Hey Grey, how are you? So, I'm very new to your channel, though instantly I started loving your videos, not only because they're straight to the point and short but also have QUALITY. I'm from Brazil, and I'd like so much to watch a new video of yours with something regarding my country, as you did with the UK and Canada. Cheers, have a nice day whenever you're reading this comment (very unlikely)!
"You will go far in the Church." "I have no desire to go far. My only ambition is to be a good priest." "You will be that, of course. Nevertheless, you will go higher. And do you know why?" "Why?" "Because," said Orselli, "you are not afraid of worldliness. I do not mean that you are worldly. Far from it. But you have a talent for being all things to all men." ― Henry Morton Robinson, The Cardinal
Quite incomplete. The other "catholic" churches are actually ex orthodox churches that were forced to accept the Pope as the ultimate leader of the church. They generally keep most of the orthodox rules and just accept the Pope as supreme leader. The incorporation of these churches into the catholic church was done by military force and being neither fully orthodox or fully catholic they are kinda un-accepted by both sides
Would be easier to become Pope of one of those smaller breakaway churches. There's a bunch of them and since they are smaller it should be easier less competition.
Eastern Catholics are not Eastern Orthodox. They share Roman Catholic theology but use Byzantine rites, not Roman. I believe he is including the churches in communion with Rome as those 23 churches as well.
There is however a (to an extent*) different eastern Catholic canon law *turns out you don't have to modify orthodoxy a whole lot to just be a good Catholic I wonder why that would be 🤔🤔🤔 sources: I like Roman cats, you could call me a Roman cat holic
A lot of people don't know about Anglican priests converting to Catholicism. An interesting fact is that if an Anglican priest who converted and is celebrating Mass while his wife or kids are in an emergency ie - accident, he must finish the Mass before he can attend to them.
Pope Francis is still alive. Pope Benedict XVI is also still alive, and he resigned several years ago. That was what inspired CGP Grey to make the "How to Become Pope" video, to explain the mechanics of climbing the Catholic corporate ladder.
This video was recently published, not uploaded; there is a distinction. As is consistent with the motif of older things online being affected by changing features and the issues of compatibility associated with that, it appears the true upload date of this video is lost on the very page the video appears on.
Speaking of which. When they require the priests/bishops/cardinals/etc to remain celibate, how exactly do they know? Do they give visual exams of the foreskin to make sure it hasn't stretched out?
These footnotes are not that. CGP Grey comes back from the void with half a dozen footnote videos, and they're all going to be on YT Trending before we're done with them.
They were annotations in the videos. The problem is that NOburn removed annotations, so Grey had to either make them public, or accept that no one will ever see them again.
