"Protestantism cannot surpass Catholicism in its claims because it depends on it for its very existence. A stream can't rise higher than its source; a derivative cannot exceed its principle." Sponsor: https://catholicmatch.com/ Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help

When I first became a Christian, I wanted to find the Church Jesus actually founded. But the deeper I looked into Protestantism and Catholicism, the more one thing became clear: Protestantism has no real unity apart from its opposition to the Catholic Church. In this video, I explore why Protestantism's identity depends on Catholicism, why visible unity was central to Christ's prayer in John 17, and how the early Church's structure, sacraments, and authority leave only one credible option for anyone seeking the original Christian faith.
