This video is about religious indifferentism. It exposes the fact that there is no "no man's land" in religion. To be a part of one is to be against all others. The single largest religion, is a religion that is against all religion, but pretends to not be one. it is religious indifferentism. All religions suffer from the effect of this anti-religion. It is especially effecting the Catholic Church in our times. Most catholics are not acutally catholics, they are religious indifferentists. To dissent from one teaching of the church is to cease to be catholic.... Catholics need to wake up....

You make many good points. However, I think that there is yet another position, which one must extend to some Catholics: it is possible to believe firmly in almost all of the teachings and precepts of the Church, but to be in a transitional position in regard to others, i.e. to be in a time of reception of doctrines that presently seem difficult to assert with full confidence. I am in that position. as time passes, I believe them more than I did initially. Succinctly put, I refuse to reject!

@wikworld1 Actually- no. The only difference between the catholic church b4 Constantine and after Constantine is that b4 Constantine's edit it was in hiding. All the beliefs, organizational structure, hierarchy, & all the other signs of it as an institutionalized religion existed before Constantine- but not so outwardly. B4 Constantine when Christians were being killed, they were unable to have public worship or churches. As an institution, the Catholic Church has always been there underground.

@1rams123 i guess id say whenever it became like what it is today, an institutionalised form of religion, so in that respect id say that it became that when the empire adopted it as its primary faith, any time before then it was an entirely different entity, surely you would agree with that?

@wikworld1 I'll tell you what. What criteria are you using to determine if the catholic church exists? I guarantee you this, if you use the criteria truly reflects the realisy of what the Catholic Church is, you will see that the Catholic Church existed well before 306-312 AD, It was at this time that it became the official religion of the empire- but it existed well before.

@1rams123 yeah i understand there isn't a definitive period that people have agreed on, but i do believe that there was some massive shift in power during the 1500's which the renaissance gave birth to, i need to do more research but i understand that the catholic church at the time had many grievances with the renaissance movement, mainly to do with the circulation of knowledge and ideas that contributed to modern western world as we know it, what are your views on that topic?

@wikworld1 Interesting- I have not read this book- but I would simply point out that the most recent and accurate historical and archeological scholarship to date shows that the title "dark ages" is a misnomer- It was a time of amazing progress. Also, most historians have been reducing the dark ages from 1000 to a mere 300 years- and they are not in total agreement as to which 300 years or so this period is in. I'll look into this book as well. But Thomas E wood's book is a real eye opener.

Actually its not changing as it is more like peeling back layers of information.
This quote "follow the direct teachings of Christ and all the other enlightened prophets, not through a diluted and manipulated form sponsored by a particular institute" AGAIN....FAILS FAILS FAILS to see why there is an institute in the first place. Hey... have you ever played baseball? How about baseball in pitch black! That's what interpreting scripture is like without early church fathers.
