Question

Thanks banjax

Thanks NIK

Answer 1

I became Catholic after a long, exhausting search for the Faith. As a boy, my family was Jehovah's Witness. We left that, and roamed between different churches for a long time, looking for the "right" church. We fell back on my mother's Catholic roots when I was 15. I was baptized, but we were not strong, "true" Catholics. It wasn't until 2 years ago at the age of 30 that I finally discovered the Faith I'd been looking for the entire time. I enrolled in the RCIA program in 2004. 6 months later, I was received into full communion with God's one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on Pentacost of 2005. Best decision of my life.

In the class, I was taught the history of my faith as well as the Church. It was the teaching on the Holy Eucharist that converted me (John 6). That teaching showed me the authority and origin of the Catholic Church. It has not been the same since, my life. Sometimes I cannot express the love I feel in my heart for God's Church. I thank God everyday that I've found Her.

God bless.

Answer 2

Because all the Theology resides in just one ordered source. True, you can discuss a lot about Catholic Theology (and Priests, etc) but the bottom line is the same. Protestant foundation is the liberty of faith so the interpretations varies a lot from one Preacher to the another one. Like it or not in Catholic church there is one head and the rest must follow. Obedience is a must not a choice. These among many. Anyway, I don´t think that either one is wrong, if you read about the issue there is a lot of effort on both sides to reunite Christians so I would suggest to keep on the way that better brings you near Jesus.

Answer 3

Here's an excerpt from an answer I gave to a similar question:

"The more I read the Bible, studied Church history, and engaged my brain, however, the less sense Protestantism made. There were all these passages in the Bible that supported the Catholic view, and I began to question how trustworthy the New Testament could really be since it had been in the hands of the Catholic Church for so long. They could have stuck anything in there! Eventually, I came to the conclusion that if Christianity were for real, then, logically, Catholicism was the One True Faith."

Answer 4

I guess I was a protestant, I really didnt follow any religion in my 30 some years of believing in and knowing God. I followed my own path to God basically,I have always read the bible, but never believed in the things that protestants do, such as the rapture, and that one does not need baptism to be saved, etc. I have been to many many churches in my life all protestant and non denomination. Back in December the Lord was pulling at my heart and said to go to the catholic Church, so I went and I finally found what I have been looking for all my life. I have come home to the Lord in His Church. I will be baptized and confirmed Easter 2008. Praise God Almighty for His True and Holy catholic Church.

Answer 5

No but I can tell you that as a Protestant I have thought about it

The reason is , is that alot of catholics seem to take their faith very seriously

There just seems like there is more of a serious attitude toward it all

Although to be honest , The Angilican church is not very much different nowadays

Answer 6

Yes, and I did so while reading the KJV Bible.

Also studying history help bring me to the faith. I found Catholic historians very open about the failings of churchmen and popes in the past.

Answer 7

I left one for the other and then left that one because neither had the truth

Answer 8

yess it is possible, because they realise the catholic church it's the true church, and they realise the catholicism represents Jesus Christ body
