Thank you! This is just the type of overview to Church history that my 8th graders needed! With any luck, when I play this video for them at the end of the CCD year all this information will seem like a review.

Great job covering a LOT of territory there! I will be using this with my Confirmation group. (Except... ouch on the circumcision demo. Ew.)

Catholics have never offered Mass exclusively in Latin. The Catholic Church is more than just the Roman or Latin Rite. Eastern and Oriental Catholics who are in communion with the Holy See, offer the Liturgy in Syriac, Aramaic, Geeze, Ancient Armenian, Old Greek, Slavonic, and Coptic, among other languages. The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite (which many call the Traditional Latin Mass) was a Latin translation of the Roman Rite from Greek, when Latin became the vernacular language in the west and overtook Greek. But still the "Latin Mass" Included remnants of Greek in the Kyrie, and during Holy Week retained the Trisagon (Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Immortal, Have Mercy on us.) which is changed in Latin and Greek. Alleluia Hosannah and Amen are all Hebrew. During the initial missionary efforts in China, the Liturgy was offered in Chinese, with permission from Rome, and in Bohemia there was permission long before Vatican II to offer Mass in the local language.

Hi Thomas. Yes, the Mass was not Latin in its origin, and when translated from the Greek it was never exclusively in Latin, though the bulk of it was. For that reason it came to be called the “Latin Mass,” although you'll note we don't refer to it that way in the episode. Kai's "Ite Missa Est" at the end is just a playful nod to the Latin form of dismissal and certainly not meant as a claim to definitive usage. Thank you for your interesting and helpful historical note!

@@CatholicCentralVideos Just a liturgical geek here. While I normally only celebrate the Extraordinary form of the Latin Rite, and the Byzantine as a supply priest for the Ukrainian, Ruthenian and Melkite parishes when they need me. I do teach Liturgy in our Diocesan house of formation, and try to educate our seminarians that the Rite used is less important than the fact the Sacraments are the works of Christ Jesus, and in the case of the Mass the Graces which are given at it are infinite and we should make the most of them. If asked would have no issue with celebrating the Ordinary Form, as one Rite is no more or less Christ becoming present for us, so we can stand or kneel at the foot of the cross. (I do sometimes help distribute Holy Communion at the OF, and when they see me I get the line of folks who want to receive on the tongue, kneeling, and hear "Corpus Christi" before they respond in the Hebrew "Amen"... Sadly many folks even among the EF group have little education in the Liturgy and it's history, let alone the spiritual riches in any Rite approved by the Holy See.

Thank you, Fr Thomas, for emphasizing that all the different liturgies celebrated in communion with Rome grace us with the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in his Body, Blood. Soul and Divinity.

Wow... nothing about the Great Schism in a video about Church history . A little bit strange... But , don’t worry , we understand you , it’s unpleasant to remember that there was and there is a Church in the East which represents the true Church and the true christianity of the first millenium , the Orthodox Church .

@CatholicCentralVideos 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Alex... you know ----, you’re right! We mentioned the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century but not the Schism which occurred 500 years before. Maybe it hurts too much to talk about! Pope John Paul II described the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church as “Sister Churches” with “One Body, Two Lungs.” Beautiful! At the same time, he lifted the thousand-year-long mutual excommunication between us. Let’s pray that the Holy Spirit fills our lungs with love and a passion for unity, and helps Catholics like us remember and mourn one of the saddest moments in history. Thank you for your reminder, accept our contrition, and know that we are considering this topic for a future episode!

The Catholic Church did not EMERGE form the teaching of Jesus. (That is a Protestant idea). Jesus FOUNDED the Catholic Church in Matthew 16:18 -- "You are Peter and upon this rock I will BUILD my Church. The Catholic Church did not EMERGE, as if by accident. Jesus willed it into existence. The Church is of Divine Institution, it did not happen by chance, or by human invention.

Our use of the word “emerge” in Libby’s opening speech is intended in the sense of historical context only. For example, to say that the Gettysburg Address “emerged” from the Civil War is not to deny that Lincoln wrote it. Likewise, to say that the Church (ecclesia) “emerged” from the historical matrix that surrounded Jesus is not to deny that it was an intentional manifestation of God’s will. At the same time, it’s important to keep in mind that, historically speaking, Jesus was born a Jew, died a Jew, and resurrected as a Jew. In the eschatological sense of God’s plan of salvation, the Church was always and forever meant to be, though in the historical sense it was only when the hierarchy of the Jews failed to accept Christ’s teachings that the Church, as we know it, formally “emerged” as a religious body separate from Judaism. Hope this helps!

Catholic church changed the 10 commandments and they kneel before a statue(idols).

@CatholicCentralVideos 3 жыл бұрын

Dear Angela, thank you for your comment, but we wish you would actually watch the episode as well as others that cover what you wrongly suppose. The Catholic Church has not changed the Ten Commandments. In the early fifth century A.D., Catholic Bishop Augustine of Hippo assigned numbers to the ten commandments found in Exodus 20:2-17 and again in Deuteronomy 5:6-21, which as you know present God’s commandments in sequence but do not number them. Augustine’s numbering remained in place for a thousand years and was accepted in the 16th Century by Martin Luther, the first Protestant reformer. Only later did other Protestant sects, breaking from Luther, alter Christianity’s age-old numbering by dividing the first verses (Ex 20:2-5, Deut 5: 6-8) into two commandments and combining the last verse (Ex20: 17, Deut 5:21) into one commandment. As you see, then, it could be argued that Protestants were the ones who “changed the 10 commandments”! But that’s not right either, because in each case - from the Bible of Augustine's time through today’s dizzying array of Bible translations - the scriptural texts containing the unnumbered ten commandments are absolutely identical and preserved in their original form. All Christians and all Jews observe the same “10 Commandments” however they may be numbered. The focus should be on the Commandments themselves, not on the numbers, and certainly not on urban myths that turn God’s Word into a numbers game. As for Idolatry, again we’re afraid you have it wrong. Perhaps you should watch our episode on “The Saints”. We do not believe the saints are deities. We simply believe that these are people who have gone before us and now enjoy an even closer relationship to God than they did in life. Just as you would ask a friend or family member to pray for you when you are going through a hard time, we ask the saints to “intercede” for us - to go to God for us. Kneeling in front of their statues while we pray doesn’t make them idols or us "idol-worshipers". For us, kneeling is a spiritual posture, in any place or time, that helps to gather our senses and center us. Our popular episode “Mary” explains how kneeling before religious statues is like gazing with heartfelt longing and affection on photos of our loved ones. We gaze on the photos with love, not because we love the photos (which would be idolatry!) but because we love the person whose likeness in the photo helps to bring their reality into our hearts. We have a large number of episodes debunking incorrect information that is out there. We urge you to watch some of them, Angela, and hopefully, it will help you see what we are about before you comment on it.

Why aren't you describing Christian's being slaughtered for seeking the truth. And so much more. So so much more.

@CatholicCentralVideos Жыл бұрын

Dear Cindy Hicks, we never hide things that the Church has done and things like the Inquisition are covered in this episode. As for Catholics slaughtering Protestants, we are not sure what you are alluding to. In the past the Catholic Church has done a lot of things that, in the 21st century, seem archaic and barbaric - but so has most of the other religions of that time. In England, Henry the VIII routinely killed Catholics who refused to recognize him as “Defender of the Faith.”
