I Love Being Catholic. Here's Why.

take it for what it's worth a Satanist a real genuine Satanist believes Satan exists and say okay that's true they also might believe Satan should be worshiped oh that's where it's false my name is father Mike Schmitz and this is the sense present I have to say this right now right away I'm so grateful to the Lord that I'm Catholic I love being a Catholic Christian why well I have another video about are all religions the same or why be Catholic and not just Christian and those remain the same they may they remain true go take a look at those if you haven't yet I get to have an expans of mind and expansive heart when it comes to all world religions and say no there's goodness there and there's truth there but there's kind of like this concentric circle of goodness and Truth Hindus would believe that the spiritual world is real right that there are spirits everywhere and we'd say yeah that's true they would also believe that there's you know millions of deities right millions of gods and we say oh no that's that's inaccurate that's not true so there's truth there but there's also some error Islam would believe that God exists yeah absolutely that's that's that's true that God is good that that's true God is all power F yeah that's true but they also would believe that that Jesus isn't God okay that's where they're wrong same thing with our Jewish brothers and sisters to whom we owe a massive debt and we basically from whom we received everything including our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that there's so much truth in Judaism and so much goodness in Judaism we would affirm all the goodness and all the truth in Judaism now keep getting closer and closer we have our our non-catholic brothers and sisters who not only believe in the spiritual world not only believe in God not only believe that God is one but also that God is a trinity of persons right father Son and Holy Spirit also believe in at least 66 books of the Bible there's a lot of goodness and a lot of TR they have the Holy Spirit I mean how many Christians have you met who like they have the spirit in abundance it's beautiful it's powerful they know the scripture so well it's amazing they can do community well they can discipleship well they serve well they give a lot I mean they can walk the walk and there's a lot of goodness and a lot of Truth in so many different Protestant denominations so much goodness so much truth as Catholics we believe that the fullness of Truth subsists in the Catholic church so all these other religions including other Protestant denominations have goodness have truth but the fullness of that truth subsists in the Catholic Church like as an example I did the Bible in your podcast and I was so grateful because we had a ton of Catholics reading the Bible listening to the Bible going through the Bible learning the Bible in an entirely new way we also had a bunch of non-catholic Christians and atheists and other people who are listening to the Bible with us and one of the things that happens is if you know this that the the Protestant Bible has 66 books and the Catholic Bible has 73 books now the 73 books go all the way back to the year 250 uh maybe in the year 298 Council of Carthage all these things and then the 66 books happened when Martin Luther took out those seven books so the Catholic Church all which used to say the Christian church for the first 1500 years essentially after the Canon was established was made up of 73 books then Martin Luther in the 1500s took out those seven books and so now all of our non-catholic brothers and sisters have had 66 books of the Bible for the last 500 years when a lot of Protestants got to go or non-catholic Christians got to go through the Bible in year they were exposed to the other seven books they were unknown books maybe they might have been um books that had that raised a lot of questions but these seven books were actually our non-catholic Christian brothers and sisters it was part of their inheritance one of the things I tried to say in in reading books like Sak in wisdom in 1 and second mccabes these books of saying like okay don't be uh turned off by these books but realize these are supposed to be your books right if you're a Christian who professes faith in Christ and you know God is Father Son and Holy Spirit and you believe that he Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead and ascended to heaven and he sent his holy spirit to us these 73 books all 73 of these books are actually meant to be your inheritance they are your inheritance it's just that because of other decisions from other people you weren't given your inheritance these seven books were kept from you and I would say something similar it happens when it comes to the sacraments God through the church has given us the seven sacraments and your church if you're not Catholic you might have had one Sacrament like baptism as an adopted son or daughter of the father as a believer in Jesus Christ as a disciple of Jesus as a Christian your inheritance is seven sacraments so he he realize this when the church says the fullness of Truth subsists in the the Catholic church it's not meant to say like Hey we're the best they amazing it's to say all of you who know that Jesus is who he says he is what God had wanted for you and I believe still wants for you is to have the entirety of the written Revelation in book in the Bible 73 books what God wants for you is the entirety of the seven sacraments and also this reality that we figure we we we feel like we have to figure it out on our own and God is saying no actually you don't have to figure it out on your own I actually established a church with structure with authority with the promise of the holy spirit to guide that church into all truth you don't have to figure it out on your own this message just for all of my brothers and sisters who are not Catholic these 73 books part of your inheritance God wants you to have them these seven sacraments they're part of your inheritance God wants you to have them the church itself right the authority of the church the teaching aspect of the church the the structure of the church God wants you to have them this is part of your inheritance yes a lot of good in the church you came from because CH TR truth and goodness exist in all these different places but the fullness of goodness the fullness of Truth the fullness of your inheritance is in the Catholic church so claim your inheritance stop by a Catholic Church send an email give them a call and just tell them your story claim your inheritance this is it's not exclusive it's for you and if you're not Christian yet this is what God wants for you so claim it claim the promise claim what God wants for you and claim your inheritance from present my name is father Mike God bless okay here we go why not just Jump Right In hi my name is father Mike Schmitz and this is s what is this this is
