Unapologetically Catholic

I was a Protestant who was trying to understand the Catholic view of salvation, but it never really made sense. Why were good works needed? Why was purgatory necessary if Jesus said on the cross "it is finished"? Why did Catholics say they HAD to participate in the sacraments if they hoped to be saved? None of it made sense until I realized I was starting with the presupposition that salvation was a declaration not a transformation. Once I understood that, everything started to click. I lay out the Protestant and Catholic view of salvation and show how scripture points to salvation being a process of transformation not a one time declaration.Learn more and join the community here: https://www.skool.com/unapologetically-catholic-6148/about?ref=85383f70cd48474d9118a1f4c270afd5Council of Trent Decrees on Justification: https://www.papalencyclicals.net/councils/trent/sixth-session.htmJimmy Akin's "The Drama of Salvation" was VERY helpful for me in understanding this.

In this episode I discuss the two MAJOR reasons I could no longer agree with sola scriptura. My entire life I believed that scripture was the only infallible rule of faith until I started asking some questions on things that I always assumed were true and quickly realized, there were some major problems. This was the major turning point for me in my years long conversion process.What were some of the major things that lead you into the Church? OR do you think my questions of sola scriptura in the video are easily answerable?

Is Christ re-crucified at every Catholic Mass?

This is a common question and a misconception I had myself. In this video, I break down what the Catholic Church REALLY teaches the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is, and whether Christ is sacrificed again and again or if it was truly "once for all".

I read from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Scripture and Joe Heschmeyer's book "The Eucharist is Really Jesus" to answer questions like:

What does the Church mean by "the sacrifice of the Mass"?

Is Christ's sacrifice being repeated or re-presented?

Why do Catholics call it "the sacrifice of the Mass" if Hebrews 10:10 is clear that the Christ's sacrifice was once for all?

Whether you're Catholic, Protestant or just curious, this episode will give you a clear answer from the Catechism and Scripture on one of the most commonly misunderstood aspects of Catholic worship.

This week I talk about the Church fathers and wether or not they would be Protestant today. It's not uncommon to hear some Protestants claim that some of the Church fathers like St. Augustine, St. Jerome and St. Clement of Rome believed in some Protestant doctrines such as faith alone and scripture alone. I think there are two main things to remember when we hear these claims about the Church fathers and I discuss both of those in this video.Here are the citations to the Church father's quotes I mention in the video in order that I mentioned them: Against Heresies 3:3:2 Letter to the Romans 1:1Letter to the Romans 3:1Sermons 131,10Psalmus contra partem Donati, 18, GCC 51Against Jovinian 1:26Want more from Unapologetically Catholic?

In this episode I talk about how sure Catholics really can be about their salvation. I used to think Catholics couldn't know if they were truly saved or not. I also used to have this false since of hope that because I believed in a "once saved, always saved" soteriology, I was TOTALLY fine and KNEW for certain I was and would be saved, but that is not the case.Want more from Unapologetically Catholic?
