deacon john, what is the 3rd video topic going to be? going for EENS anytime soon? ;--) would love to see what you would do with purgatory

[quad1954]

The next video will be about the "Communion of Saints" because that's where this one left off. Hoping to do the "Real Presence" next. Can you remember the movie, "The Wizard of Oz"? Remember when they got to the Emerald City how they got all cleaned up before they could go in to see the wizard? That's what purgatory is. Guess I'll have to make a video to explain that... stand by.

I have a question; I was arguing with a more traditionalist oriented Catholic, who believed the doctrine of "baptism of desire" to be a heresy. He said that the Catechism has not been infallibly declared infallible, therefore we Catholics don't have to believe it when it declares that the Church affirms the baptism of desire.

Is the Catechism infallible?

[quad1954]

By the narrowest definition, I suppose you would have to say that the Catechism is not infallible, but Lumen Gentium (Vatican II)#25 says, "This loyal submission of the will and intellect must be given to the Roman Pontiff even when he doesn not speak ex-cathedra". On the first page of the Catechism, it says, "Promulgated by Pope John Paul II". I think that answers the question of belief and adherence.

GREAT job Deacon and please continue this wonderful work of God!!!

I have a suggestion: I think as the series progresses you should create a Q&A section where people can ask and be informed about Faith.

Thanks and Remain Blessed

I had considered Q+A format for the next video. In the meantime, people can ask questions and I can answer (the best I can) right here in the comments. Thanks for your input- Deacon John

A GOOD INTRO!

[SeptemberCatholic18]

Jesus Christ established one Church on earth (Matthew 16:18), "the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Timothy 3:15)." He positioned Peter as the first pope to guide the flock (John 21:15-17), and that position has been passed down through a linage of popes (Acts 1:20) to our current Pope Benedict XVI. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against this Church (Matthew 16:19).

The Catholic Church is the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church that Jesus Christ himself established and sustains.

Hi Deacon job, good job. I will add some of your videos to my favourites.

[Childinfaith]

I loved it. Thank you for sharing this with me Deacon John :).

[natsclem]

Thanks a lot, Deacon John. I hope you will have more. The Faith has to be proclaimed as proclamation begets faith.

Thank you so much, Deacon John, for this video. As a non-participating Catholic married to a non-Catholic, I still attend Mass as I love the Sunday homily. Thank you again for a great video and look forward to the next one. God bless you.
