That's really awesome to hear!

Amen brother. Know that you will be attacked by the devil. But have your rosary ready and trust in our lord.

I have also watched follow up interviews with him as well and I do think that he has truly turned his life around and sincerely converted. I watched an interview he did with John Bernthal and it was quite good, besides the profanity. He was explaining to Bernthal how Catholics do not believe that mass is just a get together and meal but a recreation of the crucifixion of Christ. So he clearly has converted sincerely. May God bless you on your journey. I was blessed to be raised and educated by Catholics who took their faith seriously so I can not feel for where you have been as I have not been there but I wish you all the best. God bless.

That’s wonderful. I love to hear young people realizing the do whatever you want, casual sex culture is a recipe for a miserable life & turning to Jesus instead. I hope you make an effort to invite other young people to Mass. You should pray on other ways to get more young people involved in the Church without compromising or dumbing down Christianity, maybe you could start a Bible study, a young adult group, etc. The Bible Timeline Great Adventure studies by Jeff Cavin seem to be the best study out there to make the entire Bible understandable.

That shia interview with bishop barron I've watched a couple times now. It's a legendary interview. I was going through my conversion myself at the time when that came out. It helped me too & it's helped spark an interest in a few of my non Christian friends

Amen! 🙌

I loved that interview

Oh man! This comment made my day! I loved that conversation too. Praise God for your journey and God bless you!

Wow - I will pray for you and all others somewhere on the path to Catholicism.

God bless you

Awesome! Welcome to the family! Prayers for you today

Hey, you're now a celebrity in Heaven's eyes.

Wonderful Mass to receive your first communion.

❤❤❤

That’s awesome!! Thanks be to God!

Wonderful!

I attended my first Catholic Mass last Sunday. I will be asking about RCIA. The catholic church is what I personally needed to find Jesus. I just didn't know it for so long.

@@Valerius123 happy for u!! Hopefully your journey will be fruitful 💛

​@@OanhNguyen-nl8mva beautiful Asian Vietnamese woman with a beautiful Asian Vietnamese man! Godly people as they say I always wanted to say that though I don't think I have a right to choose because if my desires are not wrong but inferior to Christs decision then who am I to say? I'm implying that I want an Asian wife who's Christian because In my own personal self mind I think since I'm Hispanic and half native American half white European in blood but I look Asian it would logically better if I marry an Asian Christian woman but I've never had any relationships with Asian people at all but I have had a cute Hispanic but white looking woman in highschool who was some what of a friend and I've reconnected with that ginger and she's Catholic bible thumping woman so It seems as though God is telling me this is superior since I already have this relationship in my palms and heart should I marry her? I've never had any deep relationship with a strange woman before but obviously we become less stranger time passing I guess if she says yes then it's obvious so I'll see to it. I want what your man is having a beautiful relationship with a woman intimately meaningful and worshipping God. I could've probably married her within the year of highschool graduation but I was a coward and in sin so I feared I wasn't worthy but life is gonna hurt later on with regret so I might as well cringe and do it now if she rejects me than doing it later and never knowing if it could've had been something more abundantly meaningful. Who knows but I'll stop pondering ill stop pondering for the next 3 years like I have these 3 past years it's time to get married I hope! Oh and pray can't become lazy 😅. But yeah I told the same to a Hispanic but Asian women whos name Anna Lam and I told her wow you're beautiful and I saw a Filipino guy with his wife and I thought hes not Filipino? Well God I guess there isn't anything wrong with that? Then I guess I'll be having the same but I'm a different man and I'll be having a different woman . I'm tired of being single though I'm 21 life it wasn't long ago when I was 10 years old so I don't trust what I do with wasting my time I should do what I gotta do and I feel it objectively on my mind and I'm gonna all things good for God amen I thought to that now I really need action it Lord.

While that is true, remember that in our personal lives, when those in our family and friends circle who look up to us, see us change and become devoted to Chrisr, they see the source of where that light comes from and aspire to follow us to Christ. Same with celebrities, there are people who are lost and look up to these people, but they will realize it is Christ who leads them. My spouse used to hate Catholics and tore me rosary. I was able to open him up to the faith little at a time, and almost every male celeb he admired all converted to Catholicism or were Catholics already thst he wasnt aware of. Now he understands where their strength during suffering came from. He has twice said maybe I will someday be Catholic. Remember, God can bring good from any source, even among the secular culture... I won't undermine God's way, we just have to trust His way and His timing.

There's also Anne Rice who converted into the Church and left because she was liberal

What objections were most problematic?

And it applies more broadly. You can also be a Heaven's Gater, or Musilm without being able to answer all the critics. Trent is green lighting intellectual suicide. He'd think it's absurd in any other case but his pet belief.

It's a journey for everyone and everybody's journey looks different. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🏻😊

why would one be a deist? The God I worship, isn't lazy.

Thank God. None of us have all the answers to everything… yet at some point we trust enough to have faith. I don’t fully understand electricity, or how medicine works - yet I “believe” because when I flip a switch a light comes on, and when I take an Ibuprofen my headache goes away. As we study Catholicism and pray, it can all come together for us, making more sense than the alternatives - even if we haven’t studied every single aspect of it for decades. That’s just not needed. For most of the history of Christendom (up to the last hundred years) most believers were not even literate. Yet, they knew enough to have faith. They believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. They opened their hearts to Christ and allowed His grace to transform their souls more and more into His image. Of course Christians have always struggled to overcome sin - and you will find no shortage of examples of this throughout history - yet, the fundamental driving force of this faith for over 2000 years is that of a love story… this all powerful God who created us loves us and wants to draw each of us closer to Himself every day.

So beautifully said my friend💛

Thank you for sharing your story ❤🙏🏼

It's really the same as any powerful conversion story. I get that it doesn't mean any more if they are a celebrity. I'm not Catholic either, but any conversion story to Jesus Christ and Christianity is encouraging to me.

Amen. You said it well. ❤

Very true. I was baptized 12 years ago. After 3 years i kept praying the rosary, but i stopped going to Mass and had a doubtful lifestyle. When corona hit i started going to confession and Mass again. Had some up and downs until last year when i started to going to Mass multiple times per week, praying everyday and being more public about my faith. And now i know...nothing is guaranteed...everything is Gods grace (without it we cant be good) and like you say the cross comes. And im getting a lot of Cross but im learning to love God because He is God and not because i get a fuzzy feeling.

Yeah, it can be hard to keep up with the faith sometimes, especially when life changes happen. I felt really on fire as Catholic in college, mellowed when I started a new job, caught the flame again in lockdown, picked up and dropped certain prayer practices and meditations depending on my schedule and mood, and am in a spot where I can go a couple of weeks in deep mediation and then drop back down to some bare minimum prayers. It really is a journey and I think we should try to develop more on a dynamic prayer life as we go through life. Trying to get an Advent and Christmas plan going as my life and work situation has changed again 😅 never a boring moment when being a Catholic

Well said!!! I loved the part where you mentioned the cross, hahaha the most difficult part of our journey.

Yes but just like in marriage, there will be great suffering, but also deeper consolation.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Am not a theologian but would like to have a discussion on the questions you have.

There's a wealth of information online to learn about Catholicism. I listened to priests, homilies, these apologist channels and if I had a specific question, could always look it up. Lots of Catholic sites to read things, or channels to watch interviews. Catholic answers is great for quick answers. I did this, not to convert, but to just find out about it myself from Catholic sources. I've always been Christian, but decided it was time to find out about the RCC, not from how protestants view it, but from actual Catholic sources. It did not at all move me to want to become Catholic. I like Trent and some Catholic channels though and am ecumenical.

The only thing I can say is that no one can represent his denomination. There are many different forms and depths of faith in one denomination. No matter which church you attend, you can not agree with whole doctrines and cultures of it. Healthy debates are beneficial, and everyone has their own way.

@Learning I'm surprised more Catholics haven't jumped in to convert you in here. In my experience, you find the most zealous Catholics online. I've met a few faithful in real life, ,but it is generally more the protestants I've known that are very devoted.

Interesting! Never thought of it that way.

God bless you!

Every Christian disciple will suffer through periods of lukewarm faith or the dark night of the soul, it has nothing to do with celebrity status. It is part of the sanctification process, God bless.

atheists are mad she's not immediately a William Lane Craig with a published thesis on the viability of the Resurrection lol

That's wild.

She hasn't said much about her conversion. Her primary reasons so far are political, sociological and the sense of vacuum atheism left her with (according to her article Why I am now a Christian). She is still learning about Christianity she says. Perhaps it's a bit early to be congratulating her just yet. When she writes an article "Why I Believe Jesus Rose From The Dead", I'm sure she will be shouted from the rooftops :)

Nice 😊👌

Amen!!

Yeah her producer was a pervert.

🙏🙏🙏for Britney

I wonder if Britney had something to do with her own downfall?

Look up MK ultra and the CIA( Catholic Intelligence Agency)

Britney (and all the other very wealthy stars and starlets) tried to have two masters, and found out she could only love the one who gave her stuff. The other Master she hates, primarily because He doesn't care about her stuff .. just her soul.

Don't worry, at some point, Michael Coren will come out with another book called, Why Catholics are still Right.

@@anthonyhulse1248 I think Coren has burned all his bridges and he is in it for a career and some cash at this point. He is part of a sham church as well.

@@anthonyhulse1248 It depends on how popular it becomes to became a Catholic. Coren was always more about following the culture than Christ.

Have you read the parable of the prodigal son? was the father out of line for throwing a feast for his son who had returned?

Aren't those called Reagan democrats?

@@Qwerty-jy9mj That is certainly a portion of the people I am referring to, yes.

Yes, on the political side, those people have not actually changed their underlying world view. If someone became Catholic without having that change in belief and practice, it would be a false conversion, as we are called “to put on the new man,” as St. Paul teaches.

@@nicholasshaler7442 yes, and there certainly are those who publicly say they are converting and then don't live the life. There are certainly a few bishops and politicians that come to mind who are "Catholic".

Actually, your short version is pretty spot on and works fine IMO!

Praying for your conversion, in its truest sense of the word, ..🙏😇💖

This really is timely because I've begun to wonder about certain converts who make a name for themselves but in a negative way. Like, why spread the word that you've converted in the first place? Trent is solid, and I've learned a lot from him - also Dr. Gray.

I’m not surprised her son is gay. Women can’t make men.

It's because it's not approved. A man shall not lay down with a man .

Good. If you change positions because a millennial institution does not approve someone committing sod*m¥ acts that increase sexual transmissible diseases, decreases natality and is often correlated to infant abuse (yes this is a fact) then good, we don't need people complacent with sinful acts

Well, then her reconversion was not sincere it sounds like.

So it’s your fault then? -Kyle

Guy can't make up his mind. Sad.

That's hyper-correction "less" is grammatically correct. Anyway, that being said, that is quite disappointing.

But you can’t forget the countless of fans who stop supporting and even attack him for it.

Did you mean soil when you said Rocky and thorny seeds? The interesting thing about the parable is the seed(s) are all the same. The parable is really about the various kinds and conditions of soil. There is some terrific symbolism as to what makes our soil stony (roots unable to grow) thorny (roots are growing but nurturing fruitless plants) or fruit bearing at the 30/60/100x levels Jesus mentioned. This corresponds to Christ's teaching that in His father's house are many mansions (ie kingdoms)

@@HaleStorm49 yeah, I was using "rocky seeds" and "thorny seeds" as shorthand ways of "seeds that landed in rocky soil" and "seeds that landed among thorns". Interesting point about the seeds being the same - I hadn't considered that. Within this context, that stresses our similarities to celebrities and to all other humans (i.e. we share the human condition, including the fallenness). With this said, celebrities operate in an environment ("soil") that's generally rocky or thorny (I'd say moreso compared to anonymous persons), which is why prayers for them are so vital

I feel a particular affinity for celebrities and politicians, whether they be Catholic, Protestant, atheist or agnostic, and especially Satanists, Luciferians, and witches and wizards. I pray for them regularly.

​@@GumbyJumpOffI mean.. yeah, the more delusional a person is, the more they need prayers

Yeah, Anne Rice, of Interview w/ a Vampire books and series, also made a big splash as a Catholic convert (I think it was revert). She did interviews and wrote a few Catholic themed books, and stopped writing dark supernatural books. She left the RCC as well, due to her two sons coming out as homosexual. Looks like she might be back soon, w/ the latest Vatican document on blessing same sex couples though.

@@Denis.Collins what? Oh no I didn’t know about that. Her interviews I’ve heard I got the impression she had a real spiritual conversion by encountering Christ in her battle with cancer and that she developed a deep devotion to Our Lady. We must pray that Our Lady intercedes so the bonds to yoga are broken for Tammy. However knowing Our Lady and by taking Tammy for her word that she is praying the rosary daily I am sure Our Lady is already doing work. We must remember that just because someone converts that doesn’t make them a Saint automatically nor that they have broken all bonds with their previous life - that is part of their spiritual growth

@@Denis.CollinsI think she mentioned that she was questioning all of the yoga practices she has done over the years. Perhaps she is only just learning the Catholic Church’s stance on the practice. Her friend Queenie, who taught her the Rosary while Tammy was very ill, seems like a strong guide and friend to her.
