So why is it so hard for Protestants to reconcile with the Catholic Church? Listen, this is something that I've had to wrestle with for months now.

Now we're approaching almost a year of asking these questions, looking into the early church, looking into history, and realizing, wow, the early church looks nothing like the churches that I grew up with.

So in order for me to fully get there in my mind, you have to understand this was not a flighty decision.

It required a level of research and study and discernment and toiling that most people aren't really willing to do.

Main reason is because of so much anti-Catholic rhetoric that has been drilled into the minds of people in the evangelical and Protestant world.

But after these months and months of study, I realized that, hmm, Christians were Catholic.

And after the 1500s, when the Reformation came into play, things started to change.

People started splintering off and creating their own denominations with their own theology.

And now nobody can agree pretty much on anything in the Protestant world when it comes to true doctrine and true theology within Christianity.

So I heavily read the early church and it always pointed back to the Catholic church.

When I had these realizations and whenever I saw the facts, it was a very, very difficult thing to absorb.

So in this video, I will explain why it can be so hard for evangelicals or Protestants to come to terms with the fact that this was the original form of Christianity.
