We all know someone who is part of Roman Catholicism.....please read carefully and if you feel you need to share...please do so...There is but one gospel..... Jesus's death buriel and resurrection,alone....not man made additions. QUESTION Is Catholicism a false religion? ANSWER ......From Got Questions website. (Your questions..Biblical Answers) The most crucial problem with the Roman Catholic Church is its belief that faith alone in Christ is not sufficient for salvation. The Bible clearly and consistently states that receiving Jesus Christ as Savior, by grace through faith, grants salvation (John 1:12; 3:16,18,36; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10,13; Ephesians 2:8-9). The Roman Catholic Church rejects this. The official position of the Roman Catholic Church is that a person must believe in Jesus Christ AND be baptized AND receive the Eucharist along with the other sacraments AND obey the decrees of the Roman Catholic Church AND perform meritorious works AND not die with any mortal sins AND etc., etc., etc. Catholic divergence from the Bible on this most crucial of issues, salvation, means that yes, Catholicism is a false religion. If a person believes what the Catholic Church officially teaches, he/she will not be saved. Any claim that works or rituals must be added to faith in order for salvation to be achieved is a claim that Jesus’ death was not sufficient to fully purchase our salvation. While salvation by faith is the most crucial issue, in comparing Roman Catholicism with the Word of God, there are many other differences and contradictions as well. The Roman Catholic Church teaches many doctrines that are in disagreement with what the Bible declares. These include apostolic succession, worship of saints or Mary, prayer to saints or Mary, the pope / papacy, infant baptism, transubstantiation, plenary indulgences, the sacramental system, and purgatory. While Catholics claim Scriptural support for these concepts, none of these teachings have any solid foundation in the clear teaching of Scripture. These concepts are based on Catholic tradition, not the Word of God. In fact, they all clearly contradict Biblical principles. In regards to the question “Are Catholics saved?”, this is a more difficult question to answer. It is impossible to give a universal statement on the salvation of all members of any denomination of Christianity. Not ALL Baptists are saved. Not ALL Presbyterians are saved. Not ALL Lutherans are saved. Salvation is determined by personal faith in Jesus alone for salvation, not by titles or denominational identification. Despite the unbiblical beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, there are genuine believers who attend Roman Catholic churches. There are many Roman Catholics who have genuinely placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. However, these Catholic Christians are believers despite what the Catholic Church teaches, not because of what it teaches. To varying degrees, the Catholic Church teaches from the Bible and points people to Jesus Christ as the Savior. As a result, people are sometimes saved in Catholic churches. The Bible has an impact whenever it is proclaimed (Isaiah 55:11). Catholic Christians remain in the Catholic Church out of ignorance of what the Catholic Church truly stands for, out of family tradition and peer pressure, or out of a desire to reach other Catholics for Christ. At the same time, the Catholic Church also leads many people away from a genuine faith relationship with Christ. The unbiblical beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church have often given the enemies of Christ opportunity to blaspheme. The Roman Catholic Church is not the church that Jesus Christ established. It is not a church that is based on the teachings of the Apostles (as described in the Book of Acts and the New Testament epistles). While Jesus’ words in Mark 7:9 were directed towards the Pharisees, they accurately describe the Roman Catholic Church, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!”

Please don’t stop, you help me a lot with your video’s. I saw so many souls in purgatory asking for prayer since I was little, that I thought I was crazy. Thanks to your video’s I know I’m not. Since my conversion 4 years ago I over all my pain and prayer for them, because of your video’s. You help a lot of people Alvero. A few days go even the souls from purgatory ask me to pray for you, specifically the Saint Michael prayer. I was confused why they asked me that, they never did that. God answer my prayer through your video’s. “Don’t worry the choirs will sing to others, and they will listen.” My Guardian Angel For example my story: My sister in law are muslim, my husband and I converted to catholic (his from Islam and I’m from protestant). I told her about your video’s, during that time I was still struggling about praying for souls in purgatory. So at that time I stopped praying for 7 days. Then by God grace my sister in law had a dream she saw so many people queued in front of the fence of our house, they didn't dare to enter and she said they asked where I was. She said they were all dirty and thirsty, finally my sister-in-law gave them something to drink. She was very surprised that there was a small child around 8 years old. When she's a wake, she prays for them then she asked me, are you stopping praying for the souls in purgatory? And I was like how do you know, she’s told me about her dream, and begged me not to stop praying for them. Think of it like this you’re our conductor, the Lord our musicals Director, and we the choirs that scattered around the world that will sing and people will hear our beautiful voice.

There are so many stories such as the young woman who had lost her job and went to church to pray leaving the last bit of her money in the church when she came out a young man approached her and said he knew of a woman who needed a maid. The young woman went to the house knocked on the door and the woman answered with agitation asking what she wanted? The young girl said I was told you needed a maid. The woman quickly shouted back who told you this and she described the young man to the woman. The woman eventually let the young girl in and upon entering the woman's house she saw a picture of a young man on the woman's table and shouted that's the man! The woman almost angrily said how could that be that my son he already died. She eventually believed the young woman and started to cry and took her in as her own

WOW!! God sure works in mysterious ways! Thanks for sharing! Shalom 🙏

[@juliabishop1968]

I try to remember to bring the souls in Purgatory to Holy Mass, placing them at the foot of the Cross and asking dear Jesus to "Cover the poor souls in Purgatory with His Precious Blood to cool down their scorching flames." Remembering souls in Purgatory who have no one to pray for them, the souls of Priests, Protestants and forgotten souls. I ask dear Jesus to be merciful to any Priestly souls in Purgatory who have ever ministered the Sacraments to me during my/their life, as a debt of gratitude to them in case there are any suffering in Purgatory.

[@BobSmith-vq3uo]

Your channel is a Godsend for the confused faith of many Christians in these times. Many years ago, while training to be a missionary in central Mexico, I was appointed to lead a youth group in a parish. 10 years later, I had the opportunity to return to Mexico and visit the parish. I spent a night at the home of one of the youth group members. Sitting on the edge of the bed praying, I became aware of a luminous older woman standing before me. I asked, "Who are you?" She answered that she was the grandmother of the former youth group member living in that house. I said to her, "What do you want from me?" She told me, "Tell Carmen (her granddaughter) I love her." I said, "Okay", and with that she disappeared. The next day I asked "Carmen" what her relationship was like with her grandmother. She explained that it was cold - there was respect, but no affection shown by her grandmother. I told her what had happened, relayed her grandmother's message to "tell Her I love her", and she started to cry. I always felt that her grandmother was sent to bring healing to her granddaughter's heart, and to help make up for the hardness of heart that she had shown her. God is so good and merciful.

[@catherineholmes2254]

[@jeffreysharp8526]

Being raised in an unchurched Lutheran family, the admonition "to offer it up" made no sense. At best, it was thought of as superstition. After reading myself into the church and getting a spiritual director, he once explained that God invites us to PARTICIPATE in his Devine life. Gradually, a great deal of Catholic life and practice have become clear. The idea that we can participate in purgatorial suffering now, during this life, is astounding and actually a great joy. My neck, back, feet and legs are the source of no little discomfort and all is offered for the souls in Purgatory. Also, my daily Rosary & the Chaplet of St Gertrude are daily offered. Sometimes, a Mass is offered for them. Perhaps, videos can be made explaining how these help those in Purgatory. Just a thought. Thanks for everything you do. Pax

So many people aren’t familiar with the Apostolic Pardon to be said when one is close to death by a priest. Another great topic would be to talk about “Accidental Glory,” which again, very few are familiar with it. Bless you for your outstanding show!

I think God led me to you. My father passed away back in October and it weighs heavily in my mind about saving his soul from purgatory. I received from God an answer that he's safe from hell but I fear he's in a low level in purgatory suffering. Praying to St Joseph, the Rosary, Divine Mercy chaplet and the 12 year novena to honor His drops of blood - to save my soul and my family and the past 4 generations from purgatory. I'm hoping to pray for all the souls including my family. 🙏❤️

These lessons about Purgatory...these examples of those who endure the purifying fires...these souls who knew better but did not do better are all so very important.

when we suffer we must offer our sufferings for the remission of our sins as God allows this so that we spend less time in purgatory. Offer your sufferings also for the souls in purgatory, for the conversion of siners, for the intentions of the Virgin Mary Mother of God.

Please keep making these Purgatory videos. I once told Rosie how I deal with any pain that I have to endure and what I do with it. ( Rosie was in extreme pain) and so I said to her why don't you do what I do, you have nothing to loose but good can come from it. I told Rosie that I offer all of my pain for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for The Soul that is closest to Heaven, for The Soul that is furthest from Heaven and for The Souls who have been forgotten or have no-one to Pray for them. On the last day before Rosie died, she was at so much peace it was beautiful. Rosie whispered to me as she could bearley talk by now and asked for my Rosary. I layed it down before her and she held The Crucifix. Rosie's eyes had been fixed just above the door and she kept reaching out with the other hand. I had said The Rosary, The Divine Mercy Chaplet, The Chaplet of St Gertrude, The Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart, St Joseph. I sent My Guardian Angel to join Rosie's Guardian Angel, Every prayer for the dying I could find, I Prayed for Rosie and the safety of her soul. Tears were flowing from my eyes and although she was in agonising pain from the Raynauds which was taking the oxygen from her blood cells and the gangrene which had set in weeks before, Rosie would not accept any pain relief, just a sip of water. Rosie was so calm and peaceful just looking at what she was seeing just above the door. For about 19 hours this was how it was. I could see that Rosie had surrendered to Gods Mercy. As an onlooker it was as if Rosie was in ecstasy her gaze never altered. Then Rosie fell asleep and 2 hours later died.

I'm suffering right now from a surgery I had almost a week ago. I have to make sure I take some steps that I don't ruin the surgery. It's been difficult and painful. I offer it up. All the time. I have a picture of the Holy Face of Jesus in my room. I look at it often and tell Jesus I offer up my suffering for the poor souls in Purgatory. Especially for those that have no one to pray for them. I feel like they're calling out to me to pray for them. There's so many of them. I ask everyone to pray for all souls there. I feel as this is my calling to pray and suffer for the ones that get no prayers.

[@parent-alerte2562]

Was on my way to the hospital. My dad 93 was actively on his last hours of life. I asked a dear friend to pray the chaplet of Divine Mercy and i did so at the foot of his bed when i arrived counting on the promise of Jesus to saint Faustina. Even the worst of sinners would not go to hell She also had mass Intentions offered the following Saturday after his death. I was still a bit worried because he did not have the last rites and had refused to confess his sin before. The priest arrived 10 minutes after his passing. I asked Jesus going to Sunday mass to confirm he was ok at least in purgatory. After mass was invited to eat at Subways nearby. And my friend told me dad had appeared to her and thanked her for her prayers! Alleluia and sorry Jesus for my lack of faith.

I have not seen most of your videos, but what I have watched is so inspiring. You asked about ideas. Maybe you've covered this -- Masses said for the souls in Purgatory, most especially family members. My son took his life due to Huntington's Disease. He had not been in church in decades and this mom prayed continuously for his soul. God impressed upon me to have Masses said for him. I did...many! 2 1/2 years later I felt I heard, "7 more Masses." I arranged for them with the church's timing. Then one day, before #7 Mass I heard, "This is the one." It is comforting to know God listens to a Mother's pleas and to know that someday I will reunite with my son in heaven.

Help the younger generation to understand purgatory they don’t have a clue.I guess it’s our fault as we have not spoken about it.

[@burkeiowa]

Purgatory is always an interesting topic. Believed by some, and not by others. It leaves so many souls who are not prayed for, while facing that agony. I like the mix of perspectives in terms of praying for them, and trying to do what is needed to avoid it, ourselves. Of course, that brings up confession. For far too long, I didn't do that. Then I started to go every year or two when there was communal reconciliation. It wasn't until I decided I ought to do the Five First Saturday's (from Fatima), that it got me into a monthly routine. I figured going once wasn't going to be too hard, and a second time would naturally follow. Five times seemed doable. Plus, I figured that I'd hate to have gotten 3-4 in and not finish 5. By the time it could get harder, it could feel like a point of no return where one might as well continue with confessions to finish off the five. Once complete, it made sense to keep doing it. One sees the fruits of it, and the routine is established. I think it's a good devotion to promote to get people back into that habit. It's more than just a one-time thing, and yet it's not overwhelming. It's just long enough for a person to be challenged, but not overwhelming enough to cause lots of people to not even start.

[@bethdulin5382]

Totally agree! I was a lukewarm Catholic for many many years. Then I came back, but still struggled with confession. I'd go, but never really really went. Finally, I got myself to make a general confession and that made a huge difference for me. I think it was then that I found the strength through His Grace to let Him pull me all the way back in. I have completed the 5 first Saturdays by 3 and keep going. I go to confession every other week, I don't love confession like I love Mass but maybe someday I will. I just pray for the Grace to keep the path and not fall again. Now I hate sinning, it's so much easier not to sin when you confess regularly and consider how much it hurts Him and our relationship with Him. I was so excited to find this channel because I had started a devotion to the souls in purgatory, and now I have a family here that feels it too. Have a wonderful Advent!

As for ourselves, we have the promise of the Dolorean Rosary (Our Lady of Sorrows) that if we pray it daily she has obtained for us: "this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son will be their eternal consolation and joy.” As Father Ripperger calls it: "a get out of purgatory free card".

Please continue creating videos about purgatory. I'm a cancer survivor and your videos teach me how to spend the remaining years of my life.

[@jameswalch8688]

You need to keep going with this subject. And it doesn't matter that you are preaching to the choir as we are spreading these revelations to others. Armed with the information in your teachings we are spreading the word about purgatory and using pain and suffering to help the holy saints there, and ourselves. It is wonderful to see the look on other peoples faces when they realize all the good their suffering can do for others. Pain then becomes a gift to help others versus something to only be endured. Keep up the fine work God has anointed you to do. 👼

[@edithchuks2635]

You are doing great with your videos on purgatory. Tons of people still fo not know about purgatory or what is known is superficial. Our Lord and Our Lady is using you as a means toake this truth known! May the Good Lord Bless you and give you all the help and grace you need! Amen!

This is an amazing channel, Alvaro. I mean this with the utmost sincerity: I hope this channel does not become too popular or too, um, commercialized (?). Or that pride creeps in and poisons the fruit of your labor. I hope that you, and all of us for that matter, continually increase our humility instead. Please, please continue your work with these videos! They are very edifying to the faithful, and obviously very beneficial to our brothers and sisters in Christ who are members of the Church Suffering. If you could do a series of videos from that Purgatory Museum in Rome, that would be awesome! Keep going Alvaro!!!

I don't recall specifically making it as a promise, but I wanted to be sure to pray the rosary every day of Advent... I've missed a few days. But, if i start again today I will still have prayed for more than half of the days! God, give me the grace to follow through.

[@soniarand9119]

Amen! Please never stop talking about and making videos on purgatory. You truly have the God given gift on making these special videos and I thank you. Because of your purgatory videos I am now passionately praying for the poor souls in purgatory every day. Deo Gratias. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@marymendoza1037]

I just discovered this channel. Very helpful. Have you ever heard the testimony of Gloria Polo? That would give you lots of info as well.

[@hecker0402]

Video on St. Teresa's little way of suffering and how she told one of the nuns God did not want us to go to purgatory and the nun did not believe her, she returned after her death and said she suffed greatly in purgatory for not believing.

[@hecker0402]

I found St. Theresa's teachings on purgatory on the website Carmelite Quotes.

Thank you, your channel has made more aware of the life beyond. Can't help it these days but pray for the souls departed from this earthly realm.

[@shannarajohnson-pp8bs]

Me too. I've developed much more of a devotion to the holy souls in Purgatory, and I'm praying for them every day now.

[@prugarcia5856]

As for me I really love to hear stories about the souls in purgatory, how they suffer and how they are eventually set free!

[@knownow486]

Keep doing this brother you’re awesome

[@maggierainville3321]

A genuine, authentic explanation of suffering: what it is and what it isn’t. How to suffer well. What to do if we don’t suffer well for a moment, or day, or week. None of my sufferings have been extended illnesses.

[@phoebedigs1356]

I’m devoted to the poor souls in purgatory. Keep up the good work. I wish I had a story to tell you to help.

[@mutuuzodozita2965]

[@Jesus-I-Trust-In-You_]

Thank you so much for this channel! I just found your KZbin video that talks about the “Manuscript’s on Purgatory” I’m reading it now. I feel a devotion to the suffering souls in purgatory, and your videos help me to continue on with prayers and works for them. You are in my prayers.

Praise the the lord Jesus Christ and Ave Maria 🎉 Dear brother thanks 🙏🏻 for the video of purgatory, pls continue the reall testimonials of souls of purgatory thanks 🙏🏻 so much

At the Tre Fontane in Rome, the place where St Paul was imprisoned before his martyrdom, is now a chapel, S. Maria Scala Coeli. The name of the chapel, "stairs to heaven" was derived by the vision of St Bernard Clairvaux while celebrating mass. In a side chapel there is a beautiful painting depicting the scene of St Bernard celebrating Mass. It was here when i first learnt about why we pray for the Souls. And since then, i pray to them every day. The shrine in Rome, so called "little Milan duomo" is also amazing. Here in this place I received a message from the Lord to devote my life to praying for the holy souls. Now on my suggested friends list in Facebook, I am getting friends and acquaintances who have died. Some of them from 10 years or more ago. I believe the Lord asks us us to pray for these souls. I live in Assisi. Id love to show you around when you come to Italy! The Lord will bring you here! 🙏 I love your videos! Keep them coming!!

[@DeesStoryVault]

Love this video. I recently downloaded the “Unpublished Manuscript on Purgatory”, and it is fascinating to say the least. It causes me to think differently about the consequences of sin!!!
