Still waiting for a video on every rite of the church

St Patrick famously said. I wasn’t born in Ireland but I got here as soon as I could.”

I found your channel from your first video on useless facts. Now I’m in the process of joining my local Catholic Church.

"...go and watch anything else I've made over the last 8 years..."
Very well, I'll rewatch the first useless Catholic trivia video. 😂

[Tunafish]

Even if you think this video is actually for the algorithm. This video makes you realize how much the Catholic Church has influenced our society. It's amazing

@Breaking In The Habit – Great video. As a Maronite Catholic, however, I have to point something out. The part about the Eastern Catholic rites is somewhat misleading (lacking in nuance). There are 23 particular churches sui iuris (i.e. self governing) that are in communion with Rome. Each of those particular churches belongs to one of of 5 ritual traditions. The churches belonging to the Byzantine ritual tradition, for example, all make use of the Byzantine Rite with slight variations from one geographic region to another. As I've heard one priest put it, "You can't belong to a rite. You belong to a church, and that church uses a particular rite."

And in regards to married priests, it's not just Protestant converts who can be ordained to the priesthood as married men. The Eastern Catholic Church have never stopped the tradition of a married priesthood. Right now, we Maronites have almost as many married men in formation for the priesthood as we do celibate men in formation.

Father Casey, while it can be frustrating for a "useless facts" video to be the one with thr most views, it was thst video that made me aware of your channel. I suspect it's the same for some others. So I thank you and God for it.

Regarding altar candles at 17:38, they must also be composed of at least 51% beeswax, and they may be mounted on the altar itself (the traditional location) or on the floor if they are sufficiently tall.

YES I’ve been dying for more of these! I’m Orthodox but I love learning about our Catholic brothers and sisters

Back in 1953, when I was 3 and my godfather was writing his master's thesis on teaching 3 year olds to read, I asked my Edwardian grandmother what those letters, I H S, stood for. She told me, "I have suffered". I could never bring myself to tell her she was wrong. She's been gone for 45 years. I miss her.

Father Casey,
I know it can be disheartening when videos like this blow up but videos like “The Only Way to Save the Church” don’t, but when I first re-entered the faith two years ago the first video I came across of yours was the useless trivia one, probably suggested to me by the algorithm because of the traction it had. Since then I’ve been a consistent viewer, and can point to you as not only my main form of catechesis, but can point others to you as well. The trivia may be useless, but the inviting atmosphere isn’t.

I know most of the complaining was in jest, otherwise you wouldn’t have actually made this video, but thought it was worth mentioning anyway. Hopefully this sequel leads many down the same path the first one led me. Thanks for the terrific videos, and God bless.

I can't wait until I get to heaven, where there will be an eternity of useless Catholic information! 💜🙏💜

[judygreason]

This was fun, and also explained something to me. Our church was recently renovated, and carved and painted into the floor of the main aisle is a pelican with three babies, and three red wounds on its breast. I never knew the significance of it and keep forgetting to ask.

[dboutier]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I love all forms of trivia. Here’s one for you Holland America is the only ocean liner that has a Catholic priest on board each ship for daily and Sunday Mass . Some other lines have them for special holidays like Easter and Christmas but not a resident priest. It does this because so many of their crewmembers are Catholic and the priest not only provides Mass and sacraments but also counseling. There is daily mass on the ship for anyone who wants to attend. Stay safe

I want a Third Video on EVEN MORE "Useless Catholic Trivia"!

[andrewhall]

I could only think of one thing as I listen to this. There are countless quiz masters, who will run various types of Catholic quiz nights, who are going to bless your name because of these videos

[escosurajason]

I always loved Father Casey. After going from religion to religion I finally settled down to be a Catholic, a religion of which I was born into. I feel like this is the perfect fit for me, I got to admit that I doubted so many times but I'm still here trying to believe that there is a heaven. I hope one day we will be together in Heaven Father Casey. You inspire me so much, Thank You. ❤️🇵🇭

[Hihihihi-rw]

Hello father can you make a video about every rite of the church
Many blessings father

[blanasky]

Thank you Father Casey, always interesting videos, 59 year old convert, and just got done with a 10 hour shift at Ford Motor co., in Detroit. I enjoy the information and many times serious issues covered with wisdom and compassion. God Bless you Father 😊

[durbinas]

I do have to say Fr Casey, I hadn’t officially subscribed to your channel until after this video as I thought I had already done. However I have watched many of your videos in the past. Even today I saw your video on Immigration, mega-churches, and worst deadly sin before the trivia.

Definitely think your videos are great, informative, and make me reflect on my own spiritual life. The trivia videos just add some humor, which we need some time now and again.

Thank you!
