My husband is an atheist and some days are difficult. I just keep on praying.

My wife constantly prayed for me when I was atheist/agnostic for several years. With her prayers I am now Catholic. Don’t give up! Pray the rosary!

My husband was atheistic for years. He still calls himself agnostic, but comes to Church every sunday, he even went twice on dec. 24 because the children were in the nativity play in the evening and I sang in the choir during midnight mass. The personal connection to God has not yet happened, but it's like seeing an onion peeled layer for layer. In the meantime, I need patience, it will haplen on his and gods time, not mine. At first it was really uncomfortable though. He was not at all at ease with my sudden conversion. He also was against getting the children baptised, and relnted mostly because the children themselves wanted it. After their baptism though, was when all the negativity startd to go away. He said he looked in the ritual for anything evil, the scam. But he simply did not find it.

I forgot the most important part: Don't give up hope. Pray. Look to Jesus! And through you, he may even me to the Lord himself. Women are like gateways. Think of Mary, through which the saviour came into the world. Try to be as much as our belovad Mother Mary as you can, and everything will be allright. Even if things seems dire

From a hardcore new ager, my mother's devotion to Mama Mary and the rosary led me back to being a devout Catholic. Take note, she never argued with me. Truly, the power of a praying parent can move mountains.

Also, don't forget that your husband has a guardian angel and your union also has a guardian angel. You can pray for their intercession too. 😊

I have a friend who left the catholic church 2 years ago. I still consider her a good friend because she is a nice person and I value her presence in my life. As Catholics we must love one another as Christ loves us , even when it seems hard.

Actions always have and always will speak louder than words. There are some non-Catholics who will definitely watch your every move. And through your actions, some non-Catholics will definitely look into Catholicism and what it’s all about. But there some, and no matter what you do, you could even raise the dead, and still, they won’t get it! Pride runs very deep in the hearts of many. And Jesus said, “ if the world hates you, remember, the world hated me first” Great video Keith! You said what needed to be said in 7 minutes, keep these informative videos coming! Have a Great Epiphany weekend!

I find lapsed catholics really offensive at times . Members of my extended family take Our Lords name in vain regularly . In my own household it is not allowed . I was trying to find a suitable mass to go to last Monday and my sister was practically mocking me . I really feel people don’t understand what they are saying and doing . I need more strength to stand up for my faith . Some people who I don’t see anymore deliberately goad me taking Our Saviours name in vain . I have distanced myself from a good few people because of this . Thank you Keith 🙏🏻

Thank you for the encouraging words Mr. Nestor. I was a protestant for about 30 years with heavily involved in serving from ushering to teaching. But during Covid Churches closed so during that time I began to study the history of the church, and I became orthodox about one year ago. Unfortunately, due to my faith, I have lost 95% of my protestant friends who think I have Apostasized. I knew this was going to be challenging to my life. I miss the fellowship with them. But looking forward to better things. Thanks again for the encouragement.

A dear friend of mine from college is ex-Catholic agnostic. Several close family friends are "Bible Christians" who have a deep distrust of the Catholic faith. My husband has a "bromance" going on with an athiest co-worker. We focus on what we have in common. We don't change who we are, we don't ask them to change, we simply love them. It's worked out so far.

My Grandparents came to the United States at the turn of the century. I have worked and lived in other counties even Muslim Countries and never experienced hatred like I experienced in the United States. My neighbors want me to attend their Protestant Church and tell me I am not a Christian. As a nurse patients tell me everyday how they hate Catholics when they see my tiny crucifix. No Jewish, Muslim or Hindu patient has told this to my face only Protestants. Muslims have prayed with me at my Fathers funeral our Baptist friends refused to attend the funeral because it was evil!

So sorry you’ve gone through this. As a former evangelical wanting to become Catholic, I feel your pain.none of my family members or in-laws are Catholic. They’re all very anti Catholic and my parents thinks Catholics don’t read the Bible or have faith. I’ll be honest, it is very frustrating and it’s a cross I’m learning to bear. The worst part is when they aren’t even open to having a charitable discussion but instead want to be superior in their knowledge of Bible. Even as an evangelical, I always regarded Catholics as my Christian brothers and sisters. One of my in-laws repeatedly tells me the gospel since they are now convinced I believe the false gospel of salvation by works. I really try my hardest to explain that that’s not so but some people just don’t want to hear it. Prayers to you 🙏❤️

@arthurgrey8967 12 күн бұрын

There is so much truth there. I've never personally felt hatred from a Jew, muslim, or from members of any other faith. I sincerely think the issue isn't the nature of the individuals being different. But Catholicism seems more threatening in the sense that if Catholicism is correct, then what they think is a lie. And the stakes are the highest possible. That precipitates a strong need to denigrate everything and everyone associated with it. I doubt they care nearly as much about other faith differences in such a passionate manner. Yes they think they're invalid, but so clearly so that they aren't threatened by them.

Keith is right. In most cases it is very tempting to fall in the trap of arguing and wanting to make a point, especially when you want to make the point of the Catholic Church being the true Church.

I always start the conversation with "do you really want to continue living your life as a filthy protestant?" So far my results have gone poorly to say the least. And although they say even a broken clock is right twice, that does not seem to be an appropriate analogy for my words. But in all seriousness my in-laws are very against the Catholics. Which is unfortunate because I'll be joining the church on Easter.

My own daughter hates the Catholic Church and got really pissed off when I converted. She said they are all going to hell. I asked what made her think that and she said she was told that at her (Baptist) church. I was told not to even take the grandkids to the Catholic church with me. All of this is not due to her own study, but she is taught this at church. Really sad.

@itinerantpatriot1196 9 ай бұрын

I'll be honest, I was away from the Church for many years so I sort of dismissed the Catholic-bashing or didn't think it really ran that deep. I tried several Protestant churches before coming home and truthfully, there was no Catholic-bashing going on at any of those places either. Now, I purposefully avoided Baptist services and stuck pretty much to the non-denominational churches. I found a whole lot of Catholic-bashing online. I heard a sermon by John Macarthur where he trashed our Blessed Mother. I can't get my head around it. Grudges held by Calvin and Luther persist to this day. Amazing. Most of my family and long-term friends don't attend church. Most are far far more liberal than I am. But it's been that way for years and we still love one another. I guess the idea that we weren't supposed to like one another just never occurred to us. Solid advice given here in this video though. Matching hate for hate never ends well. Medgar Evers put it best: “When you hate, the only person that suffers is you because most of the people you hate don't know it and the rest don't care.”

Thanks for the video. It’s an important message and I agree. This 💯 pertinent for where I am now. When my sister asks what I’m listening to (because I was in a road trip this week) and I told her The Catechism in a Year, it was ‘crickets’. I want to be casual but clear about how I’m continuing to study and grow in my faith, even (especially) since I’ve taken the Catholic ‘turn’ and in RCIA. In a small town and being Non-Denom for 32 years, it’s meaning a major change and having to make some changes in my friend circle.

@burkeiowa 9 ай бұрын

The composition of one's friends is always interesting. Some people seek only like-minded people, while others have variety. In the OT, we see God trying to protect his people by having them only marry within the faith and generally keeping them set aside from others. It reminds me of childhood, where parents try to keep away bad influences in times when the conscience is being formed. But in the NT, we see Jesus calling for evangelization, and he eats with tax collectors and ministers to the Gentiles. When we mature a bit in our faith, we should be engaging people of other faiths at least by having several of them as friends. It helps to still keep a core group of friends of one's own faith, since it is said that the five friends you are the closest to tend to greatly shape who you are.

@burkeiowa 9 ай бұрын

I remember praying for non-Catholic friends before I headed off to college, and the main people I met early on were non-Catholic. Midway through college, I realized I wanted more Catholic friends again, and prayed for that, and met some of the best Catholic friends I would know for several years. When I was about to move to where I live now, I prayed again for non-Catholic friends, since I felt the balance had swung a bit much in the one direction. I became friends with people of much different faith. But again, I prayed for Catholic friends after a while, and met some more amazing Catholic friends. In hindsight, it seemed backwards. I should have started with those to support my faith, and then those who have the other faiths. I still like how it turned out. I'm often amazed when I find people who seem to only know people of their own faith.

With friends and especially family, that are serious about their faith is where it is really difficult. I also, once a protestant for a longtime was knocked off my horse and led to become Catholic. It was an easy transition. Truth seen, is tuth embraced...if...we actually love truth. As time passes and I've learned the tragic difference and vast chasm between the protestant revolt and His true Church, trepidation set in with a vengeance. Trepidation for their salvation, if they knowingly and obstinantely refuse to see. But trust in Him who is the Lover of souls has grown, and now i have embraced this cross of sorrow, i look to prayer for my best weapon to help them and myself. It is a daily struggle that meets me each day, but one that i daily embrace, and the peace, joy, and hope take control. . Thanks for your words Keith. A great time of harvest is upon us and special graces are active. Many are seeing the light. . Thanks again!

I heard Brian Holdsworth say that we shouldn’t be friends with non Christians, I think his reason was along the lines of not interacting with people who would lead us into sin or those who would compromise our faith, I believe he cited 2 Corinthians 6:14 “Do not be yoked with those who are different, with unbelievers. For what partnership do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?” I don’t know what to think on this matter, what are your thoughts on this Edit: I found the video, it’s titled “Should Christians be friends with non-Christians”

Stay strong sister. My husband was raised jehovah’s witness turned atheist, very skeptical of religion and anti-catholic due to his upbringing in a cult. Didn’t even like when I hung up a crucifix above our door. He now believes in the triune God (JWs don’t believe Jesus is God). He is finally coming around and asked if we can pray a rosary for his brother that passed. He’s not Catholic and still resistant to be part of a religion but seems to embrace it more. Even participated in Christmas mass. Glory to God! Little by little.

Just by the way Keith. When you say "my faith", do you mean, primarily, your faith in the Roman Catholic Church, or your faith in the Son of God? And I, as a believer in the Son of God, find it impossible to believe in the Roman Church. Also, when Jesus said, "You are Petros, and upon this Petra I will build my Church", he most definitely was speaking of Himself and Peter's statement of faith in Him as the Rock upon which he would build His Church. Regarding Matthew 16:18, this is what these Church Fathers had to say: "... for, ‘Thou art Peter’ and not ‘Thou art the rock’ was said to him. But ‘the rock was Christ,’ in confessing whom, as also the whole Church confesses..." Saint Augustine "He did not say upon Peter for it is not upon the man, but upon his own faith that the church is built. And what is this faith? You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Saint John Chrysostom And Eusebius, Origen, Jerome, Basil of Seluecia, Hillary, Ambrosiaster, Epiphanius, Theodoret, Cyril of Alexandria and many many other Church Fathers all said that the "Rock" was either Christ himself or Peter's Confession of Christ. "If our interpretation of Matthew 16 follows the cues of the Church Fathers, then we will not arrive at an interpretation that is favorable to the Roman Catholic interpretation of Matthew 16, that is - the Papacy... For the Church Fathers, the rock upon which the Church was built, fundamentally, was Jesus Christ the Son of God" Gavin Ortlund And even if you don't agree I would invite you to watch Gavin Ortlund on Truth Unites; "Why I Don't Accept the Papacy" One other thing. I am not a troll. I am a believer in Jesus Christ the son of God and I sincerely believe what I write. And may the Lord bless you and yours in the Name above all names. And, in Matthew 18:18 Jesus says to the other disciples: "Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." Matthew 18:18 Kinda sounds like the same thing as in Matthew 16:19 doesn't it?

I invite my own fake trad friends to talk about our differences but they refuse. Now and then, one of them will send a group text to bash the pope and I always defend the Faith and i tell them to stop sinning agaibst the 8th commandment, the sin of slander.

If they hate your faith and love you, you either aren't a good catholic or they don't know well or at all what your faith is really about.

I believe the Roman Catholic faith is damnable. I hate their faith, but I do have Roman Catholic friends and care for them.

My Christian friend who is not Catholic has told me she has seen me grow in my Faith since I returned to my Catholic Faith. She is very supportive and was raised Jewish. She even gave me a silver heart bowl to put my rosary in. But there are few like her. I remember hearing lots of Catholic bashing from the pulpit when I was Protestant.

When the “friend” that absolutely hates the Catholic faith is your spouse none of these suggestions will work, ever! When a person is not allowed to be Catholic because the spouse won’t tolerate it, and God doesn’t care, you just give up and say, oh well, whatever. There are many other churches to choose from when you are not allowed to be Catholic and God seems to be totally ok with that. At least in my life. I may want to be Catholic but I realistically realize that I will NEVER be Catholic and God is ok with this. I thought maybe I could get some insight with this video, but that’s not in God’s will. This is a good video for some people but not for me.
