Capturing Christianity

BIG NEWS! On July 16, Fr. Cajetan Cuddy (Dominican priest) and Dr. Austin Freeman (Protestant scholar) are coming together for Capturing Catholicism's first ever in-person debate. On the table: Sola Scriptura. The Eucharist. And the one almost nobody is brave enough to ask out loud anymore: what would real unity between Catholics and Protestants actually look like? This is the conversation the internet keeps having badly, done right. Two serious minds. Same room. Good faith. Here's the catch. July 16 is just three weeks away, and we're not ready yet. We have to fly our guests in and get the gear to capture it the way it deserves: a camera, lens, microphone, and a new mixer. Without it, this doesn't happen. So I'm asking you to help me make it happen. Every gift, big or small, gets us closer to that room. And everyone who contributes gets their name in the credits of the show. Support our GoFundMe below and let's build something that's never been done on this channel.

No it doesn't.

Plenty of smart Protestants go to (Protestant) seminary and are confirmed in their views. Plenty of smart Catholics go to seminary and are confirmed in our views. Neither of these facts is surprising or particularly persuasive. But there are also many smart and seemingly holy, devout Protestants who study theology and Church history and they realize they have to become Catholic. This happens with enough frequency that entire books have been written about the phenomenon, as well as collections of testimonies. I personally know several former Protestant pastors who are now Catholic. I don't know of anysmart and seemingly holy, devout Catholics who study theology and Church history and realized they needed to become Protestant. To be clear, I know plenty of former Catholics (most of them now non-religious, some of them now Protestant), but invariably they didn't know or believe Catholic teaching even *before* they left the Church, and most will tell you that. I think this should be cause for reflection on both sides. On the one hand, there's clearly a problem within Catholicism of not forming the next generation well enough (this is improving, but there's a lot of work to do). And I think if I was a Protestant I would be alarmed by the fact that the more people look at the evidence, the more likely they are to conclude that Protestantism is false and Catholicism is true.

@Kaporaaa Yes.

@CapturingChrist Will it be a live debate

In my latest video (available now to all members), I'm joined by a Catholic apologist to demolish every objection to Eucharistic Miracles. Enjoy!

@Kaporaaa Next Saturday.

@CapturingChrist Is the Ethan muse and James fodor debate on Fatima still happening

@BIGKLDS Joseph Smith: *sacrifices a goat to a demon and doesn’t find treasure* Joseph Smith’s companions: *get possessed by demons* Smith’s modern followers: “😍😍😍”

Every single one of you would go treasure digging with Joseph Smith if given the chance.

I was protestant for 31 years. I loved the Bible since I was a little boy, and had multiple study Bibles I read everyday by the time I was in middle school. Most of them are still in my library to this day. But I’ve never loved nor understood the Bible as much as I do now, as a Catholic. Countless details I struggled to make sense of as a protestant now pop out, and are far clearer and richer than I ever previously knew. When I simply began listening to the Church, the Scriptures became far richer, and made far more sense.

@MikeWingerii If only there were some mechanism to tell us what the Bible means independent of whether we exist or not. 🤔🤔🤔

Worst small group question for Bible studies… “What does it mean to you?” Don’t ask what it means TO YOU but what it means independent of whether you exist or not.

@Lets_Talk_HC I rarely watch videos like this, email me a transcript. Much more likely to receive a response.

How do you respond to this video? @CapturingChrist youtu.be/zVEDxLHc2dI?is…

Clearly a demon convinced him to do this

Lock in, boys!

How I’m sleeping tonight knowing I am in communion with Pope Leo XIV

Jesus never predicted Muhammad...aside from all the verses where Christ mentions the coming of false prophets, of course.
