In this video, Mike Gendron, an ex-Catholic, visits Revolve to give a seminar that exposes the twisted, unbiblical, and outright satanic teachings of the Catholic Church that most people are completely unaware of. If you’d like to learn more about Mike, please visit his ministry’s website: https://www.proclaimingthegospel.org

There are problems with most religions.
Having fights between them is one of the many.
The biggest problem right now with the Catholic Church is their communist leader.
Did you watch the video or are you just offended by criticism in general?
Bless your heart.
I actually would be very interested to hear the Catholic response to the issues he raises instead of a blanket declaration of "I am offended."
Jim Robinson—”No f-bombs. No c-words, no sh-words, etc. Not even masked.”
One man does not pay another man for forgiveness of sins.
So there’s that.
You could probably just save yourself some time and read the Youtube comments. You’ll run the whole gamut of Catholics and non-Catholics who are either enthusiastically endorsing or critically reaming Mike Gendron, with every other type of opinion in between.
(Though, to be fair, the mere fact Gendron is an ex-Catholic doesn’t inherently make his opinion about Catholicism more or less trustworthy, any more than the opinion of a convert from a Protestant denomination to Catholicism makes their opinion about Protestantism more or less reliable.)
True. But the fact that he is an ex-Catholic does make his opinion more trustworthy than that of a non-Catholic (see above for some of those).
That will cut the time down considerably.
After all, there are quite a few people who once worked in the Trump Administration that are virulently anti-Trump; does their experience working in his Administration make their opinion more reliable? Or could they be perhaps motivated by other factors (such as monetary ones)?
I am an ex Catholic. They still have a pedo problem.
I’ve found a Baptist church with a brilliant pastor.
I’m happy in the Lord.
An ex-catholic is someone who completely missed the understanding of the faith. So you’re going to listen to his misunderstanding to understand?
A bad catholic is anyone but the sinless Jedus and his mother.
Offense is the feelers issue(choice) if truth (or fact) is being said.
Grew up catholic, drifted, came to realize every denom is off track in one way or other. I now can attend most any bible/Jesus based place and find parts of gospel. The challenge for all of us to seek Him more than any type of demon or church leader, since you are correct we all mess up at times.
Not necessarily or even likely. Those who are an ex-anything and go to the trouble of making a youtube video explaining why are often trying to justify a decision they subconsciously (or consciously) feel guilty about. I would be more likely to trust a neutral 3rd party (assuming they are well informed) who can look at the issues without the personal baggage. This is especially true in the Church today where Catholics are exposed to so many heretical priests and bishops spouting modernist drivel.
“ex-Catholic“
Here is where the video producer loses his Catholic audience
Anyone with the minimum knowledge of Catholicism is aware that there is no such possibility
Anyone who has received the sacraments is never an ex-Catholic. Anyone who has not received the sacraments was never Catholic
The video is based on a lie
