Problems with Catholicisms Denial of Paedocommunion @OrthodoxChristianTheology

Orthodox Christian Theology (Craig Truglia) Reader Paul Trinca (Orthodox) voices concern over the practical absence of communion for millions of Roman Catholicism's "members" and the ramifications of this abuse of "discipline."

Orthodox and Roman Catholics alike assert that the sacrament of the Eucharist is beneficial towards salvation for the faithful of all ages and it is a means of grace which enables worthy participants to grow in faith and turn from sin. This video briefly sketches the traditional teaching of the Church on the necessity of paedocommunion. Afterward, it discusses Pope Pius X's Quam Singulari which admits to the necessity of the practice and the cognitive dissonance the same document displays.

In short, if you love your children, how can you in good conscience deny them something beneficial towards their salvation? And why, within the Roman Catholic Church, is this a sacrament that only eastern-rite Catholics can bless their children with?

The Solo Scriptura Scam with Trent Horn

Orthodox Christian Theology (Craig Truglia) 2024-08-16 | An all too common Protestant polemic is that "Sola Scriptura" is an internally consistent system of authority that is grounded in the universal tradition of Christianity. In making this dubious claim, they falsely assert that Protestants sects do not teach "me, alone under a tree, with a Bible," as this is supposedly "Solo Scriptuta," not Sola Scriptura. Is this really the case? Trent Horn joins to show to reveal how exactly this apologetic shell game works.

Letter to Agatho FORGED?

Orthodox Christian Theology (Craig Truglia) 2024-01-20 | The short answer is no. But, this video discusses how the best Greek manuscript evidence shows that a passage in the Latin of Saint Pope Agatho's Letter to Constantinople III teaching inerrancy is absent, indicating it was diplomatically edited in the council. What are the ramifications of this? How does this reveal what the interpretative mindset of the council's fathers on the question was?

Christian Wagner is wrong about the Filioque

Orthodox Christian Theology (Craig Truglia) 2023-10-11 | A simple response video why Christian Wagner's defense of the Filioque is heretical with some comments on the textual integrity of Against Eunomius by Saint Basil and Wagner's apologetics as a whole.

Note: A section in the middle, where I made an error interpreting Aquinas' "Against Greek Errors" has been removed to prevent confusion. The pinned comment discusses this. The rest of the video had useful content, so I have put it back up in edited form.

Orthodox Christian Theology (Craig Truglia) 2023-09-22 | Due to a lack of Roman Catholic apologists that have actually read up on the history of their own dogmas, Catholic Craig saves the day. Prepare to take points, as CC will alongside "setting the history straight" ad hoc, non sequitur, ad hom, and syllogize his case in favor of Roman Catholicism vis a vis "Errors of the Catholics."

Pastor Jason Wallaces Perspective on Eastern Orthodoxy

Orthodox Christian Theology (Craig Truglia) 2023-08-31 | Pastor Jason Wallace (Ancient Paths TV) discusses the making of his film "The Failure of Eastern Orthodoxy" and his precise objections to Orthodoxy vis a vis a Reformed understanding of theology.

Note for viewers: This is an interview, not a debate or refutation of his work. The goal is to draw out more fully the nature of Protestant objections so people can intelligently evaluate what both sides bring to the table.
