Catholic Converts

[@ajamesh1234]

This is the first KZbin video I have responded to. I too am a Catholic Convert. I was a Protestant Pastor for 10 years. I have taken the difficult journey ...home.

[@jfrlkb]

I was raised Lutheran but I became Catholic about 8 years ago, and this video is awesome! I love being Catholic!

[@spitzfire1107]

I am CONVERTED from Atheism to Roman Catholic..now I am a devoted catholic..

[@lippertkaleb]

wow! Im a Convert to Catholisism from Protestant Baptist. god Bless!

[@lungfish]

Protestant turned atheist, now considering Catholicism. I intend to go to my local mass this weekend and see how it is. I am a sinner and it torments me every day, so I need a community that can make me into a better man. In studying history I came to realize how much the Catholics civilized the West. The music, history, cathedrals, tradition, etc. of the Catholics are also much more nourishing than the Protestants.

[@marionsardin8873]

former protestants converted catholics make great catholics and they have a very deep knowlege of scriptures and along with the sacraments and catholic liturgy vitalize the Christ s church and may they help bringing back home so many good hearted protestants..may God bless you all

[@MrSaulhuizar]

To study history, is to become Catholic. Welcome home brothers & sisters.

[@Fetrovsky]

That's great! One thing we also desperately need is people to convert from being Lukewarm Catholics to Faithful Catholics.

[@angelchambers8584]

I grew up in a Protestant family but I myself converted to Catholicism a year and a half ago. It was the best decision that I ever made! So many questions that I had have been answered, and I know in my heart and soul that I made the right choice!

[@jetsetters333777]

CATHOLIC FOREVER - TRUE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST.

[@TameMercian]

After slowly coming to the realisation that indeed Jesus founded a true & living Church on the apostles which through apostolic succession is still here on earth today preaching the true Gospel I was baptised into the Catholic Church on the 24th of May, 2009. It was the most beautiful day of my life & I thank God everyday for the blessing of being united to Jesus through prayer & the Sacraments.

[@24seraphim]

I was born Catholic and I am ashamed to admit that I left the Church when I was young, never even went to catechism. Last year I came back home and it is the best decision of my life, today I am attending catechism for confirmation and I am happy.

[@wisdaniel]

I came back to the Church just this past lent, after a nearly 30 year absence: all of my adult life. I feel renewed in mind and spirit. It is happening to many I believe. Our local churches are full!

[@drdst17]

Catholic "convert" here. From Catholic to Secular Agnostic back to Catholic. God Bless the Holy Catholic Church!

[@josparkes1]

I too converted to the Catholic faith last year when I watched Pope Benedict in the UK on TV.(rec on video) I always liked Pope John Paul but last year I was totally captivated, and finally at The Sacred Heart RC Church in Dereham Norfolk I was Confirmed this Easter. It was a lovely experience for me. This video was beautiful !

[@balcerman]

From atheist to catholic, after giving it a good portion of thinking. Feels like home :)

[@gabrielladeJesus.]

Welcome home.....nothing compares with Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.... God bless you and the ones you love :)

[@mn07666]

It's amazing that just last year, the Church has seen growth in SE Asia and Africa and of all places the US. Even if it's seen some decline in S.America and Europe, that will change,I'm even more confident of that today more than ever. .It's great to not only have faith, but have faith in what is true.Truth is what the Church has brought back to my faith.

[@hussyman2]

I converted from Agnostic to Lutheran Protestant to Catholic, which is my final place. The things that I note as major differences between the later two are the Communion and role of Mary, Mother of God, as well as that of the Saints. I also like the lithurgical ways of the Catholic mass, which to me are less emotional and more repetitive than the worship of the Lutheran Protestant Church.

[@truebloodeddominican]

...blessed is me for I am a catholic...what a privilege to be in communion with the Holy Pope... Long Live The Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ....Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto...sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in saecula saecolorum Amen.

[@FordGuy100]

I'm a convert to Catholicism. Became incorperated into the Church last Easter!

[@riccuellar]

I'm Jew, devoted catholic

[@YankeeFan1384]

I'm in the process of converting to catholism so this video was very inspireing thanks for making it.

[@IOVANNIG]

Our Church is beautiful. She is one in her diversity. It is worth while being a living stone within her. Congratulation on your video. It is a fine "fresco" of the Holy Spirit's breath. Needless to say it is a non-exhaustive list and I doubt that a whole library could have contained the complete list. Bytheway I would remember "Alphonse Ratisbonne" and "Bruno Cornacchiola", too. Greetings from Italy

[@damianfonseca]

@June061944DDay Yeap, watching this gets me sentimental. I was a catholic doubting Thomas. Stubborn and locked away. I couldn't understand mass and it simply wouldn't sink in. I never accepted other churches and the Protestant propaganda against Catholicism drew me even further away. One good day, tired of being fed up I bought a book by Leo Trece "faith explained" I read and re-read until my heart was drenched in it. I then did all the book instructed and returned home with Joy.

[@officerbacz]

A beautiful tribute to people who have may the journey of faith in sincerity and sought the truth.

[@BBShaw-cd9wz]

Glory to God Jesus, welcome back. I pray the same thing for my cousins to come back to the Church.

[@Pantherfitness]

Beautiful song, love you brothers and sisters! Maronite Catholic

[@shadownumber13]

Its sad how other religions talk bad about us and know more about satan rather than god ,jesus ,love and forgiveness be strong catholics because lots of people will try to bring your faith down

[@June061944DDay]

After watching this, I always feel my heart warm up and an uplifting feeling begins to swell... anybody else feel the same? I've also read the stories of the converts listed here. You guys gotta Google and wikipedia them.

[@skjelver4]

Converted from Presbyterian to Catholic in 1991, which was when my life started to take wing.

[@yellowballpoets]

God bless the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church faithful to our Lords teachings for 2000 years.

[@tcruns3]

A few more...St Edith Stein (Jewish to Catholic), Henry Ford Sr., and all those who Bishop Fulton Sheen evangelized and brought Home to the Catholic Church....It is difficult to be a Catholic now, so I thank you for this inspiring video.

[@horsegirl15smom]

WELCOME HOME BROTHERS AND SISTERS!! Let us pray for one another, that we might persevere in this valley of tears until the Lord Jesus calls us into eternity.

[@1carlovo]

Please convert to the catholic church it is the true church.

[@chickydum]

I will be attending an RCIA course starting next month :)

[@vibeatles]

Thanks for this video. I didn't know many of the names or people. But is was so wonderful to see their journey to Catholicism and was quite surprise by many of famous people. This is the fist step to get to Home. God blessed them all!!

[@josparkes1]

THis is so beautiful, really lovely, I was Confirmed at the Easter mass in Norfolk UK, and it was truly lovely, for me. Our church and priest was a model of guidance and help. Bless them all.

[@nannan-kj4xq]

God bless, I love the song, and I love the images in this video.

[@keslyn3z]

I am forever a faithful servant of God because I was born to a Catholic Church...I have a fear of failing God because I was tought in bible study all about the Bible and was read well in Church daily. Thank God for his Love for Us.

[@linrea28]

I am proud to be catholic!

[@aguilacec]

i really liked your video! it always nice to see brothers and sisters who are in our family!

[@grakus10]

Im catholic and Im proud of it , nevertheless I highly respect other traditions different from mine. May Good and the Holly Virgin bless you all¡

[@rtruong]

This is a great video, some of my favorite converts are in this video!

[@hetismij21]

Despite all the media attacks and the relentless lullification of our faith by movies such as da vinci code, the last exorcism the faith remains and even grows stronger. I was even surprised to see Tony Blair become Catholic. I belief Catholicism is indeed the right way to follow Jesus, honor Mary and receive the Holy Spirit.

[@IOVANNIG]

I have watched this video many times over the past week... Simply wondeful!

[@liam13coins]

"Thanks for the posting". Another Convert. :)

[@Portubed]

A couple more awesome converts: Arnold Lunn and Benedit Ashley (still living). There's a portuguese called Zita Seabra who like Ashley fought bravely for socialism. Ashley is a monk and a brilliant intellectual, just as Seabra went on to found a catholic-related publishing house. Also, this Gift of Finest Wheat rendition is truly remarkable, do you know the name of the album? Thanks

[@IHeartPhilipians413]

God bless you. Remain strong on your search for truth. I will pray for you.

[@elcamaras]

Welcome home! Those are both great books. I was just listening to the audiobook version of The Lamb's Supper, another great work by Dr. Hahn.

[@peterp21]

Great video. Lots of happy, smiling Catholic converts from many different walks of life and faiths. Wonderful to know that Dali (re)converted and that Norma McCorvey of Roe v. Wade fame is Catholic and pro-life.

[@AbuKhamrAlMaseeHee]

Thank you for posting this video, as it was very informative. For example, I knew Norma McCorvey (i.e. "Roe" of Roe v Wade) converted to Christianity, but I was unaware of her entering into Communion with Rome. The same is the case with Abdur-Rahman. As for Sam Brownback, Robert Bork, and Lawrence Kudlow, reading about their conversions (after finding out about them in this video) introduced me to a common source of guidance among them: Father C. John McCloskey.

[@LundinMusic]

Try watching the catholism project by Fr. Robert Barron.. Its called Word on fire ministry.. its amazing! he touches so many topics!

[@Enigmatik691]

Great video. Although conversions happen in all directions, one cannot but notice the quality of the conversions and converted to Catholicism.

[@jspinellimusic]

This Video is great

[@willthacheerleader18]

absolutely beautiful video! I had no idea some of these people were catholic converts like myself!

[@cheskarb]

Praise be to God!

[@loriloristuff]

Thank you! Your presentation gave me a really cool idea. I'm going to feature each of these people once a day on my FB. :-)

[@enricobalay3442]

God bless us all.

[@nikkiwindham]

Thank you for posting it. It's very interesting, and you're right about people not thinking people convert to as well as from Catholicism.

[@mamie984565]

Thank you for posting this video.

[@suggesttwo]

@baldonebear Another tradition: In the catholic church I was circumsized in the flesh but learning the word and appling it to my life I was circumsized in the heart.

[@Rheinlander95]

Pray for all those who are either still protestant, or catholics, who by their ignorance have left the church. I see people wearing dunce caps everywhere!

[@ric102580]

very inspiring video. keep on keeping on. Jesus and Mary love you. God bless!

[@17859amg]

Truly the Holy Spirit guided them all to the Church with more revelations of truth from heaven.Who is founded by the Rock chosen by our Jesus Christ. It is not them who choose but our Father Almighty called them all to be a part of HIS family. Thank you Jesus. God bless them all.

[@Portubed]

André Frossard is also a very relevant convert... Throughout the last century at least I'm familar with quite a bunch of books with dozens of beautiful personal conversion testimonies (up to 40+ per volume), some of the latest are the american series Surprised by Truth. The Coming Home Network International, Marcus Grodi organization beyond his The Journey Home EWTN program, is particularly worthy of note. The Catholics Come Home site is very good too.

[@TenderTrap86]

Don't forget Oscar Wilde. He led a long life of debauchery, aimless morality and self struggle, and came home to the Church at his eleventh hour.

[@josparkes1]

Brilliant, simply loved it !

[@Catholic1Maria2]

Pray that we will be united under Peter ...

[@skategurl1102]

@twinnyb2008 Thank you for your nice,sweet words!God bless you!

[@conkal9]

Welcome home. Praise be to God.

[@tharsiskenobi2]

Glory be to Jesus Christ, the Only and sufficient Saviour who satisfied these hungry hearts with gifts of finest wheat. Hail His One and True Church, upon Peter built.

[@Catholic1Maria2]

Trust God in your journey ... welcome home ...

[@Wiglaf67]

Nice job. If you update, you might add Hadley Arckes (recent convert from Judaism) as well as John Wayne and JRR Tolkien.

[@bjcasper]

I have observed that most catholic converts from other sects and religion became saints and blessed, if not, became cardinals or bishops.

[@yellowballpoets]

thank you for this video. May the peace of our lord Jesus Christ be with you always

[@casio3235]

Me encanta ser católico!!!!

[@yellowballpoets]

God Bless the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

[@lippertkaleb]

awesome !

[@ushik0]

@martlut also an example of confession can be found in the parable of the lost son in the book of luke. We also must return to Him as in the parable of the lost son. Just as the son reconciled with his father, so must we reconcile with our Almighty Father. By going to confession, we return to Him and ask forgiveness from Him, modeled after the lost son going back to his father and asking forgiveness from him.

[@Teachering]

Really enjoyed this video. Such an eye opener for me. Joyful to watch.

[@jozifleury]

Amém! Fico muito feliz!! I'm happy to catholic brasileira!

[@gtepp031387]

wow 50 years...wow...thanks be to GOD.

[@jozifleury]

Amém! Fico muito feliz!!

[@dallasez]

i respected every religion every believers.Catholic religion is true religion,we can't come close to GOD if without assistance from Saint especially come to Mary she's will lead us to GOD," remembers the wedding feed in Cana" story? so come to Mary and pray Rosary every days and she will help, she's gave 15 promises to those who are pray Rosary every days.

[@martlut]

@suggesttwo Moreover, Peter is always named first in all listings of the Apostles; Judas is invariably mentioned last. In Matthew 10:2

[@Catholic1Maria2]

Gregorian chant ... welcome home

[@June061944DDay]

@warhero1645 Your church choir apparently has not sung this at all. It's called "Gift of Finest Wheat" and it's a fairly common Communion song.

[@elcamaras]

Gift of Finest Wheat by Father Stan Fortuna

[@RioDeAlegria]

Congratulation's my dear brother for this wonderful...wonderful video, is a very value information about all those converts, for the GLORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, the ONLY CHURCH CHRIST ESTABLISHED. Thank you for this elaboration is GREAT..NOW ALL THOSE CONVERTS, THEY ARE GREAT CATHOLICS...Like Scott Hahn,..Stephen K. Ray..Alex Jones, and many more. They were pastors and theologians of his church, they're a very smart mens.

[@TheEspartacus24]

A great combination!!

[@ashley13811]

i will have u in my prayers everyone that peace an joy always surrounds you

[@ruso37]

Welcome my brother.

[@suggesttwo]

@martlut I have seen a lot of scripture taken out of context in my time but that takes the cake. unbeleivable

[@charlotVII]

Dieu soit béni de convertir ceux qui le cherchent.

[@CanardMom85]

Nice!

[@saintepetitefleur]

Welcome home!!

[@mottledbrain]

@ajamesh1234 Welcome home! I came home from the Anglican ecclesial community while in my late 30s.

[@DanCarollo]

You should update the photos (especially of Scott Hahn! Holy mackeral). Also, you forgot to include: Mortimer J. Adler (philosopher, former editor of Encyclopedia Britannica), Sheldon Vanauken (friend of C.S. Lewis and author of "A Severe Mercy", Thomas Howard (literature professor, brother of well-known missionary Elizabeth Elliot)

[@loiropoderoso07]
