I have witnessed Church over step their bondaries and influence elections. Control the actions of the faithful for bitter death and bloodshed all in my name. I have seen families torn apart simply for disagreeing with the church indoctrination. I seen corruption within my walls , to which tears at my children 10 and 20 years later. And I think to myself do I really need a church for my children to trly know my name.
@thinker900 I meant no personal disrespect, only that you were hurling vague accusations (against individuals? Against the Catholic Church in particular, etc.?) in a mocking tone ("I have witnessed...") I did not mean to challenge your personal beliefs, but just to request that if you are going to imply that this video is hypocritical (which is what I read your comment to say), that you cite supporting evidence and avoid any language or manner satirizing Catholicism. Thank you.
@JamesSmith86 I also meant no disrespect toward any religion, but I dislike strawman arguments that are bias or one sided. I feel that there can be agreements made. However, all i've heard from either side is a more "my way or the highway" type of replies. I'm not asking for too much for everyone to take a step back and realize that this issue is more complex than the rhetoric both parties are spewing.
@thinker900 Granted -- this video involves no particular depth in exposition of Catholic teaching. As you can probably tell, it is a fairly simple attempt to encourage one of the great traditional devotions of our faith, which is Eucharistic Adoration. The creators seem to hope that by encouraging solid devotion, young people will be drawn to the repentance and conversion to God that will fulfill them in their deepest being.
@thinker900 Unfortunately, very few Catholics today have even a rudimentary catechesis, and are unable to defend our beliefs in any logically coherent fashion. I agree with you, that there are far too many of these Straw Man or ad hominem attacks around -- they witness to the near-perfect inability of many to think and argue. Please, do not judge Catholicism by the failure of so many believers to live up to her standards!
What a great video! Congrats to my classmates who were filmed in it! Now I want to go to Adoration...WHY haven't I taken all the opportunities I have had for it in the past 2 /2 years?
Daily opportunities for adoration really helped me when I was dealing with college stress. Now as a "grown up" I love visiting Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament too! What a beautiful gift we have!
This video could be available with subtitles in Portuguese?

"In God we Still Trust."
God is true love. He gave his only son to suffer and die for our sins. Make time for the Lord "He does exist."

@thinker900 That's pure vitriol. If you want to make a point, make it in precise argument, not broad insinuation.
