I congratulate you but you’d do better not following this popesplainer & instead follow Dr Taylor Marshall, Kennedy Hall, Tim Flanders, Eric Sammons, Matt Gaspers, Timothy Gordon, etc…anyone but this guy or Michael Lofton, another popesplainer
I am also hoping to convert but I have to wait until the fall to begin the process. Praying the Rosary has had a profound effect on me. I deeply love Mary and Jesus in a way I can't even explain. May God bring us home. Sending you much love.
I am ex Protestant and for about 6 or 7 months I have been going to mass in the Catholic Church and it really helped become a better Christian by going to mass and by praying the Rosary everyday. My RCIA programme starts on the 15th of February the day after Ash Wednesday. I can't wait to be confirmed in 1 year :)
@@the_daily_catholic Actually many of them don't "dissent against the magisterium". That's kind of a strawman. There is actually a very serious problem right now between the magisterium in the past and the present magisterium that is probably going to take an ecumenical council to resolve. This is a lot more subtle than those who don't like it are "schismatic and bad". I'd encourage you to keep an open mind and not follow anyone too closely, but listen to what some of the so-called schismatics and dissenters have to say. Some of them make very good points, and many have nothing to do with the current problems in the magisterium. Cannonized saints have grappled with limits to papal authority, meaning that you don't have to try to establish a mental gymnastics hermeneutic of trying to square every strange thing Francis does and says with tradition in order to live a holy life. And I'm not telling you not to follow voice of reason and Lofton. They also have things of value to add. But understand everyone in every camp is likely to get some things wrong.
As ashamed as I am to admit, I’ve been a lukewarm Catholic all of my life but with the help of god I have found my faith again. I’ll be joining confirmation class this fall and I will continue to do my best to be the best follower of god I can be. Thank you voice of reason for the enlightening videos that have brought me closer to God.
Entering the Byzantine rite from Protestantism. Cannot wait to bathe in the wisdom of mother church while maintaining the beautify of the eastern tradition.
And in the last days , there will be a falling away from the truth, your fulfilling prophecy, you chose to reject Gods grace and want to establish your own righteousness, Well that will lead to Hell.
@@peterzinya1 Well its obvious you lack scriptural understanding, Jesus has but one church , it consists of born again believers throughout the world. The Holy Spirit has singled these seven, which 7 means completeness, but they are representative of the Church age. But then I must ask why are you distorting scripture are you trying to prove a point other then your complete rudeness.
This was awesome. Much needed straight answers. Father is the "Colonel Potter" of the priesthood. This is what the world, and Catholicism needs. Unapologetic, loving honesty. God bless you both!
@@DominiCanes94 Sabbath is no longer for us to keep, otherwise we would ruin the 6th commandments, which says: DO NOT KILL! Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: it is the sabbath or the 6th commandment. Cant have both. Souls, know and understand the bible as we all should: 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The 2 most important commandments for us to keep TODAY are: Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:39 “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” but you , the listeners of all these “religious lessons” all blind, devil gives out himself through the hand signs of masonry. You are still deceived by lucifer and his angelic look and having lack of knowledge about the truth. Time is passing away, the clock inside each of your chest are ticking. Drop religions, pick up BIBLE.
@@dragonf1092 Right along that He said to call no man Teacher. Do you use the word teacher? Do you actually, honestly, think that Christ was banning the word teacher there, or was there something deeper?

Please read this comment to its very end. - The issue is much much larger than just homosexuality. The ONLY BASIS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS THE BIBLE. So nothing that contradicts the Bible can be part of the Christian faith. The Catholic Church has always hidden the biblical faith (the truth) from the people. It has hidden the true Jesus and the true way of salvation. Dear Catholics, do not be deceived any more: The Catholic Church teaches salvation by works, i.e. redemption through one's own good works, baptism, affiliation with the Catholic Church, sacraments etc. and NOT BY JESUS ALONE. That is, it gives you the idea that if you don’t kill anybody, maybe go to church, do a few good works here and there and are more or less a nice person, you will go to heaven. The Bible says that all are sinners and on their way to an eternal hell in their natural state, and that salvation is NEVER by one’s own works or goodness. Salvation is by repentance (turning away from sin) and faith in Jesus alone. „In him [Jesus] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.“ Forgiveness of sins is based on Jesus‘ blood ALONE and it comes to you the moment you turn away from living for yourself and start living for Jesus (this is called „repentance“). The Catholic Church does not preach true repentance for the forgiveness of sins by putting Jesus first in all areas of life, but by doing works of penance for your sins. This is blasphemous because it means that you have to work off your guilt (which the Bible says you can’t) and denies that Jesus‘ sacrifice for sin was sufficient for all sins and for all times. Look at what the Bibles says: Hebrews 10:12-18 „But when this priest [Jesus] had offered FOR ALL TIME ONE SACRIFICE for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God … For by one sacrifice he [Jesus] has made perfect for ever those who are being made holy... And where these [the sins of mankind] have been forgiven, SACRIFICE FOR SIN IS NO LONGER NECESSARY.” Hebrews 7:27 „... He [Jesus] sacrificed for their sins ONCE FOR ALL when he offered himself.” Biblical repentance in contrast to Catholic “repentance” consists in turning away from (not just confessing) your sin and living for a risen Christ who is active in your life by the power of the Holy Spirit (not a dead Christ whom you receive only in the form of a wafer). The purpose of Jesus' death is that you live for HIM - for the true Jesus of the Bible, not for Mary nor for the imaginary and non-existing Jesus of the Catholic Church. See 2 Corinthians 5:15 - “He [Jesus] died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” Jesus says: "He who keeps my commandments, he it is who loves me." (John 14:21). His commandments are found in the Bible - and ONLY in the Bible. And yet the Catholic Church does not give its faithful the Bible, but an "adapted" interpretation of some selected Bible verses that mislead the people. I used to be Catholic, so I know what I am talking about. In the Bible, there is no salvation by works and/or sacraments, no pope, no infant baptism, no worship of Mary, no rosary, no imposed celibacy, no purgatory, no confessionals, no saints in the Catholic sense, no prayer for the dead, no transfiguration of the consecrated wafer in the Eucharist, no repetitive prayer, no bowing to graven images - it is even forbidden by God in the Ten Commandments - see Exodus 20:4-5: „You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God“. In the Bible, there is no Catholic liturgy, no holy garments or gestures (in the New Testament Church). Mary is not a mediator between God and man, because the Bible says: "There is ONE mediator between God and man: the man Jesus Christ" (1 Timothy 2:5). All these things are inventions of the Catholic Church and clearly contradict the Word of God. The Catholic Church is NOT a Christian church, but conveys to the people a pagan concept of God, as if God could be manipulated by the same rituals over and over again (and as if He did not solely look at the heart - see 1 Samuel 16:7). The Catholic Church was not the first church. It was formed 300 years after Jesus’ resurrection. The pedophile and financial scandals caused by Catholic priests are just the tip of the iceberg. It is all far worse. I repeat: The Catholic Church is NOT A CHRISTIAN CHURCH. It is a pagan religion using Christian words and biblical references to cheat people out of their salvation. Mary was a sinner, because she calls God her „Savior“ (Luke 1:47). She did not ascend into heaven. She cannot hear and answer prayer, because she is dead. Apparitions of Mary are demonic deceptions. They have an appearance of goodness and holiness and some things this fake “Mary” says are true (you have to give people a bait they can believe so that they will swallow all the other wrong theology (lies) that comes with the false prophecy). READ THE BIBLE and you will find out. Start with the New Testament. Run from the Catholic Church, if you want to really please God and find salvation. Only Jesus Himself saves. Go find a truly Bible-believing Christian who can tell you more. Your eternal destiny is at stake. See also czcams.com/video/rLFytU4HqxA/video.html czcams.com/video/diKgDVGQmSs/video.html

Everyday I am excited to listen to the person handling this podcast. He is great . Veryw ell- informed like Trent Horn, Keith Nester and many other catholics and converts . Thank you O Lord for having you as Christ's defender
I was born and grow up as Roman Catholic. But sometimes I go to Syro Malabar rite church. I didn't realise there is a purpose that choir placed at the back. I thought it was because there were no space at front side of the church. In Roman rite churches, choir almost always is at one side of the church where (if you imagine the shape of the building is a cross) in one of the arms of the cross. Either left or right of the altar.
I love your relationship with one another and how much respect you give him. I am a former Protestant, utterly convinced by the Catholic Church and in the Albuquerque area. I’m going to come visit your Parish one of these days! God bless you and yours!

Luisa Piccarreta. The Divine Will. Amazing! Sister Faustina and the "Divine Mercy Chaplet ". Pray everyday, Divine Mercy Chaplet starts every Good Friday for 9 days. I suggest learn as much as you can about these. Also "Miraculous Metal " God Bless!
I don’t think Jesus would care if someone clapped. Expressing our love for Jesus is different from every believers and in psalm 47 it tells us to clap our hands and to sing praises for God
I fully agree with Father that the Catholics and the Orthodox should make amends. Even if they don’t reconnect. I have a deep love for both of these religions.
Gidday. I have been a Christian for 41 years. I was baptised at 10 after my atheist Dad passed away and my Mum and older sister became Christians. I also went to a Catholic high school. After searching for decades for a home Church, I was finally confirmed as an Anglican in my late 30’s. Our liturgies follow the same pattern as mass. The entire service is focussed on the Eucharist. I was also a member of the choir. During the Eucharist, I would join them and sing a hymn while the Christians lined up for the bread and wine. We took the Eucharist first. The focus was never upon us because everyone was ready to receive. We never sang during the Eucharist ceremony. All attention was on the altar. However, the beginning and end of the service had everyone bursting out into loud praise and singing. If you want to raise your hands or clap, do it. Sing with all your heart. God deserves our worship and praise. That said, the Eucharist is always a quiet and solemn centre of the service. My memories of the Catholic services is that they really need to include good hymns and worship songs because their music really didn’t bring the glory that it should have. However, don’t play the music during the Eucharist. Play it before and after and get everyone singing praise. Another thing I love about liturgical church is the scripture readings. Unlike modern churches, they don’t tell you how to interpret the scriptures. They just read the bible and allow you to meditate upon it. Sure, the priest may give a sermon based on scripture, but they are not using it to prove their point. And yes, I also read the scriptures during services. In older churches, you can sit, stand or kneel. Modern churches don’t get that.
Sorry, you do not have a consecrated Eucharist. It is just ordinary bread and wine. Only in the Catholic Church is the Real Presence: Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus. Remember, Jesus said this: John 6:53-56 vs 53 *"no life in you",* vs 55 * "no eternal salvation for you",* vs 56 *"Jesus does not abide (reside) in you".* Jesus's words! Only in the Catholic Church with an ordained Priest/Bishop. No other denominations.
thank you for this video!! the 2 questions i asked were answered :) the question about the female pope was mine i think - i asked because one of my professors (who isn't catholic anymore but sort of believes in "something") had said this once and it confused me of course. Thank you for your answers. God bless!

Dear@@protestant77, we are living in the Messianic Times. jThe Temple is gone. The sacrifices of lambs and bulls and goats are ended. Jesus has fulfilled all of the Torah, and we are living in the New Creation -- which is celebrated on the First Day of the Week! You are mis-reading the Word! Check out the Scriptures on the Feast of Tabernacles, which is a fore-shadowing of the Messianic Days.
Dear@@protestant77, I didn't ask if you "keep the feast days." I was pointing out that the fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles is to move the Sabbath Day to the first day of the week. You don't think the first Christians thought that up on their own? They were followers of Jesus. He was the Author of the change, as He is the Messiah, King of Kings and Lord of Lords! The Apostle John mentions "the Lord's Day" as the first day of the week in "Revelation." Because the Messiah is Lord of the Sabbath. In rejecting the Church Jesus loved and died for (see Ephesians 5:25), you also miss out on His continuing Presence in the world. And that is the real sad thing about keeping on protesting against the Church.
@@susand3668 Revelation 1:10 = (The Lord’s Day) NOWHERE in scripture is 👆this referencing the first day of the week! THE LORD’S DAY = 7th day Sabbath 👆I can prove this through scripture, unlike 🫵YOU!
I believe one of the early church fathers said that St. Peter did not remarry after his wife died. I could be wrong but I'm sure I read this in book one of the earliest fathers. Just found your site Voice of Reason. Thank you so much Fr. Zuggers for your clear and concise answers! I wish you had been there for my second daughter. She left the church because she said the priest could not answer questions she had. She is an atheist living with her atheist boyfriend. I pray for her I hope you can remember her(Cecilia) in your masses. God bless both you gentleman.
I’m about 5 hours away from his Parish. I want to visit someday! I was an adult before I even knew the other rites existed outside the Roman rite and I love the beautiful traditions found in all of the rites of the Catholic Church.
Some years ago I read a book by a Methodist about the Rosary. I do not remember the author's name but the title of the book was Five for Sorrow, Ten for Joy. It was written before the Luminous Mysteries were added.
The Methodist minister who wrote about the rosary is Edward J. Hayes. He authored the book "The Rosary: A Path into Prayer," which explores the rosary as a spiritual practice that can be meaningful across various Christian traditions, including Protestantism. This work reflects an ecumenical approach to the rosary, highlighting its potential for deepening prayer life regardless of denominational boundaries.
I'm also Catholic and I live in Ireland and I've thankfully never seen a band playing on Sunday. Our worship is liturgical so while we do have music it is supposed to accompany the mass but not become the main attraction like in Mega Churches.
A Roman rite church I attended growing up had a group of 3 or four guitarists and a bassist who would sing in lieu of the choir - but it was always the same songs as the choir.
@@aftereverything1769 well depends what u mean. In my church there is an organ (musical instrument) and like 10 people singing on the second floor in tue back of the church. But like im talking about band like guitars, piano, violin and things like that
Thanks to Father Chris, his online ministry has helped strengthen and deepen my faith. Thank God for the true servants of God at OLoPH! Good bless them.

I’m so glad the last question was asked and correctly answered. The Mass is about worshipping God. Reverently might I add. Not to ‘enjoy the show’. I was in a church in westchester County NY of the same name as your parish and was disgusted by one of their Sunday Mass services. Granted it was a special occasion. But it was special to one of the clergy. And the whole Mass seemed to honor him and not the Lord. People clapped at the performance which would be appropriate if it were in any other setting. They really did do a good job. But IMHO they should have had the Mass be the Mass and invite parishioners elsewhere for a musical show.
I don’t think Jesus would care if someone clapped. Expressing our love for Jesus is different from every believers and in psalm 47 it tells us to clap our hands and to sing praises for God. To say to not enjoy worshiping our Lord is a little weird to me. Do you enjoy anything on this earth? And if you do how can we not enjoy our Lord.
@@datboiron2549 I enjoy a great many things. You’re missing the point. I think the performance was wonderful. I just think it should not have taken place during Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
May God bless you for the work you do to save people and God also bless Father. I wish I was in the USA so that I could visit this beautiful Byzantine Catholic Church.
Question regarding the first answer. I’m a working people. But I work every other weekend. So I go on Wednesdays instead when I’m free from work. But that’s technically not fulfilling the obligation. Why not?
I work shift work and am working today which is a Sunday. The Church understands that you have to work and allows for that. However if you are working Sunday and you are free you should get Saturday vigil mass.
@@jaqianunfortunately for me, I work Saturday too. And Easter. And Christmas. I just found it a bit strange to say Sundays is the day because most people are free. I don’t think that’s the reason it’s obligatory to attend mass on Sundays.. It’s more the other way around. Most people are free on Sundays because they are supposed to go to church. 😅
If you have actual work on Sunday, it's not a problem. However, if you purposely asked to work on a Sunday to avoid going to mass or do anything else besides attending mass ,that is the problem .Because God rested on a Sunday.But again, if you are not giving the option to rest on a Sunday,God will understand.
I'm sure it's a beautiful rite. But I?m also sure you find beautiful masses where you're home? I would pray for guidance. But often God wants us to be active where we are, eveh if there is a lot of cleaning up to do
The question on the saints in heaven hearing us. We have a direct line to the God the Father in and directly through Jesus Christ, why on earth is there any need to go through any other intermediary? Having your brethren here on earth lift up their voices in union with yours to the Father is one thing. But this action of expecting that the saints in heaven have a more direct access to the Eternal Holy Creator God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) demeans what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for each us by being the Saviour and giving us personal direct access to the Father for our petitions, our worship and praise and our direct communion with the Perfect Magnificent Hoyl God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
@@jdlee1972 [Straw man] fallacy in your response. I said pray with you, not for you. That is an enormous difference right there, which far too many people miss, just as you did.
Rev 5 :8-12 ➨ INTERCESSION of the SAINTS: REV 5 v 8... 8... When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. 9 They sang a new hymn: "Worthy are you to receive the scroll and to break open its seals, for you were slain and with your blood you purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue, people and nation. Only an Omniscient God can understand all the languages of all nations Nations..John Is a creature and Cant. Only an Omniscient God. 13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, everything in the universe, cry out: "To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever."Now John HERD ALL THIS all those languages of the earth. How did He hear all those Languages and understand them . God Had to have made it possible for John why couldn’t he do that for those in Heaven as well.. So why cant Mary and the saints hear since they have an Omniscient God to Make things Know to them the saints don’t have to Be Omniscient. God gave them that ability. What are , the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders doing with . Those Prayers in their hands the prayers of the holy ones.Why did God give those Prays to them to Give them to Him 9When he broke open the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar 8 the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the witness they bore to the word of God.10 cried out in a loud voice, "How long will it be, holy and true master, 9 before you sit in judgment and avenge our blood on the inhabitants of the earth?"11Each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to be patient a little while longer until the number was filled of their fellow servants and brothers who were going to be killed as they had been. This Makes It Know to those Saints In Heaven That God would avenge the saints On earth at a Further tine The lord can Make know to those in heaven what happens on earth at a future time They are Now aware of thing going on Now do you think since they pray to the Lord they would not be praying to the Lord for their Brothers and Sisters of their fellow servants and brothers who were going to be killed as they had been to preserve them as the others had been . What act of Love are Christians told to do for one another Pray for one another Rev18: 19-24 What’s the reaction to those in heaven… To the destruction Of Babylon On earth if they aren’t made aware of what’s happening on earth. God made them aware giving Biblical proof that The Saints can be made aware of what’s taking place on Earth. They must have seen it Because allowed them to see it. Mathew 18:6-7 Do not harm little children because God loves them as well as Babes in the Faith Physically or spiritually. . 6But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Why does he say this “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. What does that mean the Angles are assigned to these children to watch over them and pray for them. They go before the father and Intercede for them . How do Angles know what is taking place on earth Angles are not Omniscient God thru the Holy Sprit reveals it to them they don’t have to be Omniscient. Luke 15:7 I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance. How can People in heaven rejoice over someone coming to repentance? If they’re not aware of their repentance. Now since Mary and the Saints are In heaven are they aware of their repentance and rejoice. Those in Heaven must be aware of what’s happening on Earth. Luke 15:10 In just the same way, I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Those in Heaven must be aware of what’s happening on Earth i 8 2 14 The four living creatures answered, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped. 10 You made them a kingdom and priests for our God, and they will reign on earth." 11 I looked again and heard the voices of many angels who surrounded the throne and the living creatures and the elders. They were countless 5 in number, 12 and they cried out in a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory and blessing."
Thank you, it was so interesting and helpful. I liked the question about the patriarcs and prophets from the OT. I pray to them of course. We read about their lives, they are awesome like the apostles and saints. We can also say their beautiful prayers. They knew the Lord was coming, we know the Lord has come.
@@Colinjones76 no, that's what Exodus 20:4-6 shows and proves. your 'church' still makes and bows to statues, idols and even body parts. i know well, i did for 35 yrs as a catholic, sadly. your 'church' is also a day late -- the Lord's day is still and forever will be the 7th day Sabbath so if you all didn't keep today Holy, attend service and honor Him -- then you're not following Ex 20:8-11. it's not brain science 'bruh'.
Yes our greatest hope for the orthodoxy and the catholic to reunite again, can’t wait for that movement to be happen. We have to pray and fast to the triune God for his power to make his body to become one🙌🙏❤️
With all due respect the Sabbath is what Father is referring to in the Ten Commandments. It does not say the Lord's Day. That is Sunday, the day Jesus was ressurescted. We gather to honor and experience again that Ressurection power on Sunday in the celebration of the Eucharist. The Life of Christ. In us! ❤
My question is as a child I was baptized in a Catholic Church and was at a Catholic school up until thirds grade. However, as a teen I got pressured to get baptized in a Protestant church, but now I’m back at a Catholic Church. Can I receive communion?
Baptism is a sacrament, God sharing His life with you. It is within you forever. The Protestants went through a ceremony, but it wasn't Baptism. Make an appointment and talk with the priest. It will be very simple for him to answer all your questions. He will be happy to welcome you back.
Second baptism was a sacrilege, a sin. You need confession before receiving communion. Be sure you hear the words from the Priest "that He absolved you of your sins by the power given to him by Our Lord Jesus Christ." MOST PRIESTS DO NOT FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS ANYMORE. BE VIGILANT!!!!!
You are right about the requirement for confession at least once a year. Perhaps something happened as you said. God knows the person and will judge accordingly. We will leave it to Him.
I’m an ex Lutheran and will be joining the Catholic Church with my brothers and sisters this Easter vigil 😌❤️
I congratulate you but you’d do better not following this popesplainer & instead follow Dr Taylor Marshall, Kennedy Hall, Tim Flanders, Eric Sammons, Matt Gaspers, Timothy Gordon, etc…anyone but this guy or Michael Lofton, another popesplainer

I pray the Rosary every day. I’m converting, but am still a Protestant.
Praying for your journey ❤
You have already converted in your heart! That's beautiful man, I'm in Catechism classes right now myself
You're Catholic in spirit
I am also hoping to convert but I have to wait until the fall to begin the process. Praying the Rosary has had a profound effect on me. I deeply love Mary and Jesus in a way I can't even explain. May God bring us home. Sending you much love.

I am ex Protestant and for about 6 or 7 months I have been going to mass in the Catholic Church and it really helped become a better Christian by going to mass and by praying the Rosary everyday.

Actually many of them don't "dissent against the magisterium".
That's kind of a strawman.
There is actually a very serious problem right now between the magisterium in the past and the present magisterium that is probably going to take an ecumenical council to resolve.
This is a lot more subtle than those who don't like it are "schismatic and bad".
I'd encourage you to keep an open mind and not follow anyone too closely, but listen to what some of the so-called schismatics and dissenters have to say. Some of them make very good points, and many have nothing to do with the current problems in the magisterium.
Cannonized saints have grappled with limits to papal authority, meaning that you don't have to try to establish a mental gymnastics hermeneutic of trying to square every strange thing Francis does and says with tradition in order to live a holy life.
And I'm not telling you not to follow voice of reason and Lofton. They also have things of value to add. But understand everyone in every camp is likely to get some things wrong.
God Bless my friend!
So happy for you ❤
Congratulations we love you
As ashamed as I am to admit, I’ve been a lukewarm Catholic all of my life but with the help of god I have found my faith again. I’ll be joining confirmation class this fall and I will continue to do my best to be the best follower of god I can be. Thank you voice of reason for the enlightening videos that have brought me closer to God.
Once you go through this, you just want more. Take OCIA classes, bible studies, and take them again later on.

@@DominiCanes94 Sabbath is no longer for us to keep, otherwise we would ruin the 6th commandments, which says: DO NOT KILL!
Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
it is the sabbath or the 6th commandment. Cant have both.
Souls, know and understand the bible as we all should:
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
The 2 most important commandments for us to keep TODAY are:
Matthew 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22:39
“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”

You are still deceived by lucifer and his angelic look and having lack of knowledge about the truth.

Do you use the word teacher? Do you actually, honestly, think that Christ was banning the word teacher there, or was there something deeper?

Please read this comment to its very end. - The issue is much much larger than just homosexuality. The ONLY BASIS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS THE BIBLE. So nothing that contradicts the Bible can be part of the Christian faith. The Catholic Church has always hidden the biblical faith (the truth) from the people. It has hidden the true Jesus and the true way of salvation. Dear Catholics, do not be deceived any more: The Catholic Church teaches salvation by works, i.e. redemption through one's own good works, baptism, affiliation with the Catholic Church, sacraments etc. and NOT BY JESUS ALONE. That is, it gives you the idea that if you don’t kill anybody, maybe go to church, do a few good works here and there and are more or less a nice person, you will go to heaven. The Bible says that all are sinners and on their way to an eternal hell in their natural state, and that salvation is NEVER by one’s own works or goodness. Salvation is by repentance (turning away from sin) and faith in Jesus alone. „In him [Jesus] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.“ Forgiveness of sins is based on Jesus‘ blood ALONE and it comes to you the moment you turn away from living for yourself and start living for Jesus (this is called „repentance“). The Catholic Church does not preach true repentance for the forgiveness of sins by putting Jesus first in all areas of life, but by doing works of penance for your sins. This is blasphemous because it means that you have to work off your guilt (which the Bible says you can’t) and denies that Jesus‘ sacrifice for sin was sufficient for all sins and for all times. Look at what the Bibles says: Hebrews 10:12-18 „But when this priest [Jesus] had offered FOR ALL TIME ONE SACRIFICE for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God … For by one sacrifice he [Jesus] has made perfect for ever those who are being made holy... And where these [the sins of mankind] have been forgiven, SACRIFICE FOR SIN IS NO LONGER NECESSARY.” Hebrews 7:27 „... He [Jesus] sacrificed for their sins ONCE FOR ALL when he offered himself.”
Biblical repentance in contrast to Catholic “repentance” consists in turning away from (not just confessing) your sin and living for a risen Christ who is active in your life by the power of the Holy Spirit (not a dead Christ whom you receive only in the form of a wafer). The purpose of Jesus' death is that you live for HIM - for the true Jesus of the Bible, not for Mary nor for the imaginary and non-existing Jesus of the Catholic Church. See 2 Corinthians 5:15 - “He [Jesus] died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” Jesus says: "He who keeps my commandments, he it is who loves me." (John 14:21). His commandments are found in the Bible - and ONLY in the Bible. And yet the Catholic Church does not give its faithful the Bible, but an "adapted" interpretation of some selected Bible verses that mislead the people. I used to be Catholic, so I know what I am talking about. In the Bible, there is no salvation by works and/or sacraments, no pope, no infant baptism, no worship of Mary, no rosary, no imposed celibacy, no purgatory, no confessionals, no saints in the Catholic sense, no prayer for the dead, no transfiguration of the consecrated wafer in the Eucharist, no repetitive prayer, no bowing to graven images - it is even forbidden by God in the Ten Commandments - see Exodus 20:4-5: „You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God“. In the Bible, there is no Catholic liturgy, no holy garments or gestures (in the New Testament Church). Mary is not a mediator between God and man, because the Bible says: "There is ONE mediator between God and man: the man Jesus Christ" (1 Timothy 2:5). All these things are inventions of the Catholic Church and clearly contradict the Word of God. The Catholic Church is NOT a Christian church, but conveys to the people a pagan concept of God, as if God could be manipulated by the same rituals over and over again (and as if He did not solely look at the heart - see 1 Samuel 16:7). The Catholic Church was not the first church. It was formed 300 years after Jesus’ resurrection. The pedophile and financial scandals caused by Catholic priests are just the tip of the iceberg. It is all far worse. I repeat: The Catholic Church is NOT A CHRISTIAN CHURCH. It is a pagan religion using Christian words and biblical references to cheat people out of their salvation. Mary was a sinner, because she calls God her „Savior“ (Luke 1:47). She did not ascend into heaven. She cannot hear and answer prayer, because she is dead. Apparitions of Mary are demonic deceptions. They have an appearance of goodness and holiness and some things this fake “Mary” says are true (you have to give people a bait they can believe so that they will swallow all the other wrong theology (lies) that comes with the false prophecy). READ THE BIBLE and you will find out. Start with the New Testament. Run from the Catholic Church, if you want to really please God and find salvation. Only Jesus Himself saves. Go find a truly Bible-believing Christian who can tell you more. Your eternal destiny is at stake.

Receiving holy communion while in mortal sin without confession is sacrilegious
It's not sacrilegious, but it's not encouraged.
@@Lerian_Vyes it is?
No, it's definitely wrong.@@Lerian_V
@@DavidRodriguez-cm2qg No, it's not. Remember what happened during the 2020 lockdown?
@@Lerian_Vit’s a mortal sin. It’s not just discouraged
The answer to the last question was perfectly explained. Thank you so much. The Lord's peace be with you.
I don’t think Jesus would care if someone clapped. Expressing our love for Jesus is different from every believers and in psalm 47 it tells us to clap our hands and to sing praises for God
Love from Germany ❤
Always keep a positive attitude. We'll be praying for you.
I fully agree with Father that the Catholics and the Orthodox should make amends. Even if they don’t reconnect. I have a deep love for both of these religions.
I enjoyed this video. That being said, I thought you were doing a Rocky Balboa impression for the first few minutes. Hahaha
Gidday. I have been a Christian for 41 years. I was baptised at 10 after my atheist Dad passed away and my Mum and older sister became Christians. I also went to a Catholic high school.
After searching for decades for a home Church, I was finally confirmed as an Anglican in my late 30’s.
Our liturgies follow the same pattern as mass. The entire service is focussed on the Eucharist.
I was also a member of the choir. During the Eucharist, I would join them and sing a hymn while the Christians lined up for the bread and wine. We took the Eucharist first. The focus was never upon us because everyone was ready to receive.
We never sang during the Eucharist ceremony. All attention was on the altar.
However, the beginning and end of the service had everyone bursting out into loud praise and singing.
If you want to raise your hands or clap, do it. Sing with all your heart. God deserves our worship and praise.
That said, the Eucharist is always a quiet and solemn centre of the service.
My memories of the Catholic services is that they really need to include good hymns and worship songs because their music really didn’t bring the glory that it should have. However, don’t play the music during the Eucharist. Play it before and after and get everyone singing praise.
Another thing I love about liturgical church is the scripture readings. Unlike modern churches, they don’t tell you how to interpret the scriptures. They just read the bible and allow you to meditate upon it. Sure, the priest may give a sermon based on scripture, but they are not using it to prove their point. And yes, I also read the scriptures during services.
In older churches, you can sit, stand or kneel. Modern churches don’t get that.
Sorry, you do not have a consecrated Eucharist. It is just ordinary bread and wine. Only in the Catholic Church is the Real Presence: Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus. Remember, Jesus said this: John 6:53-56 vs 53 *"no life in you",* vs 55 * "no eternal salvation for you",* vs 56 *"Jesus does not abide (reside) in you".* Jesus's words! Only in the Catholic Church with an ordained Priest/Bishop. No other denominations.
This was great. Thank you for this!
I hear in this that humility is called for in working to become more united. That's radically true.
Bro, didnt know you were in Albuquerque! Shrine of Saint Bernadette represent. 😎
Much love ❤
I've been finding myself more invested in learning Pre-Vatican ll Latin Tradition and Mass as well as Catholic Apologetics.
thank you for this video!! the 2 questions i asked were answered :)
the question about the female pope was mine i think - i asked because one of my professors (who isn't catholic anymore but sort of believes in "something") had said this once and it confused me of course. Thank you for your answers. God bless!
Bro, your voice is so deep I thought you had playback slowed down until Father Chris came on. XD
Love everything about this. Definitely want to hear more !
JESUS says keep Sabbath holy!
POPE says keep Sunday holy!
“The Bible says remember that thou keep the Sabbath day. The Catholic Church says, 'NO!'. By my divine power, I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And, lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church." Father Enright, American Sentinal, June 1893.
The WORD teaches 7th day is holy!
The WORLD teaches 1st day is holy!
🤔WHO DO YOU OBEY?????
Dear@@protestant77, we are living in the Messianic Times. jThe Temple is gone. The sacrifices of lambs and bulls and goats are ended. Jesus has fulfilled all of the Torah, and we are living in the New Creation -- which is celebrated on the First Day of the Week! You are mis-reading the Word!
Check out the Scriptures on the Feast of Tabernacles, which is a fore-shadowing of the Messianic Days.
@@susand3668
I don’t keep the feast days, I understand the feast were fulfilled.
Christians should obey God’s Law
the 10 Commandments!
Dear@@protestant77, I didn't ask if you "keep the feast days." I was pointing out that the fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles is to move the Sabbath Day to the first day of the week.
You don't think the first Christians thought that up on their own? They were followers of Jesus. He was the Author of the change, as He is the Messiah, King of Kings and Lord of Lords! The Apostle John mentions "the Lord's Day" as the first day of the week in "Revelation." Because the Messiah is Lord of the Sabbath.
In rejecting the Church Jesus loved and died for (see Ephesians 5:25), you also miss out on His continuing Presence in the world. And that is the real sad thing about keeping on protesting against the Church.
@@susand3668
Revelation 1:10 = (The Lord’s Day)
NOWHERE in scripture is 👆this referencing the first day of the week!
THE LORD’S DAY = 7th day Sabbath
👆I can prove this through scripture, unlike 🫵YOU!
I believe one of the early church fathers said that St. Peter did not remarry after his wife died. I could be wrong but I'm sure I read this in book one of the earliest fathers. Just found your site Voice of Reason. Thank you so much Fr. Zuggers for your clear and concise answers! I wish you had been there for my second daughter. She left the church because she said the priest could not answer questions she had. She is an atheist living with her atheist boyfriend. I pray for her I hope you can remember her(Cecilia) in your masses. God bless both you gentleman.
Father is awesome!!
Come visit him sometime, brother! 🙏🏽
I will my brother.
I love this mans voice. Its so smooth and unique...😇
He sounds like Andre the Giant
His voice is awesome
I’m about 5 hours away from his Parish. I want to visit someday! I was an adult before I even knew the other rites existed outside the Roman rite and I love the beautiful traditions found in all of the rites of the Catholic Church.
Yes, our Diocese has ordered our parishes to send the choir to the back. Where we can only hear but not see.
Some years ago I read a book by a Methodist about the Rosary. I do not remember the author's name but the title of the book was Five for Sorrow, Ten for Joy. It was written before the Luminous Mysteries were added.
Great video , brilliant explanation Father.
Thank U priest of the Most High. For Ur. Evangelization. God Bless
Sorry, this is not very brutal. Father Zuggers is very gentle, wise and nice to listen to. Brutality failure!
God bless your work brother. All praise and glory to Jesus Christ. RC
This was really great! I enjoyed it so much! Thank you!
23:31 this part cracked me up 😂 the aggressiveness from you and then the camera switched to father shaking his head and smiling.
This is awesome. Thank you
The Methodist minister who wrote about the rosary is Edward J. Hayes. He authored the book "The Rosary: A Path into Prayer," which explores the rosary as a spiritual practice that can be meaningful across various Christian traditions, including Protestantism. This work reflects an ecumenical approach to the rosary, highlighting its potential for deepening prayer life regardless of denominational boundaries.
Loved this. God bless.
I used your voice to test my speakers lol. Great video
Thank you so much!
This priest is so iconic lol I love it!
From a roman Catholic. I have never saw a band playing during mass in roman Catholic church. So is that just the american thing or?
I'm also Catholic and I live in Ireland and I've thankfully never seen a band playing on Sunday. Our worship is liturgical so while we do have music it is supposed to accompany the mass but not become the main attraction like in Mega Churches.
It’s an irreverent thing. Sadly, I have, and I avoid those churches
A Roman rite church I attended growing up had a group of 3 or four guitarists and a bassist who would sing in lieu of the choir - but it was always the same songs as the choir.
I’ve been to a Catholic Church in the Philippines many times, and the church band is on the side or the upper back of the church, never the front.
@@aftereverything1769 well depends what u mean. In my church there is an organ (musical instrument) and like 10 people singing on the second floor in tue back of the church. But like im talking about band like guitars, piano, violin and things like that
Really enjoyed this! Looking forward to watching other videos of Father Chris 😊.
I love this channel just subbed
Thanks to Father Chris, his online ministry has helped strengthen and deepen my faith. Thank God for the true servants of God at OLoPH! Good bless them.
The Roman Catholic Church I go to here in Arizona has the choir in very back behind the altar 🙏

😃Sabbath in the New Testament!
JESUS kept the sabbath!
👉(Luke 4:16)
The Disciples kept the sabbath!
👉(Luke 23:56)
The Gentiles kept the sabbath!
👉(Acts 13:42)
Paul kept the sabbath!
👉(Acts 17:2)
Hebrews 4:4 = 7th day sabbath!
For if JESUS had given them rest,
then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
~ Hebrews 4:8 KJV
☝️Jesus never changed it!
There remaineth therefore a rest for the people of God.
~ Hebrews 4:9
☝️Remaineth = to remain the same!
For he that is entered into his His rest,
he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.
~ Hebrews 4:10
☝️
(Gen. 2:2,3) + (Exo. 20:10) = Heb. 4:10
I would like to share one Old Testament scripture with you.
😃We will all keep Sabbath in HEAVEN!
👉(Isaiah 66:23)
@protestant77 why do you talk like that? Anyways, the Lord's day is mentioned in revelations.
God bless these men! 🙏🏻
I’m so glad the last question was asked and correctly answered.
The Mass is about worshipping God. Reverently might I add. Not to ‘enjoy the show’.
I was in a church in westchester County NY of the same name as your parish and was disgusted by one of their Sunday Mass services. Granted it was a special occasion. But it was special to one of the clergy. And the whole Mass seemed to honor him and not the Lord. People clapped at the performance which would be appropriate if it were in any other setting. They really did do a good job. But IMHO they should have had the Mass be the Mass and invite parishioners elsewhere for a musical show.
Exactly!
Pagan practices and ceremonies.
I don’t think Jesus would care if someone clapped. Expressing our love for Jesus is different from every believers and in psalm 47 it tells us to clap our hands and to sing praises for God. To say to not enjoy worshiping our Lord is a little weird to me. Do you enjoy anything on this earth? And if you do how can we not enjoy our Lord.
@@datboiron2549 I enjoy a great many things. You’re missing the point. I think the performance was wonderful. I just think it should not have taken place during Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
@@XoScottXo psalm 150
Thank you to the host and Father. This was very interesting. It left me with a feeling that you have a close knit community in your church.
Nice,nice,nice!😂beautiful!
You truly need deliverance

May God bless you for the work you do to save people and God also bless Father. I wish I was in the USA so that I could visit this beautiful Byzantine Catholic Church.
Don't clap in mass, ever.
When I got confirmed last week afterwards everybody clapped
This channel will blow up. God bless you brother-in-Christ!
Question regarding the first answer. I’m a working people. But I work every other weekend. So I go on Wednesdays instead when I’m free from work. But that’s technically not fulfilling the obligation. Why not?
I work shift work and am working today which is a Sunday. The Church understands that you have to work and allows for that. However if you are working Sunday and you are free you should get Saturday vigil mass.
@@jaqianunfortunately for me, I work Saturday too. And Easter. And Christmas. I just found it a bit strange to say Sundays is the day because most people are free. I don’t think that’s the reason it’s obligatory to attend mass on Sundays.. It’s more the other way around. Most people are free on Sundays because they are supposed to go to church. 😅
If you have actual work on Sunday, it's not a problem. However, if you purposely asked to work on a Sunday to avoid going to mass or do anything else besides attending mass ,that is the problem .Because God rested on a Sunday.But again, if you are not giving the option to rest on a Sunday,God will understand.
I heard you need to get a dispensation to be relieved of the Sunday obligation.🙏❤️
@@shortstopmotionsshow the verse that says that God rested in a Sunday? Was the first creation day a Monday? What verses affirm so?
Its not about our religion its about the fact that we believe in Jesus as our lord and saviour
How come no follow up question on can Anglicans be saved?? There is NO SALVATION outside of the Catholic Church.
We should do more for all Catholics to be united as ONE.
I have to move to United States to become Eastern Catholic because it doesn’t exist in my part of the world.
I'm sure it's a beautiful rite.
But I?m also sure you find beautiful masses where you're home?
I would pray for guidance. But often God wants us to be active where we are, eveh if there is a lot of cleaning up to do
Eastern catholic is available all over Europe, middle east, Canada, USA, etc.
You can also try ordinariate or TLM in your area if available.
What country are you in? There are many different beautiful rites in the Catholic Church in different countries.
Wherever you come from there a Catholic Church and that's who you are. You may go to other catholic mass but doesn't make you eastern.
9:57 Here is a Catholic who started praying the rosary before converting.
Jesus taught how to pray in the Bible and it wasn't to the pagan rosary.
@@dragonf1092 Nothing he said contradicts the rosary, nothing in ethnic pagan prayer in that time and place was like the rosary.
The question on the saints in heaven hearing us. We have a direct line to the God the Father in and directly through Jesus Christ, why on earth is there any need to go through any other intermediary? Having your brethren here on earth lift up their voices in union with yours to the Father is one thing. But this action of expecting that the saints in heaven have a more direct access to the Eternal Holy Creator God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) demeans what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for each us by being the Saviour and giving us personal direct access to the Father for our petitions, our worship and praise and our direct communion with the Perfect Magnificent Hoyl God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
It is toeing the line of idolatry and why many, including myself, love my catholic brothers and sisters but refuse to walk down the Catholic path.
Then why you ask others on earth to pray for you?
@@jdlee1972 this is different. Praying for someone is still sending requests and praise to the Father.
@@jdlee1972 [Straw man] fallacy in your response. I said pray with you, not for you. That is an enormous difference right there, which far too many people miss, just as you did.
Rev 5 :8-12
➨ INTERCESSION of the SAINTS: REV 5 v 8... 8...
When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones.
9
They sang a new hymn: "Worthy are you to receive the scroll and to break open its seals, for you were slain and with your blood you purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue, people and nation.
Only an Omniscient God can understand all the languages of all nations Nations..John Is a creature and Cant. Only an Omniscient God. 13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, everything in the universe, cry out: "To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever."Now John HERD ALL THIS all those languages of the earth. How did He hear all those Languages and understand them . God Had to have made it possible for John why couldn’t he do that for those in Heaven as well.. So why cant Mary and the saints hear since they have an Omniscient God to Make things Know to them the saints don’t have to Be Omniscient. God gave them that ability.
What are , the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders doing with . Those Prayers in their hands the prayers of the holy ones.Why did God give those Prays to them to Give them to Him 9When he broke open the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar 8 the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the witness they bore to the word of God.10 cried out in a loud voice, "How long will it be, holy and true master, 9 before you sit in judgment and avenge our blood on the inhabitants of the earth?"11Each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to be patient a little while longer until the number was filled of their fellow servants and brothers who were going to be killed as they had been.
This Makes It Know to those Saints In Heaven That God would avenge the saints On earth at a Further tine The lord can Make know to those in heaven what happens on earth at a future time They are Now aware of thing going on Now do you think since they pray to the Lord they would not be praying to the Lord for their Brothers and Sisters of their fellow servants and brothers who were going to be killed as they had been to preserve them as the others had been . What act of Love are Christians told to do for one another Pray for one another
Rev18: 19-24 What’s the reaction to those in heaven… To the destruction Of Babylon On earth if they aren’t made aware of what’s happening on earth. God made them aware giving Biblical proof that The Saints can be made aware of what’s taking place on Earth. They must have seen it Because allowed them to see it.
Mathew 18:6-7 Do not harm little children because God loves them as well as Babes in the Faith Physically or spiritually.
. 6But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Why does he say this
“Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.
What does that mean the Angles are assigned to these children to watch over them and pray for them. They go before the father and Intercede for them .
How do Angles know what is taking place on earth Angles are not Omniscient God thru the Holy Sprit reveals it to them they don’t have to be Omniscient.
Luke 15:7
I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.
How can People in heaven rejoice over someone coming to repentance? If they’re not aware of their repentance. Now since Mary and the Saints are In heaven are they aware of their repentance and rejoice. Those in Heaven must be aware of what’s happening on Earth.
Luke 15:10
In just the same way, I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Those in Heaven must be aware of what’s happening on Earth

The four living creatures answered, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Thank you, it was so interesting and helpful. I liked the question about the patriarcs and prophets from the OT. I pray to them of course. We read about their lives, they are awesome like the apostles and saints. We can also say their beautiful prayers. They knew the Lord was coming, we know the Lord has come.
I'm sure they can hear our prayers but so can Jesus perfectly clearly.

I think a follow-up video should be Father's personal story to why he became Byzantine :)
Just discovered your channel ....and wow , you have some voice !
With all due respect the Sabbath is what Father is referring to in the Ten Commandments. It does not say the Lord's Day. That is Sunday, the day Jesus was ressurescted. We gather to honor and experience again that Ressurection power on Sunday in the celebration of the Eucharist. The Life of Christ. In us! ❤
Sabbath means "rest; to cease from work". Work 6 days, rest on the 7th. It does not mean Saturday.
My question is as a child I was baptized in a Catholic Church and was at a Catholic school up until thirds grade. However, as a teen I got pressured to get baptized in a Protestant church, but now I’m back at a Catholic Church. Can I receive communion?
Go to confession first, then receive communion.
Baptism is a sacrament, God sharing His life with you. It is within you forever. The Protestants went through a ceremony, but it wasn't Baptism. Make an appointment and talk with the priest. It will be very simple for him to answer all your questions. He will be happy to welcome you back.
Second baptism was a sacrilege, a sin. You need confession before receiving communion. Be sure you hear the words from the Priest "that He absolved you of your sins by the power given to him by Our Lord Jesus Christ."
MOST PRIESTS DO NOT FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS ANYMORE. BE VIGILANT!!!!!
You are right about the requirement for confession at least once a year. Perhaps something happened as you said. God knows the person and will judge accordingly. We will leave it to Him.
