I love this Channel. As a protestant and college history student. This has been the backbone of a whole semester of church classes trying to explain the protestant reformation. Its not said enough how well organized and clear this video is. Edit: Yesterday I finished my 2 cuatrimestres (idk how to say that in English but I'll assume it's clear) of Reform I and II. I covered from the Valdesians up to the 30 hears war in about 250 power point dispositives. Gotta thank you again because you made my work much easier and clearer, specially in how to cover so many things happening in so little time.

Turn to the Catholic faith. We affirm Christ, whereas Protestantism is a heresy against Christ. They deny the physical presence of Christ in the Eucharist- next step is to deny the Incarnation! And you see this trajectory in Protestant evolution

@@chriscoke2505 Baloney! It's the most evil institution on the face of the earth. And I was raised a Catholic, went to a Catholic school. My mother's sister was a nun and my family goes back Catholic more than 3 centuries on both sides. Read and STUDY the bible. Almost everything the church teaches is condemned in the bible, such as praying to Mary and saints. it is rightly called the Mother of Harlots and ABOMINATIONS of the earth in Revelation. Almost every verse SCREAMS Roman Catholic Church! In Chapter 17 there are many descriptions of a woman that’s riding on a beast, and she is described as “THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH”. To begin with, this woman is called "MYSTERY' Babylon. (Revelation 17 VERSE 5) The Catholic church ADMITS that it is a 'Mystery Religion”, due to the supposed Mystery of transubstantiation. She has also continued all of the other MYSTERIES of ancient Babylon including celibacy, oral confessions & idol worship. She is also defined as a “MOTHER”, a mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth. No other institution but the Catholic Church has ever referred to itself as “MOTHER” Who has not heard priests, bishops, Cardinals and popes all use the term “Our holy “MOTHER’ the Church”? What about the Harlots? Throughout the centuries, the priestly vow of celibacy caused a need for prostitutes (harlots) like never before and the church has made a fortune taxing the houses of prostitution in Rome and throughout the Papal States. What about her abominations? Just a few of these include the Crusades, Inquisitions and concordats that the Vatican signed with three dictators - Franco, Mussolini and Hitler, not to mention the thousands of sodomite and pedophile Roman Catholic priests stationed all over the world. Need any more be said about abominations? This woman is described as having “A Golden Cup in Her Hand” (VERSE 4). The gold communion cup that the priest uses during mass is the symbol of the church, and you can see this “GOLDEN CUP” held high in the air by every priest, bishop & pope. According to Canon Law (church rules), this cup MUST either be pure gold, or solid silver and plated with gold. This woman has committed fornication [or made deals] with the kings of the earth (VERSE 2). The Roman Catholic Church historically has made deals and signed concordats with world leaders since the time of Pepin in the 8th Century (and before), through his son Charlemagne, with all of the Holy Roman Emperors, Henry VIII, Bloody Mary, etc. Moreover, these “deals” have continued all the way down through Reagan, Gorbachev, Elizabeth II, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump & Biden. I already mentioned Hitler and some of the other dictators that this “WOMAN” made deals with. According to VERSE 18, she also reigneth or RULES over the kings of the earth. The RC Church has always claimed the power to depose Kings and Emperors and she has done this many times in the past, and through the Jesuits and others the church has often had religious and world leaders murdered. The woman is “DRUNK” with the blood of the saints and with the martyrs of Jesus (VERSE 6). History records the millions of true Christians & Jews that were slaughtered during the Roman, Medieval and Spanish inquisitions? VERSE 4 also notes that her colors are described as purple and scarlet. These are the official colors of the Roman Catholic Church. All of the cardinals dress in purple and are even called “the Purpled Ones”, and all of the Bishop's vestments are scarlet RED. VERSE 18 tells us that the woman is “A CITY” (VERSE 18), and that it is located on seven mountains or hills (VERSE 9) Rome is located on seven NAMED mountains and the city of Seven Hills is as descriptive a name for Rome as the Windy City is for Chicago! Even the Roman Catholic Encyclopedia refers to Rome as the city of Seven Hills. And in Rev 17 & 18, it says CITY over and over again! Even in Revelation Chapter 14 It reads: Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great CITY because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornications. There can be no doubt from all of these identifying characteristics just one chapter that the woman identified is Rome & the Roman Catholic Church. There are even more identifying characteristics. that can ALL be found in the following chapters of the book of Revelation. Now it would take a whole lot of faith to believe that ALL of these identifying characteristics are just a coincidence. All of the reformers knew this, and they all wrote about it! Just as each of the reformers could see the popes as Anti-Christs! Please read and STUDY the book of Revelation & bible for yourself. And please don’t take my word for it. I might lie to you. Just read & study it for yourself! The bible reads: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15).

@@chriscoke2505 As far as the physical presence, you have heard John chapter six read at mass more than any other chapter in the bible, as I have. When Jesus said: he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood..., but first of all that was NOT said at the last supper, but over a year before. But most of all, they will NEVER finish the chapter when Jesus explains the meaning to his disciples. Jesus said: It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT and they are life. (John 6:63). Jesus said that His words were SPIRITUAL, not physical. He also said I am the true vine. I am the door of the sheep, the light of the world, the good shepherd, the lamb of God, etc. Are they all to be taken literally? He said at the last supper: Do this in MEMORY of me. It's a MEMORIAL TO REMEMBER what he did on the cross. It's not physical. A recent survey of Roman Catholics today showed that most, over 60%, don't even believe in transubstantiation. The R.C. Church will ALWAYS repeat the same things from the bible and repeat them over and over, and take them out of context like "Thou art Peter... The rock was on the WORDS that Peter had just spoken when Peter declared Him to be the Son of God. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. (Matthew 16:16) All of the early church fathers wrote about this including St. Augustine. Moreover, just a few verses later Jesus calls Peter Satan! Get thee behind me Satan! Even Peter himself wrote that Jesus was the rock. And St. Paul wrote: For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (1 Cor 3:11) Read the first 3 chapters of first Corinthians.

I find it encouraging that something closer to the gospel of Jesus should have begun in Lyons. Lyons was the place of the pagan altar of Dagon for sacrifices made to overthrow the Roman Republic. Later, the church in Rome would adopt the demon worship of Lyon's remaining worshippers of Dagon. The ornate altar enclosure resides in the Vatican Museum. Witnesses have attested to child sacrifice on an altar in the Vatican basement, as recently as just a few years ago. The popes and cardinals continue to wear the garments adopted when Dagon worship merged with the church in Rome establishing the Roman Catholic Church. This should be remembered every time you see the Dagon Mitre which signifies the pope as the head of the demonic religion. This does not make the members evil. Good people should simply reject the idea that Roman Catholic traditions are equal to devine scriptures. All Christians are members of the holy catholic church--meaning that we are one. We all partake of the same Word of life. With this bread within, together we reconstitute the body of Christ on earth. "I believe in the Holy catholic church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins and the resurrection of the body"

It was centuries later when the Roman Octavian had the Dagon altar constructed for Lyons at the west end of the Roman Republic and another for the east at Pergamum. (The Pergamum altar, known as the seat of Satan, was captured by Hilter.) Octavian had some idea that these altars would achieve his greatness.

Martin LUDER (later adopted the quasi-Greek "Luther") was never a monk! Just one of the many "inaccuracies" spread by Friar Martin and his followers.And now accepted without question.Time to study the real Friar (NOT "monk") Martin Luder!!

Whatever Luder actually was, FACT is he wrote & printed the “95 Thesis” which spread throughout Europe (mostly N+ W).

History lesson: The year was 538 A.D. and the Emperor of Rome was Justinain, and the General of his army was Belsarius, who was fighting the Ostrogoths, one of the ten remnant kingdoms after 476 A.D. at the gates of Rome. The Bishop of Rome was Silvanus, who was said to be a man of God, but he refused to open the gates to either army. Then the queen, who was said to be a devoted Christain, was petitioned by Justinain and Belsarius to persuade the bishop to open the city gates, which he did, but he was unaware of the plan that Justinain and his General made previously to arrest him and replace him with one who was more like them. History tells that they did just that, and also placed upon bishop Vigilius the Roman emperor's sceptre and the title of Pontifex Maximus, which they all claimed from emperor Constantine. This is the account of the revealing of the son of perdition, and birth of the Little Horn antichrist power. The Ostrogoths, the Heruli, and the Vandals, where all exterminated. This 'little' horn is the same beast that came up from out of the sea, and the woman (Jezebel) who rides the seven headed beast in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. She would be diverse from all others in that she claimed the power of both church and state for one thousand, two hundred and threescore years. She also persecuted the saints of Christ during that time we know of today, as the dark ages. It took another emperor in Napoleon, and another General, to take back the temporal sword, that Justinain had bestowed on her in 538 A.D. Exactly one thousand, two hundred and threescore years later in 1798 A.D. which is the same as a time, and a times, and the dividing of time (a half of time), which is the same as 42 months. Seven times in the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation are we given this prophecy of the time of the Little Horn. God does not want us to get this wrong, for if we don't know who the antichrist beast is, then we will except his mark of authority. This is when the beast was put into captivity, and prophecy tells us that this wound will be healed, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go into perdition, after the deadly wound is healed.

I was glad to see you mentioned Unitariansm but I wish you would have brought up Michael Servetus, humanist and erstwhile comrade of Calvin during their education in France. They disagreed strongly, and the latter abused his growing power to persecute the former, eventually luring him to Geneva where he had him burned at the stake. This angered the Genevans who then banished Calvin from the city. As for the first ever regime of religious tolerance that transpired in Translyvania, this came about because of the Unitarian Francis David's influence on the young king and not the other way around. Unfortunately, it didn't outlast the king's short reign and the denominations' followers wound up finding refuge in Poland where they were tolerated by the Catholics there for a time. As you mention, it made its way to Great Britain, where it is still essentially practiced as a Christian religion, and then to America where it had some non negligeable influence on the formation of the US system of government. Although it has never had large numbers of practitioners, it and Universalism with which it merged in the mid 20th century, have had outsized infuence on reforming major social issues such as abolition and the equal participation of women in the life of the city, and many others. Unitarian Universalism is no longer strictly Christian but draws on many wisdom traditions and is based on principles and shared values rather than dogma.

There were Protestants even back in the 1200s?! I thought Hus and Luthor were the first one. I wonder if there were more before that? This is making me question my Catholicism.

They were not Protestants, they often had wildly different, often extremely heretical beliefs. Also, Hus and the Hussites were not Protestants, they differed in a number of ways from Lutherans, especially on the issue of images.

[@kjvnews8326]

You should question it. It's the most evil institution on the face of the earth. And I was raised a Catholic, went to a Catholic school. My mother's sister was a nun and my family goes back Catholic more than 3 centuries on both sides. Read and STUDY the bible. Almost everything the church teaches is condemned in the bible, such as praying to Mary and saints. it is rightly called the Mother of Harlots and ABOMINATIONS of the earth in Revelation. Almost every verse SCREAMS Roman Catholic Church! In Chapter 17 there are many descriptions of a woman that’s riding on a beast, and she is described as “THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH”. To begin with, this woman is called "MYSTERY' Babylon. (Revelation 17 VERSE 5) The Catholic church ADMITS that it is a 'Mystery Religion”, due to the supposed Mystery of transubstantiation. She has also continued all of the other MYSTERIES of ancient Babylon including celibacy, oral confessions & idol worship. She is also defined as a “MOTHER”, a mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth. No other institution but the Catholic Church has ever referred to itself as “MOTHER” Who has not heard priests, bishops, Cardinals and popes all use the term “Our holy “MOTHER’ the Church”? What about the Harlots? Throughout the centuries, the priestly vow of celibacy caused a need for prostitutes (harlots) like never before and the church has made a fortune taxing the houses of prostitution in Rome and throughout the Papal States. What about her abominations? Just a few of these include the Crusades, Inquisitions and concordats that the Vatican signed with three dictators - Franco, Mussolini and Hitler, not to mention the thousands of sodomite and pedophile Roman Catholic priests stationed all over the world. Need any more be said about abominations? This woman is described as having “A Golden Cup in Her Hand” (VERSE 4). The gold communion cup that the priest uses during mass is the symbol of the church, and you can see this “GOLDEN CUP” held high in the air by every priest, bishop & pope. According to Canon Law (church rules), this cup MUST either be pure gold, or solid silver and plated with gold. This woman has committed fornication [or made deals] with the kings of the earth (VERSE 2). The Roman Catholic Church historically has made deals and signed concordats with world leaders since the time of Pepin in the 8th Century (and before), through his son Charlemagne, with all of the Holy Roman Emperors, Henry VIII, Bloody Mary, etc. Moreover, these “deals” have continued all the way down through Reagan, Gorbachev, Elizabeth II, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump & Biden. I already mentioned Hitler and some of the other dictators that this “WOMAN” made deals with. According to VERSE 18, she also reigneth or RULES over the kings of the earth. The RC Church has always claimed the power to depose Kings and Emperors and she has done this many times in the past, and through the Jesuits and others the church has often had religious and world leaders murdered. The woman is “DRUNK” with the blood of the saints and with the martyrs of Jesus (VERSE 6). History records the millions of true Christians & Jews that were slaughtered during the Roman, Medieval and Spanish inquisitions? VERSE 4 also notes that her colors are described as purple and scarlet. These are the official colors of the Roman Catholic Church. All of the cardinals dress in purple and are even called “the Purpled Ones”, and all of the Bishop's vestments are scarlet RED. VERSE 18 tells us that the woman is “A CITY” (VERSE 18), and that it is located on seven mountains or hills (VERSE 9) Rome is located on seven NAMED mountains and the city of Seven Hills is as descriptive a name for Rome as the Windy City is for Chicago! Even the Roman Catholic Encyclopedia refers to Rome as the city of Seven Hills. And in Rev 17 & 18, it says CITY over and over again! Even in Revelation Chapter 14 It reads: Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great CITY because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornications. There can be no doubt from all of these identifying characteristics just one chapter that the woman identified is Rome & the Roman Catholic Church. There are even more identifying characteristics. that can ALL be found in the following chapters of the book of Revelation. Now it would take a whole lot of faith to believe that ALL of these identifying characteristics are just a coincidence. All of the reformers knew this, and they all wrote about it! Just as each of the reformers could see the popes as Anti-Christs! Please read and STUDY the book of Revelation & bible for yourself. And please don’t take my word for it. I might lie to you. Just read & study it for yourself! The bible reads: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15).

"monkish life"- how so? Luder (invented name Luther) was never a monk,never entered a monastery. To the disgust of his father, Martin Luder became a minor friar in an Augustinian-rule congregation founded by a Pope! Certain touch of irony there. This "monk" story has been perpetuated over centuries. Meanwhile Friar Martin's mad ravings against Jews are quietly side-lined. But not by the Nazi Reich!!

[@ShirleyAnnPetrillo-oj7sc]

I’ve read several times “Luther” hated Jews and said so. What I can’t find is IF such was a common hostility even if to a much lesser degree in his time and place. Hitler was impressed with RCC and their indoctrination success inspiring him to form Hitler Youth. Get them young & Drill the desired ideology into them. He also loved Eugenics. Hatred of Jews existed, but it seems to have taken the form of blindness, indifference, apathy for most Germans, but some loved & helped their Jewish neighbors There was some sort of occult practices occurring within the Nazi regime. Freemasonry or Illuminati interest in Egypt/Babylon sorcery. Some say there’s a shared root of all the above which is the worship of Satan. They call him Lucifer.

1:95 “Mass (by parish priests) was often nothing more than priests reciting verses in broken Latin that neither he nor his Congregation understood.” So interesting and true, I am sure. I’ve often wondered about how people found something meaningful from that practice … or even in Hebrew, as in my Congregation. Maybe the familiar sonic portion of the sounds are like a cat purring. Comforting … Especially in this epic, the 1500s. Mumbo jumbo must have been quite an art. I like the graphics and story. Thanks.

[@johncalligeros2108]

That is a very interesting observation. The fetishization of Latin over the vernaculars is comparable to the incantation of mantras in Vedic sacrificial ceremonies and Hinduism in general. Their recitation imputes magical potency to the sounds themselves, so that they become tantamount to spells.

You have a massive burden on yourself to prove that in light of the nature of crucifixion. It was “a big deal.” In fact.. to survive this Roman torture would be a near miraculous feat.

[@Nimai_Aquino]

People found something meaningful because it is. If you were a christian and heard someone praying in arabic or chinese, it isn’t meaningful because you don’t understand his language? The mass was (and the latin rite is still celebrated in many places) and should be in latin because we are the Roman Catholic church in the west. Our tradition comes from latin. If we were greeks we would celebrate in Greek, if we were Armenians we would celebrate in armenian, if we were lebanese we would celebrate in aramaic and the same thing for the 24 rites of the Catholic Church. The thing is, protestants hate authority and tradition, they want to be their own religious leader. They ignore that one can be more versed than him in the things of God and should be followed. They think that anyone who can read can be a religious leader.

He is the door to the sanctuary; Jesus is the door to the Kingdom of heaven. He is the inner court surrounded by white linen; which is symbolic of being covered Christ prefect righteousness. He is our passover sacrificed for us on burnt alter for sacrifice. He is the laver for washing; symbolic of the rebirth, being born again of the Spirit. He is the table of Showbread; the two stacks of loves of bread are symbolic of the word of God (the bread of life) in two testaments / witnesses, also the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles. He is the Lampstand; the oil being symbolic of his Spirit; the Lampstand symbolic of his light unto the world. He is our Altar of incense; making intercession for his saints. He is our Mercy seat covering the Ark of the covenant; Jesus is both our advocate standing for his saints with the Father and He is our judge in judment. Jesus Christ caused the sacrifices and their oblations to cease, (Dan 9:27) by his one perfect sacrifice. In contrast to the time of the Gentiles, wherefore the sanctuary of God is trodden under foot for forty and two months. How so? This church who calls herself the mother church, claims to be *the door* to salvation. And the white linen surrounding the inner court is the righteousness of Mary and the saints of the Roman church. She claims that Christ sacrifice and Atonement for sin was not sufficient, for she instituted seven (works) sacraments. She through infant baptism makes a mockery of the rebirth of the new man. Her Catechism thinks to replace the inspired word of God. Her prayers to dead saints and to Mary, thinks to replace Christ work of intercession at the altar of incense. Hers is a false spirit which thinks to cover the light of truth. This beast and her king think to change times and laws of God. And goeth into perdition.
