Unapologetically Catholic

Most Catholics and Protestants think that the Catholic Church would completely disagree with Protestants on the 5 solas of the reformation. Catholics completely agree with 3 of the 5, COULD agree with 1 of the 5 and only disagree with 1 of the 5. In this video I discuss where we agree, disagree and the WHY behind both.

Catholics often talk about the necessity of the sacraments for salvation. While this is true, I think neglecting the other vital part of the sacraments is why Protestants think Catholics believe in a "works based salvation". In this video I discuss the part of the sacraments I rarely here talked about by other Catholics. I think if we highlight this more, our Protestant brothers and sisters will have a fuller view of what the Church really teaches about salvation.

I grew up a Calvinistic Protestant and was convinced I had the highest view of grace. I studied theology regularly and was convinced that this was the proper view of what God's grace was capable of. That changed when I became Catholic and I did not expect it. When I became Catholic I understood how powerful God's grace truly is and how incredible it really can be in the life of a sinner. God doesn't just want to see us as righteous but He can MAKE us righteous

The SSPX has officially been excommunicated from the Catholic Church. I have seen many Catholics express sorrow over this and rightfully so. This caused me to, almost immediately, think of our Protestant brothers and sisters. We need to extend that same desire of reunification we have with the SSPX to our Protestant brothers and sisters. Division within the body of Christ is never good and we should always pray for and work for reunification.

As a Protestant who converted to the Catholic faith, there was a lot of change I was expecting in becoming Catholic. I studied the faith for about 8 years before converting to Catholicism so I was expecting a lot but not this. I knew how faith and works were understood in Catholicism but I learned I didn't FULLY understand that connection. In this video I talk through how truly understanding this has helped deepen my faith life in a way I was not expecting.

Catholicism sometimes is seen as something that is completely different from Christianity, but that is not the case. Catholicism is the fullness of the Christian faith and in this video I talk about just that. Everyone desires truth and I've seen Protestants have a desire for the sacraments without even knowing it. I've experienced it myself too! If we can help our Protestant brothers and sisters see that what they're longing for is found in the Catholic faith, I think we would continue to see the Church grow.

This may be surprising but Catholics have the Word of God as their authority and it is the Word of God ALONE that is their authority. As a Protestant who converted to Catholicism, this was something that was truly eye opening for me. I thought that scripture was the only infallible rule of faith for the Christian but as I continued to study, I realized that couldn't be the case. Scripture is vitally important but that is not only how God communicates his Word to us. In this video, I talk about why the Word of God is not contained to scripture alone and why we need scripture, Tradition and the magisterium to have the fullness of the Word of God!

The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing, but is that REALLY possible? It can seem nearly impossible to do as normal people with busy lives. The truth is that praying always IS possible. In this video I talk through how I personally pray without ceasing as a dad of 7 children, with a full time job, running a YouTube channel and volunteering at my local parish. I also give some practical tips on how to pray even if you don't have time to bow your head, close your eyes and have a thought out prayer. Putting these things into practice has really had an impact on my life and I know if you increase how much you pray, it will make a lasting impact for you too!

Many Christians experience seasons where faith feels dead. This is feeling is no stranger to the Saints. St. John of the Cross writes about this very thing in his book "Dark Night of the Soul". If it feels like your prayer goes no higher than the ceiling, Mass feels like an absolute chore and theres a sense of extreme spiritual dryness, this video is for you.

Although that feeling can be crushing, there is great hope in that Dark Night. God may be allowing you to go through this period for your spiritual growth, a kind of "growing pains" in your faith. In this video I explain why these periods of dryness can actually be a sign you're growing spiritually and how to persevere through it.

Nobody desires evil, so why do we sin?In this episode of Unapologetically Catholic, I sit down with my friend Anthony, a Catholic convert, psychotherapist, and adjunct university professor to explore the Catholic understanding of sin, desire, and the human search for the good.We discuss why people don’t wake up wanting to choose evil, but instead pursue what appears good in the moment. Drawing from Catholic theology, philosophy, and psychology, we explain how sin is a “missing of the mark”, a misrecognition of the true good God created us for.Inspired by the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine, this conversation shows that evil is not something we desire in itself, but a lack or distortion of the good. Our wills naturally aim toward goodness, but our understanding becomes clouded by temptation, habits, and disordered desires.We also explore:Why sin feels attractive at firstHow addiction reveals the false promise of sinThe difference between mortal and venial sinHow deliberate consent and knowledge factor into moral choiceWhy sin damages us spiritually, mentally, and physicallyHow the Church and the sacraments heal what sin woundsWhy confession is medicine for the soulHow heaven and hell are ultimately about what we desireThis episode highlights the Catholic view of the human person as created in the image and likeness of God, wounded by sin, but never destroyed. God does not abandon us in our brokenness. Through grace, the sacraments, and right desire, we are invited back toward the good we were made for.As C.S. Lewis famously suggested, the doors of hell are locked from the inside. God gives us what we choose and the Christian life is about learning to desire Him above all else.Whether you’re Catholic, exploring the faith, or coming from a Protestant background, this conversation will help you better understand:Why sin hurts usWhy God’s commandments are not arbitrary rulesAnd how grace restores true freedomBe sure to subscribe to the channel and share this video with your friends!Want more from Unapologetically Catholic?
