Summary

I try to graciously, honestly and without misrepresentation, deal with a number of important issues related to Catholicism; the Pope, purgatory, Mary, the authority claims of Roman Catholicism, historical challenges to official teachings of the RC church, theological problems with the gospel as it is taught in the official councils of Catholicism (especially Trent) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The truth is that I wish I could say the disagreements I have with official Roman Catholic teaching were merely secondary issues. But, despite incredible agreement on many primary issues such as the inspiration and authority of scripture, the Trinity and the death and resurrection of Jesus, there remains the fact that Roman Catholicism teaches errors that seem to compromise the very gospel itself. I really wish I could affirm that the gospel is still in tact in the council of Trent or the Catechism of the Catholic Church, but I am honestly convinced it's not. So, with a heavy heart I think we need to talk about it. While the biggest issue here is the gospel I will still deal with a number of other connected topics and hope you'll find it helpful.

What you're about to watch is an interview I did with Lisa Lejeure on the topic of Roman Catholicism,

0:04.8

trying to lay out some of the real specific reasons why I not only can't be Roman Catholic,

0:09.2

but I can't hold hands with the Roman Catholic Church when it comes to their claims about their own

0:13.9

authority as well as what the gospel actually says. These are significant

0:18.8

issues. It's difficult to tackle these topics, but hopefully this video is going to give you clarity

0:23.2

if you're Roman Catholic and you're watching this is not an attack on you I'm hoping that

0:26.6

this creates more light than heat that is one of the goals in this so if you're

0:31.6

interested to hear out why I'm not a Roman Catholic as well as why in this

0:35.0

so if you're interested to hear out why I'm not a Roman Catholic as well as why I think that Roman Catholics should reconsider the teaching that they've received

0:40.0

that's what this video is for that's what this teaching, and we're just going to jump right into it.

0:43.6

Oh, and if you're interested in Lisa Lejeure's ministry, I have links below to her website and her

0:48.0

ministry women's Bible study, and thank you to her for inviting me on to do this long but really needful teaching since so many people will not really talk very carefully about this topic, but it's important.

1:00.0

We already did two sessions on Johov witnesses, two on Mormonism, and now today we're

1:04.9

going to talk about Catholicism, which is kind of a big deal.

1:08.9

Actually for both Micah and I, we're just,

1:11.0

it's a big topic. What do we say there's 1.2 billion Catholics in the world and when you talk against not even against, but confront that.

1:23.4

That's a big thing to do.

1:25.3

So last week, Mike, I was in California.

1:28.6

We were there for vacation.

1:30.6

And apparently, you guys, it's mandatory for you to wear face masks. Okay, yeah, I think I'm supposed to even wear one right now while I'm alone at home. I think

1:39.9

1:45.0

You didn't have to wear face masks to go anywhere.
