1:: Should Protestants Become Eastern Orthodox Instead of Catholic? Michael Lofton Responds
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 10.03.2024 · 19:19:27 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· (See table of contents below!) Eastern Orthodoxy has proved to be an attractive option for those Christians who want to be in communion with the historic Church without having to deal with an infallible Papacy, Marian dogmas, Purgatory, Modernism, etc. Here I discuss these subjects with Michael Lofton, founder of @ReasonandTheology and author of "Answering Orthodoxy: A Catholic Response to Attacks from the East" (see link below) - a book that responds to 30 objections to Catholicism often held by our Eastern brothers (and many Protestants!).

2:: Why Don't Catholics Have An Infallible Bible Commentary?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 04.01.2024 · 14:00:30 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Catholics often accuse Protestants of following their fallible private interpretations of Sacred Scripture over the authority of the Church. But the Catholic Church has no official list of authoritative Bible interpretations. What's the point of having an infallible Church if it does not (cannot?) produce an infallible commentary on Scripture? Doesn't that make the Catholic Church's Bible interpretation just as fallible as a Protestant's? Here I go into this question to explain why the Catholic Church does not have an infallible Bible commentary - and whether it matters. For the chart and links to the sources used for this video, see my website below!

3:: Could This Bible Verse Destroy Catholicism?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 22.12.2023 · 22:43:15 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· My video on why James 2:24 should destroy Protestantism was very popular and generated a massive amount of discussion. Although its main point (that everyone bases their theology on interpretive traditions and not what just on what the Bible says) was largely missed, though, as many opted to simply try to answer my "prooftext" with others - namely, Ephesians 2:8-9. So here I take a look at this passage - the darling of sola fide fans everywhere - to see if it really poses a threat to Catholic theology.

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 21.11.2023 · 01:31:23 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· The "Thief on the Cross" (aka St. Dismas / "The Good Thief" / "The Penitent Thief") is often held up by Protestants as an example of salvation by faith alone (sola fide) because Jesus promised him salvation even though he was not baptized or could perform any other good works. Is the story of the Thief on the Cross legitimate proof against the Catholic view of salvation? Here I give five reasons why the Thief on the Cross does not disprove Catholic theology.

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 25.06.2023 · 20:24:00 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· We've all heard the Catholic claim that the Protestant reliance on Sola Scriptura (the "Bible Alone") has only caused division in the Church and heresy to become acceptable - but is there a deeper, more important issue? In his book "The Obscurity of Scripture: Disputing Sola Scriptura and the Protestant Notion of Biblical Perspicuity," author Casey Chalk argues that it is actually the more fundamental idea that Scripture is clear enough for the average person to understand that has caused the most damage to Church unity. here we discuss his overall argument and see if he can answer some protestant objections.

8:: Protestants Are Christians (A Response to Timothy Gordon)
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 09.05.2023 · 16:45:58 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Catholic YouTuber Timothy Gordon put out a video titled "Are Protestants Christians?" where he gave three arguments in support of his conclusion that they are not. Here I discuss flaws in these arguments and show why the Catholic Church does in fact teach that Protestants are Christians.
0:00 Timothy Gordon: Protestants Are Not Christians
1:01 The Catholic Church: Protestants Are Christian
1:46 Theological Nit Picking
4:52 Gordon's Arguments That Protestants Are Not Christians

8:10 Response 3: The Seven Sacraments Do Not Define a Christian
8:57 ARGUMENT TWO: Protestants Deny Mary's Title "Mother of God"
10:17 Response 1: Protestants Do Not All Deny Mary's Title "Mother of God"
10:33 Response 2: Protestants Are Generally Uninformed - Not Necessarily Unfaithful
17:04 ARGUMENT THREE: Protestants Deny Christ's Presence in the Eucharist
18:38 Response 1: Denying Something About Christ is not the Same as Denying Christ
20:11 Response 2: Denying Transubstantiation is Not Denying Christ's Presence in the Eucharist

13:: Did Christianity Destroy Paganism?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 16.01.2023 · 19:58:12 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen is a novelist and youtuber specializing in Viking culture, bush craft and even some political topics. I’ve enjoyed several of his outdoor videos and appreciated his generally conservative and moral outlook on life. Recently, however, Bull-Hansen turned from carving sticks and politics to religion - specifically Paganism. Now if he were just some hippy tree hugger I wouldn’t have given him a second thought, but given his character and audience, the problematic assertions he made were more troubling and I think deserve a reasoned response.
NOTE: This video has a counterpart on my other channel (@BackcoutnryPilgrim) which looks more closely at the Christian's proper connection with, and awe of, nature. If you wish to respond, please make content-specific comments on the appropriate video. :)

17:: Should You Convert to Catholicism? A Response to Dr. Gavin Ortlund
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 16.09.2022 · 21:00:29 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Are you a Protestant who's considering becoming Catholic? Dr. Gavin Ortlund would have you consider some things first - and here I respond to his advice.
NOTE: Several commenters have accused me of misrepresenting Protestantism on the issue of communion and the "real presence." The basic line is that while SOME Protestants don't believe in the real presence, some do. This is usually followed by statements regarding Anglicanism and Lutheranism. First, this was an unscripted reaction video so I was not as perfectly precise and detailed as I could have been. Second, I continue to affirm what I said for the following reasons:
1. In all Christian traditions, the bread and wine of communion are symbols of Jesus' flesh and blood.
2. Nothing less than a substantial change converts one thing into another. (Transubstantiation is a kind of substantial change.)
3. Merely adding on a "spiritual presence" TO bread/wine is not converting bread/wine INTO flesh/blood.
4. Therefore, because the bread and wine remain ONLY bread and wine, they also remain ONLY symbols. (Regardless of what might ALSO be present with them.)

19:: Can a Catholic Believe in Sola Scriptura?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 06.07.2022 · 23:00:15 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Do Protestants really have the Bible as their highest authority (the doctrine of Sola Scriptura)? Would it matter if Catholics affirmed Sola Scriptura?

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 31.01.2022 · 15:00:19 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· We seem to be living in an age of insanity. Crimes against children, born and unborn; marriage defiled and redefined; gender confusion; the looming terror of transhumanism . . . modern culture is twisting truth into lies and lies into truth. How did we get to this bizarre point in history? My guest Gary Michuta takes us step by step through history, unmasking the enemies of faith and reason in every age in his new book, "Revolt Against Reality - Fighting the Foes of Sanity and Truth- from the Serpent to the State."
