@@tonybasoni8443you have in fact assumed that it is a deception based on your flawed understanding of the Scriptures. All creation comes from God and as St. Paul points out, when he is leveling accusations against the ungodly, well, I'll let him speak: The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.… So nature can bring back or lead people to God if they keep their minds and hearts open to "his still quiet voice." As the good Byzantine Catholic has stated in another video, our Good God created us with five senses and it is with these five senses that Catholics both Eastern and Western AND our separated though fully valid brothers and sisters in the Orthodox Churches worship our Good God. I dare say that your flawed worship is only intellectual therefore you lack the complete experience of worship. Bless your heart.

Hey brother, I'm a Syro Malabar Catholic and I'm so happy that more and more Western Roman Catholics are interested in learning about their brothers and sisters and the other Churches. As a Syro Malabar Catholic, I would recommend you to learn about it too and also the Syro Malankara Catholic Church. They both are beautiful and full of culture and Suriyani Nasrani traditions. Currently, just like the whole Latin mass-Novus Ordo thing, since the early 20th century, the translated versions of the traditional mass became popular. So if you want to see a Syro Malabar/Syro Malankara Qurbana/Qurbano, consider listening to the original form, the Suriyani version too.

So glad you finally got to go to an Eastern Rite Catholic Church! Hoping you can make it down to an Ordinariate parish like our cathedral, Our Lady of Walsingham, in Houston, or Our Lady of the Atonement, the first Anglican Use parish, in San Antonio. The Ordinariate is a wonderful instance of reintegrating a beautiful Protestant patrimony- Anglicanism- into the fullness of faith, and our parishes really are as reverent as English liturgy gets. They embody the phrase "living tradition."

@Brian Farley The Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter is an ordinariate of priests and laypeople in North America who were at one point members of the Anglican Communion. They were received into the Catholic Church and retain parts of their traditional Anglican patrimony. They aren't a distinct rite within Catholicism, rather they're a particular usage of the Latin rite, but they don't celebrate mass according to Missale Romanum. They have their own missal called Divine Worship: The Missal. They are fully Catholic however, in communion with Rome and everything.

One additional clarification: I say Our Lady of the Atonement was the first Anglican Use parish, because it joined the Catholic Church as a former Episcopalian congregation a few decades back before there was an Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter (there are also ordinariates, aka non-geographical dioceses, for Anglican patrimony Catholics in the British Isles and Australasia). However, nowadays, the proper term is "Ordinariate Use." But that would have been anachronistic when referring to events in the 1980s.

They finally divorced. But through the years from college and seminary I became a United Methodist pastor and remained so for 27 years. In my fifties the Lord led me to another major step of holiness when I left the UMC ministry and walked into the new Temple you just began to view. I can hardly wait to see your inspiration at walking inside the Temple which made me an instant convert. This is home.

Beautiful video and engagement with my fellow Byzantine Catholic denomination. As a Christian Catholic I've been harassed by a lot of protestant who called me a non-Christian yet they forgot that the church used to be one with many sides in the old days we had the patriarch of Byzantine patriarchical Alexandria patriarch of Rome which is the Pope and so on. The church was one United Catholic Apostolic Church which Catholic in Greek means Universal. I would like you to find the nearest Maronite Catholic Church and make a segment about it. The Maronite Catholic Church it's only one Church that it's in communion with Rome and does not have an orthodox side. The Maronite Catholic Church is been around from the year 400 + when Saint Maroun a monk in Syria started to preach the Bible and started to have following, later on after his death, his student Saint John Maroun continued and founded the Maronite Church. The Maronite are the Christians in Syria and the mountains of Lebanon have suffered tremendously for 1600 years from being occupied by the Romans by the Ottoman Empire by the French and so many others, but the Maronite Church which we still use Aramaic in the liturgy is very deep in history and I hope you make a segment about it.

The Sacramental worldview is one of, if not the most important treasures that Catholicism has to offer. The Western portion hasn't been too good, ironically, at realizing this to the world or even its members, so it's fantastic to bring in the Byzantines to help us out! A great way to think about it is as analogous to Christ. If he became God and man, then we can become (like) god without losing our humanity. And just as the very matter of our humanity is given this divine destiny in the redemption, so is all matter lifted up. The whole creation was tainted by the fall, and the whole creation is blessed in Christ. The early Christological heresies often tried to protect the godhead from contamination by tainted matter, but... God saw all that he had made, and indeed it was very good.

Matt, there are many requests for you to visit an Anglican Use Catholic Church. Though originally promulgated for Episcopalians to maintain their “added” aesthetics (mostly organic divergence in form, not substance) following Henry VIII’s split with Rome, it has become an attractive home for many various Protestants searching for the Fullness of Truth.. It is an easier transition for high church Protestants, but many are also from Baptist-type traditions as well. Many priests are married, having been priests in other denominations, and Rome has accommodated their remaining in that vocation. To be sure, the role of priest is more encompassing than just pastoring, but former Protestant pastors who are still married and want to become Catholic CAN study for the priesthood and CAN also be ordained. Our Church, Our Lady of the Atonement in San Antonio, Texas, has had priests who were formerly Methodist, Episcopalian and Baptist. Who knows? Maybe you will be a priest in the Ordinariate someday?!
