As a proud Catholic, I’m constantly being accused of worshipping idols, told that Catholicism goes against the Bible, confession to a priest isn’t biblically based, etc.
I’m in love with my Catholic faith and will always defend Her teachings, but it gets old trying to educate people who refuse to accept the truth regardless of what I say.
God bless everyone ❤

It's like a branch looking at the trunk and saying, "You're not a tree!"

[vbottoni]

Catholicism is not a denomination. it is the common denominator - dcn harold

[_Woe_]

I think the fact that the Church comes under so much attack is a sign of its authenticity.
Of course the devil would want to bring down our Lord's Church

👏👏👏Well done @Ascension for bringing on Gormley!

[kaelynnkreates]

Obligatory comment of praise for The Michael Gormley 😊

[Charlielizard]

Amen! My biggest concern is the constant attacks on my belief in Christ. Over and over, I keep hearing how we Catholics are nothing but idol loving imperialists. Truly appreciate you and your wonderful definition of Catholics being Christians. Thank you.

What a ridiculous question. Catholic was first Christian church built on the Rock of Peter

[dragosc]

I like your freedom of speech, how relaxed you are saying all these serious, holy things.

[cabellero]

Here's a question....
Why are Evangelicals So hateful of Other Christians??

[sd]

Wow - that is a mouth full 😄I think I'll need to watch this another 100 times to understand what he just beautifully said.... I have faith!!

[andread]

Yeah Gomer!! You are a great gift to the Church!

[daniellennox]

The summary of justification at the 5 minute mark is beautifully put. We are saved by God’s grace freely given to us with the gifts of faith, hope and love coming from this sanctifying grace.

Thank you for this video and speaking the truth, Michael!

[Stroudtucson]

What a silly question. Thank you for setting the record straight.

I am newly born again. I consider myself non-denominational Protestant for now. I just finished reading the New Testament on my own. I really don't understand how anyone can read the bible and conclude that Catholics are NOT Christians?

[robinconnelly]

Thanks for this, as an evangelical (I don't like to call myself a protestant, I'm not protesting against anything. That was for the time of Luther).

It's good to clarify these things and I saved this video. For myself, I don't subscribe to "faith alone" as a "ticket that you bought when you prayed the sinners prayer and now you can do anything you like". Many Catholics seem to think that protestants have that mindset but its only a few fringe groups. A true Christian is "working out his salvation with fear and trembling". Not taking the grace of salvation for granted, fighting the battle against sin daily, dying daily to the old self and crying out God for forgiveness. Also doing the good works that we are called to do. That is clear throughout scripture. For us, it's not "earning our salvation", it's "living in newness of life BECAUSE we are saved".

Im happy to see that you didn't moan at protestants for believing the bible alone or say we aren't Christians because the RC is "the one true church". Protestants just don't trust anything else and that's the way I live.

But we are all saved through Christ.

God bless you, man

I pray that someday those who hate us will finally recognize us as believers in Christ.

As a Christian who isn’t a catholic Christian . I loved this so much I like to watch some of the videos on here . I love praying in Catholic church’s on the weekdays. I always knew Catholics were Christian I’m just saddened to see that some people won’t educate themselves. I pray that some reach this video and realize we are one in Jesus eyes ❤️ and that one day we will all be able to praise him together .

When Jesus ascended into heaven in 33AD, he left a church with no writings or book - a group of 12 men with one having primacy. This church, the Catholic Church, with authority given to it directly from Jesus, is mentioned in the Book of Acts during the Council of Jerusalem in 49AD. The nascent hierarchy and structure of the church is described and the word Catholic Church first appears in writing in 107AD. The church dogmatised the Trinity in 325AD but was formulated by the Catholic Church in preceding centuries. The authority of the Catholic Church canonised the Bible in 397AD, predating Prots by over 1, 100 years. Only the Catholic Church has the sole divine authority to interpret it for Christian doctrine. You are most welcome to read it but you do not have the authority from Jesus to create your own Christian doctrine or to revise history. Catholicism is the one and only true Christianity with the fullness of the truth intended for us by Jesus.
