The Barren Harvest of Denominationalism - Sr. Rosalind Moss - Deep in History

In this talk from The Coming Home Network's 2008 Deep in History conference, Sr. Rosalind Moss talks about the rise of Christian denominationalism in the United States in the 19th and 20th century, and its effects. Sr. Rosalind, who was raised Jewish and converted to Evangelical Christianity before becoming Catholic, discusses the positive effects of the Protestant emphasis on Scripture and personal belief, but shares how without a common unifying authority, those two impulses have led to a continual fracturing of denominations.

Was baptized Catholic, never properly taught and formed. Became a protestant evangelical pastor for 20+ years. Finally saw the light, now a confirmed Catholic, worshipping our beautiful GOD in an FSSP parish (our parish is packed and growing) in Canada (a country that is a protestant-pagan spiritual wasteland). Ave Maria.

[@mw2416]

I grew up Catholic. I eventually ended up in a non-denominational church. Well more than one. In so many ways they thrill you with the entertainment and fancy stuff. Eventually that wears off. I began to feel empty after some time. I took time off of Church to research. I eventually found my self back home. However I learned about my faith this time around. Boy was I poorly taught. Now that I am learning I feel closer to God . Glad to be back home.

Elaine Ford I am a Former Hindu that became Catholic then I wondered into so many Denominations I got Baptized in Our lady of Good Council Catholic church in Plymouth Michigan but then I moved to Florida so I ended up at life point Christian Church it is the Congorational Church the broke away from its Mainline Denomination but then Pastor Phil Aryies stating preaching the Calvanist doctrine that if you sin you can not return to God so I left and went to the Episcopal church but then I ended up in one Wiccan online school so o Qiutted it so now I am in Northland Church and I became a missionary for the Lyft Disability Network but I found out the dark side of it some of the people are Preachers Kids who are Adults from the Baptist church and their Dads are too Calvanist they are not allowed to go to the Beach and they are not even allowed to watch any Movies not even any Christian movies including Heaven is for real as for Northland church the Faith Ability Sunday Bible Studies are lead by one broken family the wife loves the Catholic church and the Husband is Former Catholic who insults the cross that has the body of Jesus on it so now I am planning to return to the Catholic church starting from Confession

[@PollyannaTragic]

I am so happy for you! I suppose God allows us to walk these convoluted paths so we may have empathy for others who finally make their way into the fullness of the faith and the One True Church. The Catholic Church will never fail you, and you will receive God's Grace not based on information or intellect, but his mercy offered in the Sacraments.

[@PollyannaTragic]

After you get to Confession, you can receive the Holy Eucharist. The actual body of Christ will give you the grace and power to lead a holy and happy life! Stay far away from protestant religions - they are based on heresy. Study and practice your Catholic Faith and be prepared to defend it...........may God Bless you!

Our Catholic Prelates need to understand that they will be held accountable for destroying our Catholic church so they can please man instead of Our Lord. Yet, I knew that I was 'home' to the Church Christ founded and have been blessed to find two very traditional Catholic churches. We need to have beauty in our Churches to give Glory to God who is beautiful! Look at nature all around us, that should give us a sense that the God we serve cannot be anything but beauty Himself!

The simplest, most direct, and fruitful way of living opposite of a "barren harvest", is St.Therese of Lisieux's "Little Way" of spiritual childhood. It cuts through all kinds of complications and distinctions WITHOUT detracting in any way from Christ's own life, passion, way to Calvary, death .. and Resurrection. Where's the simplicity? Observe little kids ( .. no older than five or six, preferably younger) babbling in unhampered trust their wants, complaints, love, questions to their Daddy and Mommy. Take THAT as our model and transpose it spiritually, and learn to "babble" in the same unhampered way with our Heavenly Father about anything and everything in our hearts. And there's yer "Little Way". I'm "Cowboy Bob" and I beg daily for the grace to become that "Little"!

I did much worse. Became a crazyJ.W. for 19yrs. I was brought up in the Anglican Church in England. I converted to the Catholic in 1978. After living in the U.S. For 9 yrs.

[@DarrylJordanOLW]

Sounds like she tried very hard as a Jehovah's Witness and initially (presumably 'broad church' though could be evangelical or even Anglo-Catholic) Anglicanism before encountering our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, body, soul and divinity, in the Mass. So rather than asking Jesus into her heart she eats his Flesh and drinks his Blood. (The first 'protestants' fell away from the Faith in John 6, after all.) Having a 'personal relationship with Jesus by asking Him into your heart' as some magical mantra (sorry, pan-Evangelical 'conversion experience') guaranteeing 'eternal security' is, of course, code for a host of material and formal heresies. It's the Holy Spirit who indwells every Christian, and that by our Baptism (Romans 6-8). That's the one baptism (Ephesians 4) by water and the spirit (John 3), not just the latter, i.e., the so-called 'spiritual baptism of the true/elect/sincere believer'. And Faith is a gift, also received by the Spirit's indwelling through Baptism, along with Hope and Charity, not something we must have/do/feel before we can be saved.

[@DarrylJordanOLW]

I fully understand the rationale for the denial of baptismal regeneration by a number of Evangelical Protestant sects, having been a member of three of them: Disciples of Christ (9-17yo), thence Southern Baptist (17-20yo) and finally Dispensationalist Bible Church (20-27yo, after which I was a confirmed Anglican 27-51yo, and now Catholic). The argument, which I first heard as SB based on (an incorrect) Greek exegesis of Acts 2:38 (that εἰς means 'because of' not 'for'), is unsound and the conclusion invalid, indeed a heresy. The Apostles' Creed is quite clear: one baptism for the remission of sins. No baptism = no remission No remission = no salvation Merely to recite, however sincerely, a prayer of belief that Jesus Christ, God the Son incarnate, remits sin is not enough. Obviously that remission, being solely sufficient for salvation, can save the unbaptised, but the sacrament (not merely 'ordinance') of baptism is the normative means to an unsaved person being forgiven, regenerate and indwelt by God the Holy Spirit. To say baptismal regeneration is 'works salvation' (rather like some especially 'simple Gospel' Evangelical Protestant sects say of the necessity of belief in Jesus's Lordship) is alien to Christian tradition prior to the Protestant Reformation.

Great talk! So inspiring! Live Catholic! Pray for and invite others to live Catholic!

[@jeanie6279]

Hello. Are you directing that comment at Sr. Rosalind or to me? She has given other talks and this one was on a specific topic. She very much believes in the death of Christ on the cross and His Resurrection. Catholics, at least those who are not only Catholic in name but in belief and practice, observe this at every Sacrifice of the Holy Mass. Who is boasting? We are full of gratitude to be Catholic. Gratitude is not boasting. And I invite all to come home to the Catholic Church, founded by Christ, Who died on the cross and defeated death so that we might, too. But we must humbly submit to Him in His true Church. And on that note, I would add that you won't find this truth at most "Catholic" churches these days (I don't say this to be uncharitable to my Catholic brothers and sisters, laity or clergy) because what is passing for "Catholic" in many places these days is but a shadow of true Catholicism. I found this out on my own after leaving the Catholic faith for more than a decade, living as a Protestant, and returning home to Catholicism; after two years back I realized the Catholic Church in the last 50 years has been Protestantized and many essential truths diminished or obliterated. I's a travesty and a tragedy, as souls are being lost. But that is a topic for another thread. I pray that all people would be converted to the true, One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. And Tipparat Duangin, I invite you personally. Peace and God bless you!

[@jeanie6279]

Jesus Christ is Lord! Amen! There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, founded by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Faith without works is dead (look it up, read it in Scripture, and pray about that to our Heavenly Father)! For the millionth time, we don't pray to Mary, she prays with us and for us, just like a mother or a friend does. On that note, I bid you adieu and ask that we simply agree to pray for one another. Okay? God bless you, Tipparat Duangin!

[@jeanie6279]

Yes. But first: faith is a gift. It is from God. We cannot boast of our faith, as if we did some work to bring it about ourselves. No, faith is a gift from God, and we can only thank Him for it. (See Ephesians 2: 8-9.) Now please read the entirety of James 2: 14-26, of which I quote just a small part here: "Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.' And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only." [But please read it all, verses 14-26.] Tipparat, our "work" is how we cooperate with the gift of faith. We can have faith but if we refuse to cooperate with it and do nothing, then our faith is dead, like a body with no soul. Luther erred gravely when he suggested one is saved by faith and can go on sinning and still enter Heaven. NO. We must repent of our sins, which are against God, and cooperate with Him because we believe in Him. In this way we are with God, not against Him. All throughout Jesus' public ministry he exhorts people to "Go, and sin no more." He never says. "Keep on sinning. You will still get to heaven." No, we must repent and try to be perfect, "as our Father in Heaven is perfect." If we cooperate with God (and how do we cooperate? Not just by asking Him to increase our faith but by our actions of goodness and holiness that are the result of that faith. We behave in a manner which is in keeping with the faith He has bestowed upon us.) He gives us the faith/belief; we give to Him the cooperation/works. You and I will not be justified "sola fide". That is a heresy which has damned and will damn many souls to Hell unless they repent in this life, turn away from sin, make reparation for it, and live in charity and righteousness (which is love and good works)! Does that make sense?

[@richardradice3391]

@@TheLongSummer Matthew 7 and Luke 6 speaks of false believers, there is only one Truth. The Church holds the truth of the Eucharist in John 6 verified by Ignatius of Antioch a student of John's. That gives you two options now. Orthodox or Catholic. Let's go to Matthew 16 and we see Peter is bestowed many forms of leadership, a name change like Abraham was given, keys like the prime minister in Isaiah 22 and the ability to speak truth like Moses in Exodus. The veneration was done by 1st century Christians. Mary does not fit the definition of Idoltaroy in exodus 4. as we don't attribute anything God did to her or worship her. We also see an idol given food and drink in Daniel 14, we don't do that either. we see a physical unified Church in Matthew 18 when we are told to test preachers against the Church.and in 1 Timothy 3 SCRIPTURE gives up authority to the Church, Paul telling Timothy " if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth." So the Church is definitely an organization. It is all three, a body of believers, a congregation, and a physical teaching body the bride of Christ. You have been in several people's reply and quote a single verse, while Catholic have done nothing but quote Scripture.

[@richardradice3391]

@Tipparat Duangin Sacraments are from the Gospel, the Eucharist is described in John 6 and Reconciliation in John 20:19-23. Praying to the Dead is in the OT and Offerings for the dead is the NT in Luke 11:4. Relics are the most literal thing in Scripture Acts 19:9-11 "This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord. 11 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them." Rosary is not Pagan, the Hail Mary is from all of Luke 1 and 2. Each Mystery is an event in Christ's life. 150 Hail Marys are to represent the PSalsm which predict the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. The Rosary is a compendium of Scripture, the only prayer to be called that. We are the only ones who take the Word so serious we pray on it. The Mass was practiced by Peter in Rome and Antioch, Evodius (Whom Peter left) in Antioch, Paul in Corinth, Saint Mark (Peter's disciple) in Alexandria, James in Jerusalem. The rite of the Mass has been passed down for ages. The Mass is an offering of CHRIST the one and only Sacrifice to Christ. Were we eat his flesh and drink his blood like in Luke 22 and John 6. Christ was the last lamb, and we remember him as such.

Im really appreciating the challenge of my Catholic sister here in this talk and she makes many fair points. I think, though, that one fair counterpoint to her talk is that she is really criticising Calvinism, and rigid calvinism at that. There are other streams of protestantism- Anglicanism and Lutheranism (both of which use plenty of phyiscial beauty and adornment in their churches), as well as baptist and anabaptist churches. Not all protestants believe in total depravity, either. Many yfair points are made here, but I think that it is an unfair charicature of protestantism as a whole, and I also believe that many of our current societal ills have much more to do with secularization than it does protestantism, and Catholics are just as guilty as protestants (perhaps even more so) of become secularized in their thoughts and actions. As a protestant I love and appreciate my Catholic brothers and sisters and seek to learn from them and appreciate their challenges, and I think that the Catholic church has also learned from and grown from the challenges of protestantism. Jesus said the world will know that you are my disciples if you love one another. Let's have fellowship in Christ. God bless.

[@RedRiverMan]

Now sister is preaching here!!! I have always wondered why protestants esteem minimalism so much and I assumed that the beauty of creation was somehow suspect. We as Catholics can be over the top with the adornment for sure but better in this case to do more than less in the praise of God if it continues to direct us to God. God bless the sister!!!

[@russbus1967]

Hey, I realize this is two years too late lol. But I hope you’ll get this answer. Adam’s sin has certainly caused a stain of original sin on all of humanity. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God reconciled us with himself. However, the nature of this reconciliation is viewed differently by Catholics and Protestants. The Catholic (and therefore, the traditional) view is that, by the grace of God, man can eventually become totally glorified. It is an “inside-out” kind of sanctification, one in which we have the opportunity to fully participate in the goodness that God offers through Jesus. The view of the Protestant reformers is, as the Sister calls it, a doctrine of “total depravity”. Martin Luther, for example, compared sanctification to “snow covering a dunghill”. In other words, despite the sanctifying grace of Christ’s sacrifice, it will never be fully possible for man to share in the glory of God.

[@bsontrop]

Dear Kathy, thanks for responding. Best I can suggest is do a thorough study of St.Therese of Lisieux and her Little Way. Where she's been since her death on Sept. 30, 1897 -in Heaven! -it's anything but gimmicky. Her more than century-long track record of showering Roses from Heaven is the REAL "Edge"! So, Kathy, be determined to study St.Therese's "Little Way" (of Spiritual CHILDHOOD) until you "get it", until you've received the courage and confidence that it's simple, practical, very "do-able", the easiest path of your OWN way to Heaven. Any fundamentalist indoctrination club doesn't have the Eucharist, and so is wide open to contradictory superficialities, and phoney "happy-flappy" joy. Whereas if you track down the nearest Eucharistic Adoration Chapel and spend quiet time THERE, you will experience the REAL peace and joy which ONLY Jesus can give .. and He IS THERE in the consecrated Host. Talk to HIM (words aren't necessary, but He does long for YOUR love and trust). And if you're wondering, all the majesty and magnificence which you sorely miss these days, still reside in His Sacred Heart .. there in His Real Presence, except He doesn't want to scare everybody off by SHOWING ALL that Majesty, of which the Pre-Vatican II Church was still only a weak sampling. Heaven comes only after we've left this earth and entered Eternity's Heaven .. what God has in store for those who love Him cannot be described in human words. So, St.Therese's "Little Way" is God's super gift to "Little Souls" striving for happiness with Him forever .. a little Child's way of showing Mommy and Daddy (Our Lady and Our Father) it's love 24/7. We'll keep you covered, Kathy!

The Reformation has nothing to do with American Puritanism. Calvin didn't love beauty? He was a French, guys!!! France is THE country (with Italy) that worshipped beauty. He was an offspring of France, a patriot, a deep lover of his country's heritage, a lover of the french language which he made a tool of strong thought. It's very beautiful that through the Catholic Church America Evangelicals start to understand that their Christianity has no other roots than their peculiar ''americanism'', it's a kind of nationalism. They do well to appreciate the Catholic heritage (don't forget the Eastern Orthodox, also, because it's greek and remember that Christianity prevailed through the greek language) but, if they want to remain Protestants, true and original Protestants, they have to study Luther and Calvin per se, NOT lutheranISM and calvinISM, not ''american protestantism''.

A provocative presentation but as one on the path to Rome, I'd like to add three comments. "Total depravity", from a Calvinist perspective, doesn't mean we're as bad as possible but that every part of man is affected by sin. Additionally, Protestants don't see a problem with denominationalism because the litmus test is the essentials of the Faith (the deity of Christ, the atoning work on the Cross, etc.). Finally, many Protestants do seek for the good, the true, and the beautiful in their lives and liturgy. But that pursuit is always in the context of modern Western culture devoid of the historical foundation.

There is only one Chief Shepherd, being Christ. (1 Peter 5:4), and only He, and not the pope, deserves our praise and glory, (Rev. 5:13). In fact, there is no office of the pope in the New Testament.

He also says whatever he looses on earth will be loose in heaven and whatever he binds on earth will be bund in heaven. Peter is the first pope and he passed his authority down just like the right hand man in the Old Testament. That authority has been passed down through the ages. We do not worship the pope at all.

Oy vey! This is called creating a straw man and then knocking him down. It is a total misrepresentation of Calvinism and Protestantism. Protestantism is misrepresented by this obviously sincere lady and then she discredits the misrepresentation she has created (with the help a Catholic writer--Rowe?). The rabbis teach that Japheth represents culture and Shem religion. The culture of the Classical world was used to reach the nations with the coming of Messiah. Many Hebraic things were set aside for this to happen. Protestantism is a turning from Hellenism back to Hebraism. The revival of Hebrew, as the Puritans implemented in their schools, and the Hebrew Roots movement among Evangelicals today, is part of the continuing Protestant movement. Where Protestantism has become "progressive" "modernist" and "liberal," is in its falling away from St. Augustine. Catholics have done this too. Why? Is it not due to a voluptuary attitude, a neo-paganism that worships the body? The doctrine of "total depravity" is misunderstood and misrepresented in this lecture. To me it appears a false Catholic humanism is being advocated in its place. Does Sr. Rosalind need to go back and check what her Jewish roots have to say? (Denominationalism is simply a refection of variety in our human condition. Why are so many tribes and genealogies given in the Hebrew Bible? "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.") In any case, I recently heard on Catholic radio that Catholics are not required to believe the Old Testament accounts as actual history, such as the Book of Jonah. One is allowed to take it as "figurative" even though Jesus in the New Testament refers to Jonah as actual. Evangelicals (Calvinists--Protestants) would beg to differ.

Dean Mansfield Good answer but I was raised Calvinist and it was grim.Catholicism has culture intellect and mercy. I like it better.But your defence is quite acceptable.

[@deanmansfield9238]

Thank you, Peter, but you must be talking about post Vatican II Catholicism. Traditional Catholicism is more grim than anything Protestant. It sees the Eucharist as an actual (though bloodless) sacrifice, representing the bloody sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Post Vatican II no longer wishes to stress that. The crucifix does not have to be at the center of the altar, the priest faces the congregation and folk tunes are allowed in place of hymns. If that is called "culture, intellect and mercy," well, yes. Modern Protestantism has gone the same way following and sometimes leading the mother church. Anyway, grim is not necessarily bad, is it? There are some very grim realities. Sacrifice for sin is one of them, no?

[@ericlee6294]

"In essentials, unity" Who defines what is essential? Denominationalism is relativism, there is no way around it. Vatican II did not change the teaching that the Eucharist is an actual sacrifice, which is the teaching of the Church documented as early as 2nd century and has not changed till this day. Traditional Catholicism built the entire western civilization and all its philosophy, arts and science. If you think traditional Catholicism is grim, you probably have not read writers like G. K.

A typical speech of the Antichrist. Shrewd, emotional, remaking the history, fooling the simple, playing into the cards of the Vatican. Jesus said to all - WATCH! Catholicism has no roots in Christianinty. It is a mixture of mysticism, gnosticism, paganism, judaism, and a few shreds of Christian teaching (very little though). Did you notice her final words? "The whole world will look at us and say - it's the same as yours..." The book of Revelation say the same thing in this way: "... And all the world wondered after the beast... and he [the BEAST] opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name... and it was given him power to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear... He deceiveth them that dwell on the earth." Yes, she is right, the whole world will be saying "our faith is the same as yours," and will follow the beast unto their utter destruction... By the way, if you say you don't like America, what are you doing here then? We know why - promoting the beastly power of Revelation 13. I would not be in your shoes in the end. You left Judaism which is a fallacy, joined fallen Protestantism which another fallacy, then joined Catholicism which is and always was the most deceptive power. You keep missing the point.

[@GuitarraUltima]

TheLongSummer: Levin78 has no idea what the difference between the so called Church Fathers and the word of God is. I read many of them and they contradict not only with the Bible. They contradict with each other!!! Yet, the Catholic hierarchy teaches that "they were in total harmony..." What an absurdity!!! They concocted all kinds of fictitious legends, they didn't believe the way Jesus wants us to believe, they were puffed up men who didn't know how to deal with their own sins, so they created new teachings that helped excuse them instead remove them from their lives, such as Augustine's "Original Sin". Origen, the greatest of the "Church Fathers," believed that the Holy Spirit was a created being, Jesus was a lesser god (with small letter g), the devils will be saved, Christ's death on the cross was a "Mystical Kiss to Satan" unto his (Satan's) redemption, stars and planets have souls, Christ died for stars as well, the Holy Scripture is useless when studied as it is written - in other words, he allegorized everything in the Bible, he taught that regular people cannot understand it, and thus he laid foundation to the blasphemous teaching that Catholicism is known for - the Church is not the members but it is the pope, cardinals, bishops and priests. Those are the only ones that can interpret the word of God, not the Holy Spirit. Those and many other heresies were rampant in the circles of the so called Church Fathers. Those men were first class heretics and their works need to looked upon as that. They were the Fathers of the False "Church." The word Catholic means universal - and that's where we should raise a red flag. Jesus, our Savior didn't say His followers will be "universal." He said that there will be very few saved in the end. He was talking about "particular people." Does it sound like the majority, which the Catholic "church" really is? Remember: the Truth has never been on the side of majority... I believe many Catholics will be saved in the end but they will be saved by abandoning their beliefs and leaving their deceptive "church," not by remaining in it. They will show their backs to Vatican and will follow Jesus Christ, the crucified for the sins of men. God bless you!

My brother GuitarraUltima, the term “universal” is in reference to the universal (or entire) truth. It is not inferring universalism, the belief that all men will be saved. As for the Church Fathers that you denounce, they are the successors of the Apostles, the authors of the New Testament that you and I both venerate.

levin78: You misunderstood both my message and your own teaching about "Universal." The church is called universal (Catholic) because it includes vast masses of people, and its main goal is to include the whole world soon. If you don't believe me, believe your own sources, such as Malachi Martin: "The Keys of This Blood." And please study your own materials such as Council of Trent, Council of Vatican II, etc. Church Fathers had nothing to do with the Apostles - it exists only in the Chruch's propaganda. The Church Fathers contradict every single facet of Jesus' and the Apostles' teaching. Read my previous message carefully and verify this in the history. Peter had nothing to do with the heinous institution of the papacy.
