I Visited the Roman Catholic Church for the First Time

I had the opportunity to sit down with Father Dean to discuss Roman Catholicism and the reason they look towards The Pope for guidance. I had a good time discussing Catholic theology, touring his cathedral, & learning more about The Pope from a Catholic perspective. Subscribe to help my mission to visit everything religion!

Catholicism is Beautiful and Fulness of Truth

[@aisthpaoitht]

Catholicism is simply beautiful

I don't see any catholic in the video however...

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

You should go to cathedral in Eastertide to get the full flavor. Best if you can find a traditional Latin mass.

[@DBossMC]

Park City St Mary’s - best Latin mass

[@aussierob7177]

If you have objections to Catholicism make sure they are not trash. Catholicism gets a lot of unfair flak from both Protestants and Secularists. In the U.S.A. ,this is particularly an issue due to Protestant influence. I don't have issues with people criticising Catholicism, but make sure they understand what it is Catholics believe.

[@GemaEnriquez]

You should attend the Traditional Latin Mass ! BEAUTIFUL !!!!

[@Jack.Jumper]

Well done mate, and to the priest, for a fair and reasonable take on Catholicism. I like that you stated everything so clearly. People can still reject it, but at least they're not rejecting a straw-man. Nice work.

[@carmenanico2786]

Showing this beauty reminds me of the tabernacle that the bible explains and all done for his glory. The best of the best for him

[@RichDItalianTenor]

Hi, devout Catholic here. I just want to tell you that I think you did a great job with this video. And yes, just as a few other comments have said, definitely check out a Latin Mass if you can. One suggestion too. Catholicism is composed of 23 "rites", all under the umbrella of the Catholic Church, fully in communion with the Pope the Vatican. Roman Catholicism is just by far the largest and most famous one. But again, great job, thanks for the video.

[@BackpackReligion-ev4zq]

Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Shskfjekdnf38587]

It’s actually incorrect to say Roman Catholicism to mean Western Catholicism. All of the Catholic Church is under the authority of Rome. It’s more approach to say the Latin Church or Latin Catholicism, which uses the Roman Rite.

[@FrJohnBrownSJ]

the catholic church is the continuation of the sacrificial system and priesthood of the temple but in its perfect form under the new covenant established by jesus christ in 33 ad. it's marks are one, holy, catholic, and apostolic; meaning it is one holy institution, universal, and historically verifiable. the magisterium came first, the institutional authority received from Jesus Christ to govern, then the holy traditions, and deposit of faith, of which is very few to enumerate, some such as: the sign of the cross, the canon of the bible, specific rites in celebrating the mass inherited from the apostles and disciples; and the scriptures themselves, first from the scriptures used by Jesus and the apostles, and teachings and traditions committed into writing, inspired by the Holy Spirit. visit a melkite catholic church or chaldean catholic church or any of the dozens of eastern catholic rites. the roman is only one of many individual churches in the universal church

[@SoldadoCatolico]

too bad that the vatican ii council changed the rite of ordination going against Pope Leo XIII's bull Apostolicae Curae, so all ordinations after 1968 are invalid, furthermore the aformentioned council also made the effort to make the mass "more protestant" as per cardinal bugnini's very own admision.

[@jperez7893]

@@SoldadoCatolico the pope is the supreme pontiff and absolute monarch of the church. he is the supreme legislator and judge beyond which there is no recourse. he can legislate norms or change them at will to be acceptable to the church unless it is specifically mandated in scripture. the minimum necessary and sufficient conditions for ordination to be valid is that it is freely accepted and given, the ordinand is a natural baptized male and the the ordinator lays his hands on the ordinand in the words and manner accepted or legislated by the church. a pope does not bind future popes from changing the norms unless it is forbidden by scripture or forbidden as part of the constitution of the church or mandated over the whole church as ex cathedra teaching. therefore you are wrong in your opinion. to accept your opinion is to arrive to the logical conclusion that Jesus is a liar, and that the gates of hell have somehow overcome the church against the promise of Our Lord Jesus Christ. that is anathema

[@BensWorkshop]

@@jperez7893 Absolutely. All protestants and sedevecantists believe that at some point the Holy Spirit abandonded the church.

[@aaron1983]

Matthew 16:18. If you believe in Jesus’ promise then you know. The Pope also has ordinary power over the entire church (all dioceses), as practiced by the early historical church. How do you interpret scripture without the tradition passed down from the Jesus and his Apostles? God bless!!

[@LiamSGue]

I was surprised to see this! A dear friend of mine attends this church! I do have some critiques of the commentary. While some Protestant Christians are wrongly overly leery of tradition, the historic Protestant view has regarded tradition as an authority to consult in determining doctrines, just not an infallible authority. Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) does not mean the literal translation of the Latin, the doctrine of the Protestant traditions by and large is that Scripture is the sole infallible authority. Something I thought I might mention! Excellent video!

[@BensWorkshop]

Sola Scriptura gets interpreted in many different ways by different groups. Worth pointing out the Roman Catholic view that tradition does not over ride scripture.

[@marymargarette4289]

But whatever you say our Lord Jesus Christ is the Head of the Catholic Church. Jesus build ONLY ONE CHURCH THROUGH HIS APOSTLE PETER and the popes are the successors right from His Apostle Peter. NO ONE CAN BUILD THE CHURCH BUT ONLY THE SON OF ALMIGHTY GOD. But now there are thousand of churches build by men they were reject and against HIS CHURCH. Jesus build only one church through His Apostle Peter only not even to His 11 Apostles. Jesus gave His Apostles the power and authority. Mathew 16:18-19 - Jesus say "you are Peter and on this rock I will build MY CHURCH and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the key of the Kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven". Luke 9:1-2 - Jesus called His 12 Apostles together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and He sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal. Luke 9:5 - Jesus told to His Apostles "and wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them". Luke 10:16 - "he who hears you hears Me and he who rejects you rejects Me and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me". Luke 10:19 - "behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the powers of the enemy and nothing shall hurt you". Luke 10:21 - In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will". John 8:31-32 - Jesus said "if you continue in My Word you are truly My Disciples and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free". John 7:18 - Jesus say "he who on his own authority seek his own glory but he who seeks the glory of GOD who sent Him is true and in Him there is no falsehood". John 10:25-26 - Jesus answered "I told you and you do not believe. The WORKS that I do in My Father's name they bear witness to Me; but you do not believe because you do not belong to My Sheep". Mark 13:5-6 - JESUS WARNED US "take heed that no one leads you astray. Many will come in My Name, saying I am he and they will lead many astray". Mark 13:13 - Jesus told to His Apostles "and you will be hated by all for My Name's sake. BUT HE WHO ENDURES TO THE END WILL BE SAVED". Mark 13:22-23 - JESUS WARNED US "false christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders to lead astray if possible the elect. BUT TAKE HEED, I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL THINGS BEFOREHAND".

It’s always interesting. That protestants put so much faith into Martin Luther’s decisions. Much like he was the pope or something. It’s a wise decision to get to know and understand Catholic beliefs before you discredit them.. have a really good read of John 6. Where we come to the understanding of exactly what the holy Eucharist is all about. Protestants reject Jesus as being truthful about what he said in John 6. Claiming it was only a symbolic explanation of the bread and wine. I challenge anyone to dig a little deeper understanding what they deny in the Catholic Church before they choose to run from it. If you want to understand, the Catholic Church read the catechism. Go to a RCIA class and really find out.

[@pmlm1571]

The Latin side of the Church is what most belong to and are familiar with--our Mass is written in Latin (translated into English for us in the USA, into Spanish for those in Mexico, etc); as the Greek side of the Church says its own separate ancient version of the Mass in Greek. It's not really right to keep saying "Roman" of the Catholic Church: this originated with the English trying to parochialize the universal church in contrast to their novelty "Church of England." People know what is meant by "roman Catholic" but it's not the name of the Church: that is simply Catholic Church.
