  For those wondering, this video had a fake copyright strike that seems to be overturned so now Joe needs our help to get this video out of Algorithm purgatory by WATCHING IT IN FULL, LIKING, COMMENTING and SHARING. Lets do our part!

  I am a former Protestant minister who became Catholic six months ago. One of the things that convinced me to leave Protestantism was researching the truth about Luther. It was complicated to leave behind 50 years of belief, but I realised that I had been participating in falsehoods. Thank you for your teaching—it helps me a lot to know that I have done the right thing.✝✝🙏🙏

  As a german I find it very strange that the german lutheran church does everything to "demythologize" Christ himself (historical critical method etc) but they love to mythologize Luther.

  Joe, I cannot believe that after 40 years of studying the Reformation, I have never seen the instructions from the Archbishop of Mainz.  How is this neglected even by Catholic scholars?

  I"m trying not to get angry that EVERYTHING I was ever taught as a Protestant was wrong. Not only everything I heard about the Catholics, but nearly everything about Protestantism itself. "Father, forgive them, for they know not."

  Lifelong non denominational protestant here: I have been interested in and learning about Catholicism for the last 9 months thanks to Pints with Aquinas. Whilst I've certainly experienced a paradigm shift and feelings of betrayal, this video has really opened my eyes to the lies, deceit and propaganda about Catholicism. As much as I love your videos Joe, I think you should have a support helpline or something for us protestants who watch these. I wish you could give me a hug.

  The Hesch! It's very ironic, but perhaps fitting, that a Martin Luther episode was in purgatory. This may be your best pun yet!

  I&apos;m 66, and I was born into evangelical Protestantism. I heard my fair share of obligatory and hateful anti-Catholic sermons growing up. Late in life I had my fill, walked away, and was received into the Eastern Orthodox Church (Antiochian).<br>My niece followed, and was received into the Roman Catholic Church, where she met and married her husband. We never looked back.<br>The teaching I heard growing up that the church suddenly disappeared after the death of the apostles, but resurfaced in the 16th century in Northern Europe, was always puzzling.

  I learned pretty much this mythical history in high school and i only realized years later how inaccurate it was. I wish i could go back and confront my teacher on the falsities

  I thought Martin Luther’s objection wasn’t the idea of indulgences but rather the corruption of them by unscrupulous clergy.

  The fact that so many lies are spun against the Catholic Church to try and discredit it frankly only serves to show it&apos;s really Christ&apos;s Church.

  As a former Lutheran, I really like this video. &nbsp;It touches on all these points that I learned were inaccurate as I studied the reformation and puts them together in an easy to digest format.
