The Catholic Church is still One, Holy, and Apostolic. It was infiltrated in the early-mid 20th century and they made a mess of things at Vatican II. It is the job of Catholics to stand up and correct these things.
"Consider how contrary to the mind of God are the heterodox in regard to the grace of God which has come to us. They have no regard for charity, none for the widow, the orphan, the oppressed, none for the man in prison, the hungry or the thirsty. They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not admit that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, the flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in His graciousness, raised from the dead."
"Letter to the Smyrnaeans", paragraph 6. circa 80-110 A.D.
Research the Great Reformation and Martin Luther. The Eucharist is blasphemy, it's a sacrifice of Christ over and over again, he was the true and final sacrificial atonement. Roman Catholicism is a cradle to grave legal bondage system to control a person.
"And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ[b] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified."
Hey, I watched just a tad of the video, these are Pentecostal Charismatics, they're a mess. I believe he's preaching salvation by baptism/water which is salvation by works, which of course is not what the apostles taught. But of course we could go on and on!
You're going to want to read the source material he references. The Ante-Nicene Church Fathers books. They are the Christians from the first three centuries, who were the ones who decided what would go into he New Testament. They have all the credibility in the world.
Thanks, I used to have most of their works. I like Augustine. I also like St.Thomas Aquinas. I began to rely though mainly on the puritans and Scottish Covenanters of the Reformation, as I trust them and it's easier to read their thoughts about the Church Fathers than slog through it all myself, though I would love to.
Whoa a preacher named Alex Jones, never heard of him! Thanks. We will agree to disagree. I've been studying all this for literally 35 years. I know all about the Roman Church, and I believe her to be an apostate and corrupt church/system ... but you understand I'm of the "reformed faith." But I'm not angry at you, nor offended, not at all :)

All of the Christians from the first three centuries, who put the New Testament as you know it together, believed otherwise. See my above link.
