Wait, what makes Gendron an "expert" in Roman Catholicism? His 35 years as a Catholic? With that logic Catholics with 35 years who are still practicing are also experts of the Faith.

The ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH GAVE YOU THE BIBLE IN THE VERY
BEGINING:
THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS COMPILED THE SACRED DOCUMENTS INTO THE BIBLE:
THERE IS ONLY ONE BIBLE:

PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH WITH THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS:
THE APOSTLES WERE THEIR TEACHERS:
FIND OUT FOR YRSELF::
FIND THE TRUTH::

In all charity, “Roman” Catholic isn’t correct. It’s more accurate to say just Catholic or Latin Rite.

0:48 - "Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead." James 2:26

Ye must be born again by the Holy Spirit into the family of God by faith alone no works of righteousness is required and then LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN THAT THEY SHOULD SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY THE FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN.

Any question posed to the bible can be answered with "all or any of the above". Take your pick of a verse and you'll find a justification for nearly anything.

Psalm 119:142
Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and Your Torah is truth.

All Christian churches have at least some unity from the truths they accepted from catholicsm. Such as the trinity (those which believe in the trinity, the New Testament canon (most agree with the catholic council which determined the canon for the New Testament. Prayers for full unity/acceptance.

Which of these two fairytales is true ? Neither. Remember that they are just fairytales !!! Now, leprechauns and unicorns, they are the real deal. But are unicorns red or green ? The only true unicorn is green, of course. Except that they may appear red on Tuesdays and Fridays.

This is so sad to see and hear. Not the least of which is how un-christian and un-biblical these positons are. The institutions that have been created were built by men, and is why they are all faulty. But, like those in this segment, they barricade themselves within their various "churches", protestant and catholic alike, and argue exactly in the way Paul preached against in 1 Corinthians: 12-13. And forgetting or ignoring the words of Jesus himself (!) in Matthew 18: 20, "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” And Jesus' own words to his disciples in Mark 9: 38-41, (in part) that "... he who is not against us is on our side." We disagree because we are human animals. (Paul called us "carnal.") Our efforts should be to get to where Jesus wants us to be and not misuse our time stomping on other christians in an attempt to prove ourselves "better than" them to God. And then there's Jesus, again: Matthew 22: 37-40 (in part), "...You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. ... And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Imagine that.... If Gendron was indeed Catholic for 35 years, he must have been asleep during the Mass and catechism class. For instance, the Catholic Church teaches that we are saved by grace through faith but not faith alone. Gendron should know that there is only one place in the scriptures that Faith and alone are found together and that is James 2:24: "not by faith alone". Without grace, neither your faith or works will save you.
The Catholic Church teaches that the scriptures are authoritative but not the final authority. This belongs to the Church as the final authority, as the early Church taught and so do Catholics today. After all, if the scriptures are to be the final authority, then by who's understanding of the scriptures are we to go with? Even the reformers couldn't agree although they used the same scriptures.
The Holy Mass is the one and the same sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary but represented in a bloodless manner. Jesus no longer suffers and He no longer dies.
I think that our dear brother Gendron needs to brush up on both the scriptures and what the Catholic Church teaches.... Just a suggestion.

It is a shame people are arguing about any of this. It is as useful as arguing over how many angles can dance on the head of a pin. There are problems of real importance, affecting real people in this, the only life we know we get, that deserve the time and energy wasted by this stuff. Dosent your god suggest working on those?

[richardbrown]

There are many, many Christians who hold to Sola Scriptura and also to Baptismal Regeneration and the real, true presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

"Take, eat, this is my body."

"Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." Romans 6

He keeps saying believers.I'm not trying to be smart but, Catholics and Protestant are both believers.
Catholics and Protestants are both christians.

[bohem]

Evangelicals and others are nutty. When did Jesus or God say go strictly by the Bible that hasn't been created yet?

0:35 "unite rcc with biblical Christians..."

Ok i know he doesnt like Catholicism but im confused here...which "biblical Christians" is he talking about? Doing a search on "bible churches" in alnost any zip code comes up with all kinds of different ones and if you try them out you find they interpret the Bible differently and teach different things. So if the Bible is the ONLY authority then which Bible church is the Real bible church?

[judithstewart]

This is so sad. I’m a Catholic who grew up Protestant. It makes me sick how hateful Protestants are to Catholics. If you want to see the body of Christ at work, look at the Catholic Church all over the world. Look at the Catholic Church in my mother in laws kitchen, how they worked with the church to bring so many people out of communism and Cuba after they themselves escaped. I grew up hearing all about how horrible Catholics were, and then when I met them I realized their faith was just as strong if not stronger than any Protestant I’ve ever met. This division is sad and pointless.

If you have to be any particular religion to get into heaven, I don't think I want to get in. I'd prefer to spend eternity with people that did good works without the promise of heaven or fear of hell.

“Roman Catholicism is a different gospel. The Bible says if anyone teaches a different gospel they are cursed. We are not fellow workers on the mission field; they are the mission field.” (Gabriel Hughes - yes, the same Gabriel Hughes banned from Twitter for speaking the truth)
