My mom used to belong to Church of Christ. I was TERRIFIED to tell her I was converting last year. She was hurt that I didn't invite her to the Easter Vigil because I converted when I was away from college. Now my mom started coming go Mass with me and she actually likes Mass. Also real presence was why I wanted to become Catholic. I will be praying for you Lizzie :) God bless
Why did you left the church that hold on to the truth,is it because of the people?...or you were looking for worldly pleasure.which part of the catholic is true? Pope the universal father,priest were also call father? Christmas?taking bread once or twice in a year,music..multiple collection..woman that lead prayer in attendance of baptized man,kissing the pope hand,virgin mary..who had multiple childen,praying to mary as mediator..or the priest..come on you know it is totally wrong.doing this just for the sake of finding fame is an insult to god.
I was a Jehovah Witness. Left the society in 2014. Parents threw me out and lost everyone. For some reason I looked into the Catholic Church (although I always hated what I thought was the "Whore of Babylon") and it's teachings. To my complete shock, Everything made sense. As a Jw, I was taught lies and just believe it. But I knew I found the REAL Truth. That void I always felt was finally filled. Was baptized a Catholic 1/1/17. I am now an altar server at my local Latin mass community and have a huge new spiritual family. Deo Gratias! 🙏🏻😇 Congratulations and May God bless and Our Lady keep you always! Stay strong 👊🏼🙏🏻
omg, I was also born in the JW church and I fault like something was wrong and a search for truth in, Hinduism ' Buddhism, paganism and then God woke me to his 1st Church, God is so good .. God bless you, bro...This is my 1st year in the true faith, I am be taking my RCIA classes this coming September to become Catholic. God is calling us to him. God bless you all...
I love those moments when non-Catholics realize what Catholics have known all along - welcome home, this is only the beginning of your journey 👏💪👍💒 "There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be." - Archbishop Fulton J.

Lizzie - thank you so much for your videos over these last few months. My wife and I are in RCIA right now as well and your perspective has been amazingly helpful and insightful. We have been suffering through the exact same trials and issues that you've been talking about and I want to thank you so much for being the public voice of all my questions.
I had a job once. We got a new co worker. He was hardcore Protestant. He read his bible 4-5hrs a day !! He told me, “God gave me this job to help you become Protestant.” We argued everyday for 5yrs. I kept hammering away at Isaiah 22. I kept telling him If a Captain of a Navy ship goes on vacation, he puts someone in charge. One day he came to work and said, “I’m going to become Catholic.” I was shocked.
Saved and born again In christ The Holy Spirit works in unity As God is perfect unity. Jesus said “Father let them be one.” Paul said “Let there be no division amongst u.” Protestantism has 1000s of Churches. No unity.
I don’t understand how he could of been a born again Christian and read the bible so much and fall for a heretic deception that goes against the word of god in many ways ,very unbelievable tbh.
J man 54 the Roman Catholic Church Canonized the New Testament. The Roman Catholic Church is the only mainstream church that is against abortion. Soon the Roman Catholic Church will be the only mainstream church against gay marriage. The Roman Catholic Church is the only mainstream church against condoms. The Roman Catholic Church is the only church that has a 2000yr line of popes. The Roman Catholic Church believes in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Roman Catholic Church is the only church that doesn’t believe in divorce and re marriage.
"The difficulty of explaining 'why I am a Catholic' is that there are ten thousand reasons all amounting to one reason: that Catholicism is true." - G.K Chesterton
I wish GK Chersteron was alive today. He would see a church that post-Vatican 2 doesn't believe the same things about salvation as before. He would see a bunch of respected Catholic scholars in good standing with the Vatican tell us that the papacy didn't exist early on. I guess you could find a lot of pre-Vatican 2 quotes that wouldn't hold up to any scrutiny today.
geoffrobinson I haven't come yet across any "Catholic" scholars who denied the papacy - only scholars who defend it. I know the Church went through a crisis of faith and lukewarm-ness though, and there were some really bad scholars and theologians who did not do the faith justice, but I think they've been on their way out, because I haven't come across them - I'm not familiar with any of these scholars names or their books.
//I haven't come yet across any "Catholic" scholars who denied the papacy - only scholars who defend it. // The Roman Catholic Church: Its Origin & Nature by John F. O'Grady, page 146, footnote 11: O'Grady is a Roman Catholic priest and professor of biblical theology "11. The emergence of a single bishop in Rome probably did not arise until the middle of the second century. Linus, Cletus and Clement were probably prominent presbyter-bishops but not necessarily monarchical bishops. That Peter was the first bishop of Rome and founded the Christian church there can be found no later than the third century. Cf. O'Connor, Peter..., 207. See also Brown, Priest..., 53-54." Peter in Rome Daniel W. O'Connor; Raymond Brown "Priest and Bishop www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/evangelicals-docs/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_20111220_report-1993-2002_en.html (25) Catholics see the work of the Holy Spirit in a number of significant developments in the early Church. These include the understanding of bishops as successors to the apostles; the emergence of the three-fold ministry of bishop, priest and deacon; the clarification of the apostolic faith especially by ecumenical councils and the universal creeds; and the gradual acknowledgement of the effective leadership of the bishop of Rome within the whole Church. Even from early times, the Bishop of Rome had a prominent role in fostering the communion of local churches over which bishops presided, the initial expressions of a primacy that developed over the centuries. If I may bring out the implication of this: there wasn't an early papacy but we're putting a good spin on this.
You seem to know a lot about Catholicism and i was curious what was holding you back. Kudos to you and we are over a billion strong. We got your back. Mary and the Saints got your back. The Church Fathers got your back.
You are an incredible witness to the Church. A perfect blend of honesty, emotion, and intellectualism. With your RUclips history and presence I know many hearts and minds will change.
I live in Germany, mother of the Reform. Almost every month we have a Protestant coming to our Church looking for baptism. I have been living here for more than 10 years and I was surprised by the numbers. Not only children's but also adults. And by the way, many people educated in the old "soviet union" system and were educated under atheism. They also look for the Church and got baptism. Atheists. Agnostics. Protestants. Esoterics. Buddhists. MUSLIMS TOO. People from all backgrounds, people from several nations including India, Japan, Cuba.... they all look for baptism in my Church, Saint Agnes. It's a blessing to see so many souls coming back to Christ and to His Church after so many years in atheism or Lutheranism. Blessed be the Lord our King Jesus. I love you 💖💞💞💞

I am a protestant from Poland where enormous majority of people is Catholic. I found your channel becouse I have doubts about protestants churches but i didnt realize that you will be able to convince me that catholicism may be the truth!! Haha i am really excited about resaerching now. Thank you Lizzie that you deal with us your way! 🙂🙂🙂
Hi Monika, a really good RUclips channel with a lot of resources about Catholicism is "The Coming Home Network." They have a lot of videos on Church history, scripture study, and a lot of conversion story/testimony videos from people coming into the Catholic Church from various backgrounds. May God continue to bless you and guide you on your journey of faith! *The Coming Home Network* www.chnetwork.org ruclips.net/user/ComingHomeNetwork
Hi Monika your search will pave way to explore the truth.Scott Hann and Steve Ray great scholars and Catholic converts videos and org might be helpful in your research.Holyspirit will guide you into all truth
watch this a Testimony of ex-protestant converted by a bible: ruclips.net/video/3afP72VB22M/видео.html this video was so a deepening my faith - even though I am Catholic and this thing should be obvious :)
Omg Lizzy! I've been subscribed to you for so many years now. I just always wished you were Catholic. I can't believe it's finally happening!!! I'm so happy for you. God bless:)
I am converting and been struggling with the outside world. I was so happy to find Lizzy she speaks truth and there isn't judgment. She shares so well. God gave her a gift.
Congratulations on hearing and listening to that calling. The spiritual rewards are immeasurable. Look deeper. Contact your local Catholic parish for more information about classes or books to read.
I started out catholic, then tried other religions. I was searching for the ultimate truth. and then came back to catholicism. Each time I tried to leave Catholicism, something just kept pulling me back in. I will never leave this time.
I feel so sorry for you, Catholicism is man made, added dogmas by man, Christianity answers the question WHAT IS TRUTH....Catholicism violates and goes against EVERYTHING Jesus Christ stood for.....Catholics Go against the 10 commandants in every way, but then you use man-made dogma and "Tradition" to justify it. Where as the Christian needs nothing but Gods Word and a relationship with Christ... I feel so much pitty and sorrow for Catholics, You twist and corrupt Gods precious word, There is NOTHING you can say to justify the things Catholics do....There is NO SCRIPTURE that supports it, BUTTTT there is a Book that 100% REFUTES Catholicism, it's called the bible....Go read your bible and try to find annnyyy scripture to support any of the stuff Catholics do....Catholics go against Gods word 100%......Mary was special yes she gave birth to Christ but that's where it ends, she is NOT divine in any way, she can't intercede for you she's DEAD you pray and ask a dead woman to go to christ on your behalf BLASPHEME...same thing with the saints.... You put emphasis on it because the Pope says so.....the pope is nothing, nobody he has no more authority than any other christian, but you worship him like a god, you say you don't but you do...I was catholic for many years I have seen the way ALL CATHOLICS react to the pope....Catholicism as a whole violates everything Christ stood for, but you wrap it up in dogma and add a bunch of man made religion to it, that way you give it authority..... LOOK at your bible, where in the bible does it say annnyyything about a pope...yes Jesus says on this rock PETERRRRRRRR, and yes he gave special authority to the Apostles, Catholics add there man made to it, no priest can forgive you of your sins, you are in sin every time you ask them to, you are in sin every time you call them father.....My goodness man, JUST READ YOUR BIBLE.
Faith when judging thinks like this I emplore you to look into the facts. Catholics are Christians and also belong in the Christian family. We are one and are also going by the bible's teaching. I'm perplexed as to where you are getting this information. No where in catholic dogma is she put as a goddess of divine. Please re read about Catholicism. We are brothers and I think when you actually read and know Catholicism, you may change your mind and possibly your heart.
Jimbo nope but it definitely would be if Catholics were true Christians. Catholics are joining Islam as we speak and that's why the pope refuses to say anything bad about them including Isis! Actually it was Catholicism that started Islam 1500 years ago with the plans of coming together in the future. Satan is extremely smart and is literally deceiving people with the truth mixed with lies and people are falling for it. The Bible prophesied a one world religion in the end times ran by Satan and the Vatican is at the front of it! There's very few people who actually follow the Bible. Just because someone claims to be Christians doesn't mean they are Christians!
Sharon Mccaffrey the narrow path isn't sacraments. It's people who are heading towards destruction! The path is wide that leads to destruction and the path to the gates of heaven is narrow! You have been extremely brainwashed and it's very sad and unfortunate! Well I guess the priest that brainwashed you and everyone else are heading to hell since they can't complete your man made sacraments since they're not allowed to get married. Those are your words not mine! Ever though the Bible says they MUST be married! Maybe if they got married they would leave the children alone! Now there's a good idea! You are to brainwashed that you can't even see how you contradicts not only the Bible but also yourself! Those are great Ten Commandments the Catholics cult gave you, but try knowing Gods Ten Commandments because the Catholics have changed the word for god. They removed the commandment that tells you you're not allowed to make idols. You know things like statuses, and other ridiculous items like that. You know the exact same things every Catholic organization is full of and the followers homes and cars! And then they spilt another commandment into two so it would still be Ten. And Jesus never said to physically eat his body and drink his blood literally! Keep reading the scriptures directly after to see to context. The Bible is completely against cannibalism. Satan and his followers are the ones who are into cannibalism. Let that sink in for a moment! You need to repent and worship Jesus Christ only and follow the true gospel of salvation which comes from our apostle Paul and you find it in 1 Corinthian's 15:1-4! If you're believing in vain which is to depend on your works to get into heaven you will be extremely disappointed because you can't earn your salvation in anyway. It's by grace through faith ONLY! Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 2:8-9, read Galatians chapter 3 to find out what happens to those who depend and count on what they do! They definitely don't end up in heaven and that means you're only going to end up in the only other place which isn't purgatory it's hell, because purgatory doesn't exist! 🙄
Sharon Mccaffrey can you say what you think I contradicted? Nothing I said contradicts the words of Jesus Christ. If you're going to call someone out you might want to actually mention what you're talking about!
God bless you too. Please consider coming to the Traditional Latin Mass as well and reading on the Great Warning of Our Lady of Garabandal. Pax Christi.
@Ed B Chick tracts are pretty easy to refute, mostly because they're based on falsehoods and misunderstandings of Catholic doctrine. They did a terrible job with the Mass, for one, for we do not teach that Jesus is re-crucified. 1 Cor 4:14-15: _"...I admonish you as my dearest children. For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you."_
Ironically, Newman's Doctrine of Development was latched onto because the previous Roman Catholic claims that all their dogmas were handed down from the apostles became historically untenable, even by the late 19th century. Go look for the book "From Bossuet to Newman"
geoffrobinson not true either. Newman didn't even begin the issue of doctrinal development, that is clearly an ancient teaching, read up Vincent of lerin
But the thing is, Roman Catholicism has a bunch of historical issues. There's no early papacy. The best evidence we have (also mentioned by Catholic theologians) is that we didn't even have a single head bishop in the city of Rome The dogma of the Assumption of Mary is completely absent from the historical record of the church at least until the 4th century of so. We even have a bishop in Jerusalem saying that they have no idea what happened to Mary. But somehow in 1950 Rome changed all that? You may like the quote. You may come from a denomination that is shallow on history. One where you know nothing of Christianity prior to Billy Graham. But I assure you this quote isn't even remotely a good one. If you want to actually honestly see where we're coming from, I would highly recommend listening to these lectures: www.christiantruth.com/audiolectures.php
Hi,Lizzie,I just want to thank you for the explanation,I'm a 15-year-old Catholic girl and a few weeks ago I've been doubting about the real presense of Jesus in the Eucharist because I have many Protestant friends and some of them say that Catholics worship "a piece of bread" so I was about to believe in them.I cried when I was watching this video, and now I can say that I never been so sure of my faith.I will pray for you. God Bless you ❤ (PS:Sorry for my bad English,I'm from Brazil so my first language is Portuguese)
Livia Carvalho; I was just going to say your last name sounds Portuguese.Have you been to Fatima; Portugal.The Virgin Mary will keep you on track with her Son. Yes many protestant wolves in South America especially Brazil are stealing the sheep.Be on your guard.As Lizzie mentioned when in doubt go to John. Read online John chapter 6.Keep the catholic faith.God Bless.
john b john b john b No,I never been to Fátima,Portugal,I wish I could visit there,but I know one day I will lol. Sadly some people are trying to lie to us,saying false things about the Eucharist and the Virgin Mary but I will keep my guard,I have to admit that I need to read the bible more often. God bless you too.
Hi Livia. I had these questions once during adoration and the following occurred to me. In addition to what Lizzie said, if God was incarnate in Christ as a human being, as matter, having a body, then we can have faith in the Eucharist. We don't worship every piece of bread, but specifically this piece, because He instituted it as a sacrificial food and spiritual food for us. It is of Himself, wholly, and He gives Himself to us.
Livia Carvalho; Everything is not written in the bible.More importantly one must pray. John 21;25 25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written. Catholics don't believe in sola scriptural.We believe in Sacred/Oral Traditions meaning passed down from the church and apostles.
Nós nos acostumamos a ouvir calúnias de alguns protestantes com muita passividade, eu acho. Mas a melhor forma de responder é com a caridade, como o Senhor nos ensinou. Saiba que vários como eu (criado evangélico) estamos descobrindo a Igreja de verdade - meu batismo é nessa Páscoa, por exemplo! Deus abençoe
This is so encouraging to hear. I was raised Catholic and left the faith. However, through the grace of God was able to come back to it. I’m now a seminarian and will make sure to keep you in my prayers, as I do with all who are in RCIA!
Catholicism is a completely unbiblical, they worship their own commandments of men and have the audacity to put you under these. Weird teachings that says "Do Three Hail Marys!", "Plead The Blood", "Mother Of God" all which causes you to curse yourselves. They are so deceptive and so prideful that they tell you that God has a Mother and a co-redeemer instead of just saying Jesus was born of a virgin called Mary on earth. The Mother of God that they worship is actually secretly Innana, Ishtar, Diana or Diana Lucifera, it's basically Lucifer. This however is in the Bible, the Queen of Heaven is who they really worship and it's in the Old Testament. They put you under the law again and they torment you with false teachings so you will never be able to come to the truth and worst of all, they even make false denominations. Just stick with your Bible and let Jesus lead you, lean not on your own understanding or flesh but study everyday
It's good to see a fellow Tolkien fan who is also a Catholic - so coherent, logic and cohesive. I find it very weird that most of Tolkien fans are pagans. If people really understood what Tolkien wrote, they would all be Catholics.
I've been a "practicing" Catholic all my life but hadn't received any of the sacrament but your story was one of my motivation. I was finally received into the Catholic Church on sun 4th of Aug 2019. Been so overwhelming. I bless God
Viva Cristo Rey! Please consider coming to the Latin Mass and reading on the apparitions of Our Lady of Garabandal and her prophecy of the Great Warning
I am also becoming catholic as well. Growing up protestant it was very difficult to not have a bias about the all the "weird" stuff that the catholic church does, LOL. I studied the hebrew roots movement for awhile because I felt like protestant christianity was so off from scripture but when I started studying the Catholic church and history I realized that the protestant religions are so off because they separated from Catholicism where the authority of the church explains the deeper parts of the new testament. Plus being a part of 2 thousand years of continuous history is really awesome!!
Bethany, the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ, not the Roman Empire which slaughtered Christians and against which the Church fought. Your assertion is absurd. Read the early church fathers as Lizzie recommended (the ones taught directly by the Apostles themselves), and you will see that you are mislead. The Catholic Church feeds the poor, shelters the homeless, builds schools and hospitals, educates the lowly, protects life at all ages, defends marriage, etc. etc. etc. These are fruits of the Holy Spirit, not works of Satan.
bethany russell I'm Orthodox, but what you just said is patently false. I was only able to see through such propagandist historical illiteracy when I went from Protestant to atheist years ago and had to grapple with such lies that I really wanted to hold onto in order to discredit Christianity in ANY way that I could. I was willing to believe ANYTHING that spoke contrary to Christianity, just like I was willing to believe ANYTHING that spoke contrary to Catholicism as a protestant. You need to really challenge yourself and not be scared of what you find. Truth trumps fear.
I came to the Comment section and was surprised at the amount of people who are welcoming her and sharing their stories... this really touched my heart. God bless♥️
Nathaniel Guipe read the Bible and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Be taught by the Holy Spirit, not by man. I was raised Catholic. Catholicism completely perverts the word of God. Jesus is the only way. Catholics pray to saints and Mary. They ask for intercession. This is necromancy which is forbidden by God. Mary was just a woman who was blessed by God. She was not sinless. Calling her sinless is blasphemy. So is calling the priest father, and the pope holy father. Another title of the pope is vicar of Christ which literally means replacement of Christ. Catholics believe in purgatory which their is no such thing. According to the Bible forbidding people to marry like in the Catholic Church is considered doctrines of demons. There is a reason the fruit of the Catholic Church is evil. More people have died, especially christians who did not bow to the pope, from the Catholic Church than any other organization on earth in history. The pope makes up new rules which is blasphemy. Why does the Vatican have an obelisk? Look at the giant serpent design in Vatican hall and the demonic looking Jesus behind the pope in Vatican hall. The Vatican is littered with occult symbolism. I've studied the occult for years. However, it is hard to point out occult symbolism to people unaware. Look at the popes mitre or hat. It comes from Dagon or nimrod the fish goddess of Babylon. Believe priest are required as mediators to forgive sins is blasphemy. Read the book of Acts. There is a reason you don't see the Holy Spirit manifest in the Catholic Church and in its followers. If you are not willing to follow Jesus first before any man or religion, then you not Christian and will have your part in the lake of fire. Read the Bible and pray in secret so the mysteries of the kingdom of God are revealed to you. Unless a man be born again, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. A friend of the world is an enemy of God. Whoever loves the world or the things of the world does not have the love of the father in him. Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive, knock and it will be opened. Here are some true ministries from the Lord I pray will bless you: cardboard box Church, the last reformation, torch of Christ ministries, and the ghetto gospel team. These are all on RUclips. God bless
If God wants sends you into a foreign country to recieve a miracle wouldn't you go? Your attitude is like the stubborn pharisees who refused jesus divinity because they wanted things done their way instead of Gods way I order you to read the bible ,you're blind and so is your whole church We all have sweet things to give up for the truth :you're fighting the truth brother Lizzie is a deciever who even denies homosexuality is a sin I'm telling you take off the blind folds and read the bible coz nowhere in the bible does it forbid anyone from meditating and studying Gods word You might be risking your soul that church is a sham the very definition of wolf in sheeps clothing the lord warned many times about Please
I became a Catholic on May 13th 2018 (Mothers day, 2018). There were a few reasons I converted, personal life reasons. However, the EUCHARIST is a huge point I could hold on to.🌍

@@edgarespinosa7894 Physically and humanly impossible, but for God nothing is impossible, since Bible states on on Mt. 26, 26, and on every single mass thru the priest the transubstanciation is performed into real blood abd body of Jesus.
@@Nathanh56 Too much copy + paste and biased info in one single comment, she's happy being catholic let her be, or could you please provide me with a single Bible verse in which states that the catholic church is satanistic as you're blaspheming?
I was baptised as Christian Catholic, I went through different stages of my life, and I got lost in my ways but God is so amazing, as a Father and Mama Mary as my Mother, that after being in the darkness they pull me out, they helped me and brought me closer to Jesus. I am so delighted for you. Welcome, Sister in Christ. I am glad to hear that you found the truth. It is so beautiful how God Holy Trinity lead us to the truth and it is so beautiful to see that once we knock the door he will always open it. When we open our hearts to the truth. It is as the Word of God says: It will set us free. May God bless you and Mama Mary protects you. Do not be afraid to love Mary, remember her last words in the Bible were: 'Do whatever He tells you'. John 2:5, which means She will always lead us to Jesus Christ and She will teach us to obey and be the child of God that God wants us to be in all the possible ways, she gave example to this when Mary said, "Yes, I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to your word. Luke 1:38, She becomes the Mother of God, suffer while he was torture and rejoiced and stayed with his disciples until She was lifted up to join his Son. Mary is the daughter of God, The spouse of the Holy Spirit and the Mother of Jesus Christ. Huge hugs all the best.
I’m so excited for you! I too am entering the Roman Catholic Church. I won’t be confirmed at Easter but will be confirmed in May due to my late arrival in RCIA. I was just like you in my thoughts of Mary. Coming from the Methodist church everything is different but having a relationship with Mary is really different lol. I have though grown closer and feel so much more comfortable. I really feel like she’s brought me closer to Jesus. Can’t wait for the next video! God bless.
It is a little difficult, but it’s basically the relationship between a mother and son. I love Mary and have a relationship with her, but I could never love her more than Jesus does.
I never clicked on a video so fast! 😆 The conversation with my Protestant parent was the hardest for me, but knowing that I get to experience Jesus in the Eucharist almost every day makes every sad phone call/conversation with my mom so worth it! Again, I'm so happy for you, and am praying SO HARD for you! 💜💜💜
There's a book called Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist by Brant Pitre that goes into detail about how the Eucharist is the fulfillment of the bread of life foreshadowed all throughout the Old Testament. Maybe buy a copy for your mom as a gift to help her understand why you converted and what she's missing out on.
I came out of (still am in?) a CoC Christian tradition, but I am definitely heading toward Rome. The more I study and logically think through it all, the more Catholicism looks truest. I relate so much to you right now. Thanks for sharing! It’s very encouraging to me.
The Catholic Religion is beautiful. Visually and Spiritually. No doubt, there will be ups and downs. Sometimes you might even wonder or question your Faith, but Oh My God, once you become immersed in Catholicism, the Truth will set you free :) God Bless all of you :) Deus te Benedicat
Your testimony is beautiful and mesmerizing! I can tell how sure you are in your decision to convert, and I am so proud of you, even though I don’t know you personally. You’re taking the greatest step you ever could, and I hope that you’re able to maintain your passion, because hard times will come your way. In all things, know that you have a community of brothers and sisters, both in general and here on RUclips(like myself) who are praying for you and will help you anyway you need, even if it’s just prayer. Praying for you sister!!
Absolutely beautiful. I was so torn between the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church not too long ago, but I chose to become catholic from the same reasoning you provided in the video. We can have many Christian churches that can claim “our church is based on the Bible”, not many churches can say “we are the church that the Bible was based off of”. That’s what I truly believe about the Catholic Church. It is the Church that the Bible was based off it. So in order to fully interpret the Bible correctly we have to read it in the context of the Church itself.
Raziel Gutierrez Since the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus, we have a much greater protection against Satan than Protestants do. I’m the Catholic Mass, you will see more than ninety scripture references.
Can you explain why we worship Mary to the point when we pray we Hail Mary 50 times and god 5 times in the rosary or how Catholicism says that the only way to Jesus is through Mary but Mary is dead a human bieing , there is just so many more holes in Catholicism
@Patrick Montgomery no one in the Catholic Church says you *_need_* to go through mary? If they do that is anti Catholic and quite frankly heresy. When Christ gave Mary to John whilst in agonizing pain on the cross, He declared to John, "behold your mother". The Bible describes John as "the disciple Jesus Loved" So as the Bible ascribes these traits to John, like him, Catholics (all Christians really) try to follow in John's steps inviting Mary into our Hearts and homes. Mary implored her son's help at the wedding feast at Cana, wherein which He was RELUCTANT. Even still, as reluctant as He was, Christ was compelled to help His "earthly" Mother even though He was in fact her God. This is why we ask Mary to implore on our behalf to her son, that He may be compelled to help us even when HE may be reluctant. if Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, then *_His_* compassion towards *_His_* "earthly" Mother is the same yesterday today and forever.
I was nervous too...my journey was 40 years long. But I really think you will love your RCIA classes. Honestly it made such a difference. The teachers are so loving and gentle and they give you time and understanding so that I don't feel pressured. I felt SO lead to do this and yet it's so huge that I get your nervousness...(except that I don't discuss it on a RUclips channel...as I'm an old gal) You're a brave and honest girl who had searched so earnestly and your videos are delightful. I am keeping you in my prayers. Hugs xxx
I have been searching to find a catholic you tuber because I am Catholic and really want someone to relate to and listen to their thoughts. I am really happy for you and your conversion. I am keeping you in my prayers. I hope that on this journey down the path of Catholicism you encounter God in ways you have never before and that you become the best version of yourself. There will be ups and downs, but never let you faith waver. The journey of conversion can feel like you are betraying your old faith, and there might be hate for that, but I hope you stay strong and let God take the wheel. I'm praying for you. ❤️️
I'm a Catholic and your conversion made me feel happy ang grateful. Bothers and Sisters, welcome home to the fold. Let's journey home side by side Praising and thanking God of His Goodness.
I have always been catholic but I saw a video of Father Mike Schmitz it was on the Eucharist.. that’s when I felt in love with Jesus ! I’m so glad we have a similar conversation
Padre Teodoro you are a liar and a hypocrite. You no longer consider usury a mortal sin and you are allowed to charge interest with church funds. The entire world hates today's so called Catholic Church which has a vatican bank. The Pope speak about greed but allows usury. You today have a cabbalistic Church, you can read the Occult Renaissance Church of Rome by Michael hoffman and Usury in Christendom:the mortal sin that was and now is not by the same author.
What are you talking about, I talk about usury and sodomy in the Catholic Church and their Cabbalistic front and what do you bring up for your defence, a single example that is even incomprehensible. Explain to me why the Vatican make interest on money that is prohibited by the Gospel? And please apologize for calling me a religious bigot when you refuse to answer my question regarding usury.
Once again, you have not apologized and you refuse to answer my question. In Luke it says lend freely expecting nothing in return meaning not to take interest on money. According to canon law of 1983, the Vatican has the obligation to take interest on church funds. In 1515, the Pope urged the Catholic confessors of not ''disturbing'' the ''Catholic and orthodox'' usurers. In 1745, Vix Pervenit by Benedict the XIV allowed usury to be practiced through loopholes such as through external titles on loans which allowed the continuation of usury and then in code of canon law of 1917 profit on a loan was permissible on a fungible good as long as it agreed with civil law.
Welcome to the Catholic Church. I converted from the Church of Christ over a decade ago. It was hard for my friends there to accept, and some even stopped speaking to me altogether. It was hard, but it was worth it. I had fought this conversion. I tried to disprove it...and now I'm married to a Catholic deacon who was once an athiest trying to disprove the teachings of the Catholic Church. The Church of Christ is such a beautiful community, sincerely trying to reach the Christianity of the early church. I love seen so many of my brothers and sisters there studying their way into the Catholic Church. I love seeing conversion stories like yours. God bless you and may you receive all the graces necessary for a wonderful First Communion, Confirmation....
I love your blog Lizzie keep it up 💕🙏God bless you always 😘🙏 I’m a catholic and proud that atleast one of us is good to voice out our side as a Catholic 💕❤️
Hi, Lizzie. Thank you so much for sharing your story for us and explaining why you've chosen this path. Your story reminds me a lot of mine, though I've decided to become part of the Eastern Orthodox Church. But with that said, I still love me Western brothers and sisters, and I'm so happy for you and your journey to the Western Church. Congratulations on your becoming Catholic. I'll continue to pray for you as I have since I found your channel. God bless!!
And we love you, and respect you, and as others have said, we pray so earnestly for the day that Jesus words, Ut unum sint! will be fulfilled! God bless you. And please pray for us!
Redwood Mystic welcome home my friend!! So glad you’ve come to Christ’s Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church! Never stop growing and praying. God bless!
Turn back for Heaven's sake! They teach penitence instead of repentance! They teach rosary praying which Jesus forbid. Matt 6.7 "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking." They teach traditions of men instead of commandments of God!
Bad Medicine Go somewhere else with your heresy, brother. A Catholic who tells you to just pray the rosary and nothing else is a shite Catholic. Christ himself told us to recite the Our Father and half of the Hail Mary comes from Bible passages. If it's a sin to recite what Christ told and passages from the Bible then I guess I'm going to Hell. It's not about recitation, it's about thinking doing so will bring an affect or a change in itself which is akin to magic. Personally, I used it to meditate on the mysteries of God. Think about this, if you have to confess your sins, like Catholics, you're going to think twice before commiting a sin. Also how would you explain the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches who don't typically practice the rosary or even the belief in the Pope but still have like every other things that Catholics do? Protestantism is just selfish Christianity that'd rather be more like the American libertarian system of government than a church of Christ. Protestants have no respect for history or tradition but respect feeling over truth.
I`m crying because my story is similar to yours. It's amazing how your life changes when you convert to catholisism and you really live catholisism. All I can tell you is that you will discover a lot of gorgeous things about Jesus and God, but the way will become harder, because you will became closer. Pray for protection every day, we need it the most, believe me. You will become target to the devil, you will feel sometimes that you lack faith, that you cant pray or connect with God like before. But after you pass through all that, you get a new gift. It never ends though, it will be your cross of everyday. Learn to love your cross.
I am in the process of converting to Catholicism and your videos have been so helpful to me. I just "came out" to my mother yesterday and told her I will be converting. So I get the having to hold back tears when thinking about those moments. Thank you for being so helpful to me in this journey! ❤
WOW! I can't even tell you just how inspiring and amazing this is for Me! I actually thought about coming back to the Catholic church BECAUSE of your other videos. This is tugging at my heart big to continue to seek the Catholic church even more now. I still question so many things like you once mentioned, like the Pope, etc. I can't wait to see more Catholicism videos from You! Many blessings, I wish I could give you a giant hug for posting this! ♡♡♡♡♡
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE MESSAGE IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR SOUL Hello ,I want to tell you that the traditional Catholicism is the only right way and denomination because the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ who made St Peter the first pope and since that time all of the Peter's succesors were popes which guided the universal Church and I will provide you with absolutely UNDENIABLE AND IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE WHICH YOU MUST CHECK IN ORDER TO SAVE YOUR SOUL.However,the Vatican was infiltrated by Freemasons after the Second Vatican Council and that is why the Vatican is in a disastrous situation.This apostasy in the Church does not disprove Catholicism but on the contrary proves it because the traditional Catholic prophecies by MOST HOLY AND MIRACOLOUS SAINTS IN HISTORY WHICH CAN ONLY BE FOUND IN CATHOLICISM together with the prophecies of Our Lady of Fatima(which was the SECOND BIGGEST MIRACLE IN HISTORY AFTER THE RESSURECTION),our Lady of good success and Our Lady of La Salette warned about this massive apostasy and great crisis and this is precisely why we have someone so wicked and satanic like Antipope Francis.Thus to be saved one needs to embrace the traditional Catholic faith and reject the heresies of the Second Vatican Council and Antipope Francis who is an evil heretic.You can know that Catholicism is true because the Bible proves the teachings of the Catholic Church(I will leave the links to very important videos below).You can also know this because of the uninterrupted number of miracles throughout the whole history of the catholic church which scientists were not able to disprove and the most holy saints which had strong prophetic visions and prophecies of things which are fullfilled in these latter days.I RECOMMEND YOU TO CHECK THE WEBPAGE MHFM(VATICANCATHOLIC.COM) for critical soul saving information and contact them if you need any help or if you are in doubt. NOW I WILL GIVE YOU IMPORTANT LINKS TO THE IRREFUTABLE BIBLICAL AND HISTORICAL EVIDENCE THAT PROVE CATHOLICISM.PLEASE CONSIDER AND CHECK THIS CRITICAL MATERIAL AND OVER TIME YOU WILL REALISE WHAT THE TRUTH IS AND HOW TO BE SAVED.PLEASE BE OPEN MINDED IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND CONSIDER THE MATERIAL WHICH I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH.

Marko Bagic, those who put their faith in Christ will be saved regardless of whether they are catholic or protestant or neither. A man on an island could pray and know Christ with a Bible or without. It is very simple. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. Love Him with all your heart, mind and soul and your neighbor as yourself.
Kennedy, if you ever want to talk... I'd be more than willing to answer any questions you have about the Catholic Church or give you resources that may help.
Woohoo! I am so excited for you Lizzie! I have been following you since you put out your video last year "10 Lies Protestants Believe about Catholicism" . I myself was a "Re-vert" back to the Catholic Church and went through the RCIA program just like you. I came into full communion and received my Sacraments last Easter 2017. Now I am helping teach RCIA for adults this year and preparing my students for their Sacraments, especially receiving Jesus' body, blood, soul, and divinity wholly in the Eucharist. :) I wish you the best on your journey, and encourage you to go back and give testimony to the the conversion of your mind, conversion of your heart, and conversion of your spirit. People who are in RCIA need to hear it. God bless you.
Some friends of mine, a married couple from the Church of Christ, are now joining the Catholic Church. The husband is returning as he was raised Catholic. We recently surprised each other and found out the same day the we're each joining the Catholic Church. So amazing and encouraging. I'm from the ICoC (Boston Movement). My RCIA instructor was also in the Church of Christ also. Were you a minister before converting?
I warn you, the Catholic Church is actually pagan. The Bible warned about it, they worship the Queen of Heaven, Diana Lucifera also called Diana, Ishtar, Innana or Mother Of God and not Mary and you should never worship Mary but God. A very clever name alteration. They teach you the commandments of men which are not in the Bible and false doctrines. False doctrines of Catholicism: 1. Mother of God is Mediator. 2. Pope also called Father is the replacement of Jesus on earth. 3. The idea of repetition in prayer. 4. That statues are good to "venerate". Doctrines of the Bible: 1 Timothy 2:5-6 "5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." Matthew 23:9 "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." Matthew 6:7 “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” Exodus 20:4 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:" Now these are in almost every Bible translation even in the Catholic Bible but they removed one of the Ten Commandments in their doctrines that forbid idols and graven images such as statues of "Mary".
dude, you are seriously deluded. you can interpret the scripture any way you want. If you are raised in the Protestant church you are trained to believe the Catholic church is a lie. Anyone who researches the Bible and the early church history will come to the conclusion that the Catholic Church is the true Church that Jesus established on earth. But I don't blame you, you have been raised in an environment to hate the Catholic Church. It takes real courage and God's grace to actually see the truth. God bless you.
Fr. Justin Freeman read the Bible and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Be taught by the Holy Spirit, not by man. I was raised Catholic. Catholicism completely perverts the word of God. Jesus is the only way. Catholics pray to saints and Mary. They ask for intercession. This is necromancy which is forbidden by God. Mary was just a woman who was blessed by God. She was not sinless. Calling her sinless is blasphemy. So is calling the priest father, and the pope holy father. Another title of the pope is vicar of Christ which literally means replacement of Christ. Catholics believe in purgatory which their is no such thing. According to the Bible forbidding people to marry like in the Catholic Church is considered doctrines of demons. There is a reason the fruit of the Catholic Church is evil. More people have died, especially christians who did not bow to the pope, from the Catholic Church than any other organization on earth in history. The pope makes up new rules which is blasphemy. Why does the Vatican have an obelisk? Look at the giant serpent design in Vatican hall and the demonic looking Jesus behind the pope in Vatican hall. The Vatican is littered with occult symbolism. I've studied the occult for years. However, it is hard to point out occult symbolism to people unaware. Look at the popes mitre or hat. It comes from Dagon or nimrod the fish goddess of Babylon. Believe priest are required as mediators to forgive sins is blasphemy. Read the book of Acts. There is a reason you don't see the Holy Spirit manifest in the Catholic Church and in its followers. If you are not willing to follow Jesus first before any man or religion, then you not Christian and will have your part in the lake of fire. Read the Bible and pray in secret so the mysteries of the kingdom of God are revealed to you. Unless a man be born again, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. A friend of the world is an enemy of God. Whoever loves the world or the things of the world does not have the love of the father in him. Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive, knock and it will be opened. Here are some true ministries from the Lord I pray will bless you: cardboard box Church, the last reformation, torch of Christ ministries, and the ghetto gospel team. These are all on RUclips. God bless
@@Nathanh56 bro without your mom you will not be born on this earth, be thankful just as Jesus. Why in Heaven God is His ultimate power still used A woman to conceive His begotten son If He himself can make Him that like making the first man Adam.??? Because trough Mary you have Jesus. Praise her because she is a lowly and humble servant who accepted God's will without question. If you don't want the Catholic teachings then go forth yourself, spread your faith and good deeds to others. Do not be anxious on the Catholic faith, if it will not inline with your beliefs, because it's you who can save yourself and God's divinity for your salvation.. Spread love bro, Do not hate catholics, we didn't hate any protestants we are willing even to accept them back. God bless 😇 God bless.
I never relized how privileged I was to not have to search for the true church but just stay in it. I think you are more worty of being called catholic than me, because you are cathoilc now for conviction, i was catholic for tradition. Makes me apreciate more my church.
george zaggogiannis Here's my response to that "rock hard reason and logic"... There's this thing called symbolism. Jesus used it a lot. He spoke on lots of parables. Jesus also called Himself "the door," "the vine," "living water," and the "Good Shepherd." If Peter being given "the keys to the kingdom" made him the pope, how come none of the disciples could agree on who was in charge? How come Jesus didn't tell the other disciples to obey Peter? Isn't the Pope supposed to be infallible? Didn't Jesus call Peter "Satan?" Didn't Peter proceed to deny Jesus 3 times? How come Peter cut off the servant's ear in the garden when Jesus was being arrested if he knew that Jesus' plan was not to fight? "Pontifex Maximus" is the title of a pagan priest. The first time that it was used in reference to the Pope, the person who wrote it was making fun of the Pope for claiming more authority than he had. What happened to us all being priests? What happened to Jesus being the ONE mediator between God and man? The only place in the Bible where it talks about a "queen of heaven" is in reference to a pagan deity. Jesus said that His mother and brothers were those who obey Him. You have been led astray.
Kate you're fighting the losing battle. When the pope makes outrageous non-biblical, sometimes anti-biblical statements, and people aren't kicking the door down demanding he step down, you know we're living in the end times.
Our stories are similar: I left Protestantism about the same time as you did and for the same reasons, but especially because of the Real Presence in the Eucharist. I was a Methodist pastor for sixteen long years, the son of a Methodist pastor and brother of a Baptist pastor. But I too found that Catholicism was closer to Scriptural Christianity.
Welcome Home, brother. God bless you. I am the daughter in law of a Lutheran Pastor and converted to Catholicism just last year. Your situation must have taken much courage. I am so happy to be Catholic. Happy to read about your entry into the Church!
Thank you so very much for your words of welcome, although I am not yet fully entered into the Catholic Church. I sent my application to the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, and so I am still waiting for word from the Holy See. In a sense, I am still between the Rubicon and the Tiber, waiting to be allowed across.
Hope Jordan Guerrero I have been taught to have respect for people of all religions, but I personally feel that Catholics have to many beliefs that just don't work for me! There is no scriptural references to NUNS. They BELIEVE they will marry Jesus CHRIST, well thats polygamy! So all of this is just confusing to me! And NUNS lay in coffins for 9 hour's straight then they can be a nun, then the priest gives you a new NAME and your not allowed to use your birth name! You give up your family, and you don't ever talk with them! The first commandment in the BIBLE given to mankind, is to multiply and REPLENISH the EARTH, well there not allowed to keep that commandment, according to there rules!
Padre Sam There's a party in heaven celebrating her deciding to not believe in Salvation through faith alone in Christ alone but through a combination of her works Jesus' works and the "Saints" works as well as grace? Umm... No. If you have to work for it, it's not grace.
Kate the Great The one place the Bible has "faith" and "alone" in the same sentence is James 2:17 "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." Don't get me wrong, catholics are lost in their own unbiblical traditions of men.
Bad Medicine it's just faster than saying "salvation by faith, not by works". Also, the word for faith in James is different from the kind of faith that I am talking about.
Kate the Great, "salvation by faith, not by works" is *not* in the Bible either. We are *justified* by faith, but saved *through* faith. And it's not "by works" but *"of* works." These are subtle yet significant differences. Eph 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved *through* faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not *of* works, lest any man should boast." Nor does the Bible teach that salvation is through "faith alone" no matter how you phrase it. The Bible teaches justification and sanctification, grace and truth (Col 1:6), faith and verity (1Tim 2:7), repentance from dead works (Heb 6:1) and obedience (Heb 5:9). John 3:21 But he that *doeth truth* cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. *"the word for faith in James is different"* The only difference between pistis faith and pisteōs faith is the case. Same word, Strong's 4102. However, there is a difference in the two words for believe in John 3:36. biblehub.com/interlinear/john/3-36.htm
Thank you so much for posting this video. My family is LDS and it has been very very hard for me to accept that Catholicism is the truth and they have pushed back really hard and are really hurt and this was the strength that I needed and the answers to my prayers
Hey Lizzie! I recently stumbled across your channel and have now subscribed. I am Kid Catholic I am a 12 year old catholic RUclipsr who posts a new video every Tuesday, teaching about Catholic truths. I am so happy you have converted! Obviously you are a much more popular RUclipsr then I so if you happen to have time in one of your videos a shoutout would be incredible! Obviously you don’t need to but if you could it would be great! Welcome to The Catholic Church!
I grew up Church of Christ, went to a Church of Christ college, did foreign work under the same and converted to Catholicism last year. This video captured perfectly my own journey as well. Being open to being wrong is sometimes a catalyst for positive change! Thank you and welcome home.
Ahhhhh!!! I just stumbled upon one of your videos and I was shook!!!! I had no idea that you converted. Lizzie, I remember watching your videos years back and thinking you’d love Catholicism!!!! I’m so glad you’ve joined us ^_^
Lizzie I'm writting a few books at the library and almost start to cry.... I'm gonna record a video to my Spanish and Portuguese audience... All my lent and Holy Week will be offered up for you. Welcome my little sister...
Christian Huerta acabo de ver el video de Lizzie wow!! Pero ¿¿sabes que me impresiono mas Christian?? Checa los comentarios, hay varios que dicen que estan en proceso de conversión gracias a su video... Dios bendito... saludos y espero tu video hermano.
Muy bien video que hiciste respect a este video, tocayo. Lo vi anoche y por eso me desperté inmediatamente a ver este video. Dios te bendiga, Sr. Huerta!
Yay!! Welcome home! I've been following you for a while, love your videos. I was watching That Catholic Couple this morning and saw the news, congrats! I just celebrated my 2 years back into the church on 2/10, which was Ash Wednesday back in 2016. I was baptised in the Catholic church as a baby and then my family never really followed up with church. I felt the pull as a teenager but never had any guidance. So finally, after a grueling journey of life without God, and much soul searching and studying, I came back 2 years ago at 37, and brought my family with me. every time i go to church i feel right at home. I love my church family. I love my Catholic faith and love encountering Jesus with communion and the liturgy every weekend and also in every day. I wish you all the best, God bless!
Amen sister. Welcome home. I personally did not believe in God 2 years ago but God show his love and presence and I naturally became Catholic because this Is the Church of God

nathan henry I really wish non-Catholics didn’t see us Catholics in a hatful and disdainful way because we as Christians are not suppose to act that way to one another, while pretty much every non-Catholic group criminalizes us and that’s hypocrisy. I have a few answers to some things you’ve said but I will admit that I do not have every answer to everything as I’m assuming you don’t have every answer to everything because I’m just a regular 18 year old Cradle-Catholic that sometimes does have struggles with her faith, sins, and has character flaws, as well as every other human being on this Earth. I’m not saying that us as Catholics are “The True People,” we are just all sinners that are going to the one, true, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church. So to clear things up, we do not pray to saints like we pray to God. We ask Saints in heaven to pray for us as intercessors just like how you would ask a friend to pray for you if you were going through a rough time, or a family member of yours is sick. Another thing is that Mary was claimed to be sinless. I mean look at her ascension into heaven, she went straight to heaven and only her and Jesus have done that(correct me if I’m wrong). This leads into the purgatory statement you’ve made and how there’s “no such thing.” First of all, and I mean this in a non-diminishing way, but how would you know? You’re not dead, and really how can any of us be certain as Christians about anything pertaining to the afterlife? It’s by faith we know and believe this. But to get back on track purgatory is a place our souls go after death to be cleansed of our sins before we go to heaven because there is no sin in paradise, so when Mary ascended into heaven, she had no sin and skipped purgatory(in layman’s terms, she got a fast-pass into paradise). So the next thing is the Pope. The Pope goes all the way back to Peter and his foundation and leadership of the Catholic Church. Jesus TOLD Peter to be the rock and the foundation of the new Church and to pretty much lead everyone to salvation(to be “fishers on men,” if you will). This position has been passed down to each Pope from Peter on till now and it is more than just one mans position. The Popes have converted and helped others throughout the ages which gives those people they’ve helped salvation. The Popes are only being disciples of Christ as Jesus has called all of us as Catholics to be. The next statement that I’ll comment on is that you said we forbid people to marry. I’m not entirely sure what you mean there but if you are talking about the Nuns and Priests then yes as do not condone marriage amongst those groups because they’re married to the Church and God. Becoming a Nun or Priest is their vocation(if you don’t know what that means look it up please) while some people’s vocation may be to marry and have children or to just live a single life. “There is a reason the fruit of the Catholic Church is evil.” This comment you made both stung a little bit and was confusing not gonna lie. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is good and pure and true and love and that is the exact opposite of evil? God gave us the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Fruits of the Catholic Church, so how can they be evil if God gave them to us and he is the true form of love and goodness. So the next thing is that you said that more people have died in the Catholic Church than pretty much anybody else. Well for one we have martyrs, which are people who die for their faith, and it is horrible but there are people that are still being persecuted TO THIS DAY for their faith, but I also think that it is a very brave and the most faithful way someone could leave this world and go into the next. It’s horrible that has happened to them but they obviously have a spot reserved in heaven. Another reason why we have so many people die in our faith is because we are older than any other Christian sect. Protestants stemmed off of us and some Protestants don’t even have every piece of the puzzle to match us. Some are missing specific books out of their Bible, some do not believe in certain sacraments and there is a list of a lot more things that we do and don’t have in common. Oh, and the Crusades were also a thing. There was a lot that happened but look it up from a Catholic historian perspective because history is both white-washed and Protestant biased. Post-Martin Luther’s division of the Catholic Church, the Protestants beat the Catholics to the printing press so many things in history are falsely portraying Catholics as evil because they’re Protestant biased. I’m not saying that there weren’t people in the Catholic Church that were bad, if anything we own up to any bad actions, but that’s from a person or a group of people. Their actions is not the Church itself, the Church itself is perfect. People inside are sinful. Hence why we’re going to Church. Also, you say that we’re an occult because of certain symbolisms in Churches. This goes back to a historical aspect of our Church. Not everyone could read and write in the early Church to roughly the late 1800s so Churches had paintings and stain glass windows to tell the stories of the Bible because most people could obviously not read the Bible unless you were from a rich family or were a monk or priest or something like that. So some stories depict some evil symbols such as the serpent because it’s a historical tradition that the Catholic Churches still have to tell the stories from the Bible. Soooo onto Confession. There is honestly a lot I can say about Confession but I’ll shorten it for now. It is a time where we go in to talk to a Priest about our sins and finally letting them go and be given up to God for his forgiveness. The last thing I’ll comment on from what you said is that you shouldn’t say that we, or anybody for that matter will be condemned to hell. First off it’s rude, second you won’t have people listen to you if you just tell them that they’re all sinners and are going to hell, thirdly I’m sure it’s some type of sin to scream hate at someone, sooo hypocrisy? Don’t tell people that ever because you’re not God and you don’t know. You don’t know anything about anyone else and what they could have going on in their life and I’m sure the last thing anyone needs is to be told that they’re going to hell. We just have to try to spread love and fellowship through our actions of helping each other out through this rollercoaster of life. Like I stated at the beginning, I don’t know everything about my faith and that doesn’t make me any less Catholic or any less a child of God it just makes me human. So my advice is go talk to a priest with a lot of questions and with an open mind about Catholicism if you want the truth.
Hi Lizzie. I also grew up in the Church of Christ denomination, and converted to Catholicism in 2012, and was received into full communion in 2013. You are in my prayers!
Hey lizzy I did the same thing last year. I was the assistant pastor in a baptist church. I wasn't content with the answers that I was given concerning the assembly of saints, so I started studying. I didn't want to have to leave all my friends behind and felt as if I was betraying everyone I loved in the baptist church. I actually lost a future wife. But all of the lost is nothing compared to Christ. Jesus finally revealed himself through the Eucharist and I burst out in tears knowing that it was Jesus. I then desided that the following day when I go to church I will speak with the pastor to tell him I won't be serving any more and will be leaving. This Easter I'm now going to join full communion with the Catholic Church. Oh, I'm also planning on becoming a Franciscan priest and friar. My journey should start this year. I would love you to add me on Facebook where we could share our stories better. May God bless you now and for ever.
I remember watching one of your videos before I saw this one and making a quick prayer to Mary saying "She's so close, please bring her home!" I almost cried when I saw the title of this video!
The Blessed Virgin is truly our greatest intercessor second to Christ. Please remember to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy this May 25th. Our Lady of Garabandal pray for us during the Great Warning.
No hate but this is what I don’t understand about Catholicism. You said you made a prayer to the blessed Mary saying “she’s so close, please bring her home”…. Isn’t it God who would bring someone home? In my eyes, you’re saying mother Mary is a god, who caused this last to be Catholic. I simply do not understand
I am so happy to see this video! I wanted to become a Baptist church pastor before converting to Catholicism. I know that it can be hard to give up on your prior aspirations, but it's worth it. Good for you, and welcome home. :)
I turned catholic to recently because of Christian history as well. You are SO smart for your age I can't believe how much you know. I love your videos God bless you
You make me cry again :') And I still think as catholic we don't deserve you in this crazy and messy catholic family :'D Love you so much in Christ. Blessings from Spain.
William Palmero Jiménez, You are right but is just the same as the Disciples, the Apostles...that had funny characters of which some ended up betraying Christ...Catholic Church is the best target for the Satan...Mt. 24.11-13
@Andino conquistador I’m not a Protestant though and I’m a mexican mestizo so I guess you were just implying that I’m not since I don’t use my real name as my YT account.
@Andino conquistador also the reason why the us has less natives than countries in Latin America is because the Spanish had babies with indigenous people and created mestizos continuing the native blood while the Americans tried to kill them all to make more room for their land and try to civilize it as they like to say since they didn’t like the natives.
As a “Cradle Catholic” I want to let you know that this video has moved me to tears. You conviction, and passion towards Catholicism, has me saying to myself “praise God, someone sees what my heart feels. And some someone can put to words what my heart beats for” I’ll be praying for you and your journey.
I applaud your courage Lizzie, a lot of those who become Catholic come into the church kicking and screaming (watch Tim Staples' conversion, or Scott Hahn) but to ask them now what they think and they will tell you they have gained much more than they lost. Its not always easy to follow our Lord and He tells us as much; which is why we're asked to take up our cross. Where is a person going when they are carrying a cross?.... to a crucifixion. We're give up *our* lives in order to gain the life that He wants to give us. Im proud of you and you will be in my prayers.
This is such a joy to hear! I was brought up and raised in the Catholic Church my whole life. I walked away for a number of years just being selfish and disobedient by doing my own thing. I visited several Protestant churches during that time but no one was able to answer my questions about authority. Long story short, I came back to the church of my childhood, the Roman Catholic Church last year February myself. Just hearing someone share that they did their own research rather than taking what they’ve been told their whole life as truth, brings a smile to my face. Welcome home, my sister🙂😇✝️
Helpful prayer tip: "...for all the people for whom I'm obligated to pray, and all those for whom I've promised to pray..." It was a survival method for me -- I have a HUGE family and lots of people to pray for. I'd be hours just naming them.
This is awesome. One of your videos played a part in opening my heart to the Catholic Church. I was so prejudice, not even certain they were part of my spiritual family. I was in a hopeless place last year and found hope in the Catholic Church. I'm now in RCIA and will be Confirmed at the Easter Vigil. Thank you for sharing your life. Have you read Christ In His Fullness by Bruce Sullivan? He is a CoC minister who converted. That book helped me, along with reading the early church fathers, and also looking at the history of the church. God bless!
Wow! thanks for sharing your testimony.As they say the truth will set you free.Pretty soon you will also be able to Taste the Lord and See that He is Good literally!
Wow Lizzie, this sounds so much like me right now. I don't want to be Catholic!! But it's as if I can't stop. I can't stop researching. Every protestant foundation is crumbling and I can't stop it. I remember watching your video on what you loved and hated about Catholicism when I first started searching. I wondered if you would eventually come home and you have!! May God bless You! Did you receive a lot of negative feedback from family or church friends?
I will keep you in my prayers. I am a cradle Catholic, who have attended several denominations , who came to the firm conclusion that the Catholic Church is the one Jesus founded. They canonized the Bible. Enough said!
God bless you. Please consider attending the Traditional Latin Mass and visiting the blog MaryRefugeofHolyLove as you undertake your journey. My prayers are with you. May Our Lady and Archangel Michael and the Principalities guide you.
Like I said on your last video you influence me to become Catholic. My journey began last lent as while. I group Seventh-day Adventist which is extremely anti-Catholic. To say my feels betrayed is understatement. My journey also begin around 15 when I left the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Keep up the research that’s what helps me it seems to help you too!
Lizzie, welcome home!! So thrilled for you and will continue to pray for you through the Lenten season. I am sponsoring one of my Protestant friends who is also coming into the Church at the Easter Vigil, just as I did four years ago. Like you, I was drawn by the Eucharist and the teaching of Scripture, particularly John 6 and the early Church's understanding of the Eucharist. As St. Peter answered Jesus when He asked if Peter would leave too (like many of his disciples who left due to their understanding of the bread of life discourse), “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." Once one's eyes are open to the understanding of Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist, we have no choice. So amazing to see how many Protestants are entering full communion with the apostolic Church. Such a gift we have. Blessings to you!
The same thing happened to me, sort of. My family is from Thailand, oddly enough, and I was raised Buddhist but at some point I realized I was Christian. I just didn't know which denomination. But like you I live in America and I got a lot of Protestant influence. I was actually really anti-Catholic starting out, but the more I researched the more I realized that it is the one true faith. I went through RCIA snd I got baptized this year.
Welcome home! Such a lovely story ❤❤❤ Please consider attending the Latin Mass and visiting the blog MaryRefugeofHolyLove if you haven't already God bless you and peace to you and your family, present and future
As someone who prepares for priesthood is uplifting to hear these testimonies, young persons that seek for the truth and find it here in the Catholic Church!! God bleds you and I will be praying for you... Also I shared your story with the other seminarians and they loved it!
Beautiful testimony of why you are becoming Catholic, thank you for sharing and explaining the reasons why in greater detail. I think so many people have the experience of being led into the Catholic Church against their own personal desires and will, until they finally surrender to the will of God. BTW, your eye makeup looks really pretty!
I have been praying for my conversion to be either Orthodox and Catholic and I recently chose Catholicism as well! I have enjoyed learning about your journey too. I am rooting for you! We are all rooting for you! God bless you!
I wish I became Catholic earlier, iv been Protestant for 33 years, and just made my first appointment to meet with the Catholic Church to discuss converting. Long overdue. Peace.
Per T Absolutely! Thank you! I hope that you have some good, practicing Catholics near you, and a nice Catholic Church that you can contact. I must warn you, the vaticancatholic.com channel that you follow on RUclips is anti-Catholic. PLEASE do not listen to their falsities and lies. God bless you.
floydfan82 Thank you for letting me know! God bless you too! Definetly didn’t know that they taught fallacies on the Church. What kind of things do they say?? Thank you for warning me🙏🏼
I am from Brazil, I was a Protestant and I converted (returned) to Catholicism for a year ... I cried with his testimony. God bless you a lot. Hail Mary Immaculate, Long live Christ the King.
Without Mary, Jesus would not have been born, she is the woman who stepped on the serpent's head, the woman surrounded by the sun! Hail Mary, the Immaculate Mother of our Lord, full of grace, blessed, Mother of God
Bejdza Jesus is the Mediator of humanity(way of Salvation, Immaculate Lamb, the Perfect Sacrifice) and just he... But intercession all the persons are intercessors... Example: How many times do you asked for a pray to some person? What is this? Intercession... Why God like this? Jesus could all alone? YES, of Course but he like use the persons that are part of your body like used Peter, and another apostles to heal etc... Jesus too they could became/incarnate Man without was born of a Woman? Yes. he could born like Adam of the ground? Yes but he liked use Mary like your mother... And she was gracefull by God, and in the Bible say "very generations call me blessed" , in Saint Luke 1:41-43 41.And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the HOLY GHOST: 42.And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43. And whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me? Or Revelation 12, Virgin Mary is described clothed with Sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars, Why is Mary Mother of Jesus and not other common evangelical definitions like just Israel or the Church? Because if you read the rest of Chapter, you know that woman is Mother of the Who was to rule all nations of a rod of iron(Jesus), and in Rv 12:17, is mentioned that the dragon/devil not achieving destroit the Woman neither the her Children, the dragon make war to remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ... And in this sentence the Bible called all Christians sons of Mary, or remmanecents of her seed...
You are going to Hell buddy. You can convert to whatever but Jesus said you must be born again. That baptism is not of the flesh but a change of heart and mind towards God to follow the teachings of Jesus. You have done neither since you were born on this earth.. Neither does the Bible command you to hail and glorify Mary. She will stand there on that day and condemn you to hell with tears if you don't repent man.
Reginald Cooper Another lost, "know it all" Protestant. You are so blinded by your pride that you fail to see that you are closer to hell than the brother you are criticizing. He has found salvation. You think you have, but you walk in darkess, dear brother. Prayers for your conversion. God bless.
Welcome home Lizzie! Christ gave us the priesthood before he died so there were priests from the start. :) Oh my gosh. You are so cute!! I'm so happy for you. God delights in you and your joy.❤
Lizzie I can see you as an apologist! You should consider this path!! Your really good in explaining the faith and explaining religion and the reason why Christianity is right. God bless.
Welcome home sister, I've always been Catholic! And whole family is protestant! My parents my sister and I are Catholic and they're always telling us that we're a wrong church, but what I see is that all my family are in differente churches such as pentecostals, apostles and prophets, church of Christ, the light of the world, etc. But I see that those churches have different doctrines, while the biblie says that there's only one church, one doctrine and one Gospel. Also we have to see the history of the church and the Catholic church is the only church that have existed since Jesus Christ founded in the year 33 in Israel, Matthew 16:18. Romans 16:17 says that there will be doctrines that would welcome you with hugs, they will talk to you with happiness, they would talk about Jesus, but they are deceiving their own spirit! So, Catholic church is the only Christian church, and nothing and nobody will destroy it!
@@Heavenly.Ministries oh really, what is an image for you? Cuz you say that we adore images, and most of the protestant believe that we are idolaters, just because we bow down to these sculptures??? Why are there so many ignorant people like you'll! You know that everything around us are images, right! If you don't trust, you can search for it in the dictionary! So, your own logic makes you ignorant, you are an image, animals are images, things are images, sculptures are images, etc, etc. If you bow down in front of your bed, ARE YOU ADORING YOU BED?????? Don't confuse image with pictures, or SCULPTURES, the bible prohibits IDOLS or fake gods that think that those have power, I have never seen a Catholic who says that an image is God! Images just represent the person who lived in the past, and it's just to remind us. Just protestans think that images are gods!
@@Heavenly.Ministries these sculptures and pictures are of the friends of God, those holy men and women who have faithfully followed Christ and inspire us with their holy lives. They are our family members, we DO NOT THINK THEY ARE GOD and WE DO NOT WORSHIP them! Please make sure you know what Catholics actually believe before making assumptions.
Unfortunately the RCC is also a "protestant church". It too broke away from the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC & APOSTOLIC CHURCH in 1054. You didn't know that did ya? The Holy Orthodox Church ALONE preserved the original Faith of Jesus Christ without the papal addons which came mostly during the last 700 years. Go & study church history.
@@nuns8126 if you are referring to Orthodoxy, Orthodoxy and Catholicism are very close in dogma and practice, we both believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist for example, the center of the Liturgy for both, sacred scripture and Apostolic succession. They were both part of the Great Church, the two lungs of the Church, East and West, of the first 1,000 years of Christianity. However, Orthodoxy is not unified which is what Christ prayed for "that they all be One". In my area there are Orthodox Churches which are Greek, Russian, Romanian, Ukrainian, Serbian and Ethiopian. I have Orthodox friends and none of them ever attend liturgies in other Orthodox communities and some they consider illegitimate and don't accept they are Orthodox. The Orthodox churches have become strongly linked to certain nations, languages and cultures. For a Catholic we can attend 50+ Catholic churches in our area alone and Catholic churches in every country of the world and we all belong to one community and one Church. We love our Orthodox sisters and brothers and hope that God in his grace can reunite us all again.
Congratulations on your tough decision! As a former protestant who became Catholic two years ago, I frequently come across objections from friends family and coworkers. I would recommend if you haven’t already, to look into Tim Staples, Steve Ray, and Scott Hahn’s videos and books, especially Steve Ray. They happen to all be protestant converts to Catholicism who had to wrestle with issues intellectually before they could take the plunge. Another thing that has helped me as far as learning about the faith and how to argue objections to it would be the program Catholic Answers, Which has tons of videos that you can watch on RUclips.
catholics are such fools, it's not what you put into your mouth but what comes out of your HEART that is important. TRUE CHRISTIANS HAVE JESUS CHRIST IN THEIR HEARTS, NOT JUST SOME PIECE OF BREAD!!
Lin Yen Chin, some piece of bread?? you don t know anything of transubstantiation during the Eucharist then. That s an act that Jesus did during the last dinner and we are replicating during the mass.
I was raised a Protestant until I was 20 and enjoyed reading the Bible. I fell into Athiesm and my life went into chaos. I hope to be joining the Catholic Church as well very soon. Christ is calling me there.
My mom used to belong to Church of Christ. I was TERRIFIED to tell her I was converting last year. She was hurt that I didn't invite her to the Easter Vigil because I converted when I was away from college. Now my mom started coming go Mass with me and she actually likes Mass. Also real presence was why I wanted to become Catholic. I will be praying for you Lizzie :) God bless
Your Mother is on the way as well. Holy Spirit working in her leading her to the Holy Mass.
Well done xx
Why did you left the church that hold on to the truth,is it because of the people?...or you were looking for worldly pleasure.which part of the catholic is true? Pope the universal father,priest were also call father? Christmas?taking bread once or twice in a year,music..multiple collection..woman that lead prayer in attendance of baptized man,kissing the pope hand,virgin mary..who had multiple childen,praying to mary as mediator..or the priest..come on you know it is totally wrong.doing this just for the sake of finding fame is an insult to god.

I was a Jehovah Witness. Left the society in 2014. Parents threw me out and lost everyone. For some reason I looked into the Catholic Church (although I always hated what I thought was the "Whore of Babylon") and it's teachings. To my complete shock, Everything made sense. As a Jw, I was taught lies and just believe it. But I knew I found the REAL Truth. That void I always felt was finally filled. Was baptized a Catholic 1/1/17.
I am now an altar server at my local Latin mass community and have a huge new spiritual family.

I had a job once. We got a new co worker. He was hardcore Protestant. He read his bible 4-5hrs a day !! He told me, “God gave me this job to help you become Protestant.”
We argued everyday for 5yrs. I kept hammering away at Isaiah 22. I kept telling him

No unity.

"The difficulty of explaining 'why I am a Catholic' is that there are ten thousand reasons all amounting to one reason: that Catholicism is true." - G.K Chesterton
I wish GK Chersteron was alive today. He would see a church that post-Vatican 2 doesn't believe the same things about salvation as before. He would see a bunch of respected Catholic scholars in good standing with the Vatican tell us that the papacy didn't exist early on. I guess you could find a lot of pre-Vatican 2 quotes that wouldn't hold up to any scrutiny today.
geoffrobinson I haven't come yet across any "Catholic" scholars who denied the papacy - only scholars who defend it. I know the Church went through a crisis of faith and lukewarm-ness though, and there were some really bad scholars and theologians who did not do the faith justice, but I think they've been on their way out, because I haven't come across them - I'm not familiar with any of these scholars names or their books.
//I haven't come yet across any "Catholic" scholars who denied the papacy - only scholars who defend it. //
The Roman Catholic Church: Its Origin & Nature by John F. O'Grady, page 146, footnote 11:
O'Grady is a Roman Catholic priest and professor of biblical theology
"11. The emergence of a single bishop in Rome probably did not arise until the middle of the second century. Linus, Cletus and Clement were probably prominent presbyter-bishops but not necessarily monarchical bishops. That Peter was the first bishop of Rome and founded the Christian church there can be found no later than the third century. Cf. O'Connor, Peter..., 207. See also Brown, Priest..., 53-54."
Peter in Rome Daniel W. O'Connor; Raymond Brown "Priest and Bishop
www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/evangelicals-docs/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_20111220_report-1993-2002_en.html
(25) Catholics see the work of the Holy Spirit in a number of significant developments in the early Church. These include the understanding of bishops as successors to the apostles; the emergence of the three-fold ministry of bishop, priest and deacon; the clarification of the apostolic faith especially by ecumenical councils and the universal creeds; and the gradual acknowledgement of the effective leadership of the bishop of Rome within the whole Church. Even from early times, the Bishop of Rome had a prominent role in fostering the communion of local churches over which bishops presided, the initial expressions of a primacy that developed over the centuries.
If I may bring out the implication of this: there wasn't an early papacy but we're putting a good spin on this.
Gk is the Bomb.
If Jesus is the Son of God then why does He call Himself Son of Man?
You seem to know a lot about Catholicism and i was curious what was holding you back. Kudos to you and we are over a billion strong. We got your back. Mary and the Saints got your back. The Church Fathers got your back.
You are an incredible witness to the Church. A perfect blend of honesty, emotion, and intellectualism. With your RUclips history and presence I know many hearts and minds will change.
I live in Germany, mother of the Reform. Almost every month we have a Protestant coming to our Church looking for baptism. I have been living here for more than 10 years and I was surprised by the numbers. Not only children's but also adults. And by the way, many people educated in the old "soviet union" system and were educated under atheism. They also look for the Church and got baptism.
Atheists. Agnostics. Protestants. Esoterics. Buddhists. MUSLIMS TOO. People from all backgrounds, people from several nations including India, Japan, Cuba.... they all look for baptism in my Church, Saint Agnes.
It's a blessing to see so many souls coming back to Christ and to His Church after so many years in atheism or Lutheranism.
Blessed be the Lord our King Jesus. I love you 💖💞💞💞

Congratulations on hearing and listening to that calling. The spiritual rewards are immeasurable. Look deeper. Contact your local Catholic parish for more information about classes or books to read.
I started out catholic, then tried other religions. I was searching for the ultimate truth. and then came back to catholicism. Each time I tried to leave Catholicism, something just kept pulling me back in. I will never leave this time.
whats pulling you back is Satan.
Faith no, this feeling of completeness doesn't happen elsewhere. I think all Christians have the gift of truth but Catholicism is completeness
I feel so sorry for you, Catholicism is man made, added dogmas by man, Christianity answers the question WHAT IS TRUTH....Catholicism violates and goes against EVERYTHING Jesus Christ stood for.....Catholics Go against the 10 commandants in every way, but then you use man-made dogma and "Tradition" to justify it. Where as the Christian needs nothing but Gods Word and a relationship with Christ...
I feel so much pitty and sorrow for Catholics, You twist and corrupt Gods precious word, There is NOTHING you can say to justify the things Catholics do....There is NO SCRIPTURE that supports it, BUTTTT there is a Book that 100% REFUTES Catholicism, it's called the bible....Go read your bible and try to find annnyyy scripture to support any of the stuff Catholics do....Catholics go against Gods word 100%......Mary was special yes she gave birth to Christ but that's where it ends, she is NOT divine in any way, she can't intercede for you she's DEAD you pray and ask a dead woman to go to christ on your behalf BLASPHEME...same thing with the saints....
You put emphasis on it because the Pope says so.....the pope is nothing, nobody he has no more authority than any other christian, but you worship him like a god, you say you don't but you do...I was catholic for many years I have seen the way ALL CATHOLICS react to the pope....Catholicism as a whole violates everything Christ stood for, but you wrap it up in dogma and add a bunch of man made religion to it, that way you give it authority.....
LOOK at your bible, where in the bible does it say annnyyything about a pope...yes Jesus says on this rock PETERRRRRRRR, and yes he gave special authority to the Apostles, Catholics add there man made to it, no priest can forgive you of your sins, you are in sin every time you ask them to, you are in sin every time you call them father.....My goodness man, JUST READ YOUR BIBLE.
Faith when judging thinks like this I emplore you to look into the facts. Catholics are Christians and also belong in the Christian family. We are one and are also going by the bible's teaching. I'm perplexed as to where you are getting this information.
No where in catholic dogma is she put as a goddess of divine. Please re read about Catholicism. We are brothers and I think when you actually read and know Catholicism, you may change your mind and possibly your heart.
It's interesting. I left 6 years ago. Everytime I start researching about it again or talk to a devout Catholic it keeps away even further.
The best part of Lizzie being #Catholic is she and I and 2 billion other Catholics will hear the same readings in mass tomorrow 😇😇😇
Remember the Bible says the wide path leads to destruction. So if you're part of the biggest group it's definitely not a good thing! 😉😉
@Nicholas James Welp, you're part of the biggest group. Christianity is the largest religion in the world!
Jimbo nope but it definitely would be if Catholics were true Christians. Catholics are joining Islam as we speak and that's why the pope refuses to say anything bad about them including Isis! Actually it was Catholicism that started Islam 1500 years ago with the plans of coming together in the future. Satan is extremely smart and is literally deceiving people with the truth mixed with lies and people are falling for it. The Bible prophesied a one world religion in the end times ran by Satan and the Vatican is at the front of it! There's very few people who actually follow the Bible. Just because someone claims to be Christians doesn't mean they are Christians!
Sharon Mccaffrey the narrow path isn't sacraments. It's people who are heading towards destruction! The path is wide that leads to destruction and the path to the gates of heaven is narrow! You have been extremely brainwashed and it's very sad and unfortunate! Well I guess the priest that brainwashed you and everyone else are heading to hell since they can't complete your man made sacraments since they're not allowed to get married. Those are your words not mine! Ever though the Bible says they MUST be married! Maybe if they got married they would leave the children alone! Now there's a good idea! You are to brainwashed that you can't even see how you contradicts not only the Bible but also yourself! Those are great Ten Commandments the Catholics cult gave you, but try knowing Gods Ten Commandments because the Catholics have changed the word for god. They removed the commandment that tells you you're not allowed to make idols. You know things like statuses, and other ridiculous items like that. You know the exact same things every Catholic organization is full of and the followers homes and cars! And then they spilt another commandment into two so it would still be Ten. And Jesus never said to physically eat his body and drink his blood literally! Keep reading the scriptures directly after to see to context. The Bible is completely against cannibalism. Satan and his followers are the ones who are into cannibalism. Let that sink in for a moment! You need to repent and worship Jesus Christ only and follow the true gospel of salvation which comes from our apostle Paul and you find it in 1 Corinthian's 15:1-4! If you're believing in vain which is to depend on your works to get into heaven you will be extremely disappointed because you can't earn your salvation in anyway. It's by grace through faith ONLY! Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 2:8-9, read Galatians chapter 3 to find out what happens to those who depend and count on what they do! They definitely don't end up in heaven and that means you're only going to end up in the only other place which isn't purgatory it's hell, because purgatory doesn't exist! 🙄
Sharon Mccaffrey can you say what you think I contradicted? Nothing I said contradicts the words of Jesus Christ. If you're going to call someone out you might want to actually mention what you're talking about!
I become Catholic 2 years ago best choice of my life ☺ God bless you all
God bless you too. Please consider coming to the Traditional Latin Mass as well and reading on the Great Warning of Our Lady of Garabandal.
Pax Christi.
@Ed B
Chick tracts are pretty easy to refute, mostly because they're based on falsehoods and misunderstandings of Catholic doctrine. They did a terrible job with the Mass, for one, for we do not teach that Jesus is re-crucified.
1 Cor 4:14-15: _"...I admonish you as my dearest children. For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you."_
@Ed B
Why the KJV?
how long did it take to convert to Catholic?

"To be deep in history Is to cease to be a protestant" - Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman
Ironically, Newman's Doctrine of Development was latched onto because the previous Roman Catholic claims that all their dogmas were handed down from the apostles became historically untenable, even by the late 19th century. Go look for the book "From Bossuet to Newman"
geoffrobinson not true either.
Newman didn't even begin the issue of doctrinal development, that is clearly an ancient teaching, read up Vincent of lerin
THE BEST quote
But the thing is, Roman Catholicism has a bunch of historical issues. There's no early papacy. The best evidence we have (also mentioned by Catholic theologians) is that we didn't even have a single head bishop in the city of Rome The dogma of the Assumption of Mary is completely absent from the historical record of the church at least until the 4th century of so. We even have a bishop in Jerusalem saying that they have no idea what happened to Mary. But somehow in 1950 Rome changed all that?
You may like the quote. You may come from a denomination that is shallow on history. One where you know nothing of Christianity prior to Billy Graham. But I assure you this quote isn't even remotely a good one.
If you want to actually honestly see where we're coming from, I would highly recommend listening to these lectures: www.christiantruth.com/audiolectures.php
Wonder how many victims he diddled, looked the other way, or called liars?
Hi,Lizzie,I just want to thank you for the explanation,I'm a 15-year-old Catholic girl and a few weeks ago I've been doubting about the real presense of Jesus in the Eucharist because I have many Protestant friends and some of them say that Catholics worship "a piece of bread" so I was about to believe in them.I cried when I was watching this video, and now I can say that I never been so sure of my faith.I will pray for you.
God Bless you ❤
(PS:Sorry for my bad English,I'm from Brazil so my first language is Portuguese)
Livia Carvalho;
I was just going to say your last name sounds Portuguese.Have you been to Fatima; Portugal.The Virgin Mary will keep you on track with her Son.
Yes many protestant wolves in South America especially Brazil are stealing the sheep.Be on your guard.As Lizzie mentioned when in doubt go to John.
Read online John chapter 6.Keep the catholic faith.God Bless.
john b john b john b No,I never been to Fátima,Portugal,I wish I could visit there,but I know one day I will lol.
Sadly some people are trying to lie to us,saying false things about the Eucharist and the Virgin Mary but I will keep my guard,I have to admit that I need to read the bible more often.
God bless you too.
Hi Livia. I had these questions once during adoration and the following occurred to me. In addition to what Lizzie said, if God was incarnate in Christ as a human being, as matter, having a body, then we can have faith in the Eucharist. We don't worship every piece of bread, but specifically this piece, because He instituted it as a sacrificial food and spiritual food for us. It is of Himself, wholly, and He gives Himself to us.
Livia Carvalho;
Everything is not written in the bible.More importantly one must pray.
John 21;25
25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.
Catholics don't believe in sola scriptural.We believe in Sacred/Oral Traditions meaning passed down from the church and apostles.
Nós nos acostumamos a ouvir calúnias de alguns protestantes com muita passividade, eu acho. Mas a melhor forma de responder é com a caridade, como o Senhor nos ensinou. Saiba que vários como eu (criado evangélico) estamos descobrindo a Igreja de verdade - meu batismo é nessa Páscoa, por exemplo! Deus abençoe
This is so encouraging to hear. I was raised Catholic and left the faith. However, through the grace of God was able to come back to it. I’m now a seminarian and will make sure to keep you in my prayers, as I do with all who are in RCIA!
Catholicism is a completely unbiblical, they worship their own commandments of men and have the audacity to put you under these. Weird teachings that says "Do Three Hail Marys!", "Plead The Blood", "Mother Of God" all which causes you to curse yourselves.
They are so deceptive and so prideful that they tell you that God has a Mother and a co-redeemer instead of just saying Jesus was born of a virgin called Mary on earth. The Mother of God that they worship is actually secretly Innana, Ishtar, Diana or Diana Lucifera, it's basically Lucifer. This however is in the Bible, the Queen of Heaven is who they really worship and it's in the Old Testament.
They put you under the law again and they torment you with false teachings so you will never be able to come to the truth and worst of all, they even make false denominations. Just stick with your Bible and let Jesus lead you, lean not on your own understanding or flesh but study everyday
It's good to see a fellow Tolkien fan who is also a Catholic - so coherent, logic and cohesive.
I find it very weird that most of Tolkien fans are pagans. If people really understood what Tolkien wrote, they would all be Catholics.
I've been a "practicing" Catholic all my life but hadn't received any of the sacrament but your story was one of my motivation. I was finally received into the Catholic Church on sun 4th of Aug 2019. Been so overwhelming. I bless God
Viva Cristo Rey! Please consider coming to the Latin Mass and reading on the apparitions of Our Lady of Garabandal and her prophecy of the Great Warning
I am also becoming catholic as well. Growing up protestant it was very difficult to not have a bias about the all the "weird" stuff that the catholic church does, LOL. I studied the hebrew roots movement for awhile because I felt like protestant christianity was so off from scripture but when I started studying the Catholic church and history I realized that the protestant religions are so off because they separated from Catholicism where the authority of the church explains the deeper parts of the new testament. Plus being a part of 2 thousand years of continuous history is really awesome!!

I'm also a Catholic convert from Protestantism! I converted last year! Welcome home Lizzie!!!
God won my heart during Lent through the Eucharist
And you have rejected Christ for bread and wine and religious experience... :(((
Welcome Home!! Jesus call who he wants!!
Bethany, the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ, not the Roman Empire which slaughtered Christians and against which the Church fought. Your assertion is absurd. Read the early church fathers as Lizzie recommended (the ones taught directly by the Apostles themselves), and you will see that you are mislead. The Catholic Church feeds the poor, shelters the homeless, builds schools and hospitals, educates the lowly, protects life at all ages, defends marriage, etc. etc. etc. These are fruits of the Holy Spirit, not works of Satan.
bethany russell
I'm Orthodox, but what you just said is patently false. I was only able to see through such propagandist historical illiteracy when I went from Protestant to atheist years ago and had to grapple with such lies that I really wanted to hold onto in order to discredit Christianity in ANY way that I could. I was willing to believe ANYTHING that spoke contrary to Christianity, just like I was willing to believe ANYTHING that spoke contrary to Catholicism as a protestant. You need to really challenge yourself and not be scared of what you find. Truth trumps fear.
Calvin Bulldog, Jesus disagrees with you. He did not say "This is bread and wine." Protestants do not believe the words of the Bible.
I came to the Comment section and was surprised at the amount of people who are welcoming her and sharing their stories... this really touched my heart. God bless♥️

Nathaniel Guipe read the Bible and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Be taught by the Holy Spirit, not by man. I was raised Catholic. Catholicism completely perverts the word of God. Jesus is the only way. Catholics pray to saints and Mary. They ask for intercession. This is necromancy which is forbidden by God. Mary was just a woman who was blessed by God. She was not sinless. Calling her sinless is blasphemy. So is calling the priest father, and the pope holy father. Another title of the pope is vicar of Christ which literally means replacement of Christ. Catholics believe in purgatory which their is no such thing. According to the Bible forbidding people to marry like in the Catholic Church is considered doctrines of demons. There is a reason the fruit of the Catholic Church is evil. More people have died, especially christians who did not bow to the pope, from the Catholic Church than any other organization on earth in history. The pope makes up new rules which is blasphemy. Why does the Vatican have an obelisk? Look at the giant serpent design in Vatican hall and the demonic looking Jesus behind the pope in Vatican hall. The Vatican is littered with occult symbolism. I've studied the occult for years. However, it is hard to point out occult symbolism to people unaware. Look at the popes mitre or hat. It comes from Dagon or nimrod the fish goddess of Babylon. Believe priest are required as mediators to forgive sins is blasphemy. Read the book of Acts. There is a reason you don't see the Holy Spirit manifest in the Catholic Church and in its followers. If you are not willing to follow Jesus first before any man or religion, then you not Christian and will have your part in the lake of fire. Read the Bible and pray in secret so the mysteries of the kingdom of God are revealed to you. Unless a man be born again, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. A friend of the world is an enemy of God. Whoever loves the world or the things of the world does not have the love of the father in him. Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive, knock and it will be opened. Here are some true ministries from the Lord I pray will bless you: cardboard box Church, the last reformation, torch of Christ ministries, and the ghetto gospel team. These are all on RUclips. God bless
If God wants sends you into a foreign country to recieve a miracle wouldn't you go?
Your attitude is like the stubborn pharisees who refused jesus divinity because they wanted things done their way instead of Gods way
I order you to read the bible ,you're blind and so is your whole church
We all have sweet things to give up for the truth :you're fighting the truth brother Lizzie is a deciever who even denies homosexuality is a sin
I'm telling you take off the blind folds and read the bible coz nowhere in the bible does it forbid anyone from meditating and studying Gods word
You might be risking your soul that church is a sham the very definition of wolf in sheeps clothing the lord warned many times about

I became a Catholic on May 13th 2018 (Mothers day, 2018). There were a few reasons I converted, personal life reasons. However, the EUCHARIST is a huge point I could hold on to.🌍

@@edgarespinosa7894 Physically and humanly impossible, but for God nothing is impossible, since Bible states on on Mt. 26, 26, and on every single mass thru the priest the transubstanciation is performed into real blood abd body of Jesus.
@@Nathanh56 Too much copy + paste and biased info in one single comment, she's happy being catholic let her be, or could you please provide me with a single Bible verse in which states that the catholic church is satanistic as you're blaspheming?
I was baptised as Christian Catholic, I went through different stages of my life, and I got lost in my ways but God is so amazing, as a Father and Mama Mary as my Mother, that after being in the darkness they pull me out, they helped me and brought me closer to Jesus. I am so delighted for you. Welcome, Sister in Christ. I am glad to hear that you found the truth. It is so beautiful how God Holy Trinity lead us to the truth and it is so beautiful to see that once we knock the door he will always open it. When we open our hearts to the truth. It is as the Word of God says: It will set us free. May God bless you and Mama Mary protects you. Do not be afraid to love Mary, remember her last words in the Bible were: 'Do whatever He tells you'. John 2:5, which means She will always lead us to Jesus Christ and She will teach us to obey and be the child of God that God wants us to be in all the possible ways, she gave example to this when Mary said, "Yes, I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to your word. Luke 1:38, She becomes the Mother of God, suffer while he was torture and rejoiced and stayed with his disciples until She was lifted up to join his Son. Mary is the daughter of God, The spouse of the Holy Spirit and the Mother of Jesus Christ. Huge hugs all the best.
Margareth Peña amen...beautiful and saintly experience!
Does holyspirit has spouse?
I’m so excited for you! I too am entering the Roman Catholic Church. I won’t be confirmed at Easter but will be confirmed in May due to my late arrival in RCIA. I was just like you in my thoughts of Mary. Coming from the Methodist church everything is different but having a relationship with Mary is really different lol. I have though grown closer and feel so much more comfortable. I really feel like she’s brought me closer to Jesus. Can’t wait for the next video! God bless.
Welcome Home!
David Brokke Thank you!
Welcome home!
May you grow and enlighten others as a Good Catholic...
btw with Mama mary .
what we do is what we calles VENERATION and not Worship :)
It is a little difficult, but it’s basically the relationship between a mother and son. I love Mary and have a relationship with her, but I could never love her more than Jesus does.
I never clicked on a video so fast! 😆 The conversation with my Protestant parent was the hardest for me, but knowing that I get to experience Jesus in the Eucharist almost every day makes every sad phone call/conversation with my mom so worth it! Again, I'm so happy for you, and am praying SO HARD for you! 💜💜💜
There's a book called Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist by Brant Pitre that goes into detail about how the Eucharist is the fulfillment of the bread of life foreshadowed all throughout the Old Testament. Maybe buy a copy for your mom as a gift to help her understand why you converted and what she's missing out on.
I came out of (still am in?) a CoC Christian tradition, but I am definitely heading toward Rome. The more I study and logically think through it all, the more Catholicism looks truest. I relate so much to you right now. Thanks for sharing! It’s very encouraging to me.
I recommend also watching Journey Home's episode with Bruce Sullivan and his book "Christ In His Fullness."
Amen on the Journey Home. Great show.
If you ever want to chat, I'd be more than willing to talk!
Been a year since I became a catholic (from protestant as well) and I consider it probably one of the best decision I've made.
The Catholic Religion is beautiful. Visually and Spiritually. No doubt, there will be ups and downs. Sometimes you might even wonder or question your Faith, but Oh My God, once you become immersed in Catholicism, the Truth will set you free :)
God Bless all of you :)

Your testimony is beautiful and mesmerizing! I can tell how sure you are in your decision to convert, and I am so proud of you, even though I don’t know you personally. You’re taking the greatest step you ever could, and I hope that you’re able to maintain your passion, because hard times will come your way. In all things, know that you have a community of brothers and sisters, both in general and here on RUclips(like myself) who are praying for you and will help you anyway you need, even if it’s just prayer. Praying for you sister!!
Absolutely beautiful. I was so torn between the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church not too long ago, but I chose to become catholic from the same reasoning you provided in the video. We can have many Christian churches that can claim “our church is based on the Bible”, not many churches can say “we are the church that the Bible was based off of”. That’s what I truly believe about the Catholic Church. It is the Church that the Bible was based off it. So in order to fully interpret the Bible correctly we have to read it in the context of the Church itself.
Attend a Latin Mass and I guarantee you won’t miss it anymore. ❤️
But what about damnation
Raziel Gutierrez Since the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus, we have a much greater protection against Satan than Protestants do. I’m the Catholic Mass, you will see more than ninety scripture references.

Can you explain why we worship Mary to the point when we pray we Hail Mary 50 times and god 5 times in the rosary or how Catholicism says that the only way to Jesus is through Mary but Mary is dead a human bieing , there is just so many more holes in Catholicism
@Patrick Montgomery ok bot you didn’t answer my question
@@RetRo0._.jebE06 "worship Mary" ? Do your research
@Patrick Montgomery I’ve seen so many of your comments. Can you type normally
@Patrick Montgomery no one in the Catholic Church says you *_need_* to go through mary? If they do that is anti Catholic and quite frankly heresy. When Christ gave Mary to John whilst in agonizing pain on the cross, He declared to John, "behold your mother". The Bible describes John as "the disciple Jesus Loved" So as the Bible ascribes these traits to John, like him, Catholics (all Christians really) try to follow in John's steps inviting Mary into our Hearts and homes. Mary implored her son's help at the wedding feast at Cana, wherein which He was RELUCTANT. Even still, as reluctant as He was, Christ was compelled to help His "earthly" Mother even though He was in fact her God. This is why we ask Mary to implore on our behalf to her son, that He may be compelled to help us even when HE may be reluctant.
if Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, then *_His_* compassion towards *_His_* "earthly" Mother is the same yesterday today and forever.
I was nervous too...my journey was 40 years long. But I really think you will love your RCIA classes. Honestly it made such a difference. The teachers are so loving and gentle and they give you time and understanding so that I don't feel pressured. I felt SO lead to do this and yet it's so huge that I get your nervousness...(except that I don't discuss it on a RUclips channel...as I'm an old gal) You're a brave and honest girl who had searched so earnestly and your videos are delightful. I am keeping you in my prayers. Hugs xxx
I have been searching to find a catholic you tuber because I am Catholic and really want someone to relate to and listen to their thoughts. I am really happy for you and your conversion. I am keeping you in my prayers. I hope that on this journey down the path of Catholicism you encounter God in ways you have never before and that you become the best version of yourself. There will be ups and downs, but never let you faith waver. The journey of conversion can feel like you are betraying your old faith, and there might be hate for that, but I hope you stay strong and let God take the wheel.
I'm praying for you. ❤️️

Padre Teodoro you are a liar and a hypocrite. You no longer consider usury a mortal sin and you are allowed to charge interest with church funds. The entire world hates today's so called Catholic Church which has a vatican bank. The Pope speak about greed but allows usury. You today have a cabbalistic Church, you can read the Occult Renaissance Church of Rome by Michael hoffman and Usury in Christendom:the mortal sin that was and now is not by the same author.
What are you talking about, I talk about usury and sodomy in the Catholic Church and their Cabbalistic front and what do you bring up for your defence, a single example that is even incomprehensible. Explain to me why the Vatican make interest on money that is prohibited by the Gospel? And please apologize for calling me a religious bigot when you refuse to answer my question regarding usury.
Once again, you have not apologized and you refuse to answer my question. In Luke it says lend freely expecting nothing in return meaning not to take interest on money. According to canon law of 1983, the Vatican has the obligation to take interest on church funds. In 1515, the Pope urged the Catholic confessors of not ''disturbing'' the ''Catholic and orthodox'' usurers. In 1745, Vix Pervenit by Benedict the XIV allowed usury to be practiced through loopholes such as through external titles on loans which allowed the continuation of usury and then in code of canon law of 1917 profit on a loan was permissible on a fungible good as long as it agreed with civil law.
Dont fool the kids to your religion , let them seek after Jesus Christ , because you will experience the second death.
Welcome to the Catholic Church. I converted from the Church of Christ over a decade ago. It was hard for my friends there to accept, and some even stopped speaking to me altogether. It was hard, but it was worth it. I had fought this conversion. I tried to disprove it...and now I'm married to a Catholic deacon who was once an athiest trying to disprove the teachings of the Catholic Church. The Church of Christ is such a beautiful community, sincerely trying to reach the Christianity of the early church. I love seen so many of my brothers and sisters there studying their way into the Catholic Church. I love seeing conversion stories like yours. God bless you and may you receive all the graces necessary for a wonderful First Communion, Confirmation....

Turn back for Heaven's sake! They teach penitence instead of repentance! They teach rosary praying which Jesus forbid. Matt 6.7 "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking." They teach traditions of men instead of commandments of God!
Bad Medicine Go somewhere else with your heresy, brother. A Catholic who tells you to just pray the rosary and nothing else is a shite Catholic. Christ himself told us to recite the Our Father and half of the Hail Mary comes from Bible passages. If it's a sin to recite what Christ told and passages from the Bible then I guess I'm going to Hell. It's not about recitation, it's about thinking doing so will bring an affect or a change in itself which is akin to magic. Personally, I used it to meditate on the mysteries of God. Think about this, if you have to confess your sins, like Catholics, you're going to think twice before commiting a sin. Also how would you explain the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches who don't typically practice the rosary or even the belief in the Pope but still have like every other things that Catholics do? Protestantism is just selfish Christianity that'd rather be more like the American libertarian system of government than a church of Christ. Protestants have no respect for history or tradition but respect feeling over truth.
I`m crying because my story is similar to yours. It's amazing how your life changes when you convert to catholisism and you really live catholisism. All I can tell you is that you will discover a lot of gorgeous things about Jesus and God, but the way will become harder, because you will became closer. Pray for protection every day, we need it the most, believe me. You will become target to the devil, you will feel sometimes that you lack faith, that you cant pray or connect with God like before. But after you pass through all that, you get a new gift. It never ends though, it will be your cross of everyday. Learn to love your cross.
I am in the process of converting to Catholicism and your videos have been so helpful to me. I just "came out" to my mother yesterday and told her I will be converting. So I get the having to hold back tears when thinking about those moments. Thank you for being so helpful to me in this journey! ❤
Welcome Home !!!
WOW! I can't even tell you just how inspiring and amazing this is for Me! I actually thought about coming back to the Catholic church BECAUSE of your other videos. This is tugging at my heart big to continue to seek the Catholic church even more now. I still question so many things like you once mentioned, like the Pope, etc. I can't wait to see more Catholicism videos from You! Many blessings, I wish I could give you a giant hug for posting this! ♡♡♡♡♡
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE MESSAGE IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR SOUL
Hello ,I want to tell you that the traditional Catholicism is the only right way and denomination because the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ who made St Peter the first pope and since that time all of the Peter's succesors were popes which guided the universal Church and I will provide you with absolutely UNDENIABLE AND IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE WHICH YOU MUST CHECK IN ORDER TO SAVE YOUR SOUL.However,the Vatican was infiltrated by Freemasons after the Second Vatican Council and that is why the Vatican is in a disastrous situation.This apostasy in the Church does not disprove Catholicism but on the contrary proves it because the traditional Catholic prophecies by MOST HOLY AND MIRACOLOUS SAINTS IN HISTORY WHICH CAN ONLY BE FOUND IN CATHOLICISM together with the prophecies of Our Lady of Fatima(which was the SECOND BIGGEST MIRACLE IN HISTORY AFTER THE RESSURECTION),our Lady of good success and Our Lady of La Salette warned about this massive apostasy and great crisis and this is precisely why we have someone so wicked and satanic like Antipope Francis.Thus to be saved one needs to embrace the traditional Catholic faith and reject the heresies of the Second Vatican Council and Antipope Francis who is an evil heretic.You can know that Catholicism is true because the Bible proves the teachings of the Catholic Church(I will leave the links to very important videos below).You can also know this because of the uninterrupted number of miracles throughout the whole history of the catholic church which scientists were not able to disprove and the most holy saints which had strong prophetic visions and prophecies of things which are fullfilled in these latter days.I RECOMMEND YOU TO CHECK THE WEBPAGE MHFM(VATICANCATHOLIC.COM) for critical soul saving information and contact them if you need any help or if you are in doubt.
NOW I WILL GIVE YOU IMPORTANT LINKS TO THE IRREFUTABLE BIBLICAL AND HISTORICAL EVIDENCE THAT PROVE CATHOLICISM.PLEASE CONSIDER AND CHECK THIS CRITICAL MATERIAL AND OVER TIME YOU WILL REALISE WHAT THE TRUTH IS AND HOW TO BE SAVED.PLEASE BE OPEN MINDED IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND CONSIDER THE MATERIAL WHICH I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH.

Marko Bagic, those who put their faith in Christ will be saved regardless of whether they are catholic or protestant or neither. A man on an island could pray and know Christ with a Bible or without. It is very simple. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. Love Him with all your heart, mind and soul and your neighbor as yourself.
Kennedy, if you ever want to talk... I'd be more than willing to answer any questions you have about the Catholic Church or give you resources that may help.
Kennedy!! You will be received back at home anytime! I will pray for you.
Woohoo! I am so excited for you Lizzie! I have been following you since you put out your video last year "10 Lies Protestants Believe about Catholicism" . I myself was a "Re-vert" back to the Catholic Church and went through the RCIA program just like you. I came into full communion and received my Sacraments last Easter 2017. Now I am helping teach RCIA for adults this year and preparing my students for their Sacraments, especially receiving Jesus' body, blood, soul, and divinity wholly in the Eucharist. :) I wish you the best on your journey, and encourage you to go back and give testimony to the the conversion of your mind, conversion of your heart, and conversion of your spirit. People who are in RCIA need to hear it. God bless you.
I grew up in the Church of Christ and now I am a Catholic priest! Welcome to the Church that was founded by Christ. Welcome home!
Some friends of mine, a married couple from the Church of Christ, are now joining the Catholic Church. The husband is returning as he was raised Catholic. We recently surprised each other and found out the same day the we're each joining the Catholic Church. So amazing and encouraging. I'm from the ICoC (Boston Movement). My RCIA instructor was also in the Church of Christ also. Were you a minister before converting?
I warn you, the Catholic Church is actually pagan. The Bible warned about it, they worship the Queen of Heaven, Diana Lucifera also called Diana, Ishtar, Innana or Mother Of God and not Mary and you should never worship Mary but God. A very clever name alteration. They teach you the commandments of men which are not in the Bible and false doctrines.
False doctrines of Catholicism:
1. Mother of God is Mediator.
2. Pope also called Father is the replacement of Jesus on earth.
3. The idea of repetition in prayer.
4. That statues are good to "venerate".
Doctrines of the Bible:
1 Timothy 2:5-6 "5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."
Matthew 23:9 "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
Matthew 6:7 “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”
Exodus 20:4 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"
Now these are in almost every Bible translation even in the Catholic Bible but they removed one of the Ten Commandments in their doctrines that forbid idols and graven images such as statues of "Mary".
dude, you are seriously deluded. you can interpret the scripture any way you want. If you are raised in the Protestant church you are trained to believe the Catholic church is a lie. Anyone who researches the Bible and the early church history will come to the conclusion that the Catholic Church is the true Church that Jesus established on earth. But I don't blame you, you have been raised in an environment to hate the Catholic Church. It takes real courage and God's grace to actually see the truth. God bless you.
Fr. Justin Freeman read the Bible and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Be taught by the Holy Spirit, not by man. I was raised Catholic. Catholicism completely perverts the word of God. Jesus is the only way. Catholics pray to saints and Mary. They ask for intercession. This is necromancy which is forbidden by God. Mary was just a woman who was blessed by God. She was not sinless. Calling her sinless is blasphemy. So is calling the priest father, and the pope holy father. Another title of the pope is vicar of Christ which literally means replacement of Christ. Catholics believe in purgatory which their is no such thing. According to the Bible forbidding people to marry like in the Catholic Church is considered doctrines of demons. There is a reason the fruit of the Catholic Church is evil. More people have died, especially christians who did not bow to the pope, from the Catholic Church than any other organization on earth in history. The pope makes up new rules which is blasphemy. Why does the Vatican have an obelisk? Look at the giant serpent design in Vatican hall and the demonic looking Jesus behind the pope in Vatican hall. The Vatican is littered with occult symbolism. I've studied the occult for years. However, it is hard to point out occult symbolism to people unaware. Look at the popes mitre or hat. It comes from Dagon or nimrod the fish goddess of Babylon. Believe priest are required as mediators to forgive sins is blasphemy. Read the book of Acts. There is a reason you don't see the Holy Spirit manifest in the Catholic Church and in its followers. If you are not willing to follow Jesus first before any man or religion, then you not Christian and will have your part in the lake of fire. Read the Bible and pray in secret so the mysteries of the kingdom of God are revealed to you. Unless a man be born again, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. A friend of the world is an enemy of God. Whoever loves the world or the things of the world does not have the love of the father in him. Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive, knock and it will be opened. Here are some true ministries from the Lord I pray will bless you: cardboard box Church, the last reformation, torch of Christ ministries, and the ghetto gospel team. These are all on RUclips. God bless
@@Nathanh56 bro without your mom you will not be born on this earth, be thankful just as Jesus.
Why in Heaven God is His ultimate power still used A woman to conceive His begotten son If He himself can make Him that like making the first man Adam.???
Because trough Mary you have Jesus. Praise her because she is a lowly and humble servant who accepted God's will without question.
If you don't want the Catholic teachings then go forth yourself, spread your faith and good deeds to others.
Do not be anxious on the Catholic faith, if it will not inline with your beliefs, because it's you who can save yourself and God's divinity for your salvation..
Spread love bro, Do not hate catholics, we didn't hate any protestants we are willing even to accept them back.
God bless 😇
God bless.
I never relized how privileged I was to not have to search for the true church but just stay in it. I think you are more worty of being called catholic than me, because you are cathoilc now for conviction, i was catholic for tradition. Makes me apreciate more my church.
These are the EXACT reasons why I went for Catholicism!! Rock hard reason and logic right there!!
george zaggogiannis
Here's my response to that "rock hard reason and logic"...
There's this thing called symbolism. Jesus used it a lot. He spoke on lots of parables.
Jesus also called Himself "the door," "the vine," "living water," and the "Good Shepherd."
If Peter being given "the keys to the kingdom" made him the pope, how come none of the disciples could agree on who was in charge? How come Jesus didn't tell the other disciples to obey Peter? Isn't the Pope supposed to be infallible? Didn't Jesus call Peter "Satan?" Didn't Peter proceed to deny Jesus 3 times? How come Peter cut off the servant's ear in the garden when Jesus was being arrested if he knew that Jesus' plan was not to fight? "Pontifex Maximus" is the title of a pagan priest. The first time that it was used in reference to the Pope, the person who wrote it was making fun of the Pope for claiming more authority than he had. What happened to us all being priests? What happened to Jesus being the ONE mediator between God and man?
The only place in the Bible where it talks about a "queen of heaven" is in reference to a pagan deity. Jesus said that His mother and brothers were those who obey Him.
You have been led astray.
Kate you're fighting the losing battle. When the pope makes outrageous non-biblical, sometimes anti-biblical statements, and people aren't kicking the door down demanding he step down, you know we're living in the end times.
Eagle's Wings The end times are good. We are going to win. Jesus wins in history.
Kate=Best commenter. Who are you?
Christian Uploads Just a young woman who loves Jesus. I used to have some RUclips videos up, but than my dad banned me.
Our stories are similar: I left Protestantism about the same time as you did and for the same reasons, but especially because of the Real Presence in the Eucharist. I was a Methodist pastor for sixteen long years, the son of a Methodist pastor and brother of a Baptist pastor. But I too found that Catholicism was closer to Scriptural Christianity.
Welcome Home, brother. God bless you. I am the daughter in law of a Lutheran Pastor and converted to Catholicism just last year. Your situation must have taken much courage. I am so happy to be Catholic. Happy to read about your entry into the Church!
Thank you so very much for your words of welcome, although I am not yet fully entered into the Catholic Church. I sent my application to the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, and so I am still waiting for word from the Holy See. In a sense, I am still between the Rubicon and the Tiber, waiting to be allowed across.
Welcome home bro... Prayers for you 😍
Hope Jordan Guerrero I have been taught to have respect for people of all religions, but I personally feel that Catholics have to many beliefs that just don't work for me! There is no scriptural references to NUNS. They BELIEVE they will marry Jesus CHRIST, well thats polygamy! So all of this is just confusing to me! And NUNS lay in coffins for 9 hour's straight then they can be a nun, then the priest gives you a new NAME and your not allowed to use your birth name! You give up your family, and you don't ever talk with them! The first commandment in the BIBLE given to mankind, is to multiply and REPLENISH the EARTH, well there not allowed to keep that commandment, according to there rules!
Hope Jordan Guerrero oh my you are basically saying you left the truth for a lie and that is sad.
Dear Lizzy, I'm so glad to watch your video, I think you're gonna be an example for many others. Welcome home, there's a party in heaven.
Padre Sam There's a party in heaven celebrating her deciding to not believe in Salvation through faith alone in Christ alone but through a combination of her works Jesus' works and the "Saints" works as well as grace? Umm... No. If you have to work for it, it's not grace.
Kate the Great The one place the Bible has "faith" and "alone" in the same sentence is James 2:17 "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." Don't get me wrong, catholics are lost in their own unbiblical traditions of men.
Bad Medicine it's just faster than saying "salvation by faith, not by works". Also, the word for faith in James is different from the kind of faith that I am talking about.
Kate the Great,
"salvation by faith, not by works" is *not* in the Bible either. We are *justified* by faith, but saved *through* faith. And it's not "by works" but *"of* works." These are subtle yet significant differences.
Eph 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved *through* faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not *of* works, lest any man should boast."
Nor does the Bible teach that salvation is through "faith alone" no matter how you phrase it. The Bible teaches justification and sanctification, grace and truth (Col 1:6), faith and verity (1Tim 2:7), repentance from dead works (Heb 6:1) and obedience (Heb 5:9).
John 3:21 But he that *doeth truth* cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
*"the word for faith in James is different"* The only difference between pistis faith and pisteōs faith is the case. Same word, Strong's 4102. However, there is a difference in the two words for believe in John 3:36. biblehub.com/interlinear/john/3-36.htm
What's your point. We are saved by Jesus through faith in Jesus alone. If you say otherwise, you are preaching heresy.
Thank you so much for posting this video. My family is LDS and it has been very very hard for me to accept that Catholicism is the truth and they have pushed back really hard and are really hurt and this was the strength that I needed and the answers to my prayers
My family is LDS but I got Baptized Catholic and never looked back, Peace be with you.
Lizzy you haven't betrayal anyone, you were guided by the holy spirit to become catholic, welcome home, I love you more now that you are catholic. 💖
Hey Lizzie! I recently stumbled across your channel and have now subscribed. I am Kid Catholic I am a 12 year old catholic RUclipsr who posts a new video every Tuesday, teaching about Catholic truths. I am so happy you have converted! Obviously you are a much more popular RUclipsr then I so if you happen to have time in one of your videos a shoutout would be incredible! Obviously you don’t need to but if you could it would be great! Welcome to The Catholic Church!
Kid Catholic KC I see you, lol. I love your channel. Lizzy will too
just subbed to ya. Stay strong, young brother. God bless and keep you and yours
Kid........Bravo !!! Did you know that Jesus was your age when He said , " I must be about my Father's business?" See Luke 2: 49.
Kid Catholic I'm also Catholic and twelve
You're going to see how Rome treats people who presume to speak for them. I pray you repent and trust Jesus for salvation.
I grew up Church of Christ, went to a Church of Christ college, did foreign work under the same and converted to Catholicism last year. This video captured perfectly my own journey as well. Being open to being wrong is sometimes a catalyst for positive change! Thank you and welcome home.
Ahhhhh!!! I just stumbled upon one of your videos and I was shook!!!! I had no idea that you converted. Lizzie, I remember watching your videos years back and thinking you’d love Catholicism!!!! I’m so glad you’ve joined us ^_^
Lizzie I'm writting a few books at the library and almost start to cry.... I'm gonna record a video to my Spanish and Portuguese audience... All my lent and Holy Week will be offered up for you. Welcome my little sister...
Christian Huerta acabo de ver el video de Lizzie wow!! Pero ¿¿sabes que me impresiono mas Christian?? Checa los comentarios, hay varios que dicen que estan en proceso de conversión gracias a su video... Dios bendito... saludos y espero tu video hermano.
Muy bien video que hiciste respect a este video, tocayo. Lo vi anoche y por eso me desperté inmediatamente a ver este video. Dios te bendiga, Sr. Huerta!
Christian Huerta por favor hno. quiero ver el video en español estoy desesperada por saber que dice
Congratulations Lizzie! I’m proud of you for taking the risk and coming out!
Yay!! Welcome home! I've been following you for a while, love your videos. I was watching That Catholic Couple this morning and saw the news, congrats!
I just celebrated my 2 years back into the church on 2/10, which was Ash Wednesday back in 2016. I was baptised in the Catholic church as a baby and then my family never really followed up with church. I felt the pull as a teenager but never had any guidance. So finally, after a grueling journey of life without God, and much soul searching and studying, I came back 2 years ago at 37, and brought my family with me. every time i go to church i feel right at home. I love my church family. I love my Catholic faith and love encountering Jesus with communion and the liturgy every weekend and also in every day.
I wish you all the best, God bless!
Welcome home. As a catholic musician your testimony touched me and inspired me to keep going. Thanks you God bless you.
Amen sister. Welcome home. I personally did not believe in God 2 years ago but God show his love and presence and I naturally became Catholic because this Is the Church of God

Dont fall for that satanic occult stuff to i see you have on your channel it will lead to nothing but demonic attacks and destruction.
nathan henry I really wish non-Catholics didn’t see us Catholics in a hatful and disdainful way because we as Christians are not suppose to act that way to one another, while pretty much every non-Catholic group criminalizes us and that’s hypocrisy. I have a few answers to some things you’ve said but I will admit that I do not have every answer to everything as I’m assuming you don’t have every answer to everything because I’m just a regular 18 year old Cradle-Catholic that sometimes does have struggles with her faith, sins, and has character flaws, as well as every other human being on this Earth. I’m not saying that us as Catholics are “The True People,” we are just all sinners that are going to the one, true, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church.
So to clear things up, we do not pray to saints like we pray to God. We ask Saints in heaven to pray for us as intercessors just like how you would ask a friend to pray for you if you were going through a rough time, or a family member of yours is sick. Another thing is that Mary was claimed to be sinless. I mean look at her ascension into heaven, she went straight to heaven and only her and Jesus have done that(correct me if I’m wrong). This leads into the purgatory statement you’ve made and how there’s “no such thing.” First of all, and I mean this in a non-diminishing way, but how would you know? You’re not dead, and really how can any of us be certain as Christians about anything pertaining to the afterlife? It’s by faith we know and believe this. But to get back on track purgatory is a place our souls go after death to be cleansed of our sins before we go to heaven because there is no sin in paradise, so when Mary ascended into heaven, she had no sin and skipped purgatory(in layman’s terms, she got a fast-pass into paradise). So the next thing is the Pope. The Pope goes all the way back to Peter and his foundation and leadership of the Catholic Church. Jesus TOLD Peter to be the rock and the foundation of the new Church and to pretty much lead everyone to salvation(to be “fishers on men,” if you will). This position has been passed down to each Pope from Peter on till now and it is more than just one mans position. The Popes have converted and helped others throughout the ages which gives those people they’ve helped salvation. The Popes are only being disciples of Christ as Jesus has called all of us as Catholics to be.
The next statement that I’ll comment on is that you said we forbid people to marry. I’m not entirely sure what you mean there but if you are talking about the Nuns and Priests then yes as do not condone marriage amongst those groups because they’re married to the Church and God. Becoming a Nun or Priest is their vocation(if you don’t know what that means look it up please) while some people’s vocation may be to marry and have children or to just live a single life.
“There is a reason the fruit of the Catholic Church is evil.” This comment you made both stung a little bit and was confusing not gonna lie. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is good and pure and true and love and that is the exact opposite of evil? God gave us the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Fruits of the Catholic Church, so how can they be evil if God gave them to us and he is the true form of love and goodness.
So the next thing is that you said that more people have died in the Catholic Church than pretty much anybody else. Well for one we have martyrs, which are people who die for their faith, and it is horrible but there are people that are still being persecuted TO THIS DAY for their faith, but I also think that it is a very brave and the most faithful way someone could leave this world and go into the next. It’s horrible that has happened to them but they obviously have a spot reserved in heaven. Another reason why we have so many people die in our faith is because we are older than any other Christian sect. Protestants stemmed off of us and some Protestants don’t even have every piece of the puzzle to match us. Some are missing specific books out of their Bible, some do not believe in certain sacraments and there is a list of a lot more things that we do and don’t have in common. Oh, and the Crusades were also a thing. There was a lot that happened but look it up from a Catholic historian perspective because history is both white-washed and Protestant biased. Post-Martin Luther’s division of the Catholic Church, the Protestants beat the Catholics to the printing press so many things in history are falsely portraying Catholics as evil because they’re Protestant biased. I’m not saying that there weren’t people in the Catholic Church that were bad, if anything we own up to any bad actions, but that’s from a person or a group of people. Their actions is not the Church itself, the Church itself is perfect. People inside are sinful. Hence why we’re going to Church.
Also, you say that we’re an occult because of certain symbolisms in Churches. This goes back to a historical aspect of our Church. Not everyone could read and write in the early Church to roughly the late 1800s so Churches had paintings and stain glass windows to tell the stories of the Bible because most people could obviously not read the Bible unless you were from a rich family or were a monk or priest or something like that. So some stories depict some evil symbols such as the serpent because it’s a historical tradition that the Catholic Churches still have to tell the stories from the Bible.
Soooo onto Confession. There is honestly a lot I can say about Confession but I’ll shorten it for now. It is a time where we go in to talk to a Priest about our sins and finally letting them go and be given up to God for his forgiveness.
The last thing I’ll comment on from what you said is that you shouldn’t say that we, or anybody for that matter will be condemned to hell. First off it’s rude, second you won’t have people listen to you if you just tell them that they’re all sinners and are going to hell, thirdly I’m sure it’s some type of sin to scream hate at someone, sooo hypocrisy? Don’t tell people that ever because you’re not God and you don’t know. You don’t know anything about anyone else and what they could have going on in their life and I’m sure the last thing anyone needs is to be told that they’re going to hell. We just have to try to spread love and fellowship through our actions of helping each other out through this rollercoaster of life.
Like I stated at the beginning, I don’t know everything about my faith and that doesn’t make me any less Catholic or any less a child of God it just makes me human. So my advice is go talk to a priest with a lot of questions and with an open mind about Catholicism if you want the truth.

Paganism is of the devil
@@Paradoxi0019 Not a bad response for an 18 year old. Do read a lot of Apologetics books or just articles and videos online?
Hi Lizzie. I also grew up in the Church of Christ denomination, and converted to Catholicism in 2012, and was received into full communion in 2013. You are in my prayers!
Hey lizzy I did the same thing last year. I was the assistant pastor in a baptist church. I wasn't content with the answers that I was given concerning the assembly of saints, so I started studying. I didn't want to have to leave all my friends behind and felt as if I was betraying everyone I loved in the baptist church. I actually lost a future wife. But all of the lost is nothing compared to Christ. Jesus finally revealed himself through the Eucharist and I burst out in tears knowing that it was Jesus. I then desided that the following day when I go to church I will speak with the pastor to tell him I won't be serving any more and will be leaving. This Easter I'm now going to join full communion with the Catholic Church. Oh, I'm also planning on becoming a Franciscan priest and friar. My journey should start this year. I would love you to add me on Facebook where we could share our stories better. May God bless you now and for ever.
JPsavedbyGRACE
Wow, my prayers be with you. May God be with you always in your journey to priesthood.
Charbel LBN thank you, may God bless you always by the sacred hearts of Jesus and Mary
JPsavedbyGRACE GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Lezith456 may almighty God bless you now and forever.
I remember watching one of your videos before I saw this one and making a quick prayer to Mary saying "She's so close, please bring her home!" I almost cried when I saw the title of this video!
The Blessed Virgin is truly our greatest intercessor second to Christ. Please remember to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy this May 25th.
Our Lady of Garabandal pray for us during the Great Warning.
No hate but this is what I don’t understand about Catholicism. You said you made a prayer to the blessed Mary saying “she’s so close, please bring her home”…. Isn’t it God who would bring someone home? In my eyes, you’re saying mother Mary is a god, who caused this last to be Catholic. I simply do not understand
@@daniellemcalpine-hawkins4537 With all due respect, Danielle...This comment was from over 2 years ago
I am so happy to see this video! I wanted to become a Baptist church pastor before converting to Catholicism. I know that it can be hard to give up on your prior aspirations, but it's worth it. Good for you, and welcome home. :)
I turned catholic to recently because of Christian history as well. You are SO smart for your age I can't believe how much you know. I love your videos God bless you
The bible and the present are what matters, not church history which shows how Catholicism was full of corruption.
You make me cry again :') And I still think as catholic we don't deserve you in this crazy and messy catholic family :'D Love you so much in Christ. Blessings from Spain.
you are right but that is why we so desperately need people like her!
Indeed! To be fair there are also tons of saint people actually walking on the streets and also on the net ;)
William Palmero Jiménez I cried too. Happy tears 🙏🏼
William Palmero Jiménez, You are right but is just the same as the Disciples, the Apostles...that had funny characters of which some ended up betraying Christ...Catholic Church is the best target for the Satan...Mt. 24.11-13
Magok Lou. As a catholic, I totally agree on your statement.
All Glory to the Lord in heaven! Welcome home sister in Christ! ❤
I too struggled converting. I was raised Baptist and was always told Catholics were not Christians I did convert at age 22 and I love it.
That's scandalous. Catholic means universal church in Latin, everything else is a disgruntled ex with baggage.
@Diablo321 show evidence of your claim. Be specific
@Andino conquistador wouldn’t Catholics be anti-indigenous to since the Spanish killed them in Latin America?
@Andino conquistador I’m not a Protestant though and I’m a mexican mestizo so I guess you were just implying that I’m not since I don’t use my real name as my YT account.
@Andino conquistador also the reason why the us has less natives than countries in Latin America is because the Spanish had babies with indigenous people and created mestizos continuing the native blood while the Americans tried to kill them all to make more room for their land and try to civilize it as they like to say since they didn’t like the natives.
As a “Cradle Catholic” I want to let you know that this video has moved me to tears. You conviction, and passion towards Catholicism, has me saying to myself “praise God, someone sees what my heart feels. And some someone can put to words what my heart beats for” I’ll be praying for you and your journey.
I'm almost in tears too. Lizzie, you and countless others don't have Christ.
I applaud your courage Lizzie, a lot of those who become Catholic come into the church kicking and screaming (watch Tim Staples' conversion, or Scott Hahn) but to ask them now what they think and they will tell you they have gained much more than they lost. Its not always easy to follow our Lord and He tells us as much; which is why we're asked to take up our cross. Where is a person going when they are carrying a cross?.... to a crucifixion. We're give up *our* lives in order to gain the life that He wants to give us. Im proud of you and you will be in my prayers.
This is such a joy to hear! I was brought up and raised in the Catholic Church my whole life. I walked away for a number of years just being selfish and disobedient by doing my own thing. I visited several Protestant churches during that time but no one was able to answer my questions about authority. Long story short, I came back to the church of my childhood, the Roman Catholic Church last year February myself. Just hearing someone share that they did their own research rather than taking what they’ve been told their whole life as truth, brings a smile to my face. Welcome home, my sister🙂😇✝️
Never anticipated and hoped for a video this much
Helpful prayer tip: "...for all the people for whom I'm obligated to pray, and all those for whom I've promised to pray..." It was a survival method for me -- I have a HUGE family and lots of people to pray for. I'd be hours just naming them.
KA Fleury thank you!! Thats a great tip!
This is awesome. One of your videos played a part in opening my heart to the Catholic Church. I was so prejudice, not even certain they were part of my spiritual family. I was in a hopeless place last year and found hope in the Catholic Church. I'm now in RCIA and will be Confirmed at the Easter Vigil. Thank you for sharing your life. Have you read Christ In His Fullness by Bruce Sullivan? He is a CoC minister who converted. That book helped me, along with reading the early church fathers, and also looking at the history of the church. God bless!
Wow! thanks for sharing your testimony.As they say the truth will set you free.Pretty soon you will also be able to Taste the Lord and See that He is Good literally!
I've been excited to share... Maybe too much? It's been a long journey, and it will continue to be so I've heard.
Wow Lizzie, this sounds so much like me right now. I don't want to be Catholic!! But it's as if I can't stop. I can't stop researching. Every protestant foundation is crumbling and I can't stop it. I remember watching your video on what you loved and hated about Catholicism when I first started searching. I wondered if you would eventually come home and you have!! May God bless You! Did you receive a lot of negative feedback from family or church friends?
I will keep you in my prayers. I am a cradle Catholic, who have attended several denominations , who came to the firm conclusion that the Catholic Church is the one Jesus founded. They canonized the Bible. Enough said!
What you resist persists. ;-) but ironically I'm watching this cause I've been feeling the call of conversion myself.
God bless you. Please consider attending the Traditional Latin Mass and visiting the blog MaryRefugeofHolyLove as you undertake your journey. My prayers are with you. May Our Lady and Archangel Michael and the Principalities guide you.
YAAAAY! Welcome home! Omg I'm so excited to have you in my family. ❤ This is such a blessing and this Lent just got 10000% better!
Like I said on your last video you influence me to become Catholic. My journey began last lent as while. I group Seventh-day Adventist which is extremely anti-Catholic. To say my feels betrayed is understatement. My journey also begin around 15 when I left the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Keep up the research that’s what helps me it seems to help you too!
AWESOME JESTON, LOVE YOU!
Lizzie, welcome home!! So thrilled for you and will continue to pray for you through the Lenten season. I am sponsoring one of my Protestant friends who is also coming into the Church at the Easter Vigil, just as I did four years ago. Like you, I was drawn by the Eucharist and the teaching of Scripture, particularly John 6 and the early Church's understanding of the Eucharist. As St. Peter answered Jesus when He asked if Peter would leave too (like many of his disciples who left due to their understanding of the bread of life discourse), “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." Once one's eyes are open to the understanding of Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist, we have no choice. So amazing to see how many Protestants are entering full communion with the apostolic Church. Such a gift we have. Blessings to you!
welcome home. I was baptized Catholic. Received my first communion and Confirmed when I was 23.
The same thing happened to me, sort of. My family is from Thailand, oddly enough, and I was raised Buddhist but at some point I realized I was Christian. I just didn't know which denomination. But like you I live in America and I got a lot of Protestant influence. I was actually really anti-Catholic starting out, but the more I researched the more I realized that it is the one true faith. I went through RCIA snd I got baptized this year.
Brother please forward this site to other buddhists too - tamingthetiger.com Peace of Christ always with you🙏🏼
Woww
Welcome home! Such a lovely story ❤❤❤
Please consider attending the Latin Mass and visiting the blog MaryRefugeofHolyLove if you haven't already
God bless you and peace to you and your family, present and future
As someone who prepares for priesthood is uplifting to hear these testimonies, young persons that seek for the truth and find it here in the Catholic Church!! God bleds you and I will be praying for you... Also I shared your story with the other seminarians and they loved it!
Beautiful testimony of why you are becoming Catholic, thank you for sharing and explaining the reasons why in greater detail. I think so many people have the experience of being led into the Catholic Church against their own personal desires and will, until they finally surrender to the will of God. BTW, your eye makeup looks really pretty!
I am an Italian catholic! So glad you decided to convert!
I have been praying for my conversion to be either Orthodox and Catholic and I recently chose Catholicism as well! I have enjoyed learning about your journey too. I am rooting for you! We are all rooting for you! God bless you!
good choice, look into FSSP for good parish liturgy
Welcome Home!
I'll have to do research on that!
Thank you!
I wish I became Catholic earlier, iv been Protestant for 33 years, and just made my first appointment to meet with the Catholic Church to discuss converting. Long overdue. Peace.
Jeremiah Jones I will keep you in my prayers, brother. And I look forward to the day you enter fully into the Catholic Church.
Jeremiah Jones
I will keep you in my prayers as well, brother in Christ!🙏🏼
May God bless you and help you on this journey home!
Per T Absolutely! Thank you! I hope that you have some good, practicing Catholics near you, and a nice Catholic Church that you can contact.
I must warn you, the vaticancatholic.com channel that you follow on RUclips is anti-Catholic. PLEASE do not listen to their falsities and lies. God bless you.
floydfan82
Thank you for letting me know! God bless you too! Definetly didn’t know that they taught fallacies on the Church. What kind of things do they say?? Thank you for warning me🙏🏼
I am from Brazil, I was a Protestant and I converted (returned) to Catholicism for a year ... I cried with his testimony. God bless you a lot. Hail Mary Immaculate, Long live Christ the King.
Juarez Abrahão Mendes mine is the same case
Without Mary, Jesus would not have been born, she is the woman who stepped on the serpent's head, the woman surrounded by the sun! Hail Mary, the Immaculate Mother of our Lord, full of grace, blessed, Mother of God
Bejdza Jesus is the Mediator of humanity(way of Salvation, Immaculate Lamb, the Perfect Sacrifice) and just he... But intercession all the persons are intercessors... Example: How many times do you asked for a pray to some person? What is this? Intercession...
Why God like this? Jesus could all alone? YES, of Course but he like use the persons that are part of your body like used Peter, and another apostles to heal etc...
Jesus too they could became/incarnate Man without was born of a Woman? Yes. he could born like Adam of the ground? Yes but he liked use Mary like your mother... And she was gracefull by God, and in the Bible say "very generations call me blessed" , in Saint Luke 1:41-43
41.And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the HOLY GHOST:
42.And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43. And whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?
Or Revelation 12, Virgin Mary is described clothed with Sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars, Why is Mary Mother of Jesus and not other common evangelical definitions like just Israel or the Church?
Because if you read the rest of Chapter, you know that woman is Mother of the Who was to rule all nations of a rod of iron(Jesus), and in Rv 12:17, is mentioned that the dragon/devil not achieving destroit the Woman neither the her Children, the dragon make war to remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ...
And in this sentence the Bible called all Christians sons of Mary, or remmanecents of her seed...
You are going to Hell buddy. You can convert to whatever but Jesus said you must be born again. That baptism is not of the flesh but a change of heart and mind towards God to follow the teachings of Jesus. You have done neither since you were born on this earth.. Neither does the Bible command you to hail and glorify Mary. She will stand there on that day and condemn you to hell with tears if you don't repent man.
Reginald Cooper
Another lost, "know it all" Protestant. You are so blinded by your pride that you fail to see that you are closer to hell than the brother you are criticizing.
He has found salvation. You think you have, but you walk in darkess, dear brother. Prayers for your conversion. God bless.
Welcome home Lizzie! Christ gave us the priesthood before he died so there were priests from the start. :)
Oh my gosh. You are so cute!! I'm so happy for you. God delights in you and your joy.❤
I’ve subscribed after seeing this honest, genuine video ♥️ I cannot wait to watch the second part about your story 🌱 I promise to stay tuned 😊
Lizzie I can see you as an apologist! You should consider this path!! Your really good in explaining the faith and explaining religion and the reason why Christianity is right. God bless.
I grew up in the church of christ. I'm in college now. Live on my own. I'm becoming roman catholic.
Dylan.........Welcome home !!
God bless you I'm so glad!!! I'm a roman catholic too. 🙏🏻❣❣❣
I grew up C of C and went to Pepperdine. I am now a Catholic.
Welcome 🤗
Don’t do it
Welcome home sister, I've always been Catholic! And whole family is protestant! My parents my sister and I are Catholic and they're always telling us that we're a wrong church, but what I see is that all my family are in differente churches such as pentecostals, apostles and prophets, church of Christ, the light of the world, etc. But I see that those churches have different doctrines, while the biblie says that there's only one church, one doctrine and one Gospel. Also we have to see the history of the church and the Catholic church is the only church that have existed since Jesus Christ founded in the year 33 in Israel, Matthew 16:18. Romans 16:17 says that there will be doctrines that would welcome you with hugs, they will talk to you with happiness, they would talk about Jesus, but they are deceiving their own spirit! So, Catholic church is the only Christian church, and nothing and nobody will destroy it!
It's the only corrupt church. The bible says, thou shall not make thyself any graven images, yet some of you bow down to these sculptures.
@@Heavenly.Ministries oh really, what is an image for you? Cuz you say that we adore images, and most of the protestant believe that we are idolaters, just because we bow down to these sculptures??? Why are there so many ignorant people like you'll! You know that everything around us are images, right! If you don't trust, you can search for it in the dictionary! So, your own logic makes you ignorant, you are an image, animals are images, things are images, sculptures are images, etc, etc. If you bow down in front of your bed, ARE YOU ADORING YOU BED?????? Don't confuse image with pictures, or SCULPTURES, the bible prohibits IDOLS or fake gods that think that those have power, I have never seen a Catholic who says that an image is God! Images just represent the person who lived in the past, and it's just to remind us. Just protestans think that images are gods!
@@Heavenly.Ministries these sculptures and pictures are of the friends of God, those holy men and women who have faithfully followed Christ and inspire us with their holy lives. They are our family members, we DO NOT THINK THEY ARE GOD and WE DO NOT WORSHIP them! Please make sure you know what Catholics actually believe before making assumptions.
Unfortunately the RCC is also a "protestant church". It too broke away from the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC & APOSTOLIC CHURCH in 1054. You didn't know that did ya? The Holy Orthodox Church ALONE preserved the original Faith of Jesus Christ without the papal addons which came mostly during the last 700 years. Go & study church history.
@@nuns8126 if you are referring to Orthodoxy, Orthodoxy and Catholicism are very close in dogma and practice, we both believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist for example, the center of the Liturgy for both, sacred scripture and Apostolic succession. They were both part of the Great Church, the two lungs of the Church, East and West, of the first 1,000 years of Christianity. However, Orthodoxy is not unified which is what Christ prayed for "that they all be One". In my area there are Orthodox Churches which are Greek, Russian, Romanian, Ukrainian, Serbian and Ethiopian. I have Orthodox friends and none of them ever attend liturgies in other Orthodox communities and some they consider illegitimate and don't accept they are Orthodox. The Orthodox churches have become strongly linked to certain nations, languages and cultures. For a Catholic we can attend 50+ Catholic churches in our area alone and Catholic churches in every country of the world and we all belong to one community and one Church. We love our Orthodox sisters and brothers and hope that God in his grace can reunite us all again.
Congratulations on your tough decision! As a former protestant who became Catholic two years ago, I frequently come across objections from friends family and coworkers. I would recommend if you haven’t already, to look into Tim Staples, Steve Ray, and Scott Hahn’s videos and books, especially Steve Ray. They happen to all be protestant converts to Catholicism who had to wrestle with issues intellectually before they could take the plunge. Another thing that has helped me as far as learning about the faith and how to argue objections to it would be the program Catholic Answers, Which has tons of videos that you can watch on RUclips.
Jacob Pansing May I also add, Al Kresta, Jimmy Akin, and Marcus Grodi; they took issue to becoming Catholic as well.
Congratulations, Lizzie! I began RCIA in September and I will be confirmed at Easter Vigil, too. May God be with you, Lizzie!
Isn't it amazing that we get to receive Jesus??!!! I love being Catholic!!! God bless!
June Weimar anyone can receive Jesus, Catholic or not
John Betts Yes but we get to EAT Him when we receive the Eucharist and it is not CANNIBALISTIC!
Yes it is
catholics are such fools, it's not what you put into your mouth but what comes out of your HEART that is important. TRUE CHRISTIANS HAVE JESUS CHRIST IN THEIR HEARTS, NOT JUST SOME PIECE OF BREAD!!
Lin Yen Chin, some piece of bread?? you don t know anything of transubstantiation during the Eucharist then. That s an act that Jesus did during the last dinner and we are replicating during the mass.
I was raised a Protestant until I was 20 and enjoyed reading the Bible. I fell into Athiesm and my life went into chaos. I hope to be joining the Catholic Church as well very soon. Christ is calling me there.
Welcome Home !!!
