In this episode, Trent responds to Allie Beth Stuckey’s claims about Martin Luther, Catholicism, and the consequences of the Protestant Reformation.

It's so nice to see Laura Horn's husband having a go at YouTube.

The fact she thinks "differences about baptism" is a minor issue amazes me. lol

"These Catholic leaders would take the money and lead lavish lifestyles."

Gosh, it's a good thing no Protestant pastor ever took people's money and lived a lavish lifestyle, or she'd look awfully hypocritical.

What annoys me with most Protestants is that they will say "this is what Catholics believe" and when we explain otherwise they don't accept it. For example, the classic, "you worship Mary." No matter how many times we explain that we don't worship Mary, but honor her, they continue to say it. If I had a misunderstanding with a Protestant friend's belief and she said, "no that's not true, this is what we think...", I would believe her or at least believe she is is being genuine about her beliefs. I wouldn't argue with her about it or act like she's a liar. But Protestants seem to have these blinders on where they just won't accept they may be incorrect about Catholicism.

As a non Catholic, I appreciate your work on shedding light on these differences and disagreements. It's very edifying

[Catholicsquirrel]

It's also worth noting that "The Church" didn't sell indulgences. *Some* Priests sold indulgences. It has *always, always, always* been a sin in the Catholic Church to sell any holy object. This is why you can't buy something that has been blessed, but have to get it blessed afterwards.

“We don’t take away from the Bible”

Luther: removes books from the Bible

[jimmydavid]

Some Protestants are just so commited to their protest that they can hardly see their inconsistency. I am so surprised by the inconsistency of 5 point Calvinism.

[JacobStein]

I am personally Jewish and not a Christian however I have never been able to quite comprehend what many Protestants call “Biblical Christianity” or “Sola scriptura”.
Apparently they think that if we were to find a university student somewhere in China or North Korea who had never before heard of Christianity. And we were to give him an accurate translation of the Bible (I guess Old and New Testaments). Or we would teach him perfect Biblical Hebrew and Koine Greek and give him the original texts. And then we would tell him “Study these books. They are called the Bible. Based on these books tell us what the authors want people to believe and how they want people to live.” After months of study this bright young person, with no prior knowledge of religion at all, would come back with a list which matches what this particular Protestant believes.
It seems incredible to me.

I used to listen to Allie Beth Stuckey’s podcast religiously. Her dislike and misunderstandings of the Catholic Church is what led me to look into what the Catholic Church actually teaches and now I’m in RCIA and will be getting baptized at the Easter Vigil this year! ❤

[Mitenilk]

I say this as an Anglican, but if the divisions between protestants are mostly on secondary issues, then doesn't that make the divisions even worse? It seems like if you're going to schism, it oughtta be on something of primary importance only.

[mavrickglo]

I am Anglican. Lately I have been getting so annoyed at Protestants who say, oh we agree on all the primary issues of salvation. Schism in Protestantism should not be brushed aside as if it is no big deal.

Has anyone else noticed when Prots quote James 2, they think the toughest quote for them is “faith without works is dead.” And ignore the atom bomb of: “a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.” James 2:24

[abrareads]

Anyone else feel that protestants say we as Catholics "hate Luther and protestants, " out of projection because of their hate for Catholicism? I don't hate protestants, but I do feel sad for them because they are missing out on the fullness of Christianity.

[TheForbiddenLean]

Prots: "James doesn't teach we are justified by works."

James 2:24: "we are justified by works"

[awesomepotater]

I am taking AP World History this year at a church that has many Protestant teachings. It is disgusting to me how much of this is ommitted when teaching the reformation. My own teacher doesn't even know what purgatory is, or even that the church still teaches it! They paint the Catholic Church as the bad guy no matter what (in certain instances they clearly were), yet fail to recognize the issues within the teachings of Martin Luther. I am so thankful that this channel exists, as it helps me to clearly understand the history and teachings of the Church, as well as increase in the knowledge of Christ and current issues.
Collosians 1:10 "That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God"

[GranMaese]

I love Trent's videos so much. There is something just so satisfying when you listen to a very well-versed man on these subjects that also knows how to explain them calmly and clearly. God Bless.

[Qwerty-jymj]

It's crazy that her defense of the reformation involves talking points about the "American way"

[thecatechumen]

Allie B Stuckey: "James 2:14 doesn't mean that we are justified by works."

James 2:24 be like: "..."

[Mila-kztt]

-We have just minor difrences like baptism...
-What ???? I thought you said minor ????
