50yo. Then 7 years ago I found out it only takes 1 Day to Listen to the New Testament Bible,l. The Truth scared the Hypocrite right out of me! The whole Bible is 72hrs÷30=2.4hrs/Day. He would rather have 10% of every day from a Wise Virgin, than 10% of a Foolish Virgin's income. (Matt 25) So I read A-Z: Acts-Zeph every month. I have not gone to church in years. If anyone is caught in wilful sin, Pastors are to expose them before the entire congrigation as an example. God can't stand Religion, but is looking for a relationship: The small Remnant that ❤ God with ALL of our heart, mind, soul and strength and Obeys Everything His Word says to do. All scripture is God breathed. Every VS quoted in the NT came from the OT. so it makes sense why Satan convinces the Jews to Reject the NT, and for the Christians to Reject the OT. Yeshua did away with anything having to do with The Temple/Priests, Animal Sacrifices, and killing people caught in a sin. So the rest of the 613 All fall in line with 1 or more of the 10 Commandments: #1 ❤ YHWY with ALL of your Heart, Mind, Soul & Strength (Not Most) #2 Have No carved images: cross jewelery, statues 3 Keep His Name Holy: Yeshua was a Hebrew and a not Greek; so Jesus is Blasphemous 4 Remember The Keep The Sabbath Day Holy (Saturday) ~❤ your Neighbor/Forgive your Enemies 70x7 5 Honor your Parents 6-10 Don't: Hate, Lust, Steal, Lie, Covet ~Never Eat an unclean animal: Pork, Shellfish, etc... ~YHWH ⏳️❤☘️🐇 H A T E S 💐🎂🇺🇲🥳 PAGAN 🎃🦃🎄🕎 WORSHIP Amos 5:12 “I hate, I despise your feasts! I cannot stand the stench of your solemn assemblies. I'm not concerned about this life, when a Million, Billion, Trillion Years is only the beginning of Eternity!!

Fr. Casey, I thought it was Church teaching that Mary did actually die, and she was assumed into heaven after that. Is that correct?

[@annb9029]

I believe you can believe either way according to catholic answers

My guy got the gist of the catechism down to 10 minutes, incredible 🙏💪

Last month I went to my local Catholic church, but I had a lot of social anxiety and it was really hard for me to understand what was going on. I want to go back but I'm too afraid of that happening again. Any advice?

Hello! My advice for you would be to perhaps watch a Sunday service on KZbin (I'd recommend Ascension Presents Father Schmitz's one, just search for Fr Schmitz sunday mass and you should find many to choose from), this way you can become acquainted with how it looks like without having to be there physically with other people. After you're more familiar with the order, go to the church again and bring with you an order of the mass sheet if your church doesn't offer you one already. Yes it will still be stressful being in a place with people you don't know, but remember that they should all be respectful, because after all you are all there to hopefully honour God. I hope this helps, if at least by a bit :)

@@Julia-is6hh Fantastic! And I agree, Fr Schmitz is amazing. I'll check it out!

[@orbietborbi]

I will be praying for you. Remember that, in the end, it's all about Jesus Christ's deep love for each one of us on His cross. He loves YOU and wants you to be with Him. May God grant you the strength you need to answer His call. :)

There's a good book called "A Biblical Walk Through The Mass" By Edward Sri (it has a picture of Jesus with the Eucharist on the front) if you want to look more into what's going on at all the parts. Going a few more times will help you get a little more familiar with the structure of the mass. If you have any Catholic friends, you can ask to go to mass with them. If not, you can ask fellow Catholics (or the priest) about any questions you have. Things'll start to make sense in time. God Bless you on your journey my friend!
