I’m going to Protestant church and I think I had prayed for unity (in a good way). I pray for God to bring us together, as believers, in truth. I remember at a protest I stood with a young man holding a beautiful sign of Mary and we talked (he was Catholic). Then some 7th day Adventist’s came and must have assumed I was Catholic too because they gave me their book and told me to read a chapter which I think was about Catholicism if I remember. I see so many denominations and animosity, while civilization is collapsing, persecution is rising, and the enemies of the church are rising up. So many Protestants are so blind they literally say “I stand for [enemy of Christ nation]” or they stand for [blasphemers of Christ] even though many of those people recently mounted a war against the church over abortion. The often the same people bash Catholics and the Catholic Church which declare Jesus as Son of God. I am a ex-Muslim so when I enter into a Protestant church bashing Catholics it’s strange to me, it sounds like things from 1500/1600s from Europe which is so foreign to me. Why did they get rid of confession? Why did they get rid of monasticism? Why is it so wrong for a pastor to be celibate and childless? Why is the Eucharist so bad in their eyes? Why get rid of icons when a dark world needs beautiful art? Why venerate an abominable nation that holds the largest pride parades in its region while criticizing Catholics for venerating Mary and saints?
@@iraqiimmigrant2908 Hello brother in Christ. I'm RC and I really like your comment. So many attacks on the RCC about water baptism, infant baptism, Eucharist, Mary the theotokos, intercession of saints and Mary, Eucharist, Priesthood, confession. But Protestants don't know that all these are believed by ALL THE Apostolic Churches like Eastern Orthodox, Coptics, Syriac etc. So why attack only the RCC?
To think that her obedient “yes” might yield TWO priests after Seminary??! God is unfathomably magnificent.🙏🏾 May He continue to bless this family. Evidently her late grandmother’s prayers said in the distant past bore fruit long into the future .It gives hope to others who think they are praying for “lost” relatives in vain.
What an amazing conversion story. I love the fact that the family line was brought back to the Catholic faith starting with her. Funny how her family was upset. This is exactly what her grandmother went through. Hopefully her family will be moved to ask questions about the faith through her and her husband’s example. ❤
I’m happy she is happy. I’m sad for the competition that exists in the Christian world. The devil must be rejoicing with all the wasted energy and resources spent by people arguing. God must be weeping.
What a story! She was being pulled into Catholicism before she knew much about it. I am a cradle Catholic that continues to learn and grow in the faith. No one ever told me bad things about other denominations. I don’t understand why they would hate us, or even think we are not Christian.
False gospel of the papacy, the Inquisition and it's torture, burning people at the stake, and forced conversions. The popes and their Jesuit armies moving abusers from parish to parish. You said, "cradle catholic"? Please read scripture - Ye must be born again. John 3:3 KJV Bible.
Let me explain that your church is the only one that claims that God can't save anyone outside of it's perview. Because other Christians are concerned about Catholics doesn't mean they hate them. Catholicism is a different Gospel. It is a message of works, laws, rule keeping,and performance. The biblical Gospel is about faith in the work of Christ alone. There is no room for mixture in this. No one hates you, but we must contend for the truth.
@jeromepopiel388 It is clear that it would be good for you to read the early Church Fathers. Hopefully, you will see why we Catholics believe and why we believe it. The first Christians were the beginning of the Catholic Church. Until the 16th century, all Christians were Catholic. The Books of the Bible were put together and codified by the Catholic Church. You claim that we have different beliefs is true. As Our Lord and Savior said, "Unless you eat My flesh and drink My Blood you have no life within you." Yes, to be a good Catholic does take a little work. Jesus opened the gates of heaven, but the road to get to the gates is narrow. God bless you.
When people are born again they are members of the church, the Body of Christ. The catholic system is not a church. I follow the Lord. Not popes. The LDS system is deceived too following Joseph Smith. They are works driven too. Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father. He's not in a wafer.
Tremendous superb capturing conversion story,may your journey in the Catholic Church inspire encourage and motivate you and your family to delve in the immense knowledge and wisdom that it has been given to it from God The All Powerful All Loving All Truthful Holy Trinity that he taught his Apostles and their Successor’s through scripture and Traditions of his Catholic Church Amen Amen Amen 🙏 🐑🕊️✨🌈
We Always pray for our Protestant Brothers and Sisters to Convert back to The Catholic Faith, and like a Prodigal Son in the Holy Scripture...".WELCOMED BACK WITH LOVE AND OPEN ARMS"!!!!😍❤️💕🙏🙏🙏
Yah Protestants are originalily came from Roman Catholics, their founder Martin Luther was a Catholic Priest of the church he become reformist and protested some dogmas and traditions (95 Thesis)of the Church thats why they are called Protestant those who are against some Catholic teachings. Basically they have the same teachings but they do not adhere to the Pope.
This is amazing story of seeking the truth with free will. One we say yes to the will of God , the lord directs our steps and brings in the right people. It’s amazing that we have two seminarians out of this two beautiful souls . Immaculate heart of Mary and sacred heart of Jesus , I place all my trust in you
Eddie, I love that your channel is growing I can see that, even within a week! Not to mention the last year or so. And I do have breaks, but I always come back to hear new wonderful stories which basically remind me thath God is constantly at work in this miserable, broken, insane, evil world.
I feel bad for older people converting to the Catholic church because they've already missed a lot from the church, the sacraments, the rich traditions of the church, the saints and a lot more. If you are a young person and starting to see these converstion stories, I beg you to decide now and join the Catholic church. Don't wait until you are in your 60s to realize that the Catholic church is true and only church established by Jesus himself.
To God 1,000 years is like a day. It’s never too late. This response is sad to me. Gods love is infinite! I’m thrilled at age 50 to be reconciled to the Church will be confirmed and take the Eucharist and have our marriage con-validated. It’s wonderful at any age! ❤
Any age is good, everything at God’s own timing, not ours. We can always make the most of the faith and in having the sacraments, and getting closer to God at any age. I get your point but it’s beautiful that people come late in life, then they get to spend and eternity in Heaven, which is way better than a long life as a Catholic here and not being able to actually live the faith the right way.
I sincerely understand and appreciate your sentiments. You're on point. However, the fact of the matter is that it just doesn't work that way. Jesus's way of thinking/acting is, thanks be to God, completely different from the ways of human beings.😅 Paul used to be Saul in Judaism before he came home to Christ. So were all the apostles, and, in fact, everyone else in the earliest Church in Galilee, before the gospel of Jesus Christ fanned outwards to reach gentile lands. It's not beginning well that matters as such, but finishing well. In Jesus's parable, everyone received the same exact wages for a whole day's job, whether they worked the entire day, or just an hour. We can only thank God for these conversions; and we pray for more of such. Everyone is welcome back home to Rome, on board the plenitude of the Christian faith and practice.❤❤❤
Is this Kate I have seen onTelevision screen? Congratulations for you come to the fullness if Truth andGrace. Praise the Lord. I love to listen to these kind of conversion stories .
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this very informative and interesting witness, and her entry into the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. A Fantastic Story! Thank you.
But I wonder, as the saying goes, are the apostles, turning in their graves, for the man-made added doctrines to the original first century belief. Much of the problem started with Emperor Constantine in the third century and his desire to control the church for his own benefit.
Absolutely beautiful story of conversion and faith journey. May God who is the author of Mercy, continue to bless your family of origin and your present family with graces beyond measure. Let us all agree to pray for seminarians and all priests. Holy Mother Church Church needs our prayers.
Wow, what a beautiful conversion story of you Kate. I'm a Catholic and I know I'm a sinner but my faith in Catholic religion is forever because this is the only one church founded by our Lord Jesus Christ through saint Peter(Matthew 16:18) Whom he gave the Key and authority. And only the Catholic church could trace back at the time of the Apostle . Strong Protestant becomes Catholics and Weak Catholic become protestant simply because they never read and study the history plus brainwash by some pastors simply to add their members for money(10%) tithes.
I think every woman should hear this testimony, if it is just realizing what a better relationship you could have with your husband by knowing everything about your intimacy, your body, and how that reflects on your life built together, not apart. I am glad I stick with this story. Well worth the hour, with a wealth of knowledge as I raise 3 girls and a young man into adulthood. Amen to your YES! Multiple times YES!
God works in uncountable ways to bring back the people of God to His Son's established Church, His Mystical Body on earth, together. Many will join throughout our pilgrimage. Welcome home, sister
@MyJustOpinion, don’t be sad about the older people converting to the Catholic Church. They are blessed as any young/younger converts into the Catholic Faith! Young and old alike, the depths of their conversion matters and no matter how old they are, they receive the graces of the Sacraments, the rich traditions of the Church, the Saints and a lot more that you are referring to. Be sad about and let’s pray for those “lukewarm” Catholics who do not even believe in the Sacraments anymore (did they ever?), especially the Sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation. So, young and older brothers and sisters, come join us in our Catholic Faith! Have an open mind and get to know what the Catholic Church/Faith is all about! Viva Cristo Rey❤️🔥🙏🙏
Thank U So much ! For this Wonderful Catholic Story . U See ,I am an old Practising Aussie Catholic Gentlemen of 72,& have never heard of a Testimony So beautiful as this in all my Life !

I think Mam ,U R Blessed beyond belief But hope U will be given many more b lessings from Above ? 🙏🙏🙏 With Love ❤️ & best Wishes☘️from Down under Australia 🇦🇺
God Bless you and welcome home. Jesus Christ came with a sword. Catholicism is the religion of the cross. And the cross is heavy and hurts but one still has to embrace it with the best effort the believer can.
Kate, thank you for your witness! And, what a confirmation on graces received from that “one little act of obedience- staying celibate and chaste until you got married. Of course, I am not minimizing the truth that even in marriage we also must practice chastity. I believe, God also showered me with an abundance of grace with “my little act of obedience- to stay celibate and chaste after my divorce.” I was 49 yrs old when our divorce got finalized. I planned on an annulment of our 24+ yrs of marriage, but changed my mind. Even though I did not want to marry my ex-husband for several reasons, I knew then that when I finally acquiesced into marriage that it was for keeps. So, when my ex- served me with the divorce papers, I willingly obliged and decided to stay “single” for good, despite a cannon law priest’s reassurance that my case had a high probability of being approved. I also believed that Mama Mary helped me a lot as well in staying true to my chosen life of celibacy. When I pray the Rosary, I always add a “4th” Hail Mary prayer after the first 3 Hail Marys- for “increase in the virtue of chastity and purity.” I’ll be 68 yrs old next month, still single, and joyfully living a celibate and chaste life. I thank God for His loving mercy and grace and the intercessions of our Blessed Mother and our Saints and Angels in Heaven. Viva Cristo Rey❤️🔥🙏🙏
Good for you, finding the right true religion..In your family circle you are the chosen one ...The Holy Spirit is really guiding you including your sons to be serving GOD as well...I"m so happy for you...PRAISE GOD...
Embracing chastity is NOT A SLIGHT movement towards God! Fornication is THE #1 problem of evil in the world right now!!! It's pretty much a 180 towards God! THANK YOU FOR THAT!
I loved your journey thank you for sharing, I have question- you know how you say the Lord told you to move and put your kids in a certain Catholic school, how can I be more in- tuned to hearing the Lord speak to me- I have had a moment where I heard a voice but it was right before a most difficult time in my life and I feel it was a warning and a reminder of hope too and surrender but how do I open my heart wide to hear his call more in my life? Thank you and may God bless you
Make plans for them to go to a Parish of your choice and they will respect it! You can’t sell any blessed sacramentals . Make sure your family and friends know that!
That was beautiful and well explained. Thank you. Just one question, Have your parents warmed up to your chosen faith and the fact that they have two grandsons on the road to priesthood? May God continue to bless your family!
Oh the empty talk we torture ourselves with when Jesus has accomplished everything needed to save us and make us COMPLETE in HIM. We are made the righteousness of God when we are SAVED
Is there a place where I can find out if the baptism I received as an infant in the protestant church I was baptized in 40+ years ago is valid? When I met with a priest he said that the Church has a list of protestant denominations that provide valid baptisms.
In answer to YR QUESTION, DAVID IT'S NOT VALID: BUT, BUT...... GET AN OPINION FROM A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST AT YR NEAREST CATHOLIC CHURCH: JUST GO AFTER TH3 SUNDAY MASS, AFTER SUNDAY SERVICE: AND KINDLY INTERUPT HIM, THEN ASK YR QUESTION......... HE WILL BE DELIGHTED !! AFTER HIM, GO TO A PROTESTANT PASTOR & ASK HIM THE SAME QUESTION ; AFTER BOTH ANSWERS ASK GOD IN PRAYER, " WHAT IS THE TRUTH"....
Do you have a baptismal record? If your church baptized with the right intention, right matter (water), and right words (I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit), then its likely valid. Mormon, JW, SDA have different views of God / trinity, and aren't valid. If you are unsure or skeptical of your baptism, there's something called a conditional baptism.
All they have to say are the correct words, I baptize you in the name of the father, son, and Holy Spirit. And be immersed or have water poured over your head.
I read so many comments from people who have hopped from religion to religion (like people who bar hop) And they say they have never been more happier every time they find another religion. For example... Carla says: "I have never been more happier than when I left being a baptist and became a Catholic" Same Carla: "I have never been more happier than when I left being a Catholic and became a Presbyterian" Same Carla: "I have never been more happier than when I left being a Presbyterian and found god in the church of scientology" Same Carla: "I am the happiest I've ever been being a Muslim" Carla has never been happy.
Protestants for me aren't wrong. They were just lacking the fullness of the faith. They are well meaning brothers and sisters, just a little misled. Hoping they could somehow accept Catholicism in its full but not throwing away their protestant beliefs, just aiming it a little towards unity. They could still have their prayer meetings but this time with the Eucharist as its highlight. How happy God and Mama Mary will be, I guess
Graciano, when you say "without throwing away their Protestant beliefs", I think you mean without throwing away their fire of the Holy Spirit. Because the list of wrong Protestant beliefs is long: Sola scriptura Sola fide TULIP - 5 wrong beliefs wrapped into one acronym Eucharist is merely symbolic Baptism is optional Baptism doesn't regenerate Priesthood is invalid Apostolic succession is meaningless Not accepting the Dutero-canon .. the list could on
No. I could (maybe) say this about the Eastern orthodox but Protestantism as a religion is completely false. The only hope for Protestantism to be abandoned completely is the conversion of all Protestants and the rejection of their false religion.
maybe for some. But what I've observed is the majority do "shop around" for their faith, and yet will consciously and purposely avoid studying Catholicism. If they were sincere in their desire to be Christian they would consider all options but they do not because that's not what's motivating them. Ultimately the appeal of Protestantism is that it's entirely and completely self-centered: the individual is the supreme authority on scripture; each person is a church of one.
So moving. I wanted so badly to vut it off, 3 mins before the ending, getting angry at at a conversation about "Presbyterian claiming he'd never heard of and didn't believe in double predestination?! I was really wanting to cut her off 3 mins into the ending..and something said "no," 😊I was conditionally baptized at age 14.😮 😢 at a Mission Parrish. Kind of puts double predestination into nonsense..6 X incarceration numbers, aren't double, aren't tripled but double-tripled..going to he'll rates at birth..😂What an idiot! And I really loved the guy, lifelong Presbyterian claiming 2 days ago..i I couldn't argue with him, and didn't bring up the word "Calvinism😂😂" Conditional baptism... where'd did that come from...this incredibly gifted speaker..blond..Jesus! I was going to turn it off 4 mins before she shared that.😊
Natural family planning (NFP) is a form of pregnancy planning. It does not involve medicine or devices. NFP helps people observe their body's fertility signs to know when to have sexual intercourse.
Seek out all things Peter Kreeft. UA-cam, and or his book Catholic Christianity from Ignatius Press is the catechism explained in solid terms. (He has written many other books) Is also a convert and a fan of GK Chesterton. Chesterton was instrumental for CS Lewis to become Christian from atheism.
If we put our faith in men we are in trouble. Jesus told us he came to establish his Church and that his Spirit would guide her into all truth. We put our faith in God and His Church and not in the men he uses therein. Jesus told his followers in his day to do what the scribes and Pharisees tell them to do because they sit on Moses’ seat. But, do what they say and not what they do for they are hypocrites.
Loved this. The grandmother’s trunk with the Catholic sacramentals brought a tear in my eye. God bless.

This was a fantastic testimony. I agree with her: once they promised chastity, a ton on graace fell upon them.
What a story! She was being pulled into Catholicism before she knew much about it. I am a cradle Catholic that continues to learn and grow in the faith. No one ever told me bad things about other denominations. I don’t understand why they would hate us, or even think we are not Christian.
False gospel of the papacy, the Inquisition and it's torture, burning people at the stake, and forced conversions. The popes and their Jesuit armies moving abusers from parish to parish. You said, "cradle catholic"? Please read scripture - Ye must be born again. John 3:3 KJV Bible.
Let me explain that your church is the only one that claims that God can't save anyone outside of it's perview. Because other Christians are concerned about Catholics doesn't mean they hate them. Catholicism is a different Gospel. It is a message of works, laws, rule keeping,and performance. The biblical Gospel is about faith in the work of Christ alone. There is no room for mixture in this. No one hates you, but we must contend for the truth.
@@jeromepopiel388 Well said Brother.
@jeromepopiel388
It is clear that it would be good for you to read the early Church Fathers. Hopefully, you will see why we Catholics believe and why we believe it.
The first Christians were the beginning of the Catholic Church. Until the 16th century, all Christians were Catholic.
The Books of the Bible were put together and codified by the Catholic Church.
You claim that we have different beliefs is true. As Our Lord and Savior said, "Unless you eat My flesh and drink My Blood you have no life within you."
Yes, to be a good Catholic does take a little work. Jesus opened the gates of heaven, but the road to get to the gates is narrow.
God bless you.
When people are born again they are members of the church, the Body of Christ. The catholic system is not a church. I follow the Lord. Not popes. The LDS system is deceived too following Joseph Smith. They are works driven too. Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father. He's not in a wafer.
❤ IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO LISTEN TO HER CONVERSION TO ROMAN CATHOLICISM.
Tremendous superb capturing conversion story,may your journey in the Catholic Church inspire encourage and motivate you and your family to delve in the immense knowledge and wisdom that it has been given to it from God The All Powerful All Loving All Truthful Holy Trinity that he taught his Apostles and their Successor’s through scripture and Traditions of his Catholic Church Amen Amen Amen 🙏 🐑🕊️✨🌈
We Always pray for our Protestant Brothers and Sisters to Convert back to
The Catholic Faith, and like a
Prodigal Son in the Holy Scripture...".WELCOMED BACK WITH LOVE AND OPEN
ARMS"!!!!😍❤️💕🙏🙏🙏
Yah Protestants are originalily came from Roman Catholics, their founder Martin Luther was a Catholic Priest of the church he become reformist and protested some dogmas and traditions (95 Thesis)of the Church thats why they are called Protestant those who are against some Catholic teachings. Basically they have the same teachings but they do not adhere to the Pope.
God bless her. What a dear lady. ✝️
This is amazing story of seeking the truth with free will. One we say yes to the will of God , the lord directs our steps and brings in the right people. It’s amazing that we have two seminarians out of this two beautiful souls . Immaculate heart of Mary and sacred heart of Jesus , I place all my trust in you
Welcome home sis! God bless you and your family.
Welcome Kate ❤
Mother Love, such beautiful prayers I still pray with this for my children since the early 80’s🙏🏻🙏🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
Me 62y old cradle Catholic
Awesome story
Great conversion story.
Thank you for your witness.
Eddie, I love that your channel is growing I can see that, even within a week! Not to mention the last year or so. And I do have breaks, but I always come back to hear new wonderful stories which basically remind me thath God is constantly at work in this miserable, broken, insane, evil world.
Beautiful story. Another reason to love Dr. Ray. Thank you for your yes to God. In Christ.
What a wonderful grace-filled testimony. Thank you for sharing this. 💒✝️💟
what a beautiful testimony. i love the phrase that Catholicism is like the "bag you put on everyday"
Yep.. conversion is a daily cross.
"Space to pray... ." A profound grace.
What an excellent interview! So brave at such a young age. I loved listening to this.
Really enjoyed this testimony. Thank you
I feel bad for older people converting to the Catholic church because they've already missed a lot from the church, the sacraments, the rich traditions of the church, the saints and a lot more. If you are a young person and starting to see these converstion stories, I beg you to decide now and join the Catholic church. Don't wait until you are in your 60s to realize that the Catholic church is true and only church established by Jesus himself.
Better late than never!
@@PatMcAnnAmen..
To God 1,000 years is like a day. It’s never too late. This response is sad to me. Gods love is infinite! I’m thrilled at age 50 to be reconciled to the Church will be confirmed and take the Eucharist and have our marriage con-validated. It’s wonderful at any age! ❤
Any age is good, everything at God’s own timing, not ours. We can always make the most of the faith and in having the sacraments, and getting closer to God at any age. I get your point but it’s beautiful that people come late in life, then they get to spend and eternity in Heaven, which is way better than a long life as a Catholic here and not being able to actually live the faith the right way.
I sincerely understand and appreciate your sentiments. You're on point. However, the fact of the matter is that it just doesn't work that way. Jesus's way of thinking/acting is, thanks be to God, completely different from the ways of human beings.😅 Paul used to be Saul in Judaism before he came home to Christ. So were all the apostles, and, in fact, everyone else in the earliest Church in Galilee, before the gospel of Jesus Christ fanned outwards to reach gentile lands. It's not beginning well that matters as such, but finishing well. In Jesus's parable, everyone received the same exact wages for a whole day's job, whether they worked the entire day, or just an hour. We can only thank God for these conversions; and we pray for more of such. Everyone is welcome back home to Rome, on board the plenitude of the Christian faith and practice.❤❤❤
Wonderful testimony!!! Ave Maria!!🌹
Is this Kate I have seen onTelevision screen? Congratulations for you come to the fullness if Truth andGrace. Praise the Lord. I love to listen to these kind of conversion stories .
Beautiful story❤🙏
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this very informative and interesting witness, and her entry into the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. A Fantastic Story! Thank you.
But I wonder, as the saying goes, are the apostles, turning in their graves, for the man-made added doctrines to the original first century belief. Much of the problem started with Emperor Constantine in the third century and his desire to control the church for his own benefit.
My grandmother planted the seed to my faith in the Roman Apostolic Catholic Church
The one and only
Absolutely beautiful story of conversion and faith journey. May God who is the author of Mercy, continue to bless your family of origin and your present family with graces beyond measure. Let us all agree to pray for seminarians and all priests. Holy Mother Church Church needs our prayers.
Wow, what a beautiful conversion story of you Kate. I'm a Catholic and I know I'm a sinner but my faith in Catholic religion is forever because this is the only one church founded by our Lord Jesus Christ through saint Peter(Matthew 16:18) Whom he gave the Key and authority. And only the Catholic church could trace back at the time of the Apostle . Strong Protestant becomes Catholics and Weak Catholic become protestant simply because they never read and study the history plus brainwash by some pastors simply to add their members for money(10%) tithes.
Dr. Ray is speaking at my parish tonight! Thanks, Kate, for sharing your beautiful faith journey with us.
Listened to your whole story
Thanks for sharing
What an amazing story! Truly is a story of modern day Apostolic Church witness. The Church Fathers couldn't have said it better.
I think every woman should hear this testimony, if it is just realizing what a better relationship you could have with your husband by knowing everything about your intimacy, your body, and how that reflects on your life built together, not apart. I am glad I stick with this story. Well worth the hour, with a wealth of knowledge as I raise 3 girls and a young man into adulthood. Amen to your YES! Multiple times YES!
God works in uncountable ways to bring back the people of God to His Son's established Church, His Mystical Body on earth, together. Many will join throughout our pilgrimage. Welcome home, sister
I needed this one. Thank you!
St Anne Line • pray for us
One of the BEST videos EVER!
@MyJustOpinion, don’t be sad about the older people converting to the Catholic Church. They are blessed as any young/younger converts into the Catholic Faith! Young and old alike, the depths of their conversion matters and no matter how old they are, they receive the graces of the Sacraments, the rich traditions of the Church, the Saints and a lot more that you are referring to. Be sad about and let’s pray for those “lukewarm” Catholics who do not even believe in the Sacraments anymore (did they ever?), especially the Sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation. So, young and older brothers and sisters, come join us in our Catholic Faith! Have an open mind and get to know what the Catholic Church/Faith is all about! Viva Cristo Rey❤️🔥🙏🙏
I feel better every time I go to mass I've been a returning Catholic for about 4 months now.
Thank U So much !

What a wonderful story!
What an awesome testimony! Thank you so very much!!!
God Bless you and welcome home. Jesus Christ came with a sword. Catholicism is the religion of the cross. And the cross is heavy and hurts but one still has to embrace it with the best effort the believer can.
Beautiful woman. Beautiful testimony❤
Glory to God! 🥰
I have watched this three times. Absolutely love it
Inspiring conversion story of a beautiful woman.
Amazing! What a beautiful soul! God lives through her and her family. 🤗❤️
Lovely testimony to the goodness and mercy of Our Lord. The story about the love of Our Lady was powerful.
loved this ! thank you so much !
Kate, thank you for your witness! And, what a confirmation on graces received from that “one little act of obedience- staying celibate and chaste until you got married. Of course, I am not minimizing the truth that even in marriage we also must practice chastity. I believe, God also showered me with an abundance of grace with “my little act of obedience- to stay celibate and chaste after my divorce.” I was 49 yrs old when our divorce got finalized. I planned on an annulment of our 24+ yrs of marriage, but changed my mind. Even though I did not want to marry my ex-husband for several reasons, I knew then that when I finally acquiesced into marriage that it was for keeps. So, when my ex- served me with the divorce papers, I willingly obliged and decided to stay “single” for good, despite a cannon law priest’s reassurance that my case had a high probability of being approved. I also believed that Mama Mary helped me a lot as well in staying true to my chosen life of celibacy. When I pray the Rosary, I always add a “4th” Hail Mary prayer after the first 3 Hail Marys- for “increase in the virtue of chastity and purity.” I’ll be 68 yrs old next month, still single, and joyfully living a celibate and chaste life. I thank God for His loving mercy and grace and the intercessions of our Blessed Mother and our Saints and Angels in Heaven. Viva Cristo Rey❤️🔥🙏🙏
It was brilliant! :))❤
Thank you for that wonderful family history, it was beautiful!
Good for you, finding the right true religion..In your family circle you are the chosen one ...The Holy Spirit is really guiding you including your sons to be serving GOD as well...I"m so happy for you...PRAISE GOD...
You're doing great work brother!
Much appreciated brother.
Mother Love! That’s the book of the Confraternity of Christian Mothers.
Beautiful testimony
Hi Kate!! I didn’t know you converted!!
Chris Chambers
Mary does swoop in !! I’ve been a recipient of her gifts many times.
Bawling when she said "her yes". A Mary for our day.
Wow great story
Embracing chastity is NOT A SLIGHT movement towards God!
Fornication is THE #1 problem of evil in the world right now!!!
It's pretty much a 180 towards God!
THANK YOU FOR THAT!
Love this interview, than you
I loved your journey thank you for sharing, I have question- you know how you say the Lord told you to move and put your kids in a certain Catholic school, how can I be more in- tuned to hearing the Lord speak to me- I have had a moment where I heard a voice but it was right before a most difficult time in my life and I feel it was a warning and a reminder of hope too and surrender but how do I open my heart wide to hear his call more in my life? Thank you and may God bless you
61 years old and beginning to embrace Catholicism
I'll pray for you, brother.
@virgil015 I also am starting to worry about all my Catholic scramentals after I pass away!!!😱😍😭❤️
Make plans for them to go to a Parish of your choice and they will respect it! You can’t sell any blessed sacramentals . Make sure your family and friends know that!
How about her parents and the rest of her family?
That was beautiful and well explained. Thank you. Just one question, Have your parents warmed up to your chosen faith and the fact that they have two grandsons on the road to priesthood? May God continue to bless your family!
“Does that really speak to our hearts…” sigh
She reminded me of Mary's yes!
Catholic has devout .it has most closer of worshiping.who ever became catholic.done well and chosen well.
Oh the empty talk we torture ourselves with when Jesus has accomplished everything needed to save us and make us COMPLETE in HIM. We are made the righteousness of God when we are SAVED
What about her parents? Did they remain Protestant?
Is there a place where I can find out if the baptism I received as an infant in the protestant church I was baptized in 40+ years ago is valid? When I met with a priest he said that the Church has a list of protestant denominations that provide valid baptisms.
In answer to YR QUESTION, DAVID IT'S NOT VALID: BUT, BUT......
GET AN OPINION FROM A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST AT YR NEAREST CATHOLIC CHURCH:
JUST GO AFTER TH3 SUNDAY MASS, AFTER SUNDAY SERVICE:
AND KINDLY INTERUPT HIM, THEN ASK YR QUESTION.........
HE WILL BE DELIGHTED !!
AFTER HIM, GO TO A PROTESTANT PASTOR & ASK HIM THE SAME QUESTION ;
AFTER BOTH ANSWERS ASK GOD IN PRAYER, " WHAT IS THE TRUTH"....
Do you have a baptismal record? If your church baptized with the right intention, right matter (water), and right words (I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit), then its likely valid. Mormon, JW, SDA have different views of God / trinity, and aren't valid.
If you are unsure or skeptical of your baptism, there's something called a conditional baptism.
Talk to your parish priest.
All they have to say are the correct words, I baptize you in the name of the father, son, and Holy Spirit. And be immersed or have water poured over your head.
As long as it was Trinitarian and water was involved you’re good.
I read so many comments from people who have hopped from religion to religion (like people who bar hop)
And they say they have never been more happier every time they find another religion.
For example...
Carla says:
"I have never been more happier than when I left being a baptist and became a Catholic"
Same Carla:
"I have never been more happier than when I left being a Catholic and became a Presbyterian"
Same Carla: "I have never been more happier than when I left being a Presbyterian and found god in the church of scientology"
Same Carla: "I am the happiest I've ever been being a Muslim"
Carla has never been happy.
🙏🏻❤️

Ancient Greek word for universal is “katholikos“ then brought to Latin as catholicus.
When you say the word catholic you are saying UNIVERSAL..
Protestants for me aren't wrong. They were just lacking the fullness of the faith. They are well meaning brothers and sisters, just a little misled. Hoping they could somehow accept Catholicism in its full but not throwing away their protestant beliefs, just aiming it a little towards unity. They could still have their prayer meetings but this time with the Eucharist as its highlight. How happy God and Mama Mary will be, I guess
Graciano, when you say "without throwing away their Protestant beliefs", I think you mean without throwing away their fire of the Holy Spirit.
Because the list of wrong Protestant beliefs is long:
Sola scriptura
Sola fide
TULIP - 5 wrong beliefs wrapped into one acronym
Eucharist is merely symbolic
Baptism is optional
Baptism doesn't regenerate
Priesthood is invalid
Apostolic succession is meaningless
Not accepting the Dutero-canon
.. the list could on
Without knowing the truths of Catholicism and being under the chair of Peter and validly baptized there is not Heaven.
No. I could (maybe) say this about the Eastern orthodox but Protestantism as a religion is completely false. The only hope for Protestantism to be abandoned completely is the conversion of all Protestants and the rejection of their false religion.
maybe for some. But what I've observed is the majority do "shop around" for their faith, and yet will consciously and purposely avoid studying Catholicism. If they were sincere in their desire to be Christian they would consider all options but they do not because that's not what's motivating them. Ultimately the appeal of Protestantism is that it's entirely and completely self-centered: the individual is the supreme authority on scripture; each person is a church of one.
So moving. I wanted so badly to vut it off, 3 mins before the ending, getting angry at at a conversation about "Presbyterian claiming he'd never heard of and didn't believe in double predestination?! I was really wanting to cut her off 3 mins into the ending..and something said "no," 😊I was conditionally baptized at age 14.😮 😢 at a Mission Parrish. Kind of puts double predestination into nonsense..6 X incarceration numbers, aren't double, aren't tripled but double-tripled..going to he'll rates at birth..😂What an idiot! And I really loved the guy, lifelong Presbyterian claiming 2 days ago..i I couldn't argue with him, and didn't bring up the word "Calvinism😂😂" Conditional baptism... where'd did that come from...this incredibly gifted speaker..blond..Jesus! I was going to turn it off 4 mins before she shared that.😊
What is NFP?
Natural Family Planning.
Natural family planning (NFP) is a form of pregnancy planning. It does not involve medicine or devices. NFP helps people observe their body's fertility signs to know when to have sexual intercourse.
Father God and his only Son Jesus are the only rock holding there there people church!
Even the elite will be deceived.
Which do Catholics hate more...OSAS or Sola Scriptura?
👍
Seek out all things Peter Kreeft. UA-cam, and or his book Catholic Christianity from Ignatius Press is the catechism explained in solid terms. (He has written many other books) Is also a convert and a fan of GK Chesterton. Chesterton was instrumental for CS Lewis to become Christian from atheism.
✝️🙏🛐👼😇❤️🥰
Am in awe at anyone who would convert with all the per v s running the church now.
The Faith itself is what is being sought by converts. The people running it here on earth will answer to God eventually on how they did so.
If we put our faith in men we are in trouble. Jesus told us he came to establish his Church and that his Spirit would guide her into all truth. We put our faith in God and His Church and not in the men he uses therein. Jesus told his followers in his day to do what the scribes and Pharisees tell them to do because they sit on Moses’ seat. But, do what they say and not what they do for they are hypocrites.
