As a protestant married to a catholic growing up in a family very anti-catholic, your videos have really cleared up a bunch of misconceptions of the catholic faith. Thank you so much for posting videos like these. Please continue!

For long have I waited for the triumphant return of Catholicism in Focus, and what better topic to tackle than one I am deeply passionate about, Church History!

[aborgeshonorato]

I am preparing myself to be baptized Catholic and I appreciate this video. Thank you 😊😊

[vpecheva]

I am so glad Catholicism in Focus is back!!! Thank you, Father 🙏

[patrizio]

Great summary of history...thank you Father Casey for this great effort.

Protestant and history dork here. Very nice job at giving an accurate overview on this topic and staying as unbiased as is possible on this topic. I appreciate how you addressed the protestants without insult and also without sacrificing your perspective as a loyal Roman Catholic.

[evdokiaam]

This is the most honest and informative church history I’ve heard to date. Thank you so much.

[chandlercaulder]

I am so glad that Catholic in focus is back. It is truly my favorite part of this channel keep it up Fr. Casey.

I'm a Catholic in Vietnam ! Thank you, Father

[defyingblueprints]

Can you make a video about the Catholic church in the different continents? How they grew and unique traditions that you like?

[iBuzzinga]

Crazy coincidence how today I binged church history videos for the first time and 5 hours later, this video is uploaded 🤯

Hey Father! Love your channel. I am a Hebrew Catholic and I think it would be great if you did an episode on Hebrew Catholics. Thank you, and keep up the great work!

Your presentation on the history of the Catholic Church reconfirms the church history I learned from Dominican teachers years ago. They did a good job of training me and I went on to major in history at the University Of Wisconsin. Yet today there is a segment of a very verbal minority within the church who either is not trained in church history, or is determined to misrepresent it. So thank you for presenting a very balanced and accurate picture of church history. Continue to do so. Church History 102 would be helpful to many of us.
May God bless your work.

I nearly cried when the intro for Catholicism in Focus played in a video uploaded today 😭

[benjaminhancock]

I'd be super interested in a much longer video or even a series doing a deep dive into church history.

[UnicornsForSale]

I don't know much about church history so this was great! Very interesting how the development of priests and parishes came from bishops having too many people to minister to. Makes sense!

First time I heard the "power vacuum" explanation for the circumstances that led to the great schism, thank you for the information!

[kemmow]

I don't know how others feel but I would so pay for more video content about this. You do a great job for the primer and then then bring in the catholicism series to solidify those.

[SirStephenSW]

That really held my attention. Thank you, Father. More please.
