This is part 2 of my #conversion to #Catholicism story. If you haven't seen part one, check it out here: • Why I #Converted to th...
Once I had encountered God in such a meaningful way, I began searching for a faith community to help me understand the Christian faith. I quickly became confused by the myriad of denominations and decided I needed to understand why there were so many.
I began to study about Church history and Martin Luther's reformation. I compared the claims of the reformers and the Catholic Church and did my best to read the Bible from an objective point of view.
What I found surprised me as the Catholic claims seemed to hold up to scrutiny while the premises for Protestant conclusions struggled to hold together.

I am an atheist but for some reason I’ve been drawn to watch catholic videos. I know it’s the one true church and I absolutely love the catholic traditions and how insanely rich the religion is. I feel at peace when I watch anything about Catholicism. I was baptized when I was a baby and remember going to mass and how pure and peaceful it felt. I just feel so dumb believing in something I can’t see, but that’s why it’s called faith. I need help. Please pray for me. My life is in shambles.

This reminds me of the time I attended a Protestant bible study. I thought it would be a regular small group where we all could discuss things collectively but since they found out I was Catholic it ended up being kind of a passive aggressive intervention to "show me the truth" and they kept pointing me to different passages attempting to debunk Catholicism and I clearly remember the girl I was with pointing me to that 2 Timothy verse you mentioned that all scripture is divinely inspired and she asked "so what do you think this means?" I was like yeah so it's pretty straightforward what it says, yes I agree that the Bible is the divinely inspired word of God...and she looked at me blankly as if she was expecting me to disagree. Key word in that passage is "all" scripture, not "ONLY" scripture. It amazes me how many Protestants think Catholicism goes completely against scripture.

I'm a protestant, born and raised. But buddy, you make a heck of a case.

I'm not Catholic, but I always respect how you unpack your ideologies in a respectful, logical manner. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Brian.

I am so glad that I found your videos! I am a deacon in a baptist church but I am struggling with protestantism. I was raised Catholic and left because God told me that I had no relationship with Him, when I went to a friend's church that was Nazarene, so I told God that I waned to to have a relationship with Him. Now I believe that God might be calling me back to the catholic church. I'm scared, I'm confused, and I am letting the truth guide me to wherever it leads. I have been u listening and watching Catholic programs for awhile and love them. I love God and Jesus and just want to be were he wants me to be. If Jesus started the Catholic Church then I should be there.

I was also a protestant and I did a studying on the Catholic faith most of the saints such as the Virgin Mary and God move me to become Catholic because He also pointed out that I needed my 7 sacraments. Im very happy to be Catholic they do more religious sacraments than any other doctrines. Thank You God for leading me to the Catholic faith and Virgin Mary.

I am still trying to find the truths of the faith which I was brought up in but my understanding is that Catholicism allows for and even encourages the sort of sleuthing and searching for answers that you did. Not true of all sects

I've been struggling with my faith recently. I've been a nonchalant agnostic for all my life until one day, for some reason, I picked up the bible. I'm still only in the Old Testament but it's truly opened my eyes

You are a natural Brian. You, Lizzie, and a few others are the new apologetic young guns. You are so needed in these times. Please keep going.

I became a Catholic because I felt closer to God. Sometimes the Holy Spirit moves you and I always get that God would lead my life. My journey was different but it led me to Catholicism. Once I had converted, I learned a lot of the history and found faith had driven me and my inspiration from receiving love from our Catholic Community.

Catholicism is the fullness of Christianity - the Universal Church. Welcome home! Great video.

The Holy Spirit has given you the gift of communication Brian ! May he continue to use you to encourage all those sheep out there who have got lost in the maze of life. Most of my relatives have "wandered off" and I long for them to come back home . I often think of St Monica praying for her wayward son Augustine - now there was a happy ending !
