  1. All Communist regimes try to remove God, religious authority from the populations, state wants control everything, sound like the Democrats and Biden? The socialism agenda that is now driving our country is an attack on God, Country our unborn, and the constitution. The people leading this parade are traitors to everything our Country has stood for since inception. They are power crazed atheists who have sold their souls for money and power, Just like the thousands of dead who voted for Biden but did not, the thousands of aborted souls who wanted to be born but were not, and the thousands of seniors who were forced to die before their time are all waiting for the Biden and his chosen group of America's haters.

  2. The church’s stance on abortion is crystal clear, and before long, they may begin ramping up pressure on all Catholics and Christians to vote the Democrats out, as far as Biden and Pelosi are concerned, no Sacraments, no Communion. no Confessional, no Last Rites. Leaders of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a joint condemnation of" taxpayer-funded abortions" included in the recently passed “American Rescue Plan.” This group issued a statement saying, “For 45 years, the United States Congress – whether controlled by Democrats or Republicans – has maintained that taxpayers should not be forced against their conscience to pay for abortions. Abandoning this only goes to serves and divide people in the very moment we should be united.” This statement puts all eyes on both Pelosi and President Biden, who also claims to be a practicing Catholic. They can claim what ever they want but now the Church and it's Bishops are not impressed. Pelosi and Biden will no be able to receive Church blessings much longer and any fellow Democrats won't be receiving Christian votes much longer.

  3. Catholicism is fundamentally more right wing in social issues (not economic ones) , so you can't call yourself a catholic and kill babies or support lgbtqaifrghrgh ….

  4. Please,Mr. President,pass a death penalty law against child molesters,he would be more valuable,than the every Pope that ever existed in the history of the Catholic church amen

  5. What have the Catholic bishops done to promote lasting solutions to the problems of racism, sexism, homelessness, poverty and inadequate access to affordable health care, education and justice? Charitable acts are all well and good, but where is the support for changes or even the detailed solutions that only government can perform?

  6. After all, who are we to judge others but only the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY as HE has the final say in everything. He who has no sin, let him cast the first stone.

  7. "Nicene Creed, 325AD"
    Core beliefs of the Universal Church

    We believe in one God,
    the Father, the Almighty,
    maker of heaven and earth,
    of all that is, seen and unseen.

    We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
    the only Son of God,
    eternally begotten of the Father,
    God from God, Light from Light,
    true God from true God,
    begotten, not made,
    of one Being with the Father.
    Through him all things were made.
    For us men and for our salvation
    he came down from heaven:
    by the power of the Holy Spirit
    he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
    and was made man.
    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
    he suffered death and was buried.
    On the third day he rose again
    in accordance with the Scriptures;
    he ascended into heaven
    and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
    He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
    and his kingdom will have no end.

    We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
    who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
    With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
    He has spoken through the Prophets.
    We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
    We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
    We look for the resurrection of the dead,
    and the life of the world to come.
    Amen.

  8. Lol, there’s Church of Google who knew everything in this world, all they input or written there have links and references, anything as long as there’s credible sources, they’re neutral. You cant edit words there easily cause they’re going to banned your IP address. All but facts, worship Microsoft. Search there, and learn it by yourself. Four Pillars of True Church: 1. Apostolic Succession (Church of Christ in Rome founded by St. Peter and St. Paul) 2. The Ecumenical Councils, 3. Tradition or the celebration of Christian mystery esp. Sacred Liturgy, 4. Scriptures or the Bible.
    None other than. #OneHolyApostolicCatholicChurch33AD

  9. "What we know by FAITH and what we learn by REASON cannot be in conflict."
    – St. Augustine of Hippo, Church Father of Latin Christianity (354AD.)
    .
    Historically, the Catholic Church has often been a patron of sciences. It has been prolific in the foundation and funding of schools, universities, and hospitals, and many clergy have been active in the sciences. Historians of science such as Pierre Duhem credit medieval Catholic mathematicians and philosophers such as John Buridan, Nicole Oresme, and Roger Bacon as the founders of modern science. Duhem found "the mechanics and physics, of which modern times are justifiably proud, to proceed by an uninterrupted series of scarcely perceptible improvements from doctrines professed in the heart of the medieval schools."
    .
    Catholic scientists, both religious and lay, have led scientific discovery in many fields. From ancient times, Christian emphasis on practical charity gave rise to the development of systematic nursing and hospitals and the Church remains the single largest private provider of medical care and research facilities in the world. Following the Fall of Rome, monasteries and convents remained bastions of scholarship in Western Europe and clergymen were the leading scholars of the age – studying nature, mathematics, and the motion of the stars. During the Middle Ages, the Church founded Europe's first universities, producing scholars like Robert Grosseteste, Albert the Great, Roger Bacon, and Thomas Aquinas, who helped establish the scientific method.
    .
    During this period, the Church was also a major patron of engineering for the construction of elaborate cathedrals. Since the Renaissance, Catholic scientists have been credited as fathers of a diverse range of scientific fields: Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) pioneered heliocentrism, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) prefigured the theory of evolution with Lamarckism, Friar Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) pioneered genetics, and Fr Georges Lemaître (1894-1966) proposed the Big Bang cosmological model, he is the Father of Big Bang Theory. The Jesuits have been particularly active, notably in astronomy. Church patronage of sciences continues through institutions like the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (a successor to the Accademia dei Lincei of 1603) and Vatican Observatory (a successor to the Gregorian Observatory of 1580).
    .
    In the words of J. L. Heilbron of the University of California, Berkeley, the "Roman Catholic Church gave more financial aid and social support to the study of astronomy over six centuries, from the recovery of ancient learning during the late Middle Ages into the Enlightenment, than any other, and probably, all other institutions." This financial and social support extended also to other branches of scientific inquiry
    .
    As the world's oldest and largest continuously functioning international institution, it has played a prominent role in shaping the history and development of Western civilization we now know today. The Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of education and medical services in the world. The Catholic Church manages 26% of health care facilities in the world, including tens of thousand hospitals, clinics, orphanages, pharmacies and centers for those with leprosy. The church has always been involved in education, since the founding of the first universities of Europe. It runs and sponsors tens of thousand of primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities throughout the world and operates the world's largest non-governmental school system.

  10. "FACTS ABOUT THE BIBLE"
    The Christian Bible was initiated, gathered, compiled and produced by the Church of Christ in Rome founded by St. Peter and St. Paul or the Roman Catholic Church in the late 3rd-century and approved for general Christian use by the local councils at Rome (382AD), Hippo (393AD) and Carthage (397AD). Catholic bishops had convened to decide on which books would be part of the New Testament canon, considering that there were hundreds of letters/epistles, and gospels that exist in the first 300 years of Christianity. Finally, the Church officially decided that only 27 books were part of the New Testament, and added it to 46 books of the Septuagint Old Testament scriptures, making a one single 73- book bound called the Bible.
    .
    Pope Saint Damasus 1, chose the scriptures which he considered genuine and ordered.
    .
    Saint Jerome, translate it in Latin and compile everything into a single volume of the scriptures in the caves in Jerusalem for 30 years (397-467AD).
    .
    Pope Siricius, named the it "Bible".
    .
    Tertullian, gave term "New Testament"
    He is also the oldest extant of Latin Writer to use the term "Trinitas" or "Trinity".
    .
    Arch. Stephen Langton, Friar Hugo de Caro, and Sanctes Pagnino, credited for creating "Chapters and Verses" for the purpose of letting its readers easily memorize certain passage in the Bible.
    .
    The oldest extant copy of a complete Bible is an early 400AD parchment book preserved in the Vatican Library, known as the Codex Vaticanus. The oldest copy of a complete Latin Vulgate Bible is the Codex Amiatinus (800AD), also preserved in Vatican Library. The Vulgate is the basis of current version of Catholic Bible we used today and for over a thousand years (400–1530AD), the Latin Vulgate was the most commonly used edition of the most influential text in European society as it was the only version of the Bible ever encountered.
    .
    Johannes Guttenberg, a German Catholic inventor who introduced printing to Europe. He's the first to produced printed Bible. He had produced several printed bibles coming from the Latin Vulgate. Prior to that, all Bibles were written by hand through Catholic monks inside the “Scriptorium”. It took for them about 10 years to finish a single complete bible.
    .
    The Bible is used for Church Liturgy or Mass. Protestants had accused that the Church had discouraged its members to read the Bible. This is not true. In fact, at every Catholic Mass throughout the world two readings from the general body of the Bible, and one from the Gospels are being read everyday. All Catholic homes have a Bible and Bibles taught in Catholic schools.
    .
    Furthermore, Protestants think that the Church forbade people from reading the Bible by putting it on the Index of Forbidden Books, but the Bibles placed on the Index were protestant versions (lacking 7 books or badly translated versions). The most famous of which is the King James Version (KJV) which Catholics are not supposed to use.
    .
    Protestants frequently accused the Church for burning bibles so that nobody can read it. Again, that is an inaccurate history. If the Church truly wanted to destroy the Bible, then the Church had ample opportunity to do so for 1,500 years. But why we still have bibles now? Only those heretical and distorted Bible versions (e.g. Wycliffe and Tyndale Bible). It is necessary to destroy those erroneous translations in order to preserve the integrity of the Holy Scripture.
    .
    If people would have different interpretations to a single and the same bible, how much more to a distorted bible translations. Look, Luther, Calvin, Wesley, Smith Jr. and hundred more heretics cant agree on each other, each have their personal interpretation of the single and same bible, some reduce it to 66, some add to 80 books, each founded their own Christian denomination and contradict doctrines of each other.
    .
    Protestant Vs. Protestant
    Even to this modern day, the best practical way to preserve an authentic product is to burned those fake imitations which were captured by the authority. This is actually what the King of England did to those translations made by Wycliffe and Tyndale Bibles. It was the protestant King Henry VIII who ordered the killing of Tyndale, because the Anglican Church considered Tyndale as heretic. In addition, King Richard II of England also ordered to burned the Bible translations made by Wycliffe, after the Catholic Church declared him as heretic. Protestant Calvin ordered the killing and burning of Michael Servetus writings and Bible translations.
    .
    Historically, protestants reformers also destroyed many books of their fellow protestant reformers, that contradict to their teachings.
    .
    CONCLUSION
    There is no escaping to this fact, that the Bible is a Catholic book, and without the Catholic Church, non-Catholics have no Bible to use in their religious business referring to the heretics, protestant, evangelist and restoration movements. All teachings of the Church, Catechism of the Catholic Church have references in the Scriptures. Read it!. Even, the father of Protestantism named Martin Luther admitted it honestly, when he said:
    .
    ”We are compelled to concede that without the Catholic Church, we knew nothing about the Word of God (Bible)” – Martin Luther.
    .
    Another famous Non-Catholic Bible scholar from Biblical Archeology Society named Dr. Peter Flint – the first man to translate the Dead Sea Scrolls also supported it, when he said:
    .
    ” Without the Catholic Church, you have no Bible”
    – Dr. Peter Flint, Ph.
    .
    "Magisterium" is the church's authority or office to give authentic interpretation of the Word of God, "whether in its written form or in the form of Tradition." The task of interpretation is vested uniquely in the Pope and bishops. Scripture and Tradition "make up a single sacred deposit of the Word of God, which is entrusted to the Church” by their predecessors back from St. Peter, Apostles to the Church Fathers unbroken to the Bishops now. Only the Ecumenical Councils and Popes could interpret its content not by non-Catholic clergy without any authority or guide of the Holy Spirit.
    .
    Protestant only memorized passages that could benefit massively to their denomination and look flaws on Church teachings but not telling some contradictions in Scriptures as a whole. Aren’t they tired and bothered that they commonly criticizes Catholic scriptures-based doctrines when there is sister Christian churches, Orthodoxy, Coptic, Maronites, Syriac etc. and Protestants, Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist, 40,000 and still growing offshoot sects.
    .
    The Church doesn’t deny them preaching the word of God, they speak partly true of it but distorted its interpretation for their won use and motives. Only Ecumenical Council or the Church herself can answer the fullness of the truth in the Scriptures or Bible. Its a "Catholic Book" whether they agree or not, as inspired by the Holy Spirit. Catholic is only church that officially gathered, compiled, canonized and produced the Scriptures for the first one thousand year of Christianity and we now know it as "Bible". Remember, Jesus never written single word nor he leave a book as guide of his church. What he left is his teachings and tradition that he passed on to his 12 Disciples.

  11. "CHRISTIANITY 101"
    12 out of 14 Apostle's tombs aside Judas and Andrew, all but two are in the premises of Roman Catholic Church. 6 of them in Diocese of Rome. Apostles’ Peter (Vatican), Paul, Philip, James son of Alpheus, Bartholomew and Jude Thaddeus within City of Rome. Matthew, Thomas and Simon the Zealot scattered among Catholic Churches within Italy. James the Great in Spain, John in Turkey, Matthias in Germany.
    .
    I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
    —Matthew 16:18–19.

    .
    1054AD, Great Schism happen in which divides the Great Christian Church into two branches, the Western Church that spoke Latin in Rome headed by Bishop of Rome or Pope eventually, the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Church that spoke Greek in Istanbul headed by Bishop of Constantinople or Patriarch eventually, the Orthodox Catholic Church, as its official name. 4 Pillars of True Church: 1. Apostolic Succession (Christian Church in Rome founded St. Peter and St. Paul) 2. The Ecumenical Council, 3. Traditions or the celebration of Christian mystery esp. Sacred liturgy and 4. Scriptures.
    .
    The core beliefs of the Universal Church are found in the Nicene Creed, that the Catholic Church is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church founded by Christ in his Great Commission more than 2000 yrs. ago, that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles, and that the Pope is the successor to Saint Peter, upon whom primacy was conferred by Jesus Christ. It maintains it practices of the original Christian faith, reserving infallibility, passed down by sacred tradition, 400 yrs. before the Bible was compiled.

    In Christendom, the largest traditions are:
    Roman Catholicism: 1.4 billion
    Eastern Orthodoxy: 300 million
    Oriental Orthodoxy: 75 million
    Protestantism: 540 to 900 million from 40,000 plus and still growing offshoots Christian sect, denomination, restoration and non-Trinitarian movements.
    .
    Apostles Creed, 2nd-century
    Affirmation of faith of Christians to Jesus and his Church

    I BELIEVE IN GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, creator of heaven and earth.

    I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, his only Son, our Lord.
    He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
    Under Pontius Pilate, He was crucified, died, and was buried.
    He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again.
    He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
    He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

    I BELIEVE IN HOLY SPIRIT,
    the holy catholic church,
    the communion of saints,
    the forgiveness of sins,
    the resurrection of the body,
    and the life everlasting.
    Amen.

  12. In a just and honorable society, Joe Biden and the Cuomo brothers would be excommunicated by the Catholic church.

  13. A president has no right to push the teachings of his faith on the entire country. In fact, it's his obligation NOT to do that.
    If the church persists in pressuring our president, that will be the last straw for me.

  14. That S OF B biden the filthy socialist does not qualify to receive communion it seems to me shameless that it has taken so long for the Catholic church to condemn that crook rat ! .

  15. As a Catholic, abortion is against the Catholic faith. Our founding fathers also gave us the separation of Church and state. One of the Ten commandements states: "Thou shall not kill". I challenge the church to actually do something about this commandment and follow it to the rule and stop picking hot political issues. Where is the church when innocent US citizens are killed during "Mass Shotings", by law enforcement, by right wing and malitia groups, what about all the wars being fought around the world in which innocent people are killed. The President was put in power to follow the law of the land-not selective rules as manadated by religion.

  16. As if this is the biggest problem facing the Catholic Church in the US. Maybe they can drive even more people away.

  17. To be a devout Catholic, you HAVE TO BELIEVE CERTAIN THINGS. If you don’t, THEN DON’T CALL YOURSELF A CATHOLIC. It’s simple.

  18. At least Biden doesn't get photo ops holding the Bible upside down! Who are these priests to judge anyone? Bunch of pedophiles. Sorry, I'm not against the Catholic religion, just their leadership.

  19. It's not about separation from church and state. It's not about politics. Not even about "religion". It's about getting right with God. Abortion is murder! Repent and get right with God and then take Holy Communion.

  20. THEY THINK ITS "GRAVE MORAL EVIL" but what about the hundreds of priest who molested and raped children. They were sent to a catholic owned rehab facility. they were never prosecuted by the law.

  21. but when boys get molested by priests they do and say nothing, trump couldn't even hold a bible right and gassed people to get the photo, did the religious people care then, very few, they speak up now of course

  22. He is no Catholic. He should be excommunicated. Becket would’ve excommunicated his BEHIND. I consider ProLife Protestants and Catholics who actually practice their Faith in Christ “Catholic” because they are “Pro Life Christians”

  23. Democrats will have more to worry about for the midterms, the payback of the Christian's:

    Why are Pelosi and Biden pushing for "tax payor funded abortions" in their "virus relief" packages? They said before when asked, they would not, the tax payors, want to know why they are now?. During a vice presidential debate last year, Biden said he personally accepted his church's teaching that" life begins at conception", and as a personal matter he opposes abortion. But he added that he would not impose his belief on others and believes every women should have the right to make that choice. This position is a contradiction in his reality, Biden and Pelosi play that game with the American public, it's called agreeing with opposite views, and in the same breath not taking any real position. The walls are closing thou, in on these two double talkers, and in their age brackets they will not have long to wait to meet their maker. Their BS might work on this side, but not in the real hereafter, plus there will be thousands of unborn souls waiting for them to explain why, they were aborted ,not given their chance at life. Pelosi and Biden who claims to be a practicing Catholic, has been under serious pressure from the pro-life Catholic Church. Leaders of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a joint condemnation of" taxpayer-funded abortions" included in the recently passed “American Rescue Plan.” The group issued a statement saying, “For 45 years, the United States Congress – whether controlled by Democrats or Republicans – has maintained that taxpayers should not be forced against their conscience to pay for abortions. Abandoning this compromise in a time of national emergency only serves to divide people in the very moment we should be united.” This statement puts all eyes on both Pelosi and President Biden, who also claims to be a practicing Catholic. The church’s stance on abortion is crystal clear, and before long, they may begin ramping up pressure on Catholics to vote Democrats out. The Catholic problem will certainly be something to watch as the midterm elections approach. Democrats are already in a tough spot, and making more enemies will not help their cause and guess what folks it's just not Catholics it's the American tax payor.$350 billion in funding for state and local governments with little to no guardrails against funding abortions. The funding formula is tilted towards blue states like California and New York who are more likely to abuse this money to fund abortions directly and bail out Planned Parenthood the abortion industry. $8.5 billion for the Provider Relief Fund, which could be used to directly finance abortions as well as to bail out abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood. Pelosi and Biden may no be able to receive Church blessings much longer any fellow Democrats won't be receiving Christian votes much longer.

  24. There is a separation of church and state for a reason, there are many faiths in this country and the president is the representative for all those in this country. For the catholic church to make any kind of judgement on Biden, I will ask, where were they with trump ? or with the crimes in the church itself !! stop the hypocrisy !! every woman has the right to make choices about her body and health without anyone adding their two cents

  25. Heres a comment for you. When are you going to tell the people the truth in plain english, directly? Language manipulation, lying by omission or any other trickery and deceit the catholic church performs will no longer be tolerated. When will you be telling the people that they gather in an orgone/chi/aether/manna/"holy spirit" box as described by Wilhelm Reich which in itself gives a reward? When will you be telling them that the stain glass windows use real gold in nanoparticles so as to alter the light that enters the building? At what point are you going to be telling the folks of this earth that you are really a bunch of sun worshipers who hide through confusion and endless outcomes and possibilities the real truth? Will there be a time in which you disclose directly to the people why such garments are worn and the real reason you interlace gold and silver throughout the garments? Your lies and reliance upon deliberate misinterpretation to keep secrets is
    despicable at best and your attempt to create superhumans via suffocation and despair is subhuman. Didnt Dante describe a circle in hell for those who trick other via language? Seems as though you have no problems scaring everyone to death via the news but you wont come out and tell exactly what you are doing? All of your papal bulls, declarations, etc have been hereby rebutted and all presumptions and assumptions are hereby null and void as of this moment. Any claim to me body heart and soul are mine and mine alone, no church needed. All oaths/fealty/loyalty declared by me are nullified due to fraud and language manipulation as no meeting of the minds was had at the time of birth ab initio. Informed consent was never had and is not had now. You cheat, steal and kill in the service of liars cheaters and killers. If you can hear me rays your hands. Better start telling them before I do. Done.

  26. I would like everyone to know that I made a song all about what this brave priest is saying. The song on my channel is called “Thorn in the Side of the King”. I encourage all of the followers of God to come watch it. God bless everyone. I love you all

  27. I think that the catholic church needs to stop harassing Joe Biden. I myself can not attend a catholic church service because they falsely accused me. And know I am banned from my own faith that I grow up with.
