From Protestant to Catholic w/ Lila Rose 

Awesome! You won't regret it. The deeper you dig the more sense it makes😍.

I pray God will see your sincere heart seeking Christ wherever He is. Take your time to pray and study, but I think both will show you that the Catholic Church is the Church founded by Jesus Christ for the salvation of mankind, where you can receive Him truly in His Body and Blood. Welcome home!

Praying for you ❤️

Make that step by faith, sign up for the RCIA classes (right of Christian initiation for adults) in the nearest Catholic Church. It is an awesome place to learn about Catholic faith, and you can always back out of it, it's a process. I'm a convert from protestantism, and when I joined the RCIA, I was praying that God would give me a reason why I SHOULDN'T become a Catholic. Obviously, it didn't happen, LoL, -He took away my last doubts. A year later my husband converted as well. We are Home now together! Please, don't hesitate, this is that pearl of great price Jesus was talking about, worthy of giving away everything else. ❤️ God bless!

Praying!

Praying for you both 🙏🙏🙏

I have not heard a single story of a protestatn convert to Catholicism and regret it. "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe" St. Agustine. God bless you.

Friend, it is not Catholism you desperately need, it is Jesus. Open your Bible, read the teachings of Jesus and all scriptures, practice them, while emulating the life of Jesus. Above all pray to receive the Holy Spirit, who will "guide you in all truths." Jesus was not a Catholic or neither did He claim to be a part some religion. He said, "unless a man be born again he will not see the kingdom of heaven." Again, he said, "unless a man is born again of water (baptized), and the Spirit (receive the Holy Spirit), he will not enter heaven." I was Catholic, never read my bible, neither did I understand what it meant to be born again of water & the Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, no one can receive a new life in Christ, in which case he will not enter heaven. This teaching is not taught in the Catholic church, which means many Catholics will not enter heaven.

SORRY TO HEAR YOU HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD THE GOSPEL,WHICH IS NOT TAUGHT BY THE R.C.CHURCH. I knew a Baptist minister who was not converted until he had been a minister 9 years. Then he heard the true gospel from another minister, what Peter preached was believe ,repent and then be baptised. Look up the horrendous history of the Roman church ,they killed the baptists for being baptised as adults, murderers do not inherit the kingdom.

@@robertokello5201 How do you know what Jesus taught without the apostolic and church fathers? Are your ideas found in the early days of the Church?

God bless you dear.. welcome home,,🌹

Congratulations, Welcome Home!

kdonelson look up it's real history ,the last woman burnt at the stake in my town was murdered for saying she did not believe in transubstantiation. They killed thousands for similar reasons .That shows they were not even Christians .The leadership was power and riches seeking.

@@rhwinner Thank you.

Jayson...please read www.monergism.com/my-sheep-hear-my-voice-canon-self-authenticating

Jayson these things are taught by Catholics but are not true.The first thing is they do not preach the gospel ,which you should have heard in any church like a baptist one.

@@wendymitchell8245 Hi, can you tell define what the Gospel is, and how Catholics don't teach it?

@@patrickoconnor9700 The first Gospel message was Acts. 2. when Peter opened the door of the kingdom ,the church. He did this by first preaching to the Jews who were there for Pentecost. He starts by saying this was prophesied by Joel and then tells them about Jesus v. 22.how he was approved of God by signs and miracles as they knew. ,v25 mentions David's prophecy. that Jesus would be raised from the dead.v.36. God hath made that same Jesus WHOM YE HAVE CRUCIFIED ,both Lord AND CHRIST. They clearly believed as their reaction was what shall we do? Peter said REPENT and be baptized , for the remission of sins. .,and you will receive the Holy Spirit . And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and fellowship and breaking of bread ,and in prayers. So as the Apostles preached and wrote they were taught. THE EUNUCH asked Philip to explain Isaiah's prophecy to him and he was told Jesus had fulfilled it.He said what prevented him from being baptised .He was told 'IF YOU BELIEVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART.' Not the water will save you .So the gospel is believe and repent. That cannot be done for someone else.Nor did he say only the church at Rome will be the right church.Join that one as soon as it starts.The first one was at Jerusalem .The British church started in 37 A.D. according to the British Historian Gildas 516 . Cement said Paul visited the furthest limits of the West .Eusebius also said Paul went to Britain.My point is the Roman church's claims to be the first and only church is fiction.Jerusalem was first AND THE CITY WAS DESTROYED .A.D.70.

@@wendymitchell8245 Thank you for your reply Wendy, I found it interesting. Doesn't history point the Catholic church in the direction of being the oldest church? It would be up there as the closest to the first century church, that together with the writings of what the church fathers positions on things were. You're saying Paul travelled to Britain? I've never heard that, I find it interesting. Do you know of any records?

Read, study, listen to debates, listen to dialogue, learn early church history, listen to more conversion stories. Learn about all the mass rites you get to enjoy as a Catholic. No rush, the Catholic church is not going anywhere. And if you're guided to the Catholic church...well..WELCOME HOME.

If you can, GO to an Opus Dei center, like Lila did! You'll love it! People is SO NICE, they're, to put it that way, like HIGH PROFILE PROFESSIONALS of the faith and everyone is SO committed to help you personally! You'll be able to have long talks with a priest to express your doubts and concerns and that's so enriching, priests are usually very busy, and Opus Dei priests are too, but they have this great commitment to person-to-person follow up and care. Where do you live? I can help you find one center near home or get in contact with somebody! They've helped me SO MUCH, I wouldn't have the joy of faith I have if I haven't found Catholicism through Opus Dei!

I don’t think your dad’s soul went to hell if he was a good person as you said he was. Most Catholics and specially Protestants believe that if one is not a totally religious person and he’s not following the rules of the church by the letter, he’s going to hell. Nobody knows that. God knows the heart of the person and He knows if that person was looking for Him but in the wrong direction, He will save the person’s soul the last minute of his/her life. God’s mercy is beyond comprehension…

@@margokupelian344 You have no understanding of the N.T. Teaching or why Jesus had to die. All have sinned and separated themselves from God .NO ONE IS GOOD ,God judges us on our sins ,He said 'all have sinned'. Rom. 3.23. Therefore he will judge all for their wrong doing . The first is to reject him .We do not keep his commands ,therefore the only perfect man ,Jesus died in our place, as God said the wages of sin is death. Rom 5:7 ,8 while we were sinners Christ died for us. ch.6 :1- 12. Shall we continue in sin 2. God forbid. The gospel is believe and repent.

The Gospel is not "follow church rules to the letter", it's "believe in Jesus for salvation". Unbelievers are without excuse.

@@johnfontenot7518 God can work all things for our good and it's not ultimately the Pope who draws people to the one true Church anyways but God Himself. The Pope can have his own personal views and opinions on things and as a faithful Catholic, we are not obliged to agree with any offhand comments he makes. Only when he proclaims by a definitive act some doctrine of faith or morals do we have to take it seriously as a dogma of the church.

Sorry, annulment? How or better yet, why is that related to your conversion? Just the fact that one is asking for the judgment of the invalidity of marriage from the Church without being Catholic is weird.

@@someman7 In order to be brought into the church, my previous marriage had to be annulled through the Catholic church. Also, in order for me to get married again. Last time it was not in the church. This time it was. You can get married to a Catholic in the Catholic church without being Catholic yourself, but I wanted to be brought into the church first before we got married.

My dear, pray the Rosary everyday and you will find answers to your doubts.

Go to the nearest Catholic Church and talk to the priest.

You made the right choice. Jesus is more important than anything. There ARE good Catholic men out there but you need to know where to find them. I would suggest getting involved in both parish level and diocesan level functions (e.g. Pro-life, Catechetical Training, Catholic Charities, etc.) because dedicated Catholic men will be engaged in these endeavors.

when you pray the rosary in the litany the next of the ARK OF THE COVENANT pray for us will be, GATE OF HEAVEN pray for us. Mother Mary is gate of heaven the surest way to go to Jesus.

Rather it is the devil who would rather put our eyes on men and would even use his earthly mother to try and take attention away from the savior. I believe Mary would be horrified if she knew people were using her to draw attention away from God. Mary was a human and needed saving like the rest of us . God used her because of her devotion and because he trusted her but should not be prayed to as the bible expressly forbids attempting to talk to dead humans. It was called Necromancy in the Old Testament and was expressly forbidden by God.

@Jun Don No it is Satan who wants to take the eyes off of Jesus and would stoop so low as to use Jesus own earthly mother and invent false claims that she was without sin when clearly this is an anti-scriptural viewpoint. The bible clearly states that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23 . It does not say all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God except Mary. Scripture also clearly teaches that it was Jesus who was the sacrificial lamb without spot or blemish. 1 Peter 1:19 2 Corinthians 5:21 makes it clear "God made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God". Again no such declaration is made about Mary. 1 John 3:5 also confirms "You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin". No such statement is made about Mary. Hebrews 4:15 says "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin". When Peter had preached and the people hearing him were distressed they asked what should we do he answered them in Acts 2:38 "“Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins". He did not add you must also believe Mary was sinless and remained a virgin for the rest of her life. In fact you won't hear anyone in the gospels make such a claim because not only was it not necessary for salvation it clearly goes against what scripture teaches about all of us having sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. This is a clear attempt to make Mary something she and the scriptures never suggests and if it was such an important belief Jesus and the Apostles would have made sure it was clearly understood and not left to the mental gymnastics employed by Roman Catholic apologists. No where do we find Jesus or the apostles encouraging us to pray to dead saints. Listen to how Jesus addresses the Mariologists of his own day (yess it appears they existed back then too). Luke 11:27-28 "And it came to pass, in His saying these things, a certain woman from the crowd, having lifted up her voice, said to Him, "Blessed is the womb having borne You, and the breasts at which You nursed." Jesus answered rather blessed are those who hear my word and keep it". This wasn't a put down it was simply putting Mary into proper perspective. Yes God honored her and trusted her with raising his child but this did not make her free from the sin nature passed down to all people from Adam and Eve and there was no fear that Jesus could not touch anything sinful as he laid hands on sinners when he prayed for them during his ministry besides that Jesus himself said "it is not what enters into a man that makes him evil but what comes out of him" Mark 7:15 The push to make Mary sinless is a fiction created by the Catholic church many years after the fact and no such belief was a requirement for salvation in the Holy Scriptures. The push now to have Mary declared a co-redemptrix is just another anti-scriptural blasphemy correctly rejected by the Pope. Yet another attempt by Satan to rob Jesus from his role as our the spotless sacrificial lamb of God sent to save us from our sins. I should add I am a former Roman Catholic (altar boy of many years) whose brother went to become a priest all who have left the Roman Catholic church because our parents taught us to put God first. Both my parents and two sisters and brother all left the Roman Catholic church because putting God (the first commandment ) includes loving him ahead of any denomination or person.

@@freedylo8124 ????

@@freedylo8124 what do you mean by that?

Carl , the Pentecostal were correct about ,priests and the Pope . The church was taught by the Apostles who were commissioned by Jesus . The idea of priests came from Rome ,going back to the O.T. SYSTEM . This is why they introduced an altar and the sacrifice of Jesus which they imagine is being miraculously brought back when their priest requests it. This idea may come from the Hindus who think when their priest prays their Gods come into their statues. JESUS SAID IT WAS IN MEMORY ,THAT MEANS IT IS IN THE PAST NOT PRESENT.

@@wendymitchell8245 Hi Wendy good to hear from a fellow Pentecostals...I haven t heard from many of you for a while... That s a very interesting interpretation you have about JESUS SAID IT WAS IN MEMORY, (part 2) THAT MEANS IT IS IN THE PAST NOT PRESENT.... (Part 2 ) where did you get that in the Bible? That means that its not in present? I don t see that...sorry :(( But JESUS our Lord said: John 6:53-57 If you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you... He repeats this 3 times to the Jews (sounds very literal) Ummm just to let you know that Pentecostalism was started after the 1919 by John C. Sinclair (National Association of Evangelicals, Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches of North America) That s 1900 years after Jesus Christ ALREADY established HIS CHURCH 33 AD with Peter and the Catholic Church and his teachings....

I'm sure that whatever problem we have here is twice more magnified and much, much bigger in your place.

Is it not interesting that she mentioned that being protestant taught her to read her Bible? How many Catholics actually read their bibles, much less practice what is written in it? I used to be Catholic, never read my Bible, and never knew what it meant to be like Christ. I hated to pray, mass service was like a funeral, dead. Now, I have received the Holy Spirit, have dreams and visions (including one of the Lord Jesus), I love to pray and pray all the time, I'm no longer an addict to pornography and alcohol, etc. How many catholics have been set free from sin, much less addictions? How many have dreams and visions which the Bible teaches about? Or how many miracles happen in the lives of Catholics? Statues crying blood? Friends, forsake religion and seek the Lord Jesus, His Holy Spirit, and His Father. It is time for true followers of Christ to forsake useless unbibilical religions, denominations, dogmas, philosophies, and instead pray to receive the Holy Spirit, the Fsther, and the Son. If not, Christianity, which means being Christ-like is doomed.

Such things are deception which compete for the love of God, and His Christ. You should yourself strip yourself of the unbiblical things you have received, and follow Christ, in adherence to his holy word, the Bible.

@@robertokello5201 I never said that anything you said was untrue, but I'm going to say is that you should read and understand the things the you're calling untrue, other wise, you have no base for what you're claiming as unbiblical and you're just spreading false testimony, which is against the Bible. Of course you could say that you were Catholic, but we're you a practicing one, did you learn about your faith? Did you dedicate the same time you're dedicating to your current denomination to your previous one? Did you spent time educating yourself in what you believed? I'm sorry to say this, but what you're claiming doesn't make any sense to me. I didn't comment to fight or debate you, i commented to say that regardless of what denomination or religion you follow, you should be able to respect and love your neighbor, even if you consider they are wrong, and dedicate more time to God, instead of generalizing and misinforming others, have a nice rest of the day and may God bless you, hope you don't take this the wrong way

You can worship God in any church or no church. By praying and talking to Jesus,, and. Asking Him to forgive your sins. Religion is not in Heaven. Jesus is the answer to all your requests and prayers. It is so simple even too simple for some People. They want to crucify Jesus again by holding mass. Jesus said after His crusifiiction “It is finished”.

You might try watching more conversion stories. I find them very interesting, uplifting and very informative to listen to other people's journeys and reasons for converting. I recently watched a testimony about Dr. John Bergsma conversion and it was very good. Here is a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-06F4i4TtS1c.html Scott Hahn's story is also very good and EWTN has a show called Journey Home that's been on for a long time with many many conversion stories.

You should definitely watch the Keith Nester video. He was a Protestant pastor for 20 years. Now he is Catholic and runs a RU-vid channel

Dr. Brant Pitre helped me out a lot. You should search for his videos

When you come to such a platform, it is always wise to ask other than coming with your prejudices read somewhere or what your pastor who was also deceived told you.. Did you them crucifying Jesus in church?

I feel the same way, which is why I am struggling with being a cradle Catholic!

The main reason is Jesus started the Catholic church.

What did you end up doing? I'm in a similar situation. Friends and fellowship at my current Charismatic non-denominational but feeling pulled towards Catholicism.

@jasminemariedarling I'm Catholic, 100%. I've had so many confirming experiences that I couldn't deny it. I'm still friends with a lot of protestants, like good friends. We hang out, we do group studies together but I go to mass and I love the Catholic Church.

Think about investigating Catholicism! And have a open mind!

Kathleen ,You are following lies and false teaching .Don't you understand the gospel ,you will not find it in the Roman church. Baptismal regeneration is not believe and repent as taught in the N.T. Anyone who does not understand this is not a believer.

I feel you sister. I'm protestant, raised Carholic. I left the church when someone preached the gospel to me. Honestly, I thought I knew catholicism and most protestants in my circle are anti catholics. I desired to learn about church history to have an understanding of the Bible and what early Christians believed because I got so confused and tired of constantly arguing and seeing protestants argue with their own interpretation of the Bible. It always end with, "the holy spirit revealed this to me" or "do not lean on your own understanding." To my surprise, the early fathers and Christians sound like Catholics. I decided to see what Catholics actually teaches and the more I learn, the more I begin to wonder if my wife and I made a mistake of leaving the catholic church. I am still having trouble accepting the praying of saints/Mary as well and purgatory. Like you, it must be because of my protestant mindset. I continue to pray for truth and to one day meet an actual practicing catholic who can better help me understand and I can have a discussion with. I'll pray for you too. God bless you!

If that is the only barrier for you, you are really missing out on the bigger picture. The Eucharist is the Source and Summit of Christian life! By the way, saints are alive in heaven. I do not understand how Christians can say they are dead, what is the reward of our belief in Jesus? It is eternal life. The same way you would ask a friend to pray for you or pray with you for a special intention, we can ask our friends in heaven to ask Jesus to aid us. Again, "if you do not eat My flesh and drink My blood, you have no life in you" can only be found in the church Jesus Christ founded. Keep digging.

@@Cratees Nothing wrong with thanking God for making women beautiful. She is pregnant the second time now.

Those points were fair, but I don’t always (or ever) actually see former Protestant converts to the Catholic faith being interviewed on apologetics Protestant channels. Why would it be a double standard for Matt Fradd, who is a Catholic (very respectful to anyone) apologist? In the Anglophonic world, it is ridiculously unfair the number of Protestant anti-Catholic radios, editors, tracts and even RU-vid channels if compared to Catholic ones, for when one is great for Catholics some nice Protestant (you seem to be a formidable guy, Peter) understands it to be unfair to... Protestantism. That does not make any sense to me, pal. As a Brazilian (the largest Catholic country in the world), I got scared - I couldn’t find a better word - on the level of aggression, misrepresentation or even mockery towards my faith. Anti-Catholicism is simply bizarrely rooted in the culture. So the point on more accurate representations must be ok if Matt did encounter Protestant converts to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, built upon the See of Peter, coming from Anglicanism or Lutheranism? Or would it only be ok if people show Catholics getting out of the true faith, the way I see it? The reasons for people getting out of the Catholic Church are plural, not only ignorance, but specially ignorance on what the Church is, preaches, teaches and on the “depositum fidei” she guards. Just put here these words as a reflection. I sincerely hope they didn’t sound provoking. Greetings from a Brazilian 🇧🇷 friend.

​@@masterchief8179 Bom Dia Master Chief (I used to live in Chile)! I agree with you that many groups that call themselves evangelical or Pentecostal do a terrible job of slander against Roman Catholics in South America and in the States. This is true of many evangelicals, but not all. I live in Canada which is a majority Catholic country (Quebec) but is more European in that it is extremely secular. So our contexts are different. I just get sad when I see some evangelicals and some roman catholics make caricatures of each other and engage in assuming that the worst of some in the opposite tradition is true for everyone in that tradition. I actually think that there is so much more in common. So in my own tradition, anglicanism, I have many friends who have become Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodoxy in recent years and their stories are spread by word of mouth frequently. So in my experience I do feel that we do hear stories that are shared on our networks (for instance Mark Galli and Hank Hanegraaff recently converted and they were covered in Christianity Today). I guess in my circles we do share these conversion stories more, but obviously that isn't true for many lower church streams that you refer to. Nostra Culpa! In the context of Pints of Aquinas, the only evangelicals that are interviewed are very low-church, which makes the impression that all evangelicals are like that. There are many sacramental, liturgy, and tradition loving evangelicals who would not recognize themselves in the descriptions sometimes made. I just hope for a better engagement of ideas, following Vatican II's Unitatis Redigeratio "These are: first, every effort to avoid expressions, judgments and actions which do not represent the condition of our separated brethren with truth and fairness and so make mutual relations with them more difficult...and, wherever this is allowed, there is prayer in common" - Cheers!

Up to your priest.

As an orthodox you are a member of the Catholic Church! Your communion is for real! And we are in schism not in heresy like Protestants! But u are apostolic and are one holy and Apostolic and Catholic

Please speak to a priest at the Church you are to start RCIA classes at. God bless you.
