Whether its Mary or the Saints, non-Catholics believe Catholics worship them.  We know it is not true, and there are a lot of other false assertions on what Catholics believe, so we explain the truth.  We also have fun letting Catholics know some things they might not about what the church does believe.

00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:03.120
Waiting the day night sounds.

2
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:07.320
I'm gotta get to the star bugs, get some magic,

3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:17.879
be on my way, magical as was my lone. You

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:23.280
don't know, there's no for that today.

5
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.559
Well, hello everyone, and welcome to these days. I'm Jeff

6
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.519
and we're gonna talking about Stephane. We're gonna be talking

7
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.719
about these days by a Catholic perspective, steph Hower. Things

8
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:34.719
out in Tennessee old today.

9
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.479
It's a little chili. I mean it's a pretty fall day,

10
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.600
but a little too chilly for me. How are things

11
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:42.640
up there in Colorado?

12
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.719
Same? It's just it's fall now, so I mean, there's

13
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:47.719
it is what it is. I mean it's this is

14
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.479
a really nice day. I mean we've had about three

15
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.479
days with just bad win. So today it's upper sixties,

16
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:54.320
no wind. I'll take it.

17
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.520
Yeah, I'll take it. I actually did get to go

18
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:58.679
read my book outside and I just had to find

19
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:00.960
a patch of sun because like, if you're in the sun,

20
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.560
it feels pretty good, but if you're in the sheade,

21
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:03.439
it's pretty chilly.

22
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.159
Yeah, but it's not a surprise. I've kind of figured out.

23
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.159
It does this every year.

24
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.439
It does do this every year. You're a smart guy smart,

25
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:12.200
and you know what.

26
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.799
I also think. I'm pretty sure, I'm confident about it's

27
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.079
gonna get colder. It's gonna get colder before it gets warmer.

28
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.280
I think you're probably right about that. Yeah, so I

29
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.799
got to brace myself because I don't like the cold weather.

30
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.920
No, but I guess there's always the ying and the

31
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:28.640
yang and the good and the bad. And if you

32
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.239
want the warm, you have to have the cold right right, and.

33
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.200
You have to have you know, it makes you appreciate,

34
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.879
it makes you appreciate the spring to have the winter.

35
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.120
So I guess you yeah, I guess it makes it. Yeah,

36
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:41.760
I don't know. I'm kind of thinking that now that

37
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.400
I'm getting older. I had a those tropical climates where

38
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.959
it's just nice all the year round, but it's still nice.

39
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.680
That's all the retired people moved to Florida and they're like,

40
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.200
just give me the sunshine all year. Yeah.

41
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:56.760
I don't know if I want to want to do that, though,

42
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.400
but I don't. I'm kind of lazy. I don't like moving.

43
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.040
I don't like either.

44
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.319
I don't want have moved twice every year, every spring

45
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.480
and every fall. I like going to college again.

46
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.039
I know, I'm with you. I'm with you there.

47
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.719
So you have anything fun happening out there in Tennessee.

48
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:16.199
Well, so yesterday was Poke John Paul the second Speace stay,

49
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.759
which was so this will be airing, you know, a

50
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.439
couple of days later. But yesterday, while we're recording, this

51
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.280
was the twenty second. So I's Pope John Paul Speece day.

52
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.039
And what is amazing to me? So I get up

53
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.280
yesterday morning, walked to the bathroom and there is I

54
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.319
have a necklace with his picture on it. And it's

55
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.800
like a color picture. It's not like a one of

56
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.919
these metals you know that's like gold or silver. It's

57
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.360
a color picture of him and my priest friend that

58
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.879
married me and my husband. He went to Poland right after,

59
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.719
not long after we got married, and he brought us back.

60
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.520
He blessed them, and he brought us back these poked

61
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.360
On Paul necklaces from Poland. Anyway, so it's been sitting

62
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.360
up there because I never I don't wear it. I

63
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.400
wear my Maraulous medal every day. But I had never

64
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.439
in all my years of having necklaces, gotten up to

65
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.120
find one on the floor. Never. And I go in

66
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.719
the bathroom and his necklace is on the floor, and

67
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.159
I think, huh, that's strange. And I mean, I've been

68
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.159
doing this long enough, I know, right, I'm like, okay,

69
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.400
Pope John Pa, I'm like what. And I do call

70
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.120
on him a lot and I do ask him for

71
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.319
intercession a lot, and I love him. So I'm like,

72
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.280
what are you trying to tell me about today? I'm

73
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:27.840
like okay. So I kind of just said, okay, we'll

74
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.879
see what happens. I put it back up and then

75
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.960
it wasn't long after that my friend called me and

76
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.159
she's like, well, you know, today's his feast stay and

77
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.840
I was like, I had no idea, but that was

78
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.520
pretty cool. So I did. I did get to go

79
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.599
to mass on his feast day and kind of talk

80
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.599
to him and I don't know, he's got he's got

81
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.840
something up his sleeve helping me out in my life.

82
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.439
I'm not sure what exactly it, but that was kind

83
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:49.000
of a cool thing.

84
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:50.639
Well, you have to go to mass if you wake

85
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.360
up and his necklaces on the floor.

86
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.039
It's right, and he's telling me you better get your

87
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:56.000
bad to mask today.

88
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:00.960
Stefanie Gray, you know, and yeah, that's one of the

89
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:05.240
topics about today is things that Catholics don't even realize

90
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.360
that they whether they believe it or not. You know,

91
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.879
they're kind of getting mixed with They hear the procedent

92
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:11.719
and say that, oh, this is what Catholics believe, and

93
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.639
so then they actually think that that's what the Catholic

94
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.079
Church believes in, but they don't believe it, right, A'm

95
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.959
not making any sense. Yeah, certain things that let's just say, worldwide,

96
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.360
even Catholics, there are some things that just aren't true.

97
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:29.560
For instance, that the Catholic Church that they basically worship

98
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.680
saints and Mary and that kind of thing, and they

99
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.560
don't understand about the intercession part.

100
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.319
Right, Yeah, and I heard recently somebody say something so

101
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.279
so go logical about that. They're like, if you even

102
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.879
ask somebody to pray for you, literally, if you ask

103
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.680
your friend to pray for you, you're asking for their intercession.

104
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.560
So who better to ask for their intercession than the

105
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.240
Mother of God who, no matter how much you love her,

106
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.000
you'll never love her as much as Jesus did.

107
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.439
Well no, no, then they said that, well, you just

108
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.480
worshiped Mary, no, we ask for her intercession? All you

109
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.439
pray to her? Well, if you listen to the prayer.

110
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.600
It says right towards the beginning, pray for us. It's

111
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.480
not saying it now in.

112
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.720
The hour of our death. And I can't tell you

113
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.560
how many people and mystics have seen the demons that

114
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.000
show up at the moment of your death to get you.

115
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.639
And if you're in a weak state, they might. You know,

116
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.480
people don't realize. We'll get into that later. But how

117
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:26.000
fragile salvation is. And if your blessed mother is there

118
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.279
what she gave us on the cross, If Mary's there

119
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.480
at the moment of your death, which she promises to be,

120
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.040
for everybody who's had a devotion, who's prayed to ros

121
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.000
who's prayed the Rosary on a daily basis, Well, the

122
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.800
demons aren't going to come near you. I'll tell you

123
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:39.079
that they're not coming near you.

124
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.920
Mary's there, had this one I wouldn't come a friend

125
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.920
and we went to high school together, we played football together,

126
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:45.759
but then we haven't seen each other since high school.

127
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.680
And then of course with Facebook, you connect with all

128
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.000
these people you haven't seen in thirty forty years. Right,

129
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.519
And he is actually he's Protestant, but he is really

130
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.199
he's borders on Catholic beliefs. You know that you know,

131
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.759
if you're raised one way and even though you're kind

132
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:03.800
of being stretched the other way, If that makes any sense,

133
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.480
He's kind of right. He kind of follows the Catholic doctrine,

134
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.240
but he still defends his products anyway, he has all

135
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.839
these Well, he was one time he was we were

136
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.399
typing back and forth and he said, well, you know,

137
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.360
I've sent basically the same discussion, like no, we do

138
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.800
not worship the Saints and all this kind of stuff.

139
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.160
And he said, well, supposedly, if the Catholic Church formed anything,

140
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.199
the original guys in the Catholic Church, they didn't pray

141
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.439
the saints. And I go, because they were the first saints.

142
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.480
Who are they supposed to pray to?

143
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:31.519
That's a good point.

144
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.360
And he goes, well yeah, but yeah, and he goes, well,

145
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.040
they didn't pray to the people in the Bible go

146
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.480
because they were Jews. Why wouldn't the new Catholics or

147
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.600
the new Christians be praying to the old Jews?

148
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:43.319
Right?

149
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.360
Well, so he goes, well, let's change subjects because you

150
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:47.120
got me on that one.

151
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.360
And yeah, And people didn't realize the definition of saying

152
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.560
is just somebody who we know for sure is in heaven.

153
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.120
So you know, there's my friend, my priest friend. Once

154
00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.519
he said, well, he goes. They talk about, you know,

155
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.560
we're all called to be saints, we're all called to

156
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:07.319
get to heaven obviously. And you know, if only I

157
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.639
said that to one of my YMCA guys the other day,

158
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.279
I said, you know, the only people in heaven are

159
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.000
saints and angels. He was like really, I'm like, yeah,

160
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.120
I don't think people understand what the definition of a

161
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.279
saint is. I'm like, this, being a saint means you

162
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.399
made it to heaven, that's all it means. And of

163
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.639
course the angels never left heaven because there's spirit. They

164
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:25.439
were never humans.

165
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.360
So well, not only that, when you read the Bible,

166
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.879
I mean, it doesn't matter what denomination you are, you're

167
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.600
going to be reading it's they're going to be we're

168
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.639
praying to the saints, you know, and they bring up

169
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.079
saints and all that kind of stuff.

170
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.839
Yeah, And the Creed, which was made in the what

171
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.199
first or third century, it says we believe in the

172
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.800
Holy Catholic Church. The Communion of Saints is right there

173
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.480
in the Creed. I think that's third century. But that's

174
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:49.360
pretty early on.

175
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:53.120
Since we're already talking about JP two. That's sacrilegious to

176
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:53.879
calling GP two.

177
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.160
I think, so that's cool now, I think it sounds cool.

178
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.399
We have a high school here called that GP two.

179
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:04.000
Uh huh, that is cool. But anyway, on his birthday

180
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.639
back in nineteen ninety two, he had to take one

181
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.079
for the team. See everybody out there, they thinks, well,

182
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.519
the Catholics are so strict. They they're total creationists. You know,

183
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.519
they're science deniers, they're flat earthers and all this kind

184
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.920
of stuff. They don't realize that the whole Big Bank

185
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.279
theory was brought together by a Belgian priest.

186
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.879
Yeah, it was a Belgian priest that came up with it,

187
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.680
and that is the accepted theory to this day for

188
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:34.000
what astrophysicists or whatever, physics people, big bang theory people,

189
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.120
Sheldon kind of people that, you know, that's what I

190
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.440
think of. But yeah, it's still the accepted theory that

191
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.600
the universe was created from one big bang, which a

192
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:42.960
priest came up with.

193
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.360
Well, and it makes sense because what was the first

194
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.159
thing God did? He spoke it into existence, So yeah,

195
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.279
he was now former I don't know what he would

196
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.559
have said, but okay, go the boom.

197
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.159
Yeah, it's like if God speaks something, it's so powerful

198
00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.720
that bam and all the matter kind of explodes and

199
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.600
it just you know, starts to form its still around

200
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:03.919
around his vision.

201
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.320
But the Catholics, so they did have a little bit

202
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:10.200
of trouble there in embracing science. I guess you would

203
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.960
call it. See back when Galileo. You know that Galileo

204
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.399
was the famous astronomer. Yes, well back in the day

205
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.159
he was teaching that the Earth revolved around the Sun. Well,

206
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.240
the Catholic Church thought everything revolved around the Earth, so

207
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.559
they didn't like that, so they brought ol Galileo in.

208
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.120
You know, he was in front, he was in Italy,

209
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.720
and he said, what's this your teaching about? And they said, well, okay,

210
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.759
that means you get sentenced to death. So Galileo he

211
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.480
really quick said, I was kidding, man. Everybody knows you know,

212
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.120
that was joking. That's not true, and all kinds of things,

213
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.879
and he goes, that's I don't know who told you that. No,

214
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.440
everybody knows that the earth or the Sun revolves around

215
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:47.159
the Earth. So they said, well, we don't believe you

216
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.080
but we're gonna just we're not going to kill you,

217
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.320
but you have to live the rest of your life

218
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.159
under house arrest, and you can't teach her write ever again.

219
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.639
So Gallas said, okay, just quit beating me, So is

220
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.639
it all right? So he lived in there eight years

221
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:02.720
and then he died just a natural cause, and all

222
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:06.320
this well, what year was that? Three hundred and fifty

223
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.559
nine years before nineteen ninety two? Okay, because on John

224
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.120
Paul's birthday in nineteen ninety two, three hundred and fifty

225
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.600
nine years after he died, Bob Don Paul had to

226
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.399
take it for the team, Like I said, he went

227
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.879
out and admitted and he apologized that Galileo was right. Yep,

228
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:21.879
the earth does revolve around the sun. We're sorry. We

229
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:23.639
should have never mistreated him, and we should have never

230
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:24.679
sentenced them to house arrest.

231
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.240
Poor Pope John Paul, and he didn't even do it.

232
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.840
But yeah, I mean, yeah, there's good popes and bad

233
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:33.720
popes throughout through and you know, the churches. The church

234
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.039
was created by Jesus Christ, but it doesn't mean the

235
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.159
people involved in it are never perfect, so exactly, and

236
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.519
that's any church, whether you're a Baptists or not denominational.

237
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:45.519
You're never got perfect people in any church.

238
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.600
Yeah, but then everybody thinks that the Catholic Church are

239
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:51.159
so strict on you know, that kind of thing. But

240
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.879
the Church has never actually come out against vaccines. They're

241
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.039
not anti vacts. They've never come out and can you

242
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.720
know send you're playing God by giving shots. They've never

243
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.720
ever came out against that. And I think no.

244
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.879
I think the conservative factions of the Church will have

245
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:06.799
a lot of talk shows about how they're against it,

246
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.200
but officially you're right, No, the Church never said they're

247
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:09.720
against it.

248
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.679
And I think it comes down to because the Church

249
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.720
is against artificial Now, everybody's got to remember that's artificial

250
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.960
birth control. And the reason they are one, they don't

251
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.240
think that you should be interfering with God because, as

252
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.320
you know, the Catholic Church loves babies. I think most

253
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:28.080
Christians do actually, And two is just behavior you think about.

254
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.360
It was in nineteen sixty eight when birth control came

255
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.759
to the market. You have to just think about I

256
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.799
don't want to get off my long kind of guy.

257
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.200
But morality has gone to pot people now that there's

258
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.559
no consequences for sleeping around and you get a lot

259
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.960
more of it, and you get a lot more obviously

260
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.000
abortions and all that kind of stuff.

261
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:46.320
Right, And it does go back to the scripture too.

262
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.360
You know, Protestants always want to back everything by scripture,

263
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.240
and that's fine, that's great. The Catholics go by scripture

264
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:55.000
and tradition and they do not oppose each other. They

265
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.840
compliment each other. But like the Scripture does say that

266
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.399
a child is a great gift from God. So there's

267
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.679
there's a lot of things that Catholics believe that it

268
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.840
doesn't maybe the Bible doesn't directly say this, but it infers,

269
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.799
it infers it. So if if a baby is one

270
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.240
of the greatest gifts God could give you, to block

271
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.559
that gift, it is inferred that to block that gift

272
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.600
would be sin. So that's one of the beliefs. That's

273
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.840
one of the reasons why Catholics I believe in contraception,

274
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.440
because if you're going to block the gifts God's giving you,

275
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.080
then you're taking yourself out of alignment with His will,

276
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.759
which is obviously that's what a sin is.

277
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.240
So and it's also standard policy too. I can believe

278
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:35.799
some probably cardinals and popes, and they sat down basically

279
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.039
that when we're talking artificial, they the church does not

280
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.200
have a problem. It's like you just said, you know,

281
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.320
eight kids too, we can't afford to be more kids,

282
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:47.240
and you just naturally like pay attention to the wife's

283
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:51.320
cycle of the month or you know that's called natural. Yeah,

284
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:54.080
so you kind of did that. They're not against that.

285
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.440
Yeah, they're not against you saying, Okay, we're not going

286
00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.720
to have any more kids, so we're gonna we're gonna

287
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.799
make sure we do this right. We're not gonna get

288
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:03.039
together certain times.

289
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.480
Of the month, right, got it?

290
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:06.000
So?

291
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.360
And I didn't know this too though, And but they

292
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.480
also they don't want you going in there and tying

293
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.960
your tubes and getting your little boy snipped either. They

294
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:13.879
don't like that either.

295
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.720
No, that's a sin. Just to prove they I'll have

296
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:18.480
to give God kind of props on this one though.

297
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.480
I do know two people, and they worked for the church,

298
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.000
who said they were like, God's gonna get his way

299
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.080
if he wants a baby to be born. They were like,

300
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.799
I was on birth control. Never. I mean, they were

301
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.080
obviously sending it they were going against their own faith.

302
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.159
But she was like I was on birth control, determined

303
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.240
I was not gonna get pregnant, not gonna have another kid.

304
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.120
Never missed a pill, got pregnant, nothing wrong with the pregnancy.

305
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:43.960
He's thirty five year old accountant now and he's got

306
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:45.919
a family of his own. So I think, you know,

307
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.039
if God wants something done, it's gonna get done.

308
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.919
Yeah, think, thank God, thankfully. Yeah he knows better than

309
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:53.559
we did, didn't he?

310
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:54.679
Yes, he does.

311
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.759
Okay, Now another one that this one surprised me. I didn't.

312
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.519
I grew up. Just listen. I thought everybody believe this,

313
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:02.399
and then I found out, Hey, you're Catholic. You don't

314
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.519
believe that, and you know it. It's the rapture.

315
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.879
Yes, youah, Catholics don't believe in the rapture in the

316
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.279
same way Protestants do. I mean, the Bible actually just

317
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.960
says that we will be taken up and meet Jesus

318
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.639
in the air. It doesn't say what happens after that,

319
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:21.200
so that the Catholic perspective is, well, you know, they

320
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.120
believe that at the final judgment.

321
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:23.879
You know that.

322
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.039
I mean, first of all, you look all through history.

323
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.720
He never spared any of his saints, who even had

324
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:33.120
tons of miracles. Actually they usually suffered more. He never

325
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.919
spared them tribulation and trials, so why would he spare

326
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.279
us tribulation and trials. So the Protestants think that all

327
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.679
the people who love God, they're gonna get protected and

328
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:42.399
just taken up and they get to go to heaven

329
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:43.799
and they don't get to be around when all the

330
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.000
bad stuff happens. And that kind of goes against history.

331
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.600
It also goes against the Scripture just says we'll be

332
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:53.360
taken up in the air. It doesn't say what happens

333
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.360
after that, And it also infers to the fact that

334
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.919
that happens after the tribulations, not before.

335
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.200
This is the way I'm gonna read it. So it

336
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.679
sounds kind of cute, that is actually kind of bad.

337
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.200
Did you know that if any Catholic can baptize anybody

338
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:10.000
in an emergency?

339
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:11.440
I didn't know that.

340
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.600
Yeah. But what you have to do is it has

341
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.720
to be in an emergency, right and the person has

342
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.960
to fully man, I lived a horrible life, you know,

343
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:20.840
please baptize me or something. You know, they have to

344
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.080
really want to be saved. So regular person, full authority

345
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:25.679
of the Catholic Church, you can do it. All you

346
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:27.440
need to do is regular water. It doesn't have to

347
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.480
be blessed by a priest or anything. Then you pour

348
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:31.000
the water over the head of them and you have

349
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.159
to say their name, and then I baptize you in

350
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.000
the name of the Father and of the Son and

351
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.440
the Holy Spirit, and then yeah, and so then it's legit.

352
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.960
But now it's when it gets kind of cute. Now

353
00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.799
that's in an emergency, right, And they actually in the

354
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:50.799
Catherine doctor said, but if they survived the emergency, so

355
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.679
they have another plan for that. They said, okay, so

356
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.279
if they survived the emergency, now you have to get

357
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:58.080
to the nearest parish and there's still some things that

358
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.440
the local priest needs to do with a couple rights to,

359
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:02.639
you know, make it more valid now if they're actually living.

360
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.360
You know, if they had died, that was good enough,

361
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.200
but now if they're living, we need to make this

362
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.200
a little more legal there.

363
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.519
Right, because they want to make sure you understand that

364
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.600
if you're living, I guess. And also it also just

365
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.600
as a nod to God's The Catholics believe totally in

366
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:20.759
God's mercy, So yeah, you're about to die, God is

367
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:22.759
going to give you that mercy as long as you

368
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.279
know somebody could do that for you. That's in alignment.

369
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:28.720
We totally believe in God's mercy for sure.

370
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:30.919
And I wonder how many times, I mean a lot

371
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.399
of people, yeah, all baptized, but not going to counter

372
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.840
but I wonder how many times throughout history somebody just

373
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.960
by receiving the baptism and just that kind of gives

374
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.960
them enough to actually survive, you know what I mean,

375
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.440
Like they didn't have any hope and they got the

376
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:48.159
baptism and then all of a sudden they actually pulled through.

377
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.679
That is a good question, because I know I certainly

378
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:55.000
felt a huge shift at my baptism, so definitely. And

379
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:58.159
I went into it skeptical because you know, I did.

380
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:00.840
I came from the New Age, I did. I knew God.

381
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.679
I was very clearly understanding God was calling me onto

382
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:05.920
this path. He wanted me to enter the church, he

383
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.039
wanted me to get baptized. But I kind of went

384
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:10.519
kind of with my nails again, you know, like just

385
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.440
like okay, I'll do this, but now I'm going to

386
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.799
see what I really think about it kind of attitude.

387
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.880
And I was blown away by what I actually experienced

388
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:21.279
during my baptism, and it did remove a lot of

389
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.799
demonic strongholds off me. So you're right. I think that's

390
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.359
a good thought you're on, is that it probably would

391
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:29.920
instantly bring down a lot of God's grace and mercy

392
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:32.920
to you that might have been blocked by demons. Right.

393
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.440
That's probably had to add that other part in wait,

394
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.440
a lot of these emergencies that they're actually coming through.

395
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:40.319
So now, okay, now go to a priest and let it.

396
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:41.440
There's a little bit more to this.

397
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:44.119
Yeah, yeah, so that you can live a real holy

398
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.640
life instead of just barely getting by.

399
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.240
Now that Bubba Johnson out there, he baptized you when

400
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.039
you're out deer hunting because you sought yourself in the leg.

401
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:52.640
Now you bety to get in there and see the priest.

402
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:55.599
Right, that's hilarious.

403
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.119
Oh, now, let's see Catholics and you're not required to

404
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.279
tie ten percent of your income. There are rumors out

405
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.039
there in the prodest religions that Catholics actually have to

406
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.839
show the their duck statements.

407
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:10.839
Yeah, that's crazy. I've never heard that the prodest is

408
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.240
generally stick to that rule that you should tie ten

409
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:16.720
percent of your income. Although I don't I don't think

410
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.000
the Bible says a certain amount, does it.

411
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.720
In the Old Testament? See, did I even get to

412
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:24.759
the part where the Catholics are not held to the

413
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:26.839
rules of the Old Testament. I haven't said that yet.

414
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:28.160
You haven't got to that yet.

415
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.880
Okay, Well, Catholics, they're not They don't have to follow

416
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:32.720
the rules of the Old Testament. They're not bound by it.

417
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.119
They're bound by the New Testament. And in the Old

418
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.119
Testament it does say you're supposed to give. Moses said,

419
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.200
you have to give ten percent, okay, when they asked Jesus.

420
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.720
When the Jews ask Jesus, you know, how much should

421
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.119
they give? And Jesus just said whatever they can.

422
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:46.720
Yeah.

423
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:48.319
And then he had the story of the widow who

424
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:50.640
gave just a tiny little bit, but way more than

425
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:52.880
the rich people because it was all she had. So

426
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.440
I think it's just showing, like Jesus always had the

427
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:58.920
point that it's about your heart. It's about to say

428
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:00.680
to your heart when you get, and not about how

429
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:01.440
much you're giving.

430
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:04.279
And not only that, let's be honest with you, giving

431
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.839
what you can. That's a lot harder than just giving

432
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:07.400
ten percent.

433
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.279
Yeah, And most people don't give, even me also don't

434
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:13.400
give what I can. We still have fear of not

435
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.920
having enough money and all that, but that widow she

436
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.000
didn't have anything and she gave everything.

437
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:19.920
And so two little pints or something like that.

438
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:24.400
Yeah. Yeah, And I think Jesus really wants us to give.

439
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:26.079
You can give in a lot of ways too. You

440
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.039
can give by us taking your time to go talk

441
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:31.359
to someone or visit someone, or pray for someone. I

442
00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:33.400
think the point is God just wants us to be giving.

443
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.039
And not only that, but nowadays it's changed so much because,

444
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.480
like you said, you can actually somebody who goes to

445
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:41.920
like a nursing home and just spend some time playing

446
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.519
some games with some dementia or dementsia patients or something.

447
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:47.880
That's a lot better than just giving a hundred bucks

448
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.559
in the plate when it capasses by you totally lot better.

449
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:51.000
Yeah.

450
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.680
And not only that, but back then, their only charity

451
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.359
was the church, you know, that was it. Now, I mean,

452
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.599
you've got all you have to do is watch TV

453
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.119
for ten minutes during the day. You've got this hospital

454
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:04.039
and this mercy ship and then this hospital and then

455
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.079
you know the smart doctor Dennis without borders and all.

456
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:09.079
I mean, there's so many different ways.

457
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.400
Yeah, and I want to say this just but you

458
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:13.799
know a lot of people like to bash the Catholic

459
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:16.880
Church because they're like, well, they were the only power

460
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:18.960
and the only authority, and they abused that power, they

461
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.519
abused that authority. Well no, I mean, actually, if you

462
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:23.720
think about it, you only gave to the Catholic Church

463
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.920
because it was the only if you were Christian, you

464
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.079
were Catholic up until the sixteen hundreds like period. It

465
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.279
was the only form of Christianity. But the Catholic Church

466
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:39.200
is responsible for starting orphanages and hospitals and schools. Like

467
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:43.119
there everything good almost in the world if you actually

468
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:45.480
research the roots of it goes back to the Catholic Church.

469
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.160
It's derived from the Catholic Church. There would be no hospitals,

470
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.759
there would be no orphanages, there'd be no schools for

471
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.799
troubled girls.

472
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:55.599
And that's what got Jesus so mad. When you even

473
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.079
call the Pharisees and the statues and all them, they've

474
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:01.960
become them hypocrites because they would take all this money

475
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:04.279
in But like that, we talked about that poor widow

476
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.680
who has broke and how many people in the Bible

477
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.880
you talk about these people that they just I don't

478
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.319
remember her name. She her and her son. She just

479
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.039
was going to make her very last little grain and

480
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.359
her oil, give them their last supper. Right then the

481
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:19.039
scene comes in and says, well make that for me.

482
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:25.240
Yeah, I think it was Elijah. I think God's Elijah there. Yeah, yeah.

483
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:27.160
I mean you look at all the saints in the

484
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.079
early Saints, like Catherine, I think it was Catherine and Seaton.

485
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.440
She had several kids, then everybody in her family died,

486
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:35.920
her husband, everybody, and then she ends up taking in

487
00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:38.000
all these other kids and starting an orphanage and she

488
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:39.960
was one of and then she started the Sisters of

489
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:43.359
Mercy or another Ladies of Charity. I mean, you just

490
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:47.799
look at this this big web of what do you

491
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:53.000
call it? Even this big web of charitable charitable organizations,

492
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.079
and almost all of any of them over two hundred

493
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:56.599
years old.

494
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.359
And one thing I do that there is one is

495
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:03.279
Catholic charities. And they are actually separate then from the Vatican.

496
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.599
The Vatican can't come in and take their money from them.

497
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:08.680
They can give money to them, but the Catholic charities

498
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.400
they're on their own. So it's not like people I'm

499
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.200
not given to them because of the pre sex schedule.

500
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.160
Well they're not getting that's totally different. You know, they're

501
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:20.240
they're just total charity, man, they're not. So. Yeah, there's

502
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:23.200
a lot of giving in the Catholic Church that nobody

503
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:23.720
else would do.

504
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.960
Yeah, and if people don't look back at these early

505
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.640
orders of monks and religious orders and nuns and all

506
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:32.160
the good they did. They started hospitals and orphanages and

507
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.839
went and built cities, and it just like most of

508
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:36.599
the good in the world that was done was done

509
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:39.039
by the Catholic Church. If you actually I would challenge

510
00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:40.480
anybody to research.

511
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:43.880
History, then okay, well Catholics, now I let you. I

512
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.319
kind of went out of order, but you know, we

513
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:48.720
thought about it. No, Catholics, they're not bound to follow

514
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.200
the rules of the Old Testament. And Protestants they seem

515
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.359
to follow those rules pretty strict, you know.

516
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:57.119
No, I mean I don't. I'm not trying to argue

517
00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:59.200
with you, but you know, I know a lot of

518
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:01.640
Protestants they would they're not bound by the Old Testament.

519
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:04.000
They I mean, I've even heard them say, no, we're

520
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:07.079
Jesus came, so we go by the new law. We're

521
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:08.319
not under Moses's law.

522
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:10.759
Do you just call it lie and grace under liar

523
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:11.400
you under grace.

524
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:13.920
Yeah, I mean the Protestants don't believe that they're under

525
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.319
the old, they're under the new. In eternal stuff, I

526
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:19.559
think the only difference between Protestants and Catholics, and I

527
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.200
think we should focus on our unifying stuff, not our differences.

528
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.599
But they don't understand Mary. They don't understand our reverence

529
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.839
to Mary. That's a big one. And they don't understand

530
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:33.079
that we believe that the Eucharist is actually truly the

531
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:35.720
body of blood sell and divinity of Jesus. Those are

532
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:39.119
really the only two big differences of belief.

533
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:41.240
You kind of understated that they're actually huge.

534
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.000
Yeah, they're huge because like he said, you will not

535
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:46.680
have life unless you eat my body and drink my

536
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:50.200
blood in John six. So yeah, I mean it's kind

537
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:50.599
of big.

538
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.680
You know, there's an old one. They joke about rich guys.

539
00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:56.440
I say, okay, now that he's rich and all this

540
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:58.079
and he's getting old, he wants to buy his way

541
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.920
into heaven. So there's there's an old concept. And said

542
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.160
that Catholics they thought they could be saved by doing

543
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.119
good works and all that kind of stuff, and that

544
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:07.480
is a no, no, no no if you even believe

545
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:09.519
that that's a sin, because the Catholic Church does not

546
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:12.480
want that. You are saved by grace and now you

547
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.759
only do your works to thank God for the grace

548
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:17.519
that he gave you. It's not the other way around.

549
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.160
Right, and works and the Catholic Church, you know, it's

550
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.480
just the fruit that you bear. So if you actually

551
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:26.799
are connected to the vine, if you really are in Christ,

552
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.680
you're gonna bear fruit, which would be you're gonna go

553
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:31.440
out and help people, You're gonna love people, you're gonna

554
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:31.839
do stuff.

555
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.880
No, and I have a really simplistically excellent like marriage.

556
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.839
So you you and your husband are married, Okay, so

557
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.200
you're down together. Well, because you love them. Now you

558
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:43.119
go out and you get them a cup of coffee.

559
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.599
You know, you might gas their car up for them

560
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.519
when they're running behind it. You do the works because

561
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:50.640
you love them, it's not to try and get them

562
00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:51.240
to love you.

563
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:54.480
That's exactly right. And you actually just define what's wrong

564
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:58.640
with most marriages in this world because most people are

565
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:00.319
doing it the other way or a lot of people

566
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.400
are doing it the other way around. But yeah, if

567
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:04.599
it's a true Christian marriage and Christ is in the

568
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:07.119
middle of it, then you do want to do it

569
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:09.400
because you love the person. And I'll even go a

570
00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:11.680
step further because this is what it's been on my

571
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.079
heart all week, just as Jesus. There's that that verse

572
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.400
in Romans. This is like nothing can separated from the

573
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.160
love of God. It's something like no neither angels, nor demons,

574
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:27.519
nor breadth of the ocean mountains, nothing. Basically Paul saying

575
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:29.720
nothing can separate is from the love of God. Right.

576
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.400
But I think if you have a true Christian marriage,

577
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:35.640
that's the same way spouses feel about each other, that

578
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:38.799
it doesn't matter what you go through together, nothing's going

579
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:42.559
to diminish that love. If it's if you're truly rooted

580
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:43.400
in Christ.

581
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:45.559
I believe you. So. Do you know where the Catholic

582
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:46.359
Church got his name?

583
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:48.880
Catholis means universal in Latin.

584
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:52.720
That's right. I'm pretty impressed with that. You can tell

585
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:54.799
that you weren't born into it, you had to actually

586
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:56.680
earn your way into because most of us, Baby, I

587
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.960
don't know where that came from.

588
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:01.119
I know my apologetics and not listen. Patrick Madrid is

589
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.799
a great apologist. He has a radio talk show like

590
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:06.640
I've listened to the apologists. I think I have a

591
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:08.680
call for evangelism because I can feel the Holy Spirit

592
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:10.000
come on me. I get all hot, and I get

593
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:15.079
pretty angry when someone's like saying something false about the Catholic.

594
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.200
Church exactly exactually in the second century, so that would

595
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:20.440
have been after one hundred years, somewhere in one hundred

596
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:24.799
year area, right, Saint Ignatius he first used it. He

597
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:28.200
was giving a speech about how everybody needs to come

598
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:30.440
together and pray for Jesus and everything like that, you know,

599
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:32.240
and we are all one church and all this kind

600
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:36.200
of stuff. So his quote that actually started with even

601
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.839
as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is also the Catholic

602
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:40.480
Church first time, right.

603
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:43.079
Because it's universal, right. And you know what a lot

604
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:45.880
of people don't understand is the Catholic Church got organized

605
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:50.319
specifically to combat heresy. So when you have the Council

606
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:53.559
of Trent and the Council of nic what was the

607
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:56.200
other one, Nicia. The Council of Nicia and the Council

608
00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:58.680
of Trent were the two big ones where they defined doctrine.

609
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.119
They did that they had to because yeah, there was

610
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.880
a there were the true followers of Christ who understood

611
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.440
what he taught. And then you start getting of course,

612
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.119
in this broken world, people come along that are saying

613
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.000
wrong things right, so that at the first Council of

614
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:19.079
Trent it is legend, has it the Saint Nicholas that

615
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:21.880
we get. You know, he was a German bishop Aaron

616
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:25.200
was saying. So that there was a group of people saying, well,

617
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:27.680
Jesus was fully man but not fully God. And then

618
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:29.319
there was another group saying, well, he was fully of

619
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:33.039
God but not fully man, and Saint Nicholas punched him out,

620
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:38.519
and the official doctrine became he was fully man and

621
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:42.359
fully God, and that's it. No more discussion, that's our belief.

622
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:43.960
And it's been that way since.

623
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.440
Well, the official Turk doctrine. That's actually controversy too, because

624
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:51.400
Martin Luther and the Protestants they think that the Catholics

625
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.079
actually added books into the Bible after it was established,

626
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:56.440
and it's the total contrary. You know, when they came

627
00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:59.319
back and went was it three forty seven or four

628
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:01.680
fifteen somewhere around there, one of those councils when they

629
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:05.319
actually said, okay, this is the New Testament. Okay, then

630
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:09.440
that's what they used until fifteen twenty or whenever when

631
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:12.519
Martin Luther changed it. Martin Luther actually took out of

632
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.039
the Bible two of the Maccabee books Judas Tobit Broch,

633
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:20.400
Sarach Wisdom, and he took out additional readings for Esther

634
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:22.599
and Daniel, and he took him out, and he wanted more,

635
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:25.119
but some of the people actually stopped him. He was

636
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:29.200
actually going to take out John Wow and Revelation those out.

637
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:32.000
What year did did they start actually printing the Bible?

638
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.319
Did Gutenberg start printing the Bible.

639
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.519
I'm probably not till about the fifteen hundreds. I would think.

640
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:40.400
I heard this is what they teach in college, that

641
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:43.000
it was Gutenberg that actually made that decision to take

642
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:45.519
four books out because it was just too expensive to print.

643
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.359
It was saving them thousands of dollars just to delete

644
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:50.920
those four books, and they determined that they were absolutely

645
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:54.799
necessary for salvation. It wasn't that they weren't authoritative or

646
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:57.319
great books, but they were like, well, we could take

647
00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:59.599
these four out and it would save us all this

648
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.680
much more money and time because the printing presses were

649
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:04.599
very you know new.

650
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.920
Well that printing. If you're part of the printing industry,

651
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:10.839
and you know anything about the history, and it was that.

652
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:12.759
You don't realize how much work that would have been

653
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:14.400
done to try and print those first Bibles.

654
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:16.000
I mean that would have been Yeah, it was a

655
00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:19.359
huge undertaking. And so they were able to lighten their

656
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:22.279
log quite a bit by eliminating just a few books.

657
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:26.200
But to most Protestants credit. I do know several Protestants

658
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.200
who have gone ahead and read those books and they

659
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:31.920
and they love them. They're like my friendmost like I

660
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:33.480
love the Book of Wisdom and she's read it, and

661
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.720
she's read Tobit and Maccabee's. Of course she was the

662
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.599
wife of a preacher of the Baptist preacher actually. But yeah,

663
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:44.920
I mean a lot of Protestants are not as against

664
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.240
the Catholic Church as maybe society makes us think.

665
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:50.079
I don't think they're against the Church as much as

666
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:52.599
they think. I think they're told a lot of things like, oh,

667
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:54.880
they just worshiped Mary and saints and like we just

668
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:57.720
talked about and then they realized when they get no,

669
00:29:57.880 --> 00:29:59.680
we don't, what do you mean you don't? Right, Well,

670
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.240
then you tell them the truth and well they've never

671
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:02.960
asked and they've just heard. Right.

672
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.079
Most people would not like felten Sheen said, if you

673
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:09.799
actually understood all the truth of the Catholic Church, you

674
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:11.880
would fall in love with her. That's a quote. That's

675
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:14.240
a direct quote from Fulton Sheen, and I loved that quote.

676
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:16.119
You would not disagree with that, he said, you would

677
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:18.240
not disagree with anything. If you actually knew the truth,

678
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:19.640
you would fall in love with her.

679
00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:21.839
You know when you're you know, this is going to

680
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:26.039
sound really funny. And I was sitting there and I

681
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:29.319
had an early early morning a show I had to host,

682
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:31.079
so and I didn't get to sleep on time, and

683
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.720
I was really tired. I hosted the show and did

684
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:35.920
some of my chores around the house, and when the

685
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.200
cats came up to me and just wanted some loving,

686
00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:40.000
so I was like, all right, So I sat down

687
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:42.039
on the cat on the catch, and the cat curled

688
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:43.640
up on my chest and we zacked out for probably

689
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:45.759
about forty five minutes. I woke up and there was

690
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.480
a cartoon, the EWTN, and it was sitting there and

691
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:51.880
it was our Catholic I don't remember what it was

692
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:54.119
called it or something, and I thought it was one

693
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:55.599
of the I don't know if any of you have

694
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:58.119
kids out there and I put the name in the

695
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:00.519
show notes. It was one of the he his little

696
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.519
cartoons I'd ever seen about explaining the Catholic Church and

697
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:04.799
how it worked. They were doing it.

698
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:05.400
I love.

699
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:09.480
Yeah, yeah, it was the one they were talking about

700
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:11.839
was Joan of Arc and the oh wow, and they

701
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:13.720
were explaining to them it was in a cartoon, but

702
00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:15.839
they're explaining to the girls how you know, how she

703
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:19.400
was miss misinterpreted and then she came back and all

704
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:20.839
this kind of stuff. And then of course all the

705
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:23.000
girls were praying that Joan of Arc. I mean it

706
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:25.960
was really well done. Then they had this goofball and

707
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.000
I don't remember what his name. He's Bob the Roman

708
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:32.039
Catholic except Roman is r O A M I n.

709
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:37.400
Roman Catholic. So he travels around the planet and talking

710
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:40.839
like today. He was the one I saw after him. Yes,

711
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.519
I didn't end up watching it with the cat, but

712
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:47.519
the Roman Catholic he was in Portugal. What do you

713
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:48.640
think he was doing in Portugal?

714
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:49.680
Fatima?

715
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:53.599
Yeah, he was explaining Fatima like you would kids, you know,

716
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:55.519
and he was saying, well, these three little kids and

717
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:57.799
they show pictures of him, and then they said, don't

718
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:00.559
get this, they got thrown in jail, thought they were

719
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:02.440
laying you think I got thrown in jail. They let

720
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:04.920
him out, and then they showed that all these people

721
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:06.559
were coming to see what those little kids saw, and

722
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:08.799
then that's when they saw the miracle, and it was

723
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:11.480
just they were just two quality things done. And what

724
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:13.759
I guess I'm getting to is, even if you're old

725
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:17.119
and there's older like me, and there's a little kid

726
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:19.680
explanation on these things, sure you know it, but it's

727
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:21.759
kind of nice to reaffirm what you already know because

728
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.559
you don't really have People want to talk all like,

729
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:27.559
I don't know, they want to use big words and

730
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.279
you know, well, you know that was what they were venerating,

731
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:32.480
and they were, you know, doing all this kind of stuff,

732
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.079
and all of a sudden, no, it was just this is

733
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:35.920
all there was to it.

734
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:38.480
That's awesome. I mean, that's one of the main reasons

735
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:41.720
I want to have children, even though I'm older, I

736
00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:43.920
don't care. Like God's promised me I'm going to and

737
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.960
he can do anything. But it's like to teach children

738
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:50.799
the Catholic faith. I wish I grew up watching the floodstones.

739
00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:53.440
Nothing wrong with the Floodstones, you know, or Scooby Doo.

740
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:56.240
But how awesome is it to raise a child? And

741
00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:59.359
you're right, they have a lot of good quality, amazing

742
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:02.720
programming for kids, and it's true. It's like these are

743
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:05.880
true stories like this is amazing, Our faith is amazing.

744
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:07.880
How cool would it be to share it with an

745
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.119
innocent little child that actually could see it with wonder,

746
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:13.880
the proper wonder that we all should have.

747
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:17.119
Right, and you could you could have sat down any denomination,

748
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.200
you know, it wasn't anything. You could have sat down

749
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.720
a Jewish kid and figured out why Joana Lark was special.

750
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:25.960
You know, it was just this is just what happened.

751
00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:27.799
I mean, it's really simple and I thought they did

752
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:28.839
a really good job on it.

753
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:29.680
That's cool.

754
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:33.519
I'll put a link in there for you. Oh right, Well,

755
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:36.359
next time, do you have anything big for our next talk?

756
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:38.880
You've been working onney in your head.

757
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:41.559
I mean, I don't know, do I have I mentioned?

758
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.759
I mean there's something crazy and prophetic that seems mystical

759
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:47.680
that happens every day in my life. So I'm sure

760
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:48.920
I'll have something else to share.

761
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:50.839
But okay, well not.

762
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:55.039
Maybe we'll we'll reveal our our product launch next time

763
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:56.839
if it's ready, maybe.

764
00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:59.319
Yeah, we'll do that. We have a new store out there.

765
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:01.000
I think you guys are going to like it's pretty cool.

766
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:03.400
And okay, are you going to give us a teaser

767
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:03.920
about it?

768
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:05.480
I just did. I said it was pretty cool.

769
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:07.920
Oh okay, okay, I gotcha.

770
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:11.280
So that would even wonder and all this kind of stuff.

771
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.480
And I was reading Ecclestices. I don't know how to

772
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:19.000
say that. Ecclesiastes, Ecclesiastes, and it's kind of a short one,

773
00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:21.320
and all that kind of stuff. And Paul at the

774
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:24.000
end he gives the eight little precepts. He said, you

775
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:25.639
guys are doing a great job. And if all the

776
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:27.559
people we come to, you guys are one of the best,

777
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:31.039
you know groups, it doesn't matter whether I send Barnabas

778
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:33.039
or I said Timothy, they always come back to Just

779
00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:35.039
please with you, guys. I'm just gonna remind you on

780
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:37.039
eight little precepts that'll keep you guys going. And so

781
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:38.519
I thought one is able to us talk about his

782
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:40.840
little eight precepts, and he talked to those people.

783
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:41.960
Out that would be awesome.

784
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:44.480
Yeah, all right, thank you all for joining us, and

785
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:45.920
here's hoping you don't lose hope

786
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:47.760
And remember we are all on it together.
