In this episode of YouTube Catechesis, we take on a common but dangerous assumption: that every Christian can interpret Scripture with authority on their own. But where does the Bible actually say that? We explore key passages that challenge private interpretation and highlight how the early Church understood authority, tradition, and teaching. Drawing on the apostles, Church Fathers, and Scripture itself, we show why Christ entrusted the task of interpretation to His Church, not to individuals. Join us as we examine the roots of doctrinal chaos, the clarity of apostolic teaching, and the gift of unity safeguarded by the Catholic Church.

And if you want to go even deeper, I’ve prepared a PODD **(Patreon-Only Deep Dive)** where I break this topic wide open. You’ll get an exclusive extended audio episode, plus a one-page summary you can use to defend the faith in real conversations. I’ve also completely overhauled the Patreon tiers, no more basic shout-outs. Everyone now gets a **massive upgrade** with early access, deep dive content, and practical resources to grow in your faith and help others do the same. Check it out and join the community!

In this episode of YouTube Catechesis, we tackle a bold question: Why did the Protestant Reformers remove seven books from the Bible? We trace the history of these Deuterocanonical books, their use by Jesus and the apostles, and how they were affirmed by the early Church through apostolic tradition. We also examine the real reason they were removed: because their content challenged Reformation theology. Join us as we unpack how the Bible came to be, why Scripture and Tradition go hand in hand, and what’s truly at stake when we sever ourselves from the Church that preserved it.

And if you want to go even deeper, I’ve prepared a PODD (Patreon-Only Deep Dive)** where I break this topic wide open. You’ll get an exclusive extended audio episode, plus a one-page summary you can use to defend the faith in real conversations. I’ve also completely overhauled the Patreon tiers, no more basic shout-outs. Everyone now gets a **massive upgrade** with early access, deep dive content, and practical resources to grow in your faith and help others do the same. Check it out and join the community!
