If a so called non denom existed which they don’t it would still be a denom. (and you’ll find those who belong to a so called non denom think there better then everyone else!). Now to the painful truth You have the holy Catholic Church. You have 48,000 man made protestant CULTS. The Bible is a Catholic book the protestant Bible is an incomplete and corrupted Catholic book which I’d rip up. To be Christian one must belong to the holy Catholic Church because it’s the ONLY CHURCH. God bless.

When pentecostal revival was introduced in the 1980s, I attended most crusades out of curiosity but found it boring and too noisy with all the hype in music singing dancing and speaking tongues unlike the Catholic holy mass. Luckily I never attended many alter calls..today most of these loca smalll churches have died out as they continued to splinter.

As I am in the process of converting to Catholicism from a non-denominational/Baptist background, Sophia’s story is so relatable. When she said “it was fear that Catholicism was right..”That’s so true. I grew up on Protestantism being the only right way and that Catholics worship Mary and are bounded by Rome. But I was invited to a Christmas Mass December of last year and fell in love with the history and traditions of the Catholic Church. I found a lot of Protestantism is driven by hate and misinformation. I could have never envisioned myself becoming a Catholic. Yet, by the grace of God, here I am.

@@thinkingmind1421 2 Corthintians 11:4 The false Jesus Paul warned us about seems to be the one you are associated with. The RCC's Barbaric history shows that very clearly. The catholic church needs you on the pews for their religious Jesus. The Jesus in the Bible has prepared a place in heaven for those who know him there is no stopover in that journey into heaven. That is a prerequisite for a true child of GOD. Manmade religion will rob you of your right as a child of GOD with mumbo jumbo. Colossians 3 there is something that happens to the child that has risen with Christ seeking those things which are above. The true Damascus road experience shows what happens when that happens in Act 26.

I am a former Southern Baptist convert to the Catholic Church. My position on cognitive dissonance goes back to the old time concept of an angel sitting on our right shoulder, and a devil sitting on our left shoulder...whispering all the time to try to sway us to their sides. We have to have the courage to embrace the Truth, no matter how frightening, no matter how it will pull the rug out from under us. I pray daily for God to give me a new thought, a new understanding, even if it hurts. You are a testament to that principle. On a side note, from my growing up Baptist, I believe they are practicing John The Baptist's faith, preaching and baptizing with water. They are stuck there.

Some Catholic Writings are anti-Bible. For example Decretals, epistolae decretales, are papal letters that have a claim to universal validity and clarify questions of Church law. The Roman Decretalia states the Pope can pronounce sentences and judgments in contradiction to the right of nations, and to the law of God and man .... He can free himself from the commands of the apostles, he being their superior, and from the rules of the Old Testament,” “The pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ.”-Decretal de Translat. Episcop. Cap. The Catholic 10 Commandments found in Catechisms Sections 2052 -2557 are DIFFERENT to God's 10 Commandments found in Exodus 20.

@@minosoachristine551 Thank you for the question. The word Catholic cannot be directly found in the bible because it is a greek word. It came from "Kataholos" which means "universal". This is as complicated as the word "Trinity" can never be found in the bible; yet you are NOT considered a christian if you dont believe in the One God in Three Persons. And the word "Trinity" was coined at year 200 AD by a catholic named Tertullian. The word "Bible" can also never be found in the Scriptures. because the Catholic Church decided which scriptures are "God-breathed" and compiled the final 73 books and calle it "Biblia: which means "The Books." Scripture also says that "all Scriptures are inspired by the Holy Spirit" yet the bible itself never told us which writings and letters are inspired out of the thousands produced out there.

​@Giraf1964 you should read the rest of that sentence from the Bible. Or even the rest of 1 Timothy. St. Paul literally asks us to pray for each other. So verse 2:5 actually just can't mean what you are saying it means. Good thing St. Paul clarified exactly what he meant in the rest of the sentence. 1 Timothy 2:1-6 "First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone, for kings and all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity. This is good and pleasing to God our savior, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth. For there is one God. There is also one mediator between God and the human race, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself as a ransom for all." So St. Paul is actually quite clear about the type of mediation that exists between God, Jesus, and man, while explicitly excluding the type of mediation you implied it means in 1 Timothy 2:1

I'm going to share something with you. I too heard a lot of lies about Catholics and I believed them. Especially when people would show me Scriptures. If your wife is against Catholicism, showing her Catholic material won't convince her. I read Catholic material and I just thought they were a bit fanatic. It took first and foremost, God in my life. This is what helped me. I heard the lie about "good works religion". Catholics had to earn their salvation through works. Then I read "Message to Christian Workers," by D.L. Moody. Read that sermon. It will blow your mind. I know D.L. Moody is not Catholic, but he realized that every human is a tree, and like trees, we bear fruit. We either bear Fruits of the Spirit, or Fruits of the Flesh. Jesus said the Holy Spirit is like wind because wind never stops moving. The Holy Spirit is active, and because He is active, He wants to work for God. Because the Holy Spirit is living inside me, I can't be a couch potato. After reading that sermon, I thought, "My goodness! The Catholics are right!" You see, everything started in the Catholic church. But if you go straight to the origin, many Protestants are prejudiced and don't want to look at it. Just keep praying for your wife.

In a protestantan church they base their worshiping in touching people's emotions, they make sure they have good music an a good inspirational speech, so you feel comfortable, the center is you.. In the Catholic church, we worship God, he is the center. During mass there is time to ask for forgiveness, time to pray for one another, time to listen to God, time to confess our faith in him, time to remember his sacrifice, his death, time to celebrate his resureccion. I am so thankful for be part of Jesus church.

Eugene, thank you for the comment. All prohibitions against talking to the dead were in the Old Testament because Jesus had not died or risen yet. Therefore, people died and were rotting in the grave. They couldn't hear you. They were not conscious. There was no way to talk to them unless you practiced some black magic or something, or you conjured up their spirit like Saul did. However, Jesus is alive. He conquered sin, shattered death, and is alive forever, more in glory. In Mt. 27:52, It says that the graves of those who had died broke open and they were walking around. So these people are not dead any more, thanks to Christ, but are alive and not in the grave. Everyone who follows him are alive forever in heaven (Rev. 6:9) and perfected in his life and righteousness. Therefore, they are not dead in the grave but are alive in heaven, which is a big difference. Even the bible shows people in heaven taking our prayers before God. (Rev. 5:8; 8:3-4)

I am a cradle Catholic, joined the LDS (Mormon church) for 19 years and then the Holy Spirit called me home to the Catholic faith. I was very happy as a Mormon.. but when the Holy Spirit called me home, I knew I needed to act and I did. About a year after leaving the LDS church, the scales came off of my eyes about the LDS church and then I was angry. The whole foundation of the LDS church is based on lies that changed periodically over time. I was angry that I lost 19 years based on lies. I do know the LDS church has a way of making everything about US instead of about Christ. There is a lot of Christ intertwined but overall, everything is to please humans, not God.

Yes, I heard a story about my aunt. Her daughter (my cousin) came out as lesbian in her teen years, then all of a sudden my aunt became not only anti Catholic, but agnostic bordering atheist. She's really into the occult, and it saddens me so much, because apparently she used to be a "super catholic" and really involved in the church. It would seem she left for the reasons you state, that she wanted the freedom to live in her sin and accept the sin of her daughter's lifestyle. I don't think think there's any turning back for her, but I'll continue to pray for her, I'm so worried about her soul.

Returned to The Catholic Church. 12 months later I was blessed to be able to pray the Rosary with both my parents as they died within 4 months of each other. Have consecrated myself to Our Lady and St Joseph. And am constantly buying and giving away Rosaries. Many to non Catholic Christians, and always with a pamphlet on how to pray The Rosary.

My conversion story was very similar, except I didn't break rosaries or statues since...I mean let's be honest that's some psycho stuff lol but I love apologetics, and spent the last few years frying Mormons and JW online like eggs over easy. A few months ago I started getting into it with Roman Catholics (which was not the norm for me). I kept getting accused of misrepresenting their beliefs. True, I didn't know much about the RCC, but I didnt have to because they were so OBVIOUSLY statue-worshiping, polytheistic heretics. So, in fairness, I decided I'd learn more about their damn religion then they know, that way they couldn't accuse me of misrepresenting them! So I ordered Crossing the Tiber, and Rome Sweet Home. After picking both my soul and my brain up off the floor, I ordered the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Then about 15 other books. Then read Aquinas, Clement, Polycarp, Irenaeus, Ignatius, Justin Martyr, Augustine, and more. I immediately contacted my family and pastor and informed them I was attending RCIA in the fall.

How can one be Catholic without considering the following The Roman Decretalia states the Pope can pronounce sentences and judgments in contradiction to the right of nations, and to the law of God and man .... He can free himself from the commands of the apostles, he being their superior, and from the rules of the Old Testament,” “The pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ.”-Decretal de Translat. Episcop. Cap. The Catholic 10 Commandments found in Catechisms Sections 2052 -2557 are DIFFERENT to God's 10 Commandments found in Exodus 20.

I am a convert from a deeply Fundamentalistic anti-Catholic Baptist Church, it took quite a while for me to understand that Jesus is the Holy Eucharist, even after I became Catholic, but Jesus never gave up on me, Blessed be His Holy Name. And Mary, Oh, my goodness, our Holy Mother is so patient and kind with sinners, she really is our refuge. What strikes me in her talk, is how much her husband loves her. And that her husband comes from a family of Saints, who hunkered down and prayed many daily Rosaries for both of them, many Novenas, and I cannot Imagine how many Masses they had said for these two. And now both of them are on fire for Jesus, for Our Blessed Mother, and for the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. Wow, Holy Spirit!!

I was a non practicing Protestant who heard from one Protestant pastor that Catholics worshipped Mary and I believed him. And it never once even crossed my mind to look at what the early church fathers did and what their worship looked like. They were the ones who were nearest to Jesus. I didn’t even know that I was a Protestant. I had to google that term when I was in the beginning stages of my conversion I kept seeing the term. I just thought I was a Christian. It’s funny because deep inside I already knew Catholicism was the oldest faith. You can tell by the architecture and beauty and age of their churches and the fact that all old movies they are Catholic. That’s because all Christians before 1500 were Catholic. Even the orthodox were united as one Catholic universal Church. It’s funny how dumb I was. I was just a lost sheep. Thank the Lord, He came back for me.

I worked on a college campus, so I could take world religions classes, Biblical Hebrew, Old Testament era comparative religion studies, etc. I was a grounds keeper, so I basically worked the entire time alone while listening to my mp3 player. God had taken me through Protestantism and showed me the errors, I couldn’t remain in a denomination if I found an error in their theology. In the end, Catholicism was all I had left or start a new denomination, which I couldn’t bring myself to even try to do. I needed to find the Church that matched the theology I had been taught by the Holy Spirt, which happened to be the last place I would have even dared to look. I had a broken windshield wiper on my vehicle at work. So, I got a different vehicle that day. It was a new truck and came with a free year of satellite radio. So, I decided that was the day I would start listening to catholic teaching. It was the feast of the conversion of Saint Paul which peaked my attention, as I had been pulled out of atheism by an act of God very similar to Paul’s experience. I was effectively an atheist by high school and spent a long time as such. So, feast of the conversion of Saint Paul, ewtn, the whole day is conversion stories and then came on, John Martignoni, Catholic apologist, I ended up going home and downloading all his stuff at the time and jamming it on my mo3 player. I hit play the next morning and didn’t stop till I had run through everything. Everything I had accepted to be true without a doubt over the last decade, was already Catholic and everything I had learned about Catholicism as a kid, was a lie. I had been absolutely betrayed by everyone that had ever told me anything about what Catholicism taught. They brainwashed me while claiming Catholics were all brainwashed. They had served me strawman arguments and hadn’t even attempted to debunk actual Catholic arguments. My conversion has ultimately cost me everything, family, friends, my wife, my children, all gone, no contact whatsoever. I forgave my parents and they disowned me. My wife cheated and left me, turned my kids against me, etc. I wouldn’t change anything though, I’m free of a living hell on earth the likes of which I wouldn’t wish on my worst of enemies. Living without love is a hunger and thirst that is just pain, unrelenting pain. People with reactive attachment disorder, typically commit suicide if they haven’t accidentally overdosed. It’s horrible.

I was born in a Catholic family in Brasil, but I lost my faith during my teenagers due to marxism teached in school in so many areas. I kept away from the church hating it so much for so many years! Then, I got maried to ex catholic woman and became a father when I was 33. By the divine providence, my son reconected me to God and brought back my faith. So, I told that to my wife and she asked me to join her church. But, before I do that, I told her I should study more about Jesus to reinforce my faith with my reason. The more I studied, the more Catholic I became. I discovered a whole treasure that was hidden from me that changed my life. I got all the sacraments I was missing and next month, by intercessão of Nossa Senhora das Graças, we are going to baptize our seven years old son called Pedro.

As an Evangelical myself before I became Catholic, I did not experience that type of vitriol. In fact, as a Protestant Evangelical, I would argue with some Protestants and defend the Catholic Church. My attitude toward the Catholic Church when I was Protestant was that the Catholic Church is a Christian Church that contained error, but I believed that about all denominations. I am not a lukewarm Catholic or a modernist as I attend the Latin Mass. I still have Protestant friends who appreciate some Catholic spirituality and will even attend Catholic events with me. It is sad that there are people like James White, Dave Hunt and Mike Gendron who cause anger and vitriol based on nonsense.

Now catholic truth has control of this site. if he controls the comment through manipulation for those with alternative views and indisputable facts to support why they disagree with his Truth.

@@ralf547 from what you just said, I’m convinced you were either poorly catechized as a Catholic and/or you bought into anti-Catholic propaganda by some Protestants. You have committed the grave sin of apostasy by turning your back on the Church that you were baptized into, the one Jesus’ founded. I urge you to repent and come back home for your eternal salvation. I believe Jesus is Son of God, our Savior. It is from this faith in Jesus that I believe he founded the Catholic Church as the means by which he saves us through the supernatural grace contained in the 7 sacraments and also through her doctrines and dogmas that form and guide us in our mortal and spiritual life. Just to give a short explanation why I said that, I’ll talk about one of the sacraments, baptism and how it saves. This stems from what Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:5, “Amen, Amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit”. and 1 Peter 3:21 says, Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience.” Also, in Acts 2:38-41, “Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” This is why we believe baptism is more than just a symbol. It actually saves a person because the water washes away his sin and the Holy Spirit enters into him which then enables him to enter God’s kingdom. As for doctrine and dogma, you made it sound like they’re really awful and burdensome and so we should eschew them. I happen to think differently. I love the teachings and dogmas of the Church. They’re profoundly beautiful and speaks of the depth of God’s love for us. Take the dogma of Communion of Saints for example. Members of the Church form the Mystical Body of Christ and so we are deeply connected to each other. Not even death can separate us. Saints, therefore are empowered by God to hear our prayers and intercede for us in heaven. No different than when we ask a friend or a pastor to pray for us.

Led Zeppelin IV starts off fast and hard, then it gets slow and softer, then it ends with a slightly harder song. Led Zeppelin III starts off fast with the immigrant song, then slows down. Both of these albums are exactly what goes on in a “worship” (I used quotes is because the Mass is what is worship) service. It uses one’s emotions to make you feel like you’re worshipping. The worship team is a part of what actually brought me into the Church. I ended up realizing worship is sacrifice, and when I went to my first traditional service (the Anglicans) I realized that I didn’t have to feel any certain way to worship God. This is something that I would love to explain more, but it’s too long for a yt comment. I did go over it a little on the miss happy Catholic channel on the protestant trad video.

I'm 66, and I was born into evangelical Protestantism. One could expect the obligatory "the Catholics are lost and don't know Jesus" sermons on a regular basis, and hateful things as well. Late in life I had enough of that world, walked away, was received into the Eastern Orthodox Church ☦️, and never looked back. My niece followed, walked away from evangelical Protestantism, was received into the Roman Catholic Church, met and married her husband there, and never looked back. Both of us thank the lord for having been led out of evangelicalism, and for not abandoning our faith. We're seeing exponential growth in my little Antiochian Orthodox parish in the midwest, with young families, but particularly with men, especially young men. Many are disaffected evangelical Protestants, but we've been seeing an increase of many who have no faith traditions. The Eastern Rite Catholic Church, and the sole TLM Catholic Church in my city is seeing this same phenomena as well. I can say unequivocally that evangelicals pick off low hanging fruit from the Catholic and Orthodox Church, but I can equally say unequivocally that these were often those not serious about their faith, not well catechized, and wanted the "DIY church of me". As modernity ravishes the evangelicals (which it is), the Catholic and Orthodox Churches will be the recipients of disaffected laity and clergy, and especially the young.

St. Irenaeus of Lyons was a big influence on me. On a different note please pray for my sister. She's dealing with OCD and anorexia. She's seeking help from a Protestant pastor who believes that mental health doesn't exist (very John MacArthur influence) and tells her that she's in sin because she has OCD and anorexia. This is significantly impacting her mental health and our family. All my family members are anti-Catholic, and my sister thinks Catholics aren't saved."

Praying for the healing of all those who are suffering from mental illness. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. If you can take her to the Anointing of the Sick. I was healed through the Anointing of the Sick in a Mass. "Reach out to Jesus with Faith". Remember the woman who suffered hemmorhage for 12 years. Bishop Baron has a brilliant sermon about this including the rasing of the dead of Jairus' daughter because of Jarius' faith. Have faith..❤

Didn't you notice? You just have to open your mind, think outside the box and use your common sense to know that protestantism defies simple logic.Bible was not available until one thousand and five hundred years later(no such thing as sola scriptura because no bible to read!), protestantism came up the same date, and before all that, Catholic church existed, where literate or non-literate Christians learned of the gospel. Keep praying, say the rosary if you can, it works for me, I'm sure it will for your family..

I grew up with lies about the Catholics and while I myself didn’t hate (felt bad for, wary of, yet somewhat fascinated by) them, my family certainly did and so, when I met my Cradle Catholic husband, I was very happy to learn that he had a genuine relationship with Christ and could even respect some of his beliefs… but I fully intended to “convert” him to “TRUE Christianity”. My parents were worried that Satan would use him against me (and to their minds that’s what happened) but in reality, because I am also very enthusiastic about apologetics and history, as I started friendly debates with both him and my father-in-law especially, I started to realize that I didn’t know as much as I thought I did and so I had to do some digging… and after learning I’d been lied to, I started digging more, going further back in history and going deeper into the actual beliefs and traditions of the Catholic Faith and I came to a point where I had to admit that this was indeed the Church founded by Christ. But then what? I still had some issues with Mary and some other stuff but during this time, in fact, even before, I’d grown tired of the denominational wars… I’d left my long time evangelical church, I had issues with the Baptists and Methodists and while my grandfather was a (retired) Wesleyan pastor with a good heart, I couldn’t say the same of the others, including the one who took over the church he’d built with his own hands, and while I did some church hopping (while still dating, my husband went to a church with me and some family ONCE and he and I at least left feeling very icky), I’d kind of stopped going because there was nowhere I felt that true worship was happening. Nowhere I felt at home anymore. So… I started going to church with my husband and in-laws and while pride got in the way for awhile, I finally had to admit that the beauty and the reverence was undeniable. So, back to where I’ve run out of protests against the Catholic Church… I start researching orthodoxy as my husband was born/baptized Byzantine (though his family had started to attend the Roman rite) so it was close and perhaps a compromise, I looked up “how to acknowledge Catholic teachings but still just be a Christian”… There was this fear still about actually converting… couldn’t I admit they were right but still be “just Christian”? My husband never pushed or pressured me. We talked of course but we both loved the Lord and that was enough… Honestly, I got in more heated debates with his dad and I have thanked him for that because between my need to research to stay on my game with him and just feeling…left out at Mass as everyone else received communion but me which rankled (then I had to ask myself “why if it’s just symbol?”) and seemed to have/know something I didn’t… I was still a little uncomfortable with the veneration of Mary but I’d pretty much sorted out the rest like confession, purgatory, papal authority (papal succession had been extremely interesting to follow), indulgences, infant baptism, praying to saints for intercession, etc. and I found myself asking “why would/should a Christian become Catholic” and I kept getting the same answer: “The Eucharist”. That was frustrating but thank God for Scott Hahn and others like him (and you)! I finally looked at all I’d learned and realized that I had so many reasons to accept the Catholic Faith as TRUTH and claim it as my own and no reasons not to other than fear and maybe still a little pride. So, I offered them up to God. I asked him to take away my fear, rid me of my pride, let me see the truth… and help me understand Mary and her role… I also asked for Mary to reveal herself to me… and she did! It’s hard to put into words but at a time where I needed a mother most, she was there for me and as we Catholics always say, she does indeed always point us back to her Son! I finally asked to join RCIA (though everyone joked that I could have taught it myself and was a very helpful resource lol) and armed with my new understanding of what the Eucharist truly is, after a very cathartic confession experience, with my husband and in-laws supporting me (my FIL ended up being my sponsor which was perfect and brought us closer together) while my own family turned their backs, I finally came HOME! I was welcomed with such joy, I experienced the overwhelming feeling of rightness and peace as I proclaimed my faith and truly received Christ’s Body and Blood! This was TRUTH! This was everything God had been preparing me for and leading me to all along. I am so thankful that I trusted Him and followed His guidance! Now I’m the “Super Catholic” who is still passionate about evangelizing and sharing the TRUTH of our Faith with others years after my conversion. I think that many converts are so passionate because they know what it’s like to live without the fullness of faith... without the Eucharist, the Source and Summit of our Faith! Not all but many CCs take it for granted. That’s why we absolutely need a Eucharistic revival! Better catechesis! More Catholics ready and willing to share and defend their faith! Lord, Your will be done!

Great interview. I actually bought my wife Scott Hahn’s book 3 years ago in hopes she would read it. She still hasn’t and I’m not the type to pressure someone to read a book against their will or force anything, but I have a strong feeling she’s purposely avoiding it because she doesn’t want to be convinced. So pray for her.

Forcing her is one thing, but a friendly reminder or encouragement wouldn't hurt. ;-) Scott Hahn hated the fact that he was trying to force faith on his father, who was on his deathbed, but it paid off because he ended up accepting Jesus on his deathbed. Just a thought.
