Man, Kyle has really helped my journey towards Orthodoxy ☦ Thanks a lot, Kyle! God bless.

[eilianejad]

I’m someone who is looking to convert to Christianity and I’m trying to discern between Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Please pray for my conversion into the true church!

It’s ironic how he uses St Cyprian of Carthage to push his idea of papal supremacy, yet St Cyprian famously opposed Pope Stephen on the reception of the heterodox…

Im tired of seeing Roman Catholics debate Prostestants. They always end on division over authority and Catholics will always "win" because they claim authority. We need some Orthodox vs Roman Catholic debates.

[fryingpan]

Thank you so much Kyle for addressing these issues! I always got confused when Catholics bring up a lot of these and I don't know what to think sometimes. St Mark of Ephesus is truly a lifesaver or soulsaver

[Dragosteaa]

That “WRONG” sound bite always makes me chuckle. I knew there’d be tons in this video and I was not disappointed haha thank you always for sharing your incredible wealth of knowledge

[charleybordelon]

Dang bro, I think I might be Eastern Orthodox, and I’m not saying that after watching just one video,

I’ve been watching Kyle’s “ If you’re Catholic” playlist for the past few days, and learning more about the history of the Catholic Church, and the history of the true Church is certainly pointing to Eastern Orthodoxy.

I’ve been praying about it, and have yet to go to a Divine Liturgy, but I’m swaying towards Orthodox Christianity.

[nunkatsu]

Kyle, can you please make a video about liberation theology? It's a latin American heresy that claims that Jesus was a communist who preached class struggle. I don't know how popular this heresy is outside of Latin America, but, as a latino I think this video would be much appreciated

[ofaoilleachain]

The Orthodox did evangelise, and they didn't genocide the natives, either linguistically or physically. Just look at the Russian Orthodox missions to Alaska, not to mention that map you showed from Kursk root lodge doesn't even show all the churches(for whatever reason)

[joewatts]

That video of the orthodox priest calling out the pope was the first instance of eastern orthodoxy I've ever saw. Saw I on lauren chen's twitter when I used to be on there

[vladodobleja]

Father Justin Popovic was a great friend of Romanian Orthodox Elder Cleopa, they are both saints in their own right!

[st_magna]

Have you read the brothers karamazov? There's a chapter called the Inquisitor where Dostoevsky talks about how the Catholic Church elevated the Pope higher than Christ

[Tunas_Pt]

I'm a Catholic, and i so confused about this conflict between catholic and orthodox

Ps : i already began to attend Divine liturgy in orthodox Church, and i just want to know deeper.

Edit :
Thank you for so many explain and example that you guys give, and i already did asking a few question about Christianity to Orthodox Priest, from Orthodox view of course.

And yeah, its answered a few of my question, but i got some issues that i cant agree.

So i hope i can also ask few question to Catholic priest too, since in my country the catholic priest have so many jobs, so they maybe dont have a time for a dialogue, but i will try as hard as i can.

And i hape i can get the final answer at the end, God Bless Everyone, Thank you.

Amazing how low tier the Catholic Answers crew is.

Just want to share my story of conversion.
Since I was a child, I never liked Roman Catholic mass. Too loud, too much animation and dancing, too much instruments and sound boxes. Growing into my teen years, I started to notice a lot of stuff that just didn't make sense, like us inheriting the sins of Adam, Mary also being immaculately conceived, the excessive use of statues to the point where superstition of touching or rubbing or kissing the statue would supercede the devotion to the person being depicted. I would start to learn what the Novus Ordo and the Charismatic Reformation was, and started to slowly back away and turn myself from the Vatican.
My mother was curiously raised in a trad cath manner, in the sense of the ways before the VCI. She passed down to me an icon of the Woman of the Apocalypse and a family devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, an Orthodox icon.
The final straw for me was when the priests stopped giving us the Blood of Christ along with His Body. For some while, I had been receiving communion while knelt. One day, our parish priest had to attend some final rites at some houses, so an out of town priest came to celebrate. He refused to give me communion while I knelt. I stayed until he begrudgingly and annoyed complied.
Only when I discovered Orthodoxy about 2 years ago was when I saw most of my life I had an Orthodox view on the faith and on my way to want to get closer to God. So in my view, God has set me on this path of conversion since childhood. Im 4 months into my catechism, Glory to Christ for He has Risen. Through Him, all things are possible.

[seankearns]

Kyle, please pray for my catholic dad! I recently told him I want to become orthodox, but it has just led to useless arguments. Glory to God we are attending our first divine liturgy this weekend and the priest would like to talk to us personally during coffee hour, maybe his doubts will be cleared by then.

[deacon]

Great video Kyle! Your videos have come a long way and I’m this video you came off extremely calm and collect and logical, good stuff man.

[SilouanJerome]

He had the audacity to say look at the fruits of Orthodoxy? Wow, look at the fruit’s of papal Protestantism. At this point if they can’t see the degeneracy of their system I don’t know what else to say.

Matthew 7:16-20
King James Version
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

[nineteenn]

I can add that 5:25 is contradicted by Chieti Document 18:
"Reception by the Church as a whole has always been the ultimate criterion for the ecumenicity of a council."
