@Teamgeist cmon. I gave the people the tools to make the internet. Give me some leeway here. And dont forget. Thats also why we now have skaterigs down here
Check your local rules and regulations before applying to be Pope. Restrictions may apply. Void where prohibited. Offer not valid in WY or ND, because why the hell are they states?
Well, there is actually one Catholic Church as an institution, those 23 groups are more commonly called "Rites" because they are part of the same Church not 23 separate groups all subject to the Pope.
Nope. This is inaccurate. A Rite is a liturgical patrimony. The 23 separate groups are in fact sui iuris Churches. The Churches are self governing and have their own Patriarchs, Metropolitans, etc. They are in communion with the Latin (Roman) Catholic Church and the Pope is considered to be “first among equals” (kinda acts like a referee if there is a dispute during the self governing).
Are you shitting me? There’s at least 7 different rites all around the Middle East and you’re big follow to a 7 year old video is this 25-second spit? God damn please do your homework and give us more quality and in depth info this this POS
Goddamn it, please make the steps more clear. I tried to follow the steps and now I am the President of the People’s Republic of China and the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China. So what do I do now?
Hmm I'm not sure about "23 Catholic Churches", as they're still part of the same Church in both leadership and fundamentals of faith. Traditions sure are different though.
We don’t describe ourselves as “under the Pope”. We say we are “in communion” and the Pope is “first among equals”. He is more like a referee if there is an issue in the self governing. Feel free to read the Code of a Cannons of the Eastern churches. It is explicitly stated that the 24 are sui iuris (autonomous) churches.
Grey is correct there are 23 (24 now) churches that make up the Catholic Church. Self governing, autonomous churches with different traditions that are in communion to make up the Catholic Church.
All you really need know, is that the Pope, is the head of the whole Catholic Church, and the head of the Roman Rite. So you will just need to switch rites. Which is fine.
Its more of branches than separate Catholic churches. Also the married thing. Your wrong. No Catholic priest, eastern, Anglican or otherwise can become married at any point. I should know this. I'm Catholic myself
I should point out that a man must be married first before any ordination. Once ordained, if unmarried, they must be celibate. But if already married, they need not be celibate.
I get most people don’t enjoy being wrong. It must be the new normal to call people names after they are presented with evidence that they made a factually incorrect claim when trying to correct someone who was right in the first place.
It is important to actually know what you are talking about when you try to correct someone. A Rite is a liturgical patrimony. There are 14 autonomous churches that follow the Byzantine (Constantinopolitan) Rite. There are in fact 23 (24 now) sui iuris (autonomous) churches in the ONE CATHOLIC CHURCH. The 24 churches are autonomous, self governing and have their own self elected Patriarchs, Metropolitans, etc. The sui iuris churches are united in communion (meaning they recognize each other's sacraments as valid) and as a whole (all churches in communion) make up One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. The Pope is the Patriarch of the Latin (Roman) Church is considered to be “first among equals” (kinda acts like a referee if there is a dispute during the self governing process). The Pope often confirms the elected heads of each of the other individual sui iuris churches. You might want to check out the Code of Cannons of the Eastern Churches for more background information.
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)!
@Valentin Preda "There's no clear evidence that Christ appointed Peter as his steward". This is false and this false belief is caused by a lack of theology and hermeneutics knowledge... which is understandable since you aren't a theology student. We know that Peter is steward because of the parallel between the Gospel of Matthew and Isaiah, and because Peter is called "the chief" when the apostles are listed, and because Jesus ordered Peter to be Shepard (To lead or to rule) and to tend and feed (teach and sanctify) His flock (The Church). Also you have Jesus praying for Peter's faith and asking him to confirm his brethren in the faith, all of these in the context of the apostles discussing who was the greatest. This is in the Gospels. Peter died in Rome and was bishop of Rome because he wrote his letter from Babylon, which means Rome for the early christians, and the Church Fathers wrote that Peter was the head of the Church of Rome. I can put the exact passages and documents if you want but that would take longer. I'm not trying to be rude. My English is just weird because is not my native tongue.
@Lea Plaza Music I'm studying History at my University and I'm just saying what my professor taught us. In fact, she isn't even a religious person, she is actually against the Orthodox Church and in favour of the Catholic Church, but she still felt the need to point out these facts that I've written down. I didn't get into Theology, and nor do I plan to, since I am not a theologian, but a mere student historian. And even historically, there is no clear evidence in the Bible of Christ appointing Peter as His steward. There is also no historical evidence of Peter actually being a bishop in Rome. We know he was killed in Rome, but of him being bishop of Rome we know nothing for certain. If you do have a source to that, please share it, maybe I've missed it. Besides, between two people of different denomination that both hold strongly to their denomination's teachings, all there can be is pointless debate. I'm not trying to imply anything, but this is the situation.
@Valentin Preda to say that the eastern orthodox added nothing new and implying that papal supremacy is an hetherodox teaching as if this were facts is quite bias... Christ founded a Church. This Church is called catholic because of her universality. She is also called one because of the unity commanded by the Word of God. She is called holy because of the nature of the founder, and also apostolic because her members are sent to the world to spread the good news. Alongside with this names the Church is called "Roman" because the definite See chosen by the Steward of the King, appointed by Jesus Christ the King himself, the apostle Peter, was the See of Rome. The Church have existed with the "Roman" attribute since Peter decided to stay there as bishop, unless he wasn't truly appointed as Steward of Christ the King.
I didn't mention the dogmas part to discard one side or the other, just to point out where the differences started appearing and how they have evolved in time.
@Lea Plaza Music True, but I'm not talking about the term, I am talking about the institution, the Roman Catholic Church. There was no "Roman Catholic Church" before the Schism, since both West and East were united in one Church, the original Christian Church, which had as official teachings the dogmas from the Seven Holy Councils. After the break, the Western Church also gave official status to their own teachings - Filioque and papal supremacy (which started flourishing unofficially in the West since the 6th century or so). The Eastern Church on the other hand added nothing new to its teachings for the following millennia, keeping only what had been stated as official dogma at the Seven Councils I mentioned above.
I tried to become the Pope of the Catholic church, but ended up the Pope of the Coptic church in Cairo. Not the Catholic Coptic church in Egypt, the independent one. Really could have used these notes.
