@@MomJeansReads You should not delay in enrolling in the RCIA so you can receive Jesus in the Eucharist sooner and eat with me as well as my other brothers and sisters across the world at the sacrificial table of the altar. Jesus tells us he will be a cause for division even among spouses, family members, and friends for those who follow him. Don’t be aggressive with your husband but still continue to obey the Holy Spirit leading you into the Catholic Church. There are many encouraging testimonies from the saints and even Saint Paul in the Scriptures where one spouse was a Catholic believer and the other was not either Paul telling the believing spouse to win over the other by their gentleness and deep witness to the Catholic Faith. Saint Monica for example is one such saint whose husband was a Roman pagan and atheist who at the end of his life before death was baptized because of her witness as a Catholic and their son, Saint Augustine of Hippo.

Im in RCIA this year. Im a cradle Catholic that went astray in my late teens. Was encountered by God at 29 and went Protestant. Did calvanism for first 5 years and charismatic until this year in March when I was led back you the Catholic Church . I’m 43 and married with 3 kids . My wife who’s still pondering all this change accepted getting our marriage convalidated ( happened in sep 2024) but is still not sure about all this change for her. I’m praying she gets a revelation and that I’m able to bring my 3 kids into the church too. So far it’s only me to be confirmed this coming Easter 2025.

I don’t know the dynamics with your marriage but you are the shepherd of the family’s souls as head of the family to do what’s spiritually best. I just get the impression that one thing you could do in your case is keep going forward and try to get your children and wife into Catholic Mass with you like my mother and father did with me. Only the Holy Spirit leads us into the Catholic Church not by force but by his gentle burning love and in the same way perhaps your wife may be more receptive if she sees how important this is to you and the family.

Wow... welcome to God's true Church, the Catholic church. Sometimes when you come to a Catholic church, some members will not be very welcoming, coming from your protestant background however know that the Catholic church is the HOUSE of God , not the priest or the members. Jesus as you see is on the cross as always to show HIS love for humanity, Jesus went to the cross because of HIS LOVE. No greater Love as JESUS said for a man to put His life on the cross for HIs love ones. Jesus is always waiting for you to come in and accompany HIM in HIS HOUSE., the Catholic church. So when you go to a Catholic church and no one seems to welcome or look at you, don't worry Jesus is looking at you and thankful that you came in to participate in the MASS that HE offered to GOD the Father for humanity. One thing more, so many luke warm Catholics are always late and leave church just after receiving Christ in the Eucharist, it is because they do not understand the mass. Every part of the MASS has grace into it like the beginning of the mass when the priest tells the members to recall their venial sins that they committed that week followed by asking God's mercy. Catholics take it for granted being late and miss it when it is crucial to receive Jesus in communion. Sorry for the long narrative. I am just forewarning you of how luke warm Catholics seem to be, insulting our Lord of their behaviors in HIS HOUSE..sorry but I do commit those mistakes too from time to time. As a born Catholic and church goer all my life except for a 3 year period when I got mad at God because of my brokenness, it is only when I was in my 50's that I understood what the MASS is all about and why saints love it very much.

God doesn’t glorify himself and demand we bow down and worship him rather we glorify God and give Him his due respect and praise and sing hymns with the angels of God’s mercy that the saints sought and received thanking and praising God forever. It’s not what we get out of Mass but thank you Jesus for allowing me to come to the table of sinners with my brethren and eat with you while receiving you.

As Christians it has developed into things done to force the will of God to convey grace upon us by our actions.

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me." {John 6:56-57) The Catholic Church was established by Jesus himself when he anointed Peter as leader of his apostles.

There is a book I came across a year back that recommends other books for you to read, as opposed to you buying them all up and discovering whether they are for you or not (yet). It's called '100 Books to read before the four last things' by 'Marie I. George' It covers a wide array of spiritual reading on different topics that should guide you pretty well. After listening to your video (I'm halfway through), it's clear your heart is drawn towards Christ in the Eucharist. So, in that spirit I should recommend you a small book called 'How to get more from Holy Communion' by 'St Peter Julian Eymard' Also there's 2 books by TAN publishing that you'd like not covered by the 1st book i mentioned. Manual for Eucharistic Adoration A Year with the Eucharist You mentioned your husband was going to be a pastor. If he's interested in a much more theological understanding, then there's a great book called 'The Eucharist' by 'Lawrence Feingold' Its a gold mine of Eucharistic understanding across the entire history of the Church.

[@lebell79]

I experienced shock, horror, anger and grief once I realised the RCC was right all along. shock because I was intellectually lazy and never checked out what the RCC actually is and teaches, instead relying on what I was fed as a protestant child. horror and anger to realise the magnitude of the lies perpetrated by people like Luther and Calvin, altering Holy scripture according to their own beliefs, a power the pope doesnt even remotely wield. grief for the hundreds of thousands of sincere protestants who believe in Christ as our Saviour but have been lied to by malicious heretics and have lived and died never experiencing the fullness of the faith, but instead had to deal with the nonsensical, combative and ignorant protestant culture.

[@EmbracingTradition100]

I experienced a lot of the same emotions. Thank you for sharing this! I can relate very much!

[@RitaGatton]

I think that the nonsense comes from the validation of individual interpretation of Sacred Scripture. I heard on a video of a Protestant Church that taught that, because the Bible says to "Baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" and that Saint Peter baptized in the name of Jesus, that Jesus was the same as the Father and Holy Spirit. If a Catholic ever said that, everyone around him or her would immediately be shocked and correct him or her.

[@lebell79]

@@RitaGatton yes, a lot of protestants claim to know the bible, that they read it a lot, problem is, they fundamentally do not understand the texts they read over and over. a good example is that they think veneration of the Blessed Virgin is unbiblical, and that her being immaculata is nonsense. This shows they cherrypick being literal ( generations will call me blessed) and that they don't think basic theology through ( original sin, Jesus being also fully man, so Mary couldn't have been born with original sin, lest Christ would have it too). They think that deducing scripture means adding to it. And the most hilarious complaint is the RCC being "manmade religion", whereas it are the protestants who lack the Eucharist and worship and spend the majority of sunday worshiplistening to the interpretation of a minister with dubious authority at best. If that isn't manmade I do not know what is.

[@Justyouraverageguy172]

@@lebell79 I know what you mean. Even though I am a cradle Catholic, my parents never taught me the faith except getting me to Church and Confirming me. The priests taught me over the years at Catholic school and University. For laziness, the sin of sloth was being lazy with taking my relationship with God seriously and actually praying outside of Church and reading more about the Faith including spending time with the Holy Spirit in Scriptures (Lectio Divinia) . For horror it was idolizing my intellect, understanding of Scriptures, and knowledge of the Catholic faith making it all about myself than the Holy Spirit who gave me such gifts in the first place. Thus I committed the sin of vanity as Lucifer did in the beginning and have been working on keeping this pride away. For anger we are the same because i even explain the Truth of the Catholic Faith to Protestants online in places like here and in person losing my patience with them asking how they can’t see and open their minds to the logical reasoning and theological arguments of Protestantism falling short. Ultimately it’s the Holy Spirit that leads us to the Catholic Church and we can’t force others to convert as I learned.

[@stever4181]

I was married to a Catholic for 18 years. I have been to many masses and thought that Catholicism was just another version of Christianity so we were married in the RCC. Then I started to STUDY scriptures and what the RCC stated. I will NEVER attend another Mass. Much of what the RCC states is not scriptual but man-made. I do not hate Catholics but will speak out against the RCC and its deception. As for my wife of 18 years... narcissism and husband beating come to mind along with protection orders against her. I am not saying her Catholic upbringing is the problem. Her upbringing in a violent very dysfunctional family does. I am remarried to a wonderful Christian Lady for 30 years. My suggestion to anyone is put religions on the back burner and study scriptures apart from religions. That will lead you to Jesus.

[@EmbracingTradition100]

I’m very sorry for your horrible experience. Unfortunately, thinking that you can come to scripture without the backdrop of religion is not real. No one comes to the scripture neutral. We all come with the underlying interpretations we’ve been given. Whether it be from religious upbringing or from our culture. I trust that the two Christian traditions that are still going after 2k years, EO and Catholicism, know a lot more and have a better understanding of what the Bible is saying and what the church should be teaching. The Bible says that the church is the pillar and foundation of the truth. I wish you well and pray that God will show you the truth. Have a blessed day. 😊

[@stever4181]

@@EmbracingTradition100 The Bible also states that the church is the believers in Christ. Matthew 16:18. The word 'church' is written over 115 times in the NT and Never refers to any religious organization such as the RCC. I will agree that if a person only reads the Bible they can come aways from it with their own interpretation. That is why I study the Language it was written in, the times it was written, the culture and customs, to who it was written and why. I then will look at scriptures as a whole not a passage on its own Religions, especially the RCC rely upon man's traditions as equal to God's word and scriptures states just the opposite. Further there is no mention in scriptures of the RCC which states Jesus started it. This is a lie at worst and a deception at best. As an example where do we first see Jesus in the Bible?

[@EmbracingTradition100]

@@stever4181 I’m not trying to be disrespectful in any way, but the tradition you seem to have such a disdain for, is the only way you have a canon to read in the first place. The church was visible in Paul’s time and it is visible now. You’re creating a dichotomy that isn’t real. The church is a body not a spirit. Bodies are visible. Paul commends his readers to believe oral and written tradition and the early church fathers clearly did not believe in a non visible church. It had structure and even in its infancy it had the sacraments.

[@stever4181]

@@EmbracingTradition100 Tell me how do I have a Bible to read today? Was it by man or by God? Catholics seem to think it was by man, the RCC. I believe it was by God. If you pray for healing for someone and that person is healed was it you or God that did the healing? The same is true of how the Bible was compiled. Was it man or God for if it is man then God is removed from it and is a false book. If it was God then the credit is given to God not the RCC. Can you see the difference. Yet all I ever hear from Catholics is the RCC (man) developed the Bible. When did I say that the 'church' was a spirit. I said it is those who believe in Jesus as Messiah the Son of God that is his church. Matt 16:16 Those traditions that Paul talkes about where later written down and are the same as what he said. They are not something other than what he and other writers wrote. The RCC has added to what was written and in some cases removed or changed what was written. Disdain: I am also no fan of JWs, Mormons, Prosperity, New Age, or Scientology religions either. They do not represent the true meaning of Scriptures. Yet Catholics will place them in the same boat as Christian Churches that follow the Bible. If disdain means a dislike for those who falsify God's word then I am guilty. Did not Jesus do the same thing with the Pharisees!

[@EmbracingTradition100]

@ You seem to be contradicting yourself in the first paragraph. The Catholic Church teaches exactly what you referenced in regard to prayer. It is both man and God. The Bible didn’t fall from the sky. It was codified by the church councils. How do you know which books are scripture? The only plausible answer to that question is that the tradition of the church gave it to us. When you refer to the church as “believers” you have reduced the meaning of church down to a spiritual reality and not a physical one. It’s the Protestant doctrine of the invisible church without a visible institution. Paul exhorts his listeners to believe in oral tradition. You seem to be trying to make the case that everything Paul believed and taught is written. That’s just not true.

[@Capitainadock]

Your testimony is striking. There are some things that I have noticed, it is that Catholics are not always looking for what is wrong in others. The dimension of faith in a single Church is an immeasurable gift but it is difficult for many to realize it. However, this foundation is essential and a personal approach without the Church and its respected authority is like a drop of water in an ocean of procession. The Church needs its faithful to be in unison. For this, Catholicism offers this universality Certainly relative but real. The sacraments also help each one to grow spiritually for God without going astray. Finally, I can only advise you of the benefits of the daily Rosary and its mysteries.

​@@Justas399 What does Jesus mean then when He says "You [Peter] are rock and on this rock I will build my Church"? He then gives Him the keys to the kingdom, explains that they are meant for binding and loosing, and then tells him, three times, to feed His lambs, feed His sheep. Protestantism has no viable explanation for any of this to the extent that they must be just a bunch of wasted, meaningless words. The "There's no 'Pope' in the Bible!!!!" "exposé" of the Catholic postion on this is always the NEGATIVE postion, "This doesnt mean what Catholics say it mans!!" but they never provide an affirmative position of what it DOES mean. The closest Ive seen anyone get to it is the whole goofball "small stone", "big pebble" convoluted Rube Goldberg contraption theory that ultimately, by saying that Peter was the rock He was building the Church on, was that He was saying He was building the Church on....Himself! This is all just so self-contradictory! Because there are Popes, Patriarchs and Bishops in the Catholic Church, there is authority, and a way to resolve problems in the Church. This is a gift Jesus gave to us because He knows that without it, things go off the rails and just fall apart and end up in a morass of constant fighting in its absence. Even when those Popes, Patriarchs, Bishops are bad people, the Holy Spirit guides the Church and even those problems are overcome. So please, inform us once and for all, what does Jesus ACTUALLY mean?

True followers of Yeshua the Christ follow his teachings and the teachings of his Father. No where in the true scripture do we call the Father ‘god” God and Jesus are names brought in 330AD by the Roman Empire. Research the very first pagan religion of ancient Babylon under Nimrod and there you have it’s modern version - the Catholic Church.
