"edificies of theology built on little tiny statements found in scripture" says White...you mean like the Trinity? a doctrine shared by both Catholics & Protestants? :P

[KeithTruth]

@kyzersoze74 No Christian who knows Scripture would ever say the deity and distinction in person-hood between the 3 is only built on a few tiny statements. It flows from every page of Scripture.

[StAugustine79]

"This Virgin Mother of the Only-begotten of God, is called Mary, worthy of God, immaculate of the immaculate, one of the one." Origen, Homily 1(A.D. 244).

[KeithTruth]

@StAugustine79 See my debate with bingolly1 where I discuss that quote. The original word Origen used there just means pure. However, him calling Mary pure or immaculate says nothing about WHEN she was made pure - if it was at the first instance of conception preserved totally from original sin (immaculate conception), while still in the womb, or at the time of Christ. That quote doesn't tell us. And there is other material from Origen to refute the immaculate conception belief.

@BloodOfRayne I believe Scripture.

@kaspakaspa No I'm sorry friend. It is just that catholics confuse Mary with the pagan goddess Isis.

This debate is a blowout. I choose Jesus Christ!!!

[Erap1muzik]

everytime fastiggi opened his mouth... all i heard is heresy upon heresy.

[mtross70]

This bizarre adoration of Mary has to do with the worship of isis in the early church carried over by newly converted ex pagans . They just couldn't let go of the old religion and it still persists to this day . Easter is just as pagan and so is Xmas .

As Dr White described at 25:08, I Tim says it all. With this scripture, this debate is less than a minute long, but far be it for a catholic to cave in under pressure of the truth.

I Tim 2:5-6

For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

So much for Mary being a mediatrix or whatever they call her.

Live and learn.....................

.................or else.

[cr500blur]

The catholic scholar puts on a good show and is very believable, but....when the comparison is made to what he says and what actually happens, there is a serious contrast. This difference is the same between words and action. Say one thing.....do another.

The bottom line?

Everything with the spiritual IS WHAT IT IS, and is not changed by a religion. God has His rules, and they are unchanging. John 14:6 says it all...no if's and's or but's. No adding Mary, no slipping by the rules.

Anyone who listens to this can't stay a catholic unless they enjoy being in a cult.

All traditions that stand the rc church alone is paganism.

[jojjimbo]

Mary was a wonderful woman, but she is not our Mediator or Redeemer...the catholic church elevate her to a position she has no business being in, it is Jesus and not Mary...who is key in our salvation because He and only He washed us of our sins, and only He has the power to hear our prayers and answer them, not Mary or John...Peter and Paul...it was and always will be all about Jesus Christ.

This might be a legitimate video and a fair debate if they had gotten an actual Catholic to argue the Marian doctrine. From the first words he speaks, he is wrong about Catholic theology (the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes is February 11). This video is staged and it does a disservice to ecumenism.

[andrewthao17]

Dr. Fastigi sound as though Mary had authority over God, the world have salvation only becasue Mary allow it to happen

[seeqr9]

I think if the need for a virgin birth of Mary in order for Christ to be sinless to be true there would have to be an unbroken line of virgin births going all the way back to Eve.
