Baptism Video #4

Holy Baptism: Father Matthew Presents the Sacraments


1.     Who made this Video and how do you know its trustworthy?
               Father Matthew made this video and I know that he is a trustworthy source because he had an entire youtube channel of accurate Catholic videos.  Father Matthew is a qualified Father.

2.     What did this video teach you about the Sacrament that you didn't already know?
               This video taught me that after the person being baptized has completed their rituals, the entire audience in the church is sprinkles with Holy Water.  I never knew that everyone in the audience was blessed with the water after the person being baptized was finished.

3.     Was this Video entertaining or was is boring? How could it be more appealing?
               This video was entertaining because the Father tried to joke with his viewers throughout the video.  The filming of the video could have been better, it was a little shaky and hard to follow. The Father went through the usually rituals of Baptism and made them entertaining.

Video #1

In the Know with Father Joe


1.     Who made this video and how do you know its trustworthy?
               This video was made by BLINK which is a nationwide group of videos created to share Catholic beliefs and ideas.  This particular video features Father Joe who answers a couple common questions on Baptism.  I know that this video is trustworthy because it is published on an official Catholic site and features a real qualified Father.

2.     What did this video teach you about the Sacrament that you didn't already know?  
               This video taught me that the Catholic believe that the stories about the Sacrament of Baptism are word for word true.  Before this I assumed that most biblical stories were only fictional stories created to get the apostles point across.  After watching this I learned that every story of Baptism in the Bible actually happened.

3.     Was this video actually entertaining or was is boring? How could it be more appealing?
               The video was actually entertaining for me because the Father that was speaking seemed like a real person instead of a boring religious speaker who gave a monotone monologue on the Sacrament of Baptism.  It could be improved by adding more digital effects to the background instead of it being so boring and white.
