This video does not attempt to explain the vast subject of the Crusades, it is merely a short visual representation of some notable events and characters. For example; Peter the hermit, the Crusade leaders, St. Bernard of Clairvaux preaching the crusade, the capture of Jerusalem, etc. The two hymns in the background are Haec Dies and Confitemini Domino. The respective lyrics and translations of these hymns follow:

Haec dies quam fecit Dominus:
exultemus et laetemur in ea.
Alleluia.

This is the day that the Lord made:
let us be glad and rejoice in it.
Alleluia.


Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in saeculum misericordia eius. Alleluia.

Have faith in the Lord for He is good, for His mercy is forever; alleluia, alleluia!

  • @catholicpeter I will try to get a hold of it soon, thank you. A book I think will help you is the History of the Christian Church by Eugraph Smirnov. Fr. Thomas Hopko also has many good books explaining the Orthodox faith and Orthodox standings on many different subjects. By the way you may be wondering how I found you; it was on the Nicene Creed video, where I commented about procession from the Son not being in the original creed. It was several months ago, but I forgot to reply :)

  • @catholicpeter Thank you :) Yes in fact I am planning to become a monk. I hope I would be in a Mount Athos monastery, but few people make it there. More probably the Cherubim Monastery in Syria. I am not sure about the condition of Orthodox monasteries, I have only been Orthodox for about 3 years(used to be Chaldean Catholic.) But of course there are people who give hard times in our monasteries, a monk explained that in a documentary I watched recently.

  • @catholicpeter If you think I am angry or doing this to prove that I am right, you are wrong. I love having these debates, this is not a hostile argument but rather a peaceful one. Every time you eply, I simply feel obliged to defend my Orthodox faith and reply back.

  • @coolest813 I sincerely recommend "The Teachings of the Church fathers" by Fr. John Willis SJ. It is a indexed by subject compilation of the contextual excerpts relating to Catholic Dogma from the Fathers Ante and Post Nicaea up to I think John Damascene. The compilation contains both Greek and Latins. From such work you will find the agreement of the Fathers on issues of Papal Primacy, Immaculate Conception, Procession of the Spirit, etc. God bless you too.

  • @coolest813 Anyway, for 15 you have a head on your shoulders (though don't let it get puffed up, :)) Have you thought of being a monk. OSBM perhaps? I don't know how the situation is in Orthodoxy but in Catholicism (East and West) the monastery's and seminary's are either empty or full of wolves in sheep's clothing. As a Roman priest I once heard said ever so simply, we don't need priests and monks, we need GOOD priests and monks.God help us all.

  • @coolest813 It is not a game where whoever posts most or last will win. The powers temporal and spiritual are the ones with full extent of knowledge. You and I arguing are two worms fighting the battle of lions. Our arguments are insignificant and incomplete. In order to avoid further hostilities or the onset of rage, I will abstain from further argument here. Both sides (Orthodox and Catholic) have strong points, and both sides are convinced they are right. So, quid est veritas?

  • @catholicpeter I apologize, I am but 15 years of age and my knowledge is finite. I will visit my priest sometime this week(probably tomorrow) and ask him some questions, then I will reply. God bless.

  • @catholicpeter St. Clement was writing to the Corinthians telling them to be obedient to the Church of Rome(at that time most of Europe was under the Church of Rome, which is why St. Clement was writing to the Corinthians.) Nowhere in the WHOLE letter does he claim Rome has superiority over any of the other Churches(as I said he was strictly speaking to the Corinthians, not the Antiochians, not the Egyptians, etc....)

  • @catholicpeter Peter founded the Church of Antioch, and then was sent by Antioch to found Rome. Therefore the Antiochian Orthodox Patriarchs are also successors of Peter.

  • @coolest813 Again, without a uniform hierarchy and magesterium to pronounce formal declarations on matters of Faith and Morals, the Orthodox Church is essentially lifeless in pouring forth the Truth. But, I cannot convince you, nor you me, so I give you the final word. Let us pray for one another that heresy be crushed, and God defend the right.
