Protestant Tours STUNNING Catholic Church (Cantius Part 1)

This might be one of the coolest things I've done. In today's video, we're touring St. John Cantius Catholic Church in Chicago, IL. It's an absolutely beautiful church, and Fr. Joshua Caswell shares with us the history of the church as well as the deep meaning imbedded in the design. I learned so much throughout this tour, and whether you're Catholic or not, I think you'll love seeing this incredible church and hearing Fr. Joshua's infectious love for Cantius. If you love architecture, churches, theology, or history, you'll devour this video. From relics of martyrs to icons with versace necklaces, Cantius has it all. This truly is one of the most beautiful Catholic churches in America. The best part is, everything has intention. The theology of the church is engraved in the floor... literally. You'll just have to see. Get ready to fall in love with St. John Cantius in Chicago, IL and learn more than you ever thought there was to know about the inside of a Catholic Church.

I was raised roman-catholic, and no matter where I go, no matter what country, if i enter a roman-catholic churche, I feel home. The symbolism, the smell, the colours, the atmosphere...

[violetaster]

Cried thru most of it. As a Pentecostal that is in the process of converting to Catholicism ... I so resonate with the Priest

[richardbrowning]

I was raised Pentecostal but converted to Catholicism in 2008 I've never regretted it
I believe it is the true faith ⛪

[matthewmaysr]

Im not Catholic but my wife was raised in the Catholic Church this is absolutely beautiful and It make me consider converting

[frankmarano]

Sometimes we cradle Catholics take for granted the richness of our faith and churches. This is an amazing 19th century church. Breathtaking!

[fatihcamdal]

I was born in the same city as St. Paul, Mersin Tarsus, I am Turkish and I am a Catholic, eternal praise to God, long live our king Jesus Christ

[AdenDuraTv]

Hello, im a born protestant but now a proud Roman catholic.
I love your videos!

[sibergirl]

All the symbolism within a Catholic Church is one of the MANY reasons that I converted to Catholicism, the most important reason being the Eucharist. Beautiful video. Thank you.

I liked what the priest said about many Catholic Churches built since the 1970’s resembling “Pizza Hut”. I love the old churches with their ornate interiors you “feel” like you are in the presence of something sacred and larger than you. They are monuments to God and his glory.

Catholicism is just so beautiful, visually and spiritually.

I converted to the Catholic Faith from my Baptist and then Non-denominational Background in 2007 - a year before my husband suddenly died. When I was converting I found out my husband had been raised Catholic by his Polish mother. My conversion led him back to the Faith just in time before his death. The True Ancient Catholic Faith is amazing and so deep in meaning. Do not judge the faith by some of the modernist almost secular Parishes you see these days. St. John Cantius is more what the church has been like for thousands of years.

I am a Filipino Catholic...and this Church is full of biblical symbols and images of our beloved Saints in heaven!

Proud to be Catholic.

[josejoji]

He just evangelised him.. traditional priests are lit🔥❤️❤️

[jtrlatinist]

I wish all Catholic churches look like this. I lived in Europe for 3 years even the most simple Catholic Church in Europe is beautiful. The extravagant churches in Europe are extraordinary. I just wish we had more of that in the US. From a protestant background converting to the Catholic Church started with a prayer in the Catholic Church in Europe. The beauty and peace I got from it started my path to come home.

[piusjrna]

Catholic seminarian here. Could you please pray for me?...that I may holy, fall into deeper love of Our Lord daily & that I may listen to him well and have the courage to do what he tells me?! May God bless & keep you.

[dobermanpac]

I’ve been a Catholic for 70 yrs and just love our pre 1960’s churches.

[JohnBoysGold]

This tour should be offered at least once a year in every Catholic Church. Most Catholics were never taught this or have long forgotten it.

[tradcatveils]

As a convert to Catholicism myself, this is beautiful to see. Fr Joshua is a very pious priest and you are so blessed to tour such a sacred Church. God bless you Gospel Simplicity, us Catholics are praying for you.

[aahlstrom]

I was United Methodist and Baptist but converted to Catholicism in my 20s. I go to Tridentine High Mass and Divine Liturgy on Sundays. Love the Gregorian Chants. Thank you for the video, St. Cantius has amazing liturgies on their YouTube channel.

[robertcarrolan]

Yes I too am converting from the Church of England to Catholicism!
