Me too - cradle Protestant, converted to RCC, wavered back into Protestantism mainly because of the sex abuse scandals, pacha mama, corrupt Vatican Bank scandal etc., but God never let me go, showing me this was spiritual warfare. Finally returned Home. The first time I received Jesus in the Eucharist, after returning, had an even deeper effect than it had ever done before. God does indeed work in mysterious ways!

Do you actually know that what you are saying is heratic for the Katholik church? Christians belive what the Bible teaches that you are saved by grace alone trough faith alone and not of Yourself it‘s the gift of God. If you believe that, the Katholik churches says you are anathema and a heretic. (Counsel of Trient is pretty clear about that) Don‘t go with this new movement and repent of your sins and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ as your only hope! Matthew 7: 21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

It began me asking my priest to explain the faith to me (even though I was already confirmed). This led me on a long journey of discovering my faith even more so that I became deeply grounded in Catholicism. It was then, I understood, Sola Scriptura. So this headline caught my attention as this is also my story. I grew to love our Blessed Mother even more and learnt my faith even more deeply. Thanks for your testimony.

But i appreciate Old Protestants... because of whom Bible's truth is not only all around the world. But they made people think for themselves about if they will be decived or not Protestants nowadays don't even follow Bible themselves.....to be protesting against the wrong teachings of any wrong teachers. Which is why who calls themselves protestants nowadays are not fully furnished. Also.... protestants where loyal Political People + loyal Christians which nowadays are not needed....for the truth in the Bible alone is enough to make people to think what is right for them to believe

@lary Snw What lessons? Everything taught in the Catechism are lessons on truth. Remember! John 17:21-23 21. so that they may all be One, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. 22. And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be One, as we are one, 23. I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as One, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me. It is a fact, Jesus built just One Church. Not thousands of man-founded "protestant" churches and sects against His Will. Judaism is Old Testament Catholicism. Therefore it was the same "ekklesia" which wrote the Old Testament and after Christ's ascension wrote the New Testament, compiling it later into one Book and declaring it "Word of God", for the first time, at the Council of Rome in August of 382AD. God's creation is One. The sacred writers were part of the same one and only Church that Jesus brought together; those who followed His commands and remained one with Him in spite of their imperfections. Remember Peter and his apparent flaws? That same individual remained chief of the Apostles. Jesus did not gather ready made saints, He called 12 human beings and even one betrayed Him. The others, in spite of their flaws, remained faithful and died heroically for the faith. This pattern will play out across the centuries in a very human Church. I remind you that what Jesus promises and wills, actually happens: ▪︎MATTHEW 16:18-19 18. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build MY CHURCH, and the powers of DEATH shall NOT prevail against it. 19. I will give YOU the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Larry, Jesus' only option for you anf the world is CATHOLIC UNITY, not man-made protestant divisions. In case you still have doubts, St. Paul repeats the same message of unity in: ▪︎EPHESIANS 4:3-6 3. Striving to PRESERVE the UNITY of the spirit through the bond of peace: 4. One Body and One Spirit, as you were also called to the One hope of your call 5. One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism 6. One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Did you get the message? Unity is from God! Division is from the devil. May God bless your discernment.

Because truth is found in the one Church founded by Christ but rejected by Luther: ▪︎1 TIMOTHY 3:15 15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is THE CHURCH of the living God, THE PILLAR and FOUNDATION OF THE TRUTH. Why such conviction? Because Jesus emphatically promised: ▪︎JOHN 16:13 13. When the SPIRIT of TRUTH comes, He WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. Why did Luther deny such promise? Because he chose to ignore our Lord's command for unity. To be one with the Lords Church means you'll be constantly guided to the truth and not to opinions. Contrast the number of churches and sects created by the unbiblical "Protestant Reformation" initiated by the man named Luther and his "gospel" of "Bible alone". May God bless your discernment.

He hears prayers through his son Jesus Christ. Thou Whomever comes through him, GOD will answer that prayer. Why don't you read your bible. Leave history books and read the Bible. In the bible it says John 14:6 ESV "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." 1 Timothy 2:5 ESV "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" There are a lot of places that say Jesus is the way. I have never ever in my life read where it says "Mary said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." 🤣 or any sort of that type. And Ow please the catholic church is not where the Bible was found. You people just want to take credit. The Bible was written by Old Testament: Moses, David and Solomon, prophets, seers and kings In the New Testament When the apostles wrote their letters, the congregations received them. They read them. They spread them. They copied them for other brethren in Christ Jesus. And they recognized their authority in the Christian's life. So the Scriptures were produced by men of God, not by "the church." But they were produced FOR the church. You get it now! We protestants departed from your kind (CATHOLIC) in the first place is because the teaching wasn't right. WRoNG DOCTRINES! The pope is called a vicar of the one and only Messiah! "WHAT THE HELL!" That is why we are called protestants. We protest against wrong teachings and give glory and praise to the the king of kings. To the alpha and omega. The Elohim. Praised be his name. AMEN! So brother, may Jesus find you as he found Paul in Damascus. May he unwrap your blindfolds. The blindfolds that the Elites made you wear.

Well, now u are asking yourselves "We didn't worship Mary or Angels, we are just asking them to Reach GOD and tell him our sins, so that he may forgive us." Well by now i can tell u, u are breaking the Commandment. Do Angels or Mother Mary have Omni-Presence....They don't. U people are praying to them.....but you better know they aren't there with u. The only one there with you is the Mighty GOD, and he is the only one who has omni-Presence The Trinity : THE FATHER, THE SON, and THE HOLY SPIRIT. U don't even understand why Jesus died for u in the Cross. He would be very disappointed by this, u should know. Well u know I can write all day....but I am getting tired already. Well "God Bless You, Whomever It Is That Is Reading This Comment!" AMEN! TURN TO JESUS HE IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO MAN CAN REACH THE FATHER WITHOUT THE SACRIFICE WHICH IS JESUS THE GOOD SHEPERD!

I am converting to Catholicism, I grew up without any faith and I ended up being Protestant for a few years in my early teens after my best friend brought me to church. It was a charismatic Pentecostal church and despite all of the emphasis they placed on emotion, it still felt empty. I felt as if something was missing and I couldn't find out what, which eventually led me into atheism. Then, in my junior year of college, I met a FOCUS missionary who brought me to Eucharistic adoration, a Bible study, and other university Catholic nights. I did research as I went along and I fell in love with the Mass and I am starting RCIA when I go back to college this fall, and I will be living in our university parish apartments, so I will be living directly attached to a church!! I am so excited and I thank God so, so much for giving me the grace to lead me home, even though I was the most undeserving.

Hi Sean, my name is Nino. I recently discovered you on KZbin and I am happy to follow you because you explain in a very interesting and comprehensive way what you say about the Catholic Church. Compliments ! I am Italian, I live in Italy and I am a Catholic. Now I need to say a few words to those who are always ready to point the finger at it: That's right, it's not a perfect church! But we must forget that Peter and Paul are not born saints, but become saints, that Christ entrusted the Church to the one who had denied him three times; who entrusted the task of evangelizing to Paul, to the one who in the past had been persecutor of Christians. He did not entrust His Church to perfect angels, but to fragile men, who converted and repented before receiving the mission, but who were humanly "wounded healers", clay vessels, which did not break because they walked in obedience to Christ. And today all of us, when we feel tired and afraid, find the strength and solidity of our faith in that of Peter and his successors, who for 2000 years have confirmed us in the Catholic faith transmitted by the apostles. The Catholic Church is a miracle of God: let's be proud of it. "You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church, and the powers of the underworld will not prevail over it" Sean, keep it up! God bless you !

Answering to Arlen, yes it is Christ the Rock and Peter ( Petrus=rock) represents the Christ because remember he ascended to Heaven after 40 days and His universal Church it this branch of Heaven on Earth that He created to continue His ministry. Of course He rescue us from Satan and sin (salvation) because the fallen try to bring us to their “place” that’s why we say that we are in constant spiritual battle and we must stay strong with the armor of God and His sacraments.

I also was invited by friends who were Protestant and Evangelical when I was a student in the State University (non-Catholic school) here in the Philippines where majority of people are Catholic and most just take their being Catholic for granted (I was also like that for years)... so I did try attending Protestant/Evangelical Services during Sundays for a time ... eventually I simply gave up ... I did try to look for the communities or congregations where I suppose they would be able to quench my deep thirst for God... BUT NO, I eventually discovered ... yeah, the songs were nice, the community-singing, the Bible preaching, the focus and the emphasis on Scripture... BUT NO... something was terribly missing... the Sense of the SACRED, the transcendence that one experiences only in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Real Presence in the Eucharist... Also, the undeniable historical links up to the time of Christ, and all the 2000 years of Christian Faith and Life that no 16th century-established Protestant Church could ever match... they don't even get close... NO, I SAID TO MYSELF ... PROTESTANTISM, FRAGMENTED INTO THOUSANDS OF DENOMINATIONS, JUST ISN'T IT... it couldn't be... one must search and not stop searching until one gets to the BOTTOM OF IT ALL... and there - lo and behold - one discovers the Catholic Church, the original Christian Church of all... I have many Protestant friends who kept on searching and searching and searching and searching ... and in the end, they too became Catholic... the Light at the End of the Tunnel is the Catholic Faith. End of this long story -- I became a Catholic priest, ordained some years ago, and constantly praying for all those searching for the Light... you will find it, God will lead you to the fullness of the Truth... and that Truth will set you free!

I met this protestant guy in college, he was interested in getting to know me bc of my bracelet (I used to wear this rubber bracelet with a bible verse on it). Later I found out that he has studied Theology (MDiv) and wants to become a pastor. I respected him and his beliefs bc as a Catholic I just thought ok, we may have different opinions but we still worship the same God. I saw him as a brother in Christ but the more we talked, the more our views differ. The thing that I hurt me the most was him being disrespectful towards the Mother of Jesus. I just couldnt understand it, so you worship Jesus but you don't respect His Mother? Jesus is God and Holy but His Mother is not Holy? How can the Mother of God be a regular woman? Thats just impossible. Then we became facebook friends and his entire family made fun of the Pope by sharing memes. Im not saying the Catholic church is perfect, I know we have so many problems and scandals but its bc the church is lead by people. Human beings are weak and we sin. But that doesnt change the fact that the Catholic church was founded by Christ Himself. There are good Catholic priests and bad ones just like bad Catholics and good Catholics. Ive met many protestants and ive noticed they all have one thing in common: they always criticize the Pope and Virgin Mary. What I do respect about protestants is they study the Bible seriously. He actually motivated me to pick up my Bible. I just find it unfortunate that protestants dont appreciate their big family in Heaven. We have wonderful saints and angels in heaven that can pray for us and our Holy Mother is always protecting us. They are missing out on a lot by not acknowledging our Lady. The Rosary prayer is the best gift ever

When I told her my wife and I were joining the Catholic Church, she was thrilled. "That's wonderful," she said on the phone. She has never said anythng negative about the Catholic Church. Unfortunately, she's a minority. Best wises to you for sticking with your faith in the face of criticism and ridicule.

I had a friend who was a evangelico Protestant who kept asking me questions about the Catholic church and its beliefs. . Not having the answers and as you were I was brought up Catholic and went through the motions I had to keep going to my local priest and ask him the questions that were being asked of me. . One time while the priest was painting the fence at the church he said I think it'd be a better idea if your friend gave me a call . It was certainly easier than acting like a telephone wire going back and forth with questions and answers. . To make a long story short he met with the priest in the rectory a number of times and years later my friend became a Catholic and runs a youth group at our local Parish. . Not only did he become Catholic but he, 'thru his curosity,. made me a better Catholic because I had to go and research the answers for him . So I guess you could say the same thing happened to me and that was the Protestant made me a better Catholic

@@trevorjones8013 Actually Jesus DID say about Peter: "you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Why establish a church if he wanted it to be ignored???? Later, Jesus also told the apostles (speaking about correcting sinners) "If he reuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile, or a tax collector." If you were to actually understand each of those statements, you would have no doubt that you should revere the church as the only place you can go to find the divine TRUTH revealed by Jesus. That is why St. Paul writes (1 Tim 3:15) "if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth." Lastly, when giving the Great Commission, Jesus said "make disciples of all nations, baptizing them ... teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you." How do you think they have handed down all the teachings? Clearly it is through his church. God bless you.

Your story is very similar to mine, only I was the Protestant “girl” asking my cradle Catholic boyfriend at the time WHY he was Catholic and as he was kinda just going along with what he’d always done and I seemed to have a closer relationship with Christ and be more passionate about my faith, he definitely questioned it as well... but over the years I started to do some serious digging as my arguments against Catholicism based on what I’d been taught fell apart. I love Theology and Bible History so I dug deep and found some interesting and irrefutable truths. By now we were married and I was attending a Catholic Church with my husband and his family and started to feel like I was missing something. I recognized this as the one true church and finally realized that like Scott Hahn, putting off what you know God wants you to do is the same as disobedience so I entered RCIA and came into full communion with the Catholic Church in 2016. So glad I followed the path God placed me on! Thank you for sharing your story! I’ve been meaning to do the same because there are people like me out there asking questions I feel I need to answer as a convert.

Mary sure thought He was she says Luke 1:47..."my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, you don't need a savior if you are not a sinner, ask Jesus to show you, He will ! just a add on when Jesus says " I am "' that in the greek is "I, I am, " it is an enphatic statment !

Why wouldn't you think he had a relationship with Christ ? unless your decieved about Catholism. Yes we should have a relationship with Jesus and we should also cooperate with God' will and grace to be more easily shaped into the image of Jesus. Mary did say God my savior, not because she is a sinner but because she fully cooperated with God ' will, saw herself as God' servant, and also realized " From now on all generations will call me blessed. For the Mighty One has done great things for me. " Luke 1:48 Like any good mother suffers for their children's bad experiences, Mary also suffered tremendously as Jesus suffered. " and a sword will pierce even your own soul-- to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed." Luke 2:35 Release from purgatory is not only through Mass prayers but also through regular home prayers for the deceased. Only what is pure and holy will enter heaven and unfortunately some Christians have a habitual sin which may include condemning others and judging. This will require purification, possibly in purgatory. "Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny. " Matthew 5:26 It would be good and helpful if you do pick up a Catechism book and read over it to be better informed about Catholic teachings. Peace

By the way Sean Hussey, you laid that all out quite well & I am so proud of you. Giving testimoney is part of the faith & the apostolic process, however, please, if I may be so bold to suggest that you back it up with scripture for our Christian brother's. If not backed up, they don't deem it to be true even though I do realize it is only your testimony. Congratulations on your marriage & true return to God. ALL Catholics need to research & study so they realize the wealth of the Religion Jesus founded & entrusted to the Catholic Church through Peter. God bless.✌💖

We're a multiracial catholic couple living in Thailand and just enjoyed watching your great video story! We absolutely loved the twist ending and learned that the Protestant girl became your Catholic wife. We also loved the tease you put on her. Our assumption was she went off into her own life journey and stayed Protestant. How amazing it is which people come into our lives to transform us! Many blessings!

Nice testimony! I also loved discovering that the Bible is a Catholic book. I was that (Baptist) Protestant girlfriend when my Catholic now husband and I met. He was solid in his faith and already knew the Catholic Church was his home, but he didn’t push it on me. But I didn’t want he and I going to different churches and decided I better do some due diligence discerning where God wanted me. I was floored to find such logical and beautiful truths! Preconceived notions I’d been taught in childhood were shot down and I was hooked. And home. ♥️ My relationship with Our Lord is better for it, I’m convinced. My favorite thing was getting into devotions of the church that I just wasn’t taught before such as the Rosary and Stations of the Cross. Beautiful. Also, my husband is named Sean too, btw 😊

If you don't mind me asking, where do so many of these preconceived notions of the Catholic Church come from? Many are easy to refute from Scripture and Protestants are supposed to be the Sola Scriptura people. What we believe is in the Catechism and it is easily accessible online. At least they could disagree on the fact. Regardless, they are our Christian brothers and sisters. I pray that they come to know the truth as you did. God bless you, Sean and your family! Welcome home.

jbloe555 it’s probably mostly out hearsay and ignorance of what is actually taught. I don’t even mean willful ignorance, I mean most Protestants don’t really have reason or desire to even look into what the Catholic Church teaches. I didn’t until I met my husband. So they just hear a thing or two here and there. Maybe from their pastor or from an ex Catholic. And usually the ex Catholics were admittedly non practicing, so that isn’t a great source.

Try this website "The Berean Beacon" RC girls have converted to Islam because of a relationship. I am ex RC and it clear that Apostal Paul 2Cor 11/4 is addressing the Jesus of the RC church. It is not the same Jesus the Bible talks about I am reading from the KJV. Bible-believing Christians have been put to death for not believing in RC doctrine. All they had to do was recant to save themself. I can download memorials to some of those martyrs if it would do any good.

Bill/GR that was a very confusing comment... idk what history books you’ve been reading. Bible believing Christians put to death over doctrine? What year?

That makes no sense historically, theologically, or otherwise ???

The basis of the Catholic communion is wrong. How can you actually believe that something that looks, tastes, and feels like bread and wine, is the actual flesh and blood of Jesus. This is not a miracle. A miracle would be if it actually did taste like blood and flesh. Jesus also said to do this in remembrance of me, meaning it was done to commemorate and signify what Christ had done on the cross. The act of communion has no power to save. The Bible even states that if you are not saved/in the right state of faith and partake in this sacrament, you are bringing eternal damnation on yourself. Each time the catholic church performs the eucharist they believe that it cleanses sin because it technically crucifies Jesus “again” Jesus only needed to die once for the cleansing of sin of true believers. If this sacrifice needs to happen multiple times what is the point of the initial death on the cross?

Frank Ristaino what was a hard concept was not the fact of which involves flesh and blood, but that fact the Jesus was from heaven. Everyone believed he was a prophet, but not everyone believed he was God. It was also hard because After saying all this about the bread, Jesus stayed that no one can come to the Father unless the Father allows it. He told everyone that there are some of you who think are saved but definitely are not. They thought they can simply come to the Jesus and be saved, but this not true. God has chosen his electe from the beginning of time, it is hard truth to know that you may not be saved because God has not chosen you. This had nothing to do with flesh and blood

Just the simple fact that ROMAN catholics state that the bible is not authority enough should sound the alarm bells for you. EVERY false religion makes the claim that the bible is NOT enough and that something more is required - their interpretation, their direct connection and communication from God, their apostolic authority. The pattern fits quite well with Judaism ( the rabbinic traditions ), the Mormons ( Joseph Smith ), Jehovah's Witnesses ( Charles Taze Russell ), Roman Catholics ( the popes with their claim to apostolic succession and with the Pope at the top of the pile as their "father"), you can go on and on. Answer these questions for yourself - How can I be born again? or What must I do to inherit eternal life? Is baptism vital for salvation or is it simply an outward sign of what has already occurred in the believer's life? Where in the bible does it mention purgatory and gives a definition of it such that one can work one's way out of it or be bought out of it by paying indulgences? How can any normal human being be born sinless and remain sinless all their life? How can a woman give birth to one or more children and remain a virgin? Where in the bible does it tell Christians to pray TO Mary for intercession and where in the bible does it tell us strictly that there is only ONE intercessor between God and man ( yes, it is actually written in actual words - go find it). Where is it written - call no man father on earth because you only have ONE father -- go find that text too, it's vital for what you believe. Where does it tell us in the bible to pray TO so-called saints to intercede for us - this meaning the DEAD saints, not the ones living right with us right now ( all true Christians are saints, ALL of them, not just some special few ). Why is Mary given the title "Queen of Heaven"? Is that in the bible? Where in the bible does that term actually occur and in what context - that should really raise your alarm bells if nothing else has already. Don't fall for all the *_symbolism_* that makes it seem so reverent and religious - beware the leaven of the pharisees. Then lastly - call on some outside help - a different view of what the bible says ( after all how do you know that the papal interpretation of the bible is correct?): www.gty.org/library/sermons-library/43-12/the-blueprint-for-being-born-again kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5u8Yp14lMujos0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqjcimp4q7NpaNU

Because of that it made me more Catholic. I researched and watched Catholic Answers and read some books. And i am convinced that Catholicism is the only and true Church.

Great Story! I have a similar story that happened back around 1992 when I was separated from my wife and a neighbor of my Irish Catholic grandmother who lived near me as well gave me a Protestant Bible to read which at the time I wasn't sure why but in hindsight it must have been in an effort to help save my marriage. Having been a Catholic my whole life and not really trusting this Protestant Bible, I found my Catholic Bible from High School, dusted it off and read them both at the same time; a paragraph at a time. The Bible he gave me was called The Living Bible. As a result of reading the Bible I started to have many questions and we started meeting to read the Bible to try and answer some of these questions and we ended up having long discussions into the night. He was very knowledgeable about the Bible and he was about 10-15 years older than me too. About 2 years after we became friends he let me in on a little secret at the end of a Bible study that we had at my house with about 3 other friends of ours. He told me he was trying to convert me to be a Born Again Christian and was using all the Protestant anti-Catholic arguments during our discussions. I didn't really know any better so I just took him at his word at the time and then went and checked with local Catholic Priests to try and get some answers. I was surprised he told me this and asked why he was being so forthright with me. He said after many years of reading the Bible and looking at different Protestant religions and their beliefs, reading a few books on conversions(One being called "Surprised by Faith" by Patrick Madrid; which was about people from different religions converting to Catholicism) He decided to enroll in the RCIA program at a local Catholic Church in Boston and convert to become Catholic. I was completely shocked and didn't really believe that he was sincere. He had me on the fence at some points thinking the Catholic Church was run by the devil himself. He would sometimes pound his fist on the table at Bible study if anyone disagreed with him. That's how sure, adamant and belligerent he was about being a Protestant. He would frequently argue with members of my family at my grandmother's house about his Protestant beliefs and when real mad storm out of the house. Most of my family went to his baptism the following Easter Sunday at his request. He got married shortly after that, which was his 2nd or 3rd marriage and had 2 boys which he sent to Catholic Schools from kindergarten through High School. I really wasn't convinced he was serious about his conversion until his kids reached high school age and by then I figured that if he didn't believe there would be no way he would send his kids to a Catholic School their whole life. He passed away several years ago of cancer but his conversion certainly helped a lot to shore up my Catholic Faith which I am still learning about.

I met someone in college who found out I was Catholic, invited me to a Protestant Bible study, going into it I thought it would be just us getting together studying scripture and talking about God but what it really was turned out being a subtle attack on Catholicism, pointing me to certain bible verses, and a promotion of Sola Scriptura. This all led me to a ton of research and questioning my own faith and led to such a deeper understanding and appreciation for Catholicism. So I, like you, have a huge appreciation for those protestants who question us in our faith, it leads us to question it even more for ourselves and lead us to truth.

Awesome story brother! Mine differs a bit but the study, research and flu sings were the same! All roads lead to Rome! You gave me goosebumps when you said that Protestant young lady is now your wife and is a Catholic! We need more men strong in the faith! -Ad Jesum per Mariam

I love seeing other young Catholics passionate about the faith! Have you ever read anything by Dr. Brant Pitre? I recently discovered him and I’m constantly recommending his books to people. He writes on the Jewish roots of our Catholic beliefs and it’s fascinating. God bless you, brother. You’ve got a new subscriber!

Saturn Castillon I’ve just started listening to some of Steve Ray’s talks and they’re fantastic! I also just started a book called Salvation is from the Jews by Roy Schoeman and it’s packed with information. It’s promising to be an amazing read.

Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is the best book. That was an eye opener for me

So happy to see this Video bro! ❤️ My friend is also the reason why I became an active Catholic, because he condemned me about our Faith as Catholic. So I research and read the bible often, and each day, I can see why the Catholic Church is the one and only Catholic Church bro! 🙏

@FaithHopeGrace it's a long paragraph. I'd like to tell you, catholic faith is based and upon Jesus. If you attend to Mass you can see our faith ia on Jesus. I'd like to point out rhat one thing is Liturgy and another one is devotion, in your text both are mixed, and it's not easy to explain through this path the difference and how catholic Church speaks about them. I saw in your text you quoted some parts of cathesism and some of documents from enciclics, it's important to distinguish when Church speaks extra walls. I mean all depends on what Church wants to say or teach is going to be the way Church uses. In a short Church has the authority to interpret the Bible. Yes Church is the spouse of Jesus. Yes Church practices idolatry. No Jesus founded Catholic Church. Yes Church respect and honored Mary. Yes We believe in salvation in Christ unto His Church. Yes Thank you for your comments. I'd like to suggest Scott hahn videos. You will find more information there. God bless you

Wonderful testimony. Yes, we Catholics need to learn about our religion. That’s the reason why many leave the Catholic Church because of lack of knowledge 😢🙏
