Within 12 seconds, he lies about what Catholics believe, while literally displaying a quote from the Catechism that refutes his lie.
You have to be completely intellectually, morally, and spiritually bankrupt to willingly behave this way.

An Evangelical, now in OCIA: “Part of me—my weakness—wants to stay Protestant because of how much my daily life would have to change. Catholics take it seriously, man: the Mass, Confession, the Eucharist, marriage—everything. Catholicism is woven into the fabric of your life.”

Even PROTESTANT scholar Alister McGrath says so:
“A fundamental DISCONTINUITY WAS INTRODUCED into the western theological tradition where none had ever existed before. THE REFORMATION UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF JUSTIFICATION must be regarded as a genuine THEOLOGICAL NOVUM.”

A miracle caught live on camera in Mexico 🇲🇽??
In July 22nd, 2022, The Host right inside the Blessed Sacrament, started to beat like a human heart. Same rhythm.
A doctor looked at it and confirmed that it truly was beating like a human heart.
The Church is yet to confirm this as a miracle. But, what do you guys think??

Free advice for Protestants (that I hope you don't listen to): when you misrepresent Catholic beliefs, you only help Catholicism seem more reasonable.
I can't tell you how many people have converted because they realized what they believed about the Church wasn't true. This realization leads a person to look even more into Catholicism and to even be more open to it.
So before you respond to a post or make a post of your own, ask yourself if you are properly representing Catholic teaching.
Or don't!

Yes. By elevating private interpretation of Scripture as the final authority without a living, binding teaching office, it removed any mechanism to settle disputes permanently. The Reformers themselves split within years over baptism, the Eucharist, and predestination. That pattern of ongoing fragmentation into thousands of groups followed, contrary to the New Testament’s repeated calls for one undivided body.

A torture chamber of Zelensky was uncovered near Kiev, where over 40 mobilised men were held captive by Ukraine's National Guard. The youngest victim was reportedly just 14 years old. There is now great outrage and riots in Ukraine against the henchmen of Zelensky and NATO.

“My wife and I are both lifelong Protestants. I took her to Mass for the first time this Sunday. I asked her what she thought, and she said, ‘It felt sacred. It felt reverent.’ If we are here to worship God, this is how that ought to be—as opposed to what we were raised with.”

The EVIL Catholic Church invented All Saints Day so they could invent Halloween so they could distract Christians from the HOLIEST DAY OF THE YEAR: Reformation Day

Yes. In On the Jews and Their Lies (1543), Luther urged burning synagogues, destroying homes, confiscating books and property, forbidding rabbis to teach on pain of death or limb, forced labor, and expulsion. He wrote that Christians were "at fault in not slaying them."
He also called for princes to "smite, slay, and stab" rebellious peasants in 1525.

Jesus: "I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
Protestants: We'll figure it out 1,500 years later and need thousands of denominations to fix it.

So God left His people in a pagan religion for hundreds of years? That's what you think? Where was the Church that hell would not prevail against? See this video on justification: youtube.com/watch?v=L14UNjaZ…

You don’t get it. There will always be wolves and sheep. Even in the True Church.
The difference is that ONLY the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church has Shepherds.
Q: WHAT DOES THE NINTH ARTICLE: THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH, THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS, TEACH US?
A: The Ninth Article of the Creed teaches us that Jesus Christ founded a visible society on earth called the Catholic Church, and that all those who belong to this Church are in communion with one another.
Q: WHAT IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?
A: The Catholic Church is the Union or Congregation of all the baptized who, still living on earth, profess the same Faith and the same Law of Jesus Christ, participate in the same Sacraments, and obey their lawful Pastors, particularly the Roman Pontiff.
Q: STATE DISTINCTLY WHAT IS NECESSARY TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH?
A: To be a member of the Church it is necessary to be baptized, to believe and profess the teaching of Jesus Christ, to participate in the same Sacraments, and to acknowledge the Pope and the other lawful pastors of the Church.
Q: CAN THERE NOT BE SEVERAL CHURCHES?
A: No, there cannot be more than one Church; for as there is but one God, one Faith and one Baptism, there is and can be but one true Church.
Q: WHY DO YOU SAY THAT THE ROMAN PONTIFF IS SUPREME PASTOR OF THE CHURCH?
A: Because Jesus Christ said to St. Peter, the first Pope: “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and I will give to thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatsoever thee shalt bind on earth shall be bound also in Heaven, and whatsoever the shallot loose on earth shall be loosed also in Heaven.” And again: “Feed My lambs, feed My sheep.”
Q: THE MANY SOCIETIES OF PERSONS WHO ARE BAPTIZED BUT WHO DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE ROMAN PONTIFF AS THEIR HEAD DO NOT, THEN, BELONG TO THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST?
A: No, those who do not acknowledge the Roman Pontiff as their Head do not belong to the Church of Jesus Christ.
Q: HOW CAN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST BE DISTINGUISHED FROM THE NUMEROUS SOCIETIES OR SECTS FOUNDED BY MEN, AND CALLING THEMSELVES CHRISTIAN?
A: From the numerous societies or sects founded by men and calling themselves Christian, the Church of Jesus Christ is easily distinguished by four marks: She is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic.
Q: WHY IS THE CHURCH CALLED ONE?
A: The true Church is called One, because her children of all ages and places are united together in the same faith, in the same worship, in the same law; and in participation of the same Sacraments, under the same visible Head, the Roman Pontiff.
Q: WHY IS THE TRUE CHURCH CALLED HOLY?
A: The true church is called Holy because holy is her Invisible Head, Jesus Christ; holy are many of her members; holy are her faith, her laws, her Sacraments; and outside of her there is not and cannot be true holiness.
Q: WHY IS THE CHURCH CALLED CATHOLIC?
A: The true Church is called Catholic, or Universal, because she embraces the faithful of all times, of all places, of all ages and conditions; and all peoples are called to belong to her.
Q: WHY IS THE CHURCH ALSO CALLED APOSTOLIC?
A: The true Church is also called Apostolic because she goes back without a break to the Apostles; because she believes and teaches all that the Apostles believed and taught; and because she is guided and governed by their lawful successors.
Q: AND WHY IS THE TRUE CHURCH CALLED ROMAN?
A: The true Church is called Roman, because the four marks of Unity, Sanctity, Catholicity and Apostolicity are found in that Church alone which acknowledges as Head the Bishop of Rome, the Successor of St. Peter.
Q: CAN ONE BE SAVED OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC, APOSTOLIC AND ROMAN CHURCH?
A: No, no one can be saved outside the Catholic, Apostolic Roman Church, just as no one could be saved from the flood outside the Ark of Noah, which was a figure of the Church.
