Dr. Scott Hahn Discusses the Forerunners of the Protestant Reformation

Has anyone seen Steve ray? He is a very good speaker of the Catholic Church just like scott hanh coverts to the home of the church ⛪

Bride-mysticism is a master key to fall into love with Jesus Christ
And with all respects to your teachings ...

---- you are far away from the sacred teachings of St. Paul for what
the mosaic LAW was made for !

IT WAS MADE FOR A REASON - FOR ONE REASON ! AND IT HAS TO DO WITH
THE GLORYFICATION OF THE LAMB AND
THE HOLYNESS OF THE ONE

- ALLMIGHTY - THAT IS ALONE WORTHY .....

And that, my children, is how we got postmodernism. Can the genie ever get back into the bottle? Only God knows.

Excellent.

Any Christian interested in Western history, in its culture, in its soul, and looking for answers to what is sorely lacking in the West today, sooner or later ends up taking Catholicism as the obvious choice.

"Humanism, in Mr. Foerster's sense, has one very wise and worthy character. It is really trying to pick up the pieces; that is, to pick up all the pieces. All that was done before was first blind destruction and then random and scrappy selection; as if boys had broken up a stained-glass window and then made a few scraps into coloured spectacles, the rose-coloured spectacles of the republican or the green or yellow spectacles of the pessimist and the decadent. But Humanism as here professed will stoop to gather all it can; for instance, it is great enough to stoop and pick up the jewel of humility. Mr. Foerster does understand, as the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries did not understand, the case for humility. Matthew Arnold, who made something of the same stand for what he called Culture in the mid-nineteenth century, attempted something of the same preservation of chastity; which he would call, in a rather irritating manner, "pureness." But before we call either Culture or Humanism a substitute for religion, there is a very plain question that can be asked in the form of a very homely metaphor. Humanism may try to pick up the pieces; but can it stick them together? Where is the cement which made religion corporate and popular, which can prevent it falling to pieces in a debris of individualistic tastes and degrees? What is to prevent one Humanist wanting chastity without humility, and another humility without chastity, and another truth or beauty without either? The problem of an enduring ethic and culture consists in finding an arrangement of the pieces by which they remain related, as do the stones arranged in an arch. And I know only one scheme that has thus proved its solidity, bestriding lands and ages with its gigantic arches, and carrying everywhere the high river of baptism upon an aqueduct of Rome." - The Thing: Why I am a Catholic, G.K. Chesterton

I'm praying hard that you will remain a faithful Catholic for you are a big help to us catholics who are ignorant about the history of the church and its dogmas. Your speeches enlightened and strengthened our faith in GOD and in the universal church that is the repository of the holy sacraments, of factual and biblical dogmas and the way to eternal life. May the Almighty GOD bless you with vast divine wisdom and guidance that you may be able to continue propagating God's holy words of eternal life. GOD bless you always and your entire family.

How about the Waldensians, John Wycliffe and Jan Hus instead? Marsilio of Padua, Occam and Machiavelli are really not connected to the Reformation.

This is a treasure. I love Dr. Hann. He is an inspiration.

Thank you very much.

He's right. The professional class doesn't like something this tidy but history will go his way on this.

My oh my!!! Brilliant and eye opening. Thank God for the Fatherhood and professors like Dr. Scott H.
Wow!

Such a gifted teacher!

What about the scandals of the Catholic Church at the time? The churches failures had a direct effect on the reasons behind the reformation. I am a proud Catholic but I don’t understand how this was ignored by scott

Thank u Dr. Hann. I learn so much.

Wow I like the speech 👍👍

Facts.

This was an excellent presentation
Thank you Scott for this furthermore
I am personally starting my own personal research in protestantism
God bless you all ✝️❤️🙏

OUTRAGEOUS LIES!

Christ didn't say you are PETRA and on you
I'll build my church, he also didn't say you are PETRA and on you, Petra, I'll build....

CHRIST purposely and deliberately said Petros
The language, nor the grammar fit what Catholicism claims, nor the TRUTH warrant THE Catholic teaching.

PETROS, a MASCULINE Greek word for stone or pebble or small piece of something larger as shown below

Pétros (a masculine noun) – properly, a stone (pebble), such as a small rock found along a pathway. 4074 /Pétros ("small stone") STANDS in DIRECT CONTRAST to 4073 /pétra ("cliff, boulder," 
 (Pétros) always means a stone . . . such as a man may throw, . . . 

Also, There are profound metaphors of God as feminine in the Hebrew Old Testament.
On occasion this poetic imagery is allegorized literally as female; most often the feminine appears in the Hebrew Bible in metaphor and allegory, as in Deuteronomy 32 verse 18 where God, here named Eloah, gives birth to Israel in groaning and travail as of a woman giving birth.

 In later Jewish writings in the midrashim, or stories, the Shekhinah, or Divine Presence, is depicted literally in female form.

Christ is the one who birthed HIS OWN CHURCH and CHRIST IS THE ROCK WHOM it is built from and on, NOT Peter

It's BLASPHEMY for the CATHOLIC CHURCH to use Peter this way, since the obvious "false" understanding is a direct violation of GOD'S WORD!

They ignore the dark history of Catholics dogma's against the Jews and heretics or the claims of outside the mother church no salvation. Or the persecutions of Anabaptists against baby baptism. Wolves in sheep's clothing. Vatican 2 is controversial against Vatican 1 and the syllabus of errors. They ignore that. Now its with the hiding of pedophilic priests and nuns.

That is why I use to say that the sola scriptura is not only unbiblical but also a satanic cult invented by a devil possessed antisemitic man.

Thank you, Dr Scott. You are an inspiration for many.

Hm, I question the statement on faith being needed for reason in this video. It’s effectively just saying we have to take things for granted in order to take more things for granted, just in a way that sounds more convincing. If we can’t be absolutely sure, why should we just blindly suppose we can be sure? Our subjective need to rationalize does not mean the universe has to follow our whims.

If we cannot make ourselves by our own efforts get to Heaven, then Calvin was correct in his predestination heresy; so thus Augustine was a heretic in his stance against man's efforts in cooperation with Christ.

So we'd be very wise indeed to think of Christ Jesus as one of the earliest and the Founder of the idea of being an Intellectual Revolutionary; His ideas only really were proven post His death- and if you deny that He died, then you reject the Gospels.

Problem I'd have, and this's sheer human logic; is if someone would condemn a pope as a heretic, there's not going to be anything at all to protect the prince when he moves against him, or his ideas move against him, as they inevitably and rightly will move against all forms of authority; as power inevitably leads the powerful to commit tyranny, the only way for the common man, the only kind of man who matters: the lowest common denominator of mankind that is, to be safe is to eliminate every form of power above him.

Reality is that it is not at all any union between Church and State, but the two are diametrically opposed to eachother in all fields- any society at all that has had a state religion and hasn't repudiated it is going to ensure the death of that religion when the state is overthrown, as it inevitably will be overthrown.
We shall never have any monarch, we are finished with the mere idea of kings in this country, it is a republic, and always will be- if God happens to be out to impose His monarchy in this republic, His monarchy will be wiped out- we will never submit to any ruler to whom we haven't entrusted that say- as it is entirely right for us to do: to overthrow any ruler whom we haven't entrusted such say over our lives and our own work and the fruits thereof, and yes, this absolutely includes God. I'm not at all in trouble by this, but His agency, the Church, is for having insisted on His kingship.

Wow!

What a defence of the need for the papacy and the utter rebellion that would ensue without it

The date of this talk would be Oct 2005, based on the reference to Fr. Jenkins having become president of Notre Dame the prior month. Dr. Hahn looks a bit older these days (as do I)!!

Thank you Dr. Hahn for being an ardent defender of Catholic faith.

ideas had consequences since the ancient greek philosophers, the Daoist and Confucian and Buddhist teachings not only since the 13th century catholic mysticism

Praise God for his brilliant servant like you Dr Scott Hahn for your excellent presentation and teaching of Catholicism. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

Seven years later, this is still my favourite talk of all time.

It wasn't until I became Catholic that I realized that the things coming out of the "Age of Enlightenment" and the Renaissance were not necessarily good things as we'd always been taught.

I don’t know what to say: We need this kind of talk❤

Brilliant

Слава Иисусу Христу!

Thank you Dr. Hahn. It is clear that Nominalism is an heresy. It should be condemned if it wasn't already.

This is one of my favorite talks of all time. Thank you , Dr. Hahn.
