How an Anti-Catholic Remark Played a Role in Christian Conversion 

My husband and I converted from being life long Protestants last Easter and all I can say is Glory to Jesus Christ for inviting us home to a larger story of faith! The Sacraments, Adoration, Mass, the Church Fathers, The Saints! And so much more! I am so grateful. ❤

Me: Never wanted to be Catholic. Me: Leaning toward Catholicism

As a cradle Catholic I am blown away by the courage it takes for religious Protestants to enter the Catholic Church. Laudate Dominus!

I was an Anglican, and after going to Mass since Christmas Eve of 2022, God willing, I will be confirmed on Easter Vigil. This has been quite a journey. I will feel so blessed when I get to receive my first Eucharist.

As a Protestant, the more I investigate and research the claims of Catholicism the more I consider converting. To anyone holding to an anti-Catholic sentiment, take another look into everything with an open heart. Leave your tribalism at the door. It's such a rewarding journey. Praise the Lord! 🙌

My non catholic husband (baptised an Anglican) regularly attended Mass as a family, with me & our 5 children. After 11 years he told me one afternoon that he MUST become a catholic. I told him "I hope you're not doing this for me"... he said no... on his way to work that morning, driving into the lovely sunrise, God told him he needed to take that step. He couldn't wait for the following Easter in 6 months, so had a number of sessions with our Priest, & was confirmed a Catholic 4 months later. He has been a loyal 'mick' ever since, & a Minister of the Eucharist for many years. Married 46 years, 10 beautiful grandchildren. Father God is GOOD. Jesus Christ is our Lord & Saviour and Great Physician in many of life's circumstances; & His Mother Mary is also our gentle & loving Mother. What a church to grow up in😊. Even with the attacks by satan within our church at high levels, we know it will survive and come out washed white as snow because 'the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'

Welcome to the Church. As a cradle Catholic my understanding and appreciation of the Church is greatly enriched by our Converts. There are so many treasures in the Church that we either take for granted or don't really look at in depth because we have always had them. As these people come into the faith they help us by seeing these things with fresh eyes and lead us to examine our own faith and understanding in a deeper way.

I remember as a kid the Churches were full to the brim, and then it started to dwindle in the 70’s, today I saw our little Church almost filled to capacity Thank you Lord for bring your flock back to the true Church.

Relate to this completely. Same issues. The night I made my decision to enter the Church, the song came to me “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back.”

Great video. I’m doing Rcia now and getting baptised in Catholic Church this Easter. It’s taken years of research and reading on my part to get here. I’ve taken in Jesus Christ grace. It’s amazing. I’m home

Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls showed that the books Luther excluded for being in Greek had been translated from Hebrew.

It was mentioned part of the reason for rejecting the deuterocanonical books was the language they were in - that they were only in Greek. That was a reason given by the 4 centuries post Christ Masoteric Jews, and the Reformers. But then along comes the Dead Sea scrolls, and parts of those books were found in Hebrew and Aramaic dating back to the time of Jesus. Turns out the Catholic Church was right all along.

I feel a deep joy when Protestants come to the Catholic Church because they learned the truth of our faith, not what they been told. Welcome Home.

I’m a cradle Catholic,who got sucked into American pop culture religion,had a metanoia in 2009 which lasted for about 2 years maybe, then went back to pop culture religion in 2013 then repented again in March 2019 and decided to go into Protestantism which lasted about 2 yrs and came back home in October of 2021. In the 2 yrs of Protestantism I churched hopped the entire time and everything seemed way out of what Jesus Christ taught. But God was showing me how he works even in Protestantism to bring his back home and how the Catholic Church is where he truly is,in the Eucharist. Protestantism for me was an emotional rollercoaster,always wanting Gods presence to be felt which is a good thing but I never knew how the demons manipulate our emotions as well. There wasn’t any confessionals or Eucharist and the welsh grape fruit cups with a cracker wasn’t cutting it for me. Things are in order now for me and my spiritual life has grown so much since that there is no way I’m ever looking back despite the scandals and drama unfolding. There has always been scandals in Gods church,Judas caused the biggest scandal in church history. Jesus Christ showed us that there will always be scandals in the church but the gates of hell shall never prevail against her. Amen

I was raised Baptist in have been searching for the truth every conversion I listen to helps. This one truly showed the love of Jesus, which he calls us to love one another.

I cant get enough of these stories. I have immense respect for those who did the work to search for the fullness of Truth. God love them for speaking up about the Treasure Christ left us in our beautiful Catholic Faith. 🙏🙌🙏💕💞💖

1. Thank you for your amazing testimony. 2. Welcome home, brother. 3. God is good!

Yep, the Vatican observatory has a facility on Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, but that made me laugh when he said Protestants said it was called Satan. The brilliant, humble, lovely physicist/priest who oversees that facility is such an amazing man, completely in love with God and the unfolding miraculous majesty of the universe.

Thanks for having me on Eddie I enjoyed the conversation!

I see the on social media other faiths demonize the Catholic faith without experiencing it. Not done with love but judgement. They all point to Mary and the saints without understanding. Makes me so sad. We love the same God and want to live a good life.

Thanks for such a beautiful story. Many of us cradle Catholics take our faith for granted.

I am praying 🙏 for my sons and their families. My sons to return to the church and their families to embrace it as well. ❤

My father was of Scottish protestant heritage living in NZ with an older and younger sister. They moved for a time to Sydney and in 1929 as an 11 yr old, he got polio and could not move his legs and was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Back in Auckland, he worked for a radio station 1ZB, where he met my mother of strong Irish catholic heritage. They fell in love but she insisted he become catholic to marry her. He did so, I don’t know how long it took, but God rewarded him with a girl, 2 boys, 3 girls & 2 boys, so even though I would think it quite unfair for a child to become a paraplegic at 11, that was God’s plan for him, and without that plan, I and my 7 siblings would not exist. Thank you God.

Thank you for your story and welcome home. Please pray for my son, Joshua, to come back to our Catholic faith. I will never be the same or will ever stop praying for him to come home. It has been a wound that continues to bleed.

Great video I became catholic after being married to my cradle catholic wife and very happy with my choice

Many if not most Protestants are what I call ABC Christians. ABC as in “Anything But Catholic “. One can be Baptist and then become Methodist, or you can be Lutheran and become Episcopalian, or Presbyterian and become nondenominational, and there is little or no backlash. It’s fine so long as you do not become Catholic. Anything but Catholic!

I converted to Catholicism April 1972, two weeks before I got married. I was an Anglican, but didn't want any tension over religion if we had children. There wasn't much difference to me. Kneeling for communion, same creed, believed in Holy Trinity, only difference was confession & it also made me realize that communion was his body & blood. Such a rich religion, my family didn't give me any tension for my converion. I was very fortunate for having a very open minded family, no prejudices against religion or races.

I enjoy reading and hearing about Protestant's journeys into the RCC. My niece is one such person. I'm 66, and I was born into evangelical Protestantism. Late in life I had my fill of it, not just the obligatory "DIY church of me", but the drift towards feminized Christology and posturing clergy, and progressivism, especially amongst the leadership (case in point, the Southern Baptist Convention). I walked away, was received into the Eastern Orthodox Church ☦️ (Antiochian parish), and never looked back.

I thank our protestant brothers and sisters for their mad passion for the Word of God. As Catbolic I have developed this love for the Word and make me a better follower of Christ.

I pray your family watches this video. You brought me to tears when I heard you say how you looked forward to receiving the Eucharist for the first time. This is truly what it comes down to. Loving Him. Thank you for your witness and Thank God for you

New subscriber, this is a great channel, thank you for all of your videos!!! I love listening to conversion/reversion stories!!! I was baptized Catholic as a baby but never had any type of religious education growing up, but whenever I was asked what my religion was, I would always say, "I'm Catholic" not knowing anything about my faith. I had a reversion/conversion experience back in 2005 and have been on fire for the faith ever since. God bless you!!!

Thank you gentlemen for this interview. Bryan, as a practicing Catholic I've learned a few pieces of information I did not know before, about the apocrypha books and when they were taken out of the bible. Thanks so much!

Eddie, thank you so much for this work. Even as a cradle Catholic, that exact video of the Bread of Life Discourse by fr. Mike Schmitz that Bryan shared changed my life. I highly encourage everyone to check it out

I also love to listen to conversion stories because I learn so much from it as a cradle Catholic who fell away from the church. I was poorly catechised and mainly told to attend church every Sunday. I now think my faith however rudimentary is the greatest gift they gave me.

Excellent resplendent video,I’m overwhelmed by testimonies of people converting to the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church Of Traditional Teachings and Worship.Because I for one never new or learned anything thing about the Catholic Church for over 30yrs,but after that period of time I was helped by a Powerful Powerful conversion back to the Catholic Church by I can’t really say if it was the Father Son or Holy Spirit to lead me back to his Church.Now everyday I’m encouraged inspired and motivated to make endeavor’s to learn as much as I can learn of the traditional Catholic Church teachings to Save My Spirit and Body,May The All Glorious Exalted And Praise Worthy Holy Trinity help us Achieve Salvation Alleluia Hosanna In Excelsis Deo Amen 🙏 🐑🕊️✨🌈

The whole "I am the Light of the World" thing takes place during the feast of Dedication also known as Hanukkah which appears in Maccabees. So, arguably Jesus celebrated Hanukkah and used the symbolism to refer to what He was doing. Ergo, Jesus and first century Judaism at the least believed in the events in Maccabees.

You searched so thoroughly to get to the truth of the Catholic faith. I enjoyed listening to your journey…so calm, factual, honest. Thank you! God bless.

One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. Established by Jesus Christ. No Salvation Outside Of Her.

Thank you for sharing. I love hearing conversion stories. God bless.

Bryan is great, thanks for sharing his testimony.

Welcome home brother

Amen! Praying for our Protestant brothers & sisters is vitally important. Those of us who have come from strong, devout Protestant backgrounds have many devout friends and family who love Jesus and sincerely want to glorify and honor him. We yearn for them to know the fullness of their Christian faith in Christ's one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church!

Conversion is the works of the Holy Ghost..the least we can do as Catholics is pray.

Talking about his first Mass makes me have to share about our first Mass. Our oldest was 3 at the time, when we got to the car after Mass she proclaimed "that felt familiar". Praise God!

It does my heart good to hear this. Thank you for your honesty and diligence in researching your entire faith journey home so thoroughly. What a blessing you and your wife openly took this journey together!

I don’t know how you don’t have more subscribers. Sheer volume of content is amazing AND it’s good stuff too. Pax Christi tecum Eddie

Welcome back home my brothers and sisters in Christ.

What Christ said first is "This is my body"

This should be on Spotify

Awesome interview ❤ @Bryan I have definitely listened to your story, but I had forgotten some of the details… AMEN to once you see, you can’t un-see and truly pray that others will be open to discover the fullness of the faith that is really so clear ✝️ thank you both for all you do to help others on their journey home 😇 🙏

I have totally loved listening to you and your walk to understand & believe in the one true Body & Blood of Jesus Christ..the Holy Spirit truly led you through your walk...please pray for my siblings and my husband, daughter & grandson who no longer go to church..it's so very sad and I pray for them at Mass every single day..they really need your prayers...I'm sorry to think that the words " If you receive ..you never leave" would be true with all my family...because myself, I cannot imagine not believing that the Eucharist is the Body & Blood Of Jesus Christ..Thank You Again🙏

Enjoyed hearing this story as a fellow convert from Abilene, TX.

Welcome home PRODICAL SON!!! We LOVE you!!!!

Thank you brothers for sharing your faith. It has been a blessing to see the Holy Spirit at work in both of you. God's timing and ways of working for His glory never ceases to amaze me. God bless you both and your families ✝️

A simple yet profound ststement "the New Testament is the fulfilment of the Old Testament". Wonderful witness.

Thank you gentlemen for this interview. Bryan...as a practicing cradle Catholic I learned a few great pieces of information I did not know before, about the apocrypha and when they were taken out of the bible. Thanks so much!

Thank you for this extremely enlightening and vibrant discussion. So inspiring. God bless you both!

What a great interview! Loved it.

Thanking God for you all sharing your journey. I'm a cradle Catholic that finds it hard to help others understand about our Catholic faith. Your videos are so important to help everyone with so much of the truth in and history of the Gospels and Fathers of the church. God bless you always. Will share with family and friends🙏🙏🙏😊

Such a powerful testament 🙏🙏 I admire your research and bible study! Tom from Canada

Thank you! And thank all of the commenters for there testimonys too❤

It seems to me in John 6:68 when Peter says "Lord, to whom shall we go?", that perhaps if there had been another option (if John the Baptist were still alive for example), that perhaps Jesus might have lost the Apostles. I'd never noticed that in John 7:1, which immediately follows this incident, that Jesus was in danger of being killed. Thanks to Bryan for pointing this out.

Welcome home!

Dear Converts, while "cradle Catholics" may never fully understand the sacrifice Protestants make due to conversion, especially those whose livelhood is based on ministry, I think virtually all of us find your story HEROIC in the sacrifice and effort your make to come into the Church. So, GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR JOURNEY AND YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS! The story of your journey is always inspiring. And to my fellow cradle-ers, GOD BLESS YOU FOR REMAINING IN THE ARK AND SUSTAINING HOLY MOTHER CHURCH!

God bless you brother and welcome! ❤❤❤❤

I left my faith for a very long time and since I’ve come back my life is clear and the desire to be thankful has intensified. My friends are Christian evangelicals. They are out of their minds over me going back to my catholic faith. They truly believe my faith is a cult which is absurd and the way they disrespect Mary the mother of Christ is pretty much unacceptable.

Thank you for your sharing bro. God bless both of you. Amen

I appreciate the conversation. God bless!

Amazing testimony and interview! God bless you Brian. Praying for conversion of your family 🙏

I reverted years ago, had been a Protestant as a young man, heard many false claims over the years about what Catholic believes supposedly that I knew were not true. Eventually this turned me towards the Church until I had no choice other to revert.

Twenty years for our family of 11, this Easter (we now numbers 33 and even Religious!!) and the fact that the early churches went to Rome instead of St. John was very instrumental in my accepting the Papacy. Welcome to the war! ( quote from a congrats when we converted!).

When in doubt, go back to the basics. Welcome home Bryan!

The greatest trick Satan has played wasn't just to make people believe he wasn't real, it was to make people leave the church Jesus founded, leave the Sacrament of reconciliation, leave our blessed mother, and leave Him in the Blessed Host away from communion and salvation.

Cool testimony! Thank you 😊

I converted from Anglicanism two years ago. Great interview! Thanks especially for airing the fascinating topic of the apocryphal/deuterocanonical books. I didn't know they continued to be printed in Protestant Bibles until the 1700 or 1800s, but it makes sense because they were in both the Lutheran and Anglican lectionaries for centuries. In fact, if you get the traditional Anglican Book of Common Prayer from the ACNA (Anglican Church in North America), which they use for their worship, you can see the dates in the church year that parts of the so-called apocryphal books are to be read. You would not know this history from modern Protestant Bibles. Even the ESV, far superior to the blatantly anti-Catholic NIV, fails to acknowledge in its huge Study Bible that in the very famous Romans 1:19-23 passage (about how God's eternal power and deity have always been made known to man in the things that have been made), Paul is unmistakeably summarising the first half of Wisdom 13 (especially verses 13:1 and 13:5-9). If he was quoting an ancient Greek philosopher, you could be sure the ESV would cite it, but it's pretends the book of Wisdom does not even exist. A notable Protestant exception to this is Michael Heiser, who specialises in Second Temple literature and is very familiar with the deuterocanonicals as well as books that never quite made it into any canon, such as the Book of Enoch.

Ha,ha I love how you say “going through the motions” Converted Easter of 2009

That Father Mike talk changed my life as well! I was already Catholic but my eyes were opened like never before and my faith just continues to deepen all because of the Catholic understanding of the Eucharist. I am so excited for the Eucharistic Pilgrimage and Conference happening this summer. The talk is called "The Hour that will Change Your Life" with Fr. Mike Schmitz.

We will keep praying for your family and the reunion of all christians like we do in every mass.

Glory to God!!! 🥰

My husband and I are attending our first mass this weekend. I'm beyond excited. I was saved a year ago and have been exploring (heavily researching, lets be real) my faith and its all lead me to the Catholic Church. My husband isn't a believer, yet, but he was the one who suggested we attend mass.

Happy to be back and listening. And so many stories to listen to :)

I also was in the United Methodist church and saw where they were headed. The doctrinal divide was getting wider and I hated being part of a church that couldn’t decide on what they believed. That began my move to the Catholic Church. Btw the parts of the UMC that were against same sex marriages were the African bishops. Good on them for standing up.

Thank you for this beautiful testimony on your conversion. God bless you. ♥️🎚♥️

Amazing testimony, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing your story and welcome, brother!!

Just excellent!

Priest, Prophet, and King Amen bro

I teach RCIA at our church. I love when we have converts who have done their research already! I am always disheartened when we have "Catholics" who need to make their Confirmation so they can be a Godparent. The convert will continue, the so-called Catholic will be gone after their Confirmation.

Thank you!

Eddie, you are such a great interviewer! I've watched many conversion stories and the most annoying thing about them is that the interviewer doesn't let them tell their stories or leads them only to interrupt them. You let Bryan lead and lightly bumped him back on track as well as helped him elaborate Protestant lingo, it was refreshing! You've got a new subscriber. Bryan, I offered three Hail Marys for you and your family! God bless you and welcome home!

Yo it’s Bryan! Love that guy!

This was a very interesting & inspiring conversion story! 😮 TY so much. 🙏🏻

Thankyou to both of you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@QuestforFaithwithBryan WELCOME HOME, Brother! 😊🙏🙏💕 If it helps (you may already know this by now?) to understand what is meant by "in a memorial of Me" or (in bad translations) "in memory of me", or (in better translations) "in commemoration of Me"... That one word, "commemoration", had *only one meaning, ONE connotation:* *_a perpetual sacrifice to God, for all time!_* It held the same meaning in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic!

Hi Eddie! I just came across your channel and Im delighted to find beauty in knowledge of our Church!! Thank you! Im looking forward to listening to more videos. Im subscribed to Bryan's channel already.

The converts stories have made me more catholic.

Well Ryan? Welcome Home 😊

This gave me chills. Yes, my own experience, too.

Thank you for a great discussion!

Excellent!!! will be sharing this video for sure!!!
