My Protestant Arrogance and my Parent's Catholic example of Humility & Love

[@pietropanetta3329]

Thank you so much for sharing such a personal story about your relationship with your parents. It moved me deeply, and reminded me of my own relationship with my parents: how I thought I knew better than them. They were both semi-literate immigrants who worked hard doing manual work and only wanted the best for us. They were both Catholics and my mother in particular was very devout, never wavering in her faith. She accepted the teaching of the Church with 'humility and docility' - to use your lovely phrase. After a lifelong intellectual odyssey away from the Church, in the end it was her example which brought me back. Sadly, both my parents are no longer with us for me to thank them - but I regularly pray for them instead. Thank you again for your touching story, in which the personal example of your parents, rather than 'theology' was the main reason you returned to Mother Church. God bless you!

[@CONTEMPLATINGCATHOLICISM-CR]

Thank you for sharing your story and the character of your parents. Humility and Docility and the absence of arrogance was a big part of what made that generation so great along with their strong work ethic.

[@thomasrhinehart6084]

I needed to read this , as a recent convert my desire to proselytize non-catholics is a carry over from my protestant days, the humility and docility really makes all that bible thumping take a back seat, I need to let Jesus work through me and step out of the way, and be faithful to mother church and the sacraments.

[@CONTEMPLATINGCATHOLICISM-CR]

Many times we need wisdom when to say nothing and demonstrate the gospel and when people see Christ in us they may start asking why we are different and then be ready to articulate the hope we have in Christ. May God bless your witness!

Hearing about your dad around the 7:15 mark got me a little emotional, I must admit. I love the humble wisdom of honest people. My dad was not like that at all and I pray for his soul constantly but I have to accept that he may or may not be in heaven, only God knows where he ended up. However, it sounds like there's little question about where a stalwart Christian like your father ended up and I hope more people can be blessed to have wonderful parents like yours. I'm just a baby Catholic, only baptized last Easter. But strong testimonies and thoughtful apologetics is so good for everyone. Thank you for this video, brother!

[@carakerr4081]

The reception of the Sacraments which are only valid in the Roman Catholic Church results in deep grace of humility within the Christian soul. The Sacrament of Penance offers deep grace and humility. This is the difference between my 10 years as a Protestant and now being Catholic for 9 months as a revert the Holy Spirit is the working through the reception of the Sacraments to increase virtue and holiness and heal vice - pride, judgmentalism, greed, fear etc. As a Protestant I lived in active mortal sin because they did not offer me the Sacraments. It’s that simple 🙏❤️🙏God bless you ❤️❤️

[@FiatVoluntasTuaAmen]

The Sacraments are valid in all rites of the Catholic Church, not only the Roman rite. In fact baptism can be valid even in non-Catholic churches

As a reconverted Catholic myself after 52 years of misguidedness in the “non-denominational faith”. My Monsignor confessor told me something I’ve heard as a child and I’m sure you must have as well given our ages; “Once a catholic…always a catholic!”. We appear to be living testaments to the truth of that statement if I may be so bold. You are doing fine work here! May God bless you mightily and may you have the “faith of a child”, like your parents, which is truly one of the greatest gifts we could ever have.

If only, as a young man, I had learned to keep my mouth shut. Instead, I ignored the teaching of 1 Corinthians 13:1-2: If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.

3:27 All Graces come from the merits of Jesus Christ and through the hands of Mary. Every single grace to we receive comes through the hands of Mary. Mary is so full of grace that the graces overflow to us from her. The graces are from Jesus Christ though, and every Catholic understands this.

[@Davcramer]

The Bible tells us that Enoch was assumed into heaven body and soul (like Mary) even though he wasn't a Christian OR a Jew. Elijah was assumed body and soul even though he wasn't a Christian. And we know that Moses is in heaven because of the Transfiguration even though he also wasn't a Christian. God has his own criteria for who he desires to have with him in heaven. I do my best not to judge others as to who is a good Christian and who isn't, who God loves, and who God does not. But sometimes it's hard not to argue theology even though proper theology undoubtedly matters more to us than it does to God.

[@HAL9000-su1mz]

I have been taught, and understand the scriptures to say that God took Enoch - it did not say where. And the scripture is very cryptic. We may assume heaven, but heaven was closed until Christ ascended. The same with Elijah, he was carried into 'heaven", which can mean simply the sky above - the "light of heaven" as it was known in Tobit. Christ Himself said that no one had ascended except Him who had first DEscended. John 3:13. As to the Transfiguration, it seems both Moses and Elijah had to appear from Sheol, or the abode of the righteous dead. Could it be that they were messengers of the Messiah to those holy souls in spirit prison (1 Peter 3:19), as Peter wrote?

[@albertaowusu3536]

You are not Elijah darling. Jesus came to show us the way. If you want to go to heaven, follow Him and His Church 😊

[@tony1685]

Bible doesn't say Mary was assumed. understanding God's doctrine isn't bad, it's how we understand His ways. did you know, catholicism actually mandates sin? it's what the Bible shows us.

[@wednesdayschild3627]

​​@@tony1685the ark of the covenant is the foreshadowing of st. MARY . If you read Revelation, you see the ark is in heaven. Then you see the woman who is giving birth and she escapes from the dragon/serpent. St. Mary is also the icon of the church. She flees into the wilderness and God helps her. The ark was never found. There is no tomb of st. Mary.

[@tony1685]

@AS-np3yq So, pretending to eat human flesh and drinking human blood is what you like? ROFL. And why need to confess "sins" to a man, rather than directly to this god? You poor dears can't even agree on what your imaginary friend considers a "sin", or what morals it wants.

[@CRIM479]

Triumphalism is a big problem. It's off-putting to those in and outside the Church. We should focus on who we are rather than who we are not. Converts from evangelical sects often import the fingerwagging approach still employed in those traditions. Love, humility, hope and service should be the beacons of the faith and serve as the invitation to its practice. The wars of religion in the West are over. Good riddance.

[@CONTEMPLATINGCATHOLICISM-CR]

Indeed the cross is an invitation to a service of sacrificial love and compassion to the poor, needy and marginalized in the world.
