1 year after watching this, I myself am a former Protestant (Baptist) pastor who converted to Catholicism, whole family in tow. Shane was a great help to me when I reached out to him last year about my discernment process. God bless you Shane and God bless you Matt for your ministries.
I’m a recent convert as well. Raised and Baptized nondenominational. My father was one of the pastors and my mothers side was Catholic. We were always told that they were not Christians but I am so happy and excited to have found the truth in the Catholic Church!!
So am I and I am so saddened but not surprised, of how you possibly grew up, to justify yourself even if you didn't but the elders did, by all the lies that protestants knowingly or unknowingly, spread to confirm you in your belief. I am Catholic and I love our origins, the history I mean, and so could never really reneg the faith based on the origins too. I love even the story of St. Paul's conversion, and when you read his letters, you know what he went through to not only go from being a rabid anti-christian Jew, to a defender of the faith. He's like my modern day hero. And, then I recall having visited the Cathedral built in his honour outside the walls of Rome. Too much history to become anything else! Amen
What is a so called non denominational other than a so called denomination! You were lied to because ONLY Catholic’s loyal to the infallible Magisterium are true Christian’s. Protestant’s belong to 40,000+ man made CULTS which are Pagan and anti Christ. The Bible is a Catholic book the protestant Bible is an incomplete and corrupted Catholic book for proof watch Steve Ray’s excellent testimony! Also watch Don’t call protestant’s Christian! The Papacy can NOT be destroyed. Following padre Pio. In the footsteps of padre Pio. The warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. And the latest excellent video from Queen of Peace media. Also protestantism is an abomination in the sight of God because protestant’s put their own false interpretation on sacred scripture which is blasphemous and they pick and choose what to believe and what to reject which is of Satan. There’s NO salvation outside the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by God himself two thousand year’s ago because it’s the ONLY CHURCH THERE IS. There’s ONLY ONE baptism because there’s ONLY ONE CHURCH. Protestant so called churches DON’T EXIST! And as St. Louis de Montfort rightly said there’s NO salvation without devotion to Mary please read True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis de Montfort. I confront protestant’s and fundamentalists by saying if you truly love Jesus then imitate him by loving his beautiful and Immaculate mum Mary who was give to us from Jesus when he was on the Cross to be our spiritual mum! God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
I am a protestant convert and did the Monfort Marian Concecretion during the origional Covid shut down. Best time spent EVER! It has been quite a journey for me that continues to this day and beyond! Thank you Jesus! 🙏❤
Welcome home …. and may Jesus and his Immaculate Mother accompany and bless you on this journey toward Heaven - from a cradle Catholic who is falling in love with our beautiful faith every day
The hunger of a Catholic convert for our faith is unbelievably refreshing & I enjoyed this video immensely. My oldest child has recently come back to the church like a bullet after 20 years and my heart is full.
@@julieelizabeth4856 i was that wayward 20 something. My mom never stopped praying for me and I feel back from the dead. Lost and found, my life is not the same 🙏🏼 ask for our Lady's intercession and never lose hope 💛
It's heartening to know that I'm not the only mother going through the anguish of seeing my child, turning from an innocent very devout child to someone who feels irritated when I pray in front of her!! Now I am filled of hope in God's Mercy.🙏
Great video! as a young Anglican in a Caribbean island with not many Roman Catholics this video and many of your other videos, Mr Fradd has been pulling me more and more to look into Catholicism. Blessings !
Bless you, brother. Pray and continue to read the Scriptures fervently and I’m sure God will guide you. Becoming Catholic will be the greatest thing that’s ever happened to you, though perhaps among the most difficult. It will also be the best thing for your Anglican friends and family. God bless you!
When i announced my conversion to my very Southern Baptist mother, her response was that she’d rather me be a deeply devout Catholic than a lukewarm Baptist and the rest of my baptist family expressed similar feelings. This was because of the broad mindedness their Southern Baptist pastor pastor impressed upon them in regards to Catholics and other Christians. He was also a pioneer in the civil rights movement among white southern Baptist leaders. He led First Baptist Church in Florence, SC from 1943 thru 1981 and he was well ahead of his time. He taught them that despite some disagreements Catholics and Orthodox still loved and served the same Lord and that they had a duty to support the Catholic Church in all areas where they found agreement. He also aggressively pushed for his congregation to reach out to and welcome black Christians in the worst part of the Jim Crow race riots. The two churches were neighboring parishes for many years and in 1970 when the Catholic parish burned down, he and everyone at the church that day personally joined horses with the Catholics, Episcopalians, and Methodists on the block to rush into the blazing church to get as many of the statues, altars, and other sacred objects out as possible befor the fire consumed them. He even told his congregation “our Catholic brothers and sisters need our help now” and offered full use of their facilities for all their masses and other church functions until they could replace their parish building.
Reading this made me emotional. Nothing compares to the unity under Christ and how absolutely beautiful it is. That man is an amazing example of the love of Jesus.
Seems like many are becoming Catholics in a time when the Church suffers the most and has many apostates. 🗣Its the Mighty hand of our Lord Jesus Christ , glory be to God
The cream of Protestant converts are come into the CHURCH only the ignorant/unchatechized leave the Church. Atlest half of the congregation of any Protestant denomination are excatholic. The Church is exploding in India, Africa, Middle East as I know it. The great apostasy is precursor to the second coming of Christ as CCC states.
We have a previous Protestant pastor who converted to Catholicism 6 or 7 years ago. He and his wife have been a wonderful asset to our parish. He has a class between the Sunday morning Masses that are helping so many of us grow in our Faith. They were guests of Marcus Groti on the Journey Home. Their journey to the Church was 10 years long. Such a blessing to us. My husband who had sat in Mass with me for 11 years and just couldn't cross over decided to start attending class with me and within a year and half going finally came into union with us 2 years ago last August.
Two of the married deacons at our parish grew up as Protestants. One of them came from a family of Methodist Missionaries and the other came by way of the Baptist faith tradition. Their love for Jesus brought them all the way home.
I am Protestant but have always been interested in Catholicism. I have prayed the rosary but also had hesitations. I was so surprised to learn that the “Hail Mary” is scriptural. I can finally pray the rosary without any hesitation. Thanks for this video!!
If I may add, pray in Eucharistic Adoration every day, or at least, in your travels, find an open Catholic Church and pray near, or before the tabernacle every day for at least a half hour, if you can. You can also just sit there in peace in the presence of our Lord. God Bless!
As a revert, absent from the Catholic Church for 20 yrs., and attending an Evangelical Church for those 20 yrs, it was the True Presence that "nailed" it for me... slammed the door on my old Church and ran straight back to the Catholic Church never to leave again!
same here! i wandered a little but my soul hungered for the Eucharist.. it was like mornign i went to catholic chuch for the true worship and went to protestant churhc for its sermon, music and the “feels” but everytime i went out something was really lacking! so i decided to study catholicism and dang! i fall in love to the catholic faith since!
Me too! I didn't know what the Real Presence was, but I was drawn to Him. I just knew I wanted the Eucharist. I cried for Him. Every time we had our "communion" a few times a year in our little evangelical churches, I cried.
Pahimulin from the Philippines. NonCatholics must study the richness of the Catholic religion, it's history, the Shroud of Turin, the stories about Guadalupe image of the Holy Mother, also about Lourdes, Fatima, the lives of saints and Catholic theology.
All I see is a man who has fallen in love with Jesus Christ over and over again. Thank you very much Shane for sharing your conviction and bringing that zeal into the Catholic Church. Truly a gift!
Hard to choose a favorite episode of Pints with Aquinas, but this is in the top, for sure. I converted over 12 years ago, but I'm in a mostly Protestant world. I struggle with being able to live fully Catholic. Thank you so much for this encouragement.
Praise to our Father in heaven for giving us His beloved Son عيسى مسيح the king who calls us to Himself in the most confusing times.As a x Muslim , x Protestant who was extremely puzzled about the truth, my Jesus Christ guided me to the right path /church/ faith through immaculate sorrowful heart and soul of His/ our beloved Mother Mary مريم Mariam. Praise, glory and honor to His glorious name, body and blood of Christ/ messiah. Amen!
@Jesse Thomas - Protestantism made me a better Catholic as it challenged me to READ and know my Bible. St Jerome "Ignorance of Scripture is Ignorance of Christ." Tell me which canonised/non canonised saints didn't struggle or suffer? Picking up your cross and following Christ is true discipleship. Reception of the SACRAMENTS "WORITHILY" confers "Sanctifying Grace" without which I would be dead twice over if that was possible. Take courage with this Scripture Verse "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith - 2 Tim 4:7. Shalom of Christ
I am a former Jehovah's Witness. For years, I knew there were doctrinal problems with the group, but I couldn't cut loose. I kept going back to that religion. Then one evening, I happened upon Mother Angelica praying the Rosary on EWTN. I thought, "Who's this fat lady?". But then I thought that I should try this prayer. That was five years ago. I have prayed the rosary everyday since then. The Catholic Church was downloaded into my soul like a zip file the first few times I prayed the Rosary. I became Catholic before I ever stepped into a Church. The hold that the Jehovah's Witnesses had on me evaporated like morning fog in the sun. I never thought about them again.
I was born in a Catholic family, studied in a Catholic school from nursery to highschool. Iwas very religious all throughout and even served the church in the choir for years. But when my father got critically sick at a turning point in my life, I was disillusioned. I felt that I was being good and our family don't deserve this suffering. I rebelled. But I was brought back to Jesus by Christians. They opened my eyes to a lot of questions. What they say made so much sense. Now, I'm confused. I abandoned devotion to the Mother Mary and to the other saints. Now, hearing you, you made me realize that I have to read and pray about our Catholic faith. Thank you for giving me some guidance.
I almost left but the more I studied, the more I knew the Catholic Church is the church started by Jesus and so rich and deep in faith. My Protestant friend made me a better Catholic.
Remember that the Lord taught you to pray to be fathered from above Out father in heaven, meh we make your name consecrated and bring your kingdom the Church forth, doing your will here on earth as in heaven, give us today the forthcoming/supernateral bread, and forgive us as we Forgicve others, put us not to the test but deliver us from the evil.
Former protestant. I remember the 1st time I stepped foot into a Catholic Church. I now try to steer clear of feelings but the inner peace feeling I had when I stepped foot inside St Peters I knew something real and different was there. It was the first time I had been in the same room as the Holy Eucharist.
I am a former Charlotte Area Catholic, converted in 2002. Still frequent Mass and attend goings on there. Fr Kauth, that he mentions, and the St Joseph Seminary is very special.
I became Catholic this past April - good to hear from another convert who has also been part of the church for only a few months. St. Therese of Lisieux is also my confirmation saint!
At 43:00 Shane mentions Fr. John David Ramsey. He is currently the Pastor at St. Benedict's in Richmond, VA. He is truly a great man, and I am blessed that he is my pastor.
@@crobeastness If it helps, I think St. Benedict's in Richmond, VA is a Catholic parish, so Tim means that Fr. John Ramsey is pastoring a Catholic church that Tim attends :)
If Shane is not one of the sweetest most authentic human beings I’ve ever seen, I don’t know what it means by saying someone is an ‘authentic human being.’ God bless this man. Praise God he actually truly had a heart for God and didn’t stop with the heresy.
I wish I could sit down and talk to this man. I was raised Church of Christ. My wife is Baptist. But lately I have had some strong feelings about Catholicism. I feel I am being drawn in that direction but still have so many questions
We are blessed to be living in a time where so much information is at our fingertips. Also on a thread of messages I saw Shane has a RUclips channel (which I already subscribed to). Maybe you can reach him there! May God bless your journey! Our Catholic faith is so incredibly rich and beautiful I hope your path leads you home
I believe you would get a great deal out of enrolling in an RCIA course at your local Catholic Church. It is a preparatory course for people wishing to enter The RCC BUT, it is also for ANYONE who wants to learn more about the teachings of The RCC & there is absolutely no obligation to convert & no pressure. You can just give the church office a call & get info about it. God bless! [9.16.2021]
I attended the UMC where Pastor Shane was. I loved Pastor Shane and was so upset when he left. As a result, I left that church. You never knew where Shane stood politically, he preached God's word. The church wanted him to weave politic into his sermons. I am so thankful he never did. He is so knowledgeable of the scriptures, which made him such an interesting preacher. I was always engaged in his sermons and always left church having learned so much. I go back at times and listen to his past sermons. I understand the Catholic way, but it is a shame he cannot preach a mass. I loved listening to his story. Thank you for having him on.
While this man is gifted with story telling, catholics don't follow men, we go to to church to get the Eucharist. In all the protestant faiths people follow men. Like you said, when Shane left, you left. When I realized that, in my faith journey, I could not step foot in anything but a Catholic Church.
Conversion stories, like this, do solidify my Catholic faith. The stars of them all are Scot Hahn and Steve Ray. Thanks Mr. Page for sharing your conversion story.
Oh, my Goodness! This is my body. Mary already knew. This is awesome! As a Catholic convert wife, while my husband is still serving a Protestant church, my heart is soaring! You’ve come into my life at the very best time! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am a convert from Episcopalian faith. I never really knew any Catholics growing up in the south, and was taught to think they were super weird and not Christian. Never even heard of the Virgin Mary... Honestly, I believe our Protestant bros and sisters will be instrumental in helping to rebuild our Church as they have such a deep and personal relationship with Christ. It's so excititng!!!
My wife now deceased was Episcopalian but converted to become Catholic so she could receive Holy Communion with me. We used to say the rosary together every day. She was a better Catholic than I could ever hope to be! Episcopalians are sometimes called Catholic lite! Your story warms my heart and brings a tear to my eyes 😢
I am a convert and I can tell you it is not easy to humble yourself, but when God calls you should listen. My own Fundamentalist family loves God so much that when I came to them and told them I have been called to be a Catholic... I knew almost no one who was Catholic. I disagreed with many theological points of the Catholic Church, but my love of Jesus was so great that when God called me, actually told me to be Catholic, I was blown away. I argued with God, I can't. You don't see my life? Who I am? The problems with that? My life is messy. God said, I have been trying a long time to tell you this, to be Catholic. Well I thought I would get stiff resistance and even rejection from my Fundamentalist family, but I am the kind of person that listens to God because of them. My aged uncle merely looked at me and said if God has called you then that is what you must do. Talk about faith; he really meant that. His faith was so great that even though he could not understand he knew I must respond. The acceptance of my Protestant family of my conversion had a big impact on many of them; they knew something good was happening to me. I am so, so very grateful to be Catholic. I find I am always learning something new. I am so humbled by it all. I found a deeper, truer more authentic and consistent philosophy of faith in the Catholic church. I love her, the Church, I will never be separated from Her and the Holy and True Communion; I would love all to come to the Catholic Church and see. Thank you Most Holy Trinity and my mother Mary.
A friend of mine journeyed into the Catholic Church via the Baptist faith tradition. Her Presbyterian husband could not understand her obsession. He invited the local Baptist pastor to their home to talk some sense into her. Instead of dissuading her from looking into the Catholic Church it actually energized her efforts. After that, her husband said he would support her but at the same time, he informed her (in no uncertain terms) that he would NOT be following her into the Catholic Church. Five years later he also came into full communion with the Catholic Church.
When catholics pray the holy rosary, we have intercession prayer with the mother of Jesus to pray for sins of the whole humanity that's why catholics carry the cross of the whole world 🌍.
@@JacGBoots1 I think it means that we are persecuted and mocked by some, of other faiths, for the very foundation of our Faith: the True Presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. The Blessed Virgin Mary, His Mother, teaches us and draws us to Him, and is Joy personified. This Faith, and our response to Mother Mary's call, can be, to say the very least, difficult to share with our brothers and sisters who have not yet come to share in the fullness of the Faith. We are persecuted and shunned as we seek to introduce others to Mary. Some Catholics do, indeed, know and understand the Reward for spreading the One, True Faith. Other Catholics, enduring the mockery and rejection which often comes with their efforts, may feel discouraged, which could certainly be a heavy cross to bear. They do not yet know that the deep agony of this cross will be relieved when they witness the joy of those who come to believe, helped by their efforts. Please pray for them! 🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹 Beth
Nice conversation congratulations 🎈 we are happy for you thanksgiving. Desire all to want to live in Gods Divine Will amen Allelluia fiat fiat fiat ❤❤❤❤
Courage is required to leave any Protestant sect to become a Catholic - while we love our Protestant roots we love truth more just like we love Plato but we love truth more
I went to Duke Divinity and I can tell you that it has become far more of a progressive theological seminary than Catholic Orthodox like many seminaries have. But during Shane's time it was a lot more traditional and Orthodox in it's teachings. Thank you Shane for your testimony as someone who is now on the journey of becoming Catholic from a Protestant background. Any prayers would be helpful. God bless.
When I saw it was 2hrs long I rolled my eyes, then after half way I got chills on how he came to the church (beautiful). When it was over I literally said it was not long enough.🤣😅😆🤣
Oh my, I so agree! This is a wonderful testimony. Especially as I am so drawn to Catholicism from being an atheist for decades and Baptist, Jehovah’s Witness in childhood. Praise God! 😊🙏❤️🌹
As a long ago convert, this guest's summary of the Immacule Conception is the most unique, beautiful and thorough I have heard. I'm truly blessed by listening/ watching! Thank you for sharing!!🙏
Wow, best interview ever. I had planned to only watch about 15 minutes, but when I got started, I got hooked. Even my wife ended up joining me and watching the whole interview. It's amazing how former Protestants make some of the best Catholics. We are blessed to have a former Baptist as chief pastor of our Catholic church. He has the gift of bringing the Gospel alive during his homilies and I always learn something new. I wish Shane Page all the best for the future.
What a great testimony! Thank you for giving Shane so much time to share. I would much rather spend two hours listening to testimonies like this than two minutes of network television. As a revert, it took me decades to re-discover my Catholic faith. For decades I moved from one protestant church to another seeking more truth. I spent time with the pentacostals, charismatics, assemblies, grace, and even a short time with the baptists. The more I studied the many different doctrines across the protestant landscape, the more I found myself discovering the truth in the Catholic church. Thank you for sharing this!
Same here, sir! My priest introduced me one time as a “cradle Catholic that keeps falling out of bed”, lol. But nothing compares to the Eucharist and the rich beauty in our church. At 64 yrs old, I am here to stay!
I am currently doing the 33 days of morning glory, it is absolutely beautiful and I have begun to feel a spiritual conversation. I was previously a lukewarm catholic but I now feel the fire. I hope that I can have this fire till the day I die.
How can a person who has long died and who is not Devine nor omnipresent bring people to Christ? She is asleep in christ and awaits the 2nd coming same as any other Christian.
Your prayers are working. I’ve been drawn strongly to the Catholic Church this past year after years of being a strong atheist and Baptist and Jehovah’s Witness childhood. I watch Mass on Divine Mercy channel daily. I hope to start going to the local church soon - I’m ‘scared’ and have no idea why! Im being silly becauseI’m sure they will be very welcoming. 🙏😊❤️🌹
Matt (I’m a fellow Aussie) I loved it when you said ‘oh you’re gone now!’ after Shane mentioned he was doing the St Louis De Montford’s consecration to Mary! So funny, I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing 😁 Once Mary has you, you have no chance but to become Catholic. I’m a cleaner at a school and listen to your podcasts everyday. I love the conversion stories! Love your questions and approach as an interviewer. Thank you so much for all you are doing in spending the faith. What a privilege it is to be born Catholic, I think many of us take it for granted. Beautiful testimony Shane, God bless you both.
Thank you so much for this particular podcast. Also as an adult convert to Catholicism from being a lifelong Methodist (and my parents, grandparents, etc), I found so many similarities between Shane’s thoughts and mine. I loved my church and didn’t want to leave even though I attended mass with my husband and his family for 15 years before converting. I never felt I was running away from the Methodist Church as much as I was running to the Catholic Church. It was just more to me. More truth in the Eucharist but also more tradition, more history and the fullness of faith. Thank you again! PS I’m also from NC!
Not running from but running (or better: sliding) to - same with me 4 years ago! 😀 I was a little afraid because of not being a cradle catholic, but is has all worked out well. There is much room for such a "lutheran catholic" like me. (Only that I still wish for a chance to serve at mass...)
Beautiful. You can hear the difficulties but victories in his voice in true humility and charity. God bless you! Converts make me, a cradle Catholic, more stronger in my Faith!
Shane Page- you rock. God bless your testimony. Also, what a beauty it is that Shane couldn’t remember how he found Story of a Soul… she finds us! Saint Thérèse is doing her mission in heaven: doing good on earth for Jesus. Also beautiful how Thérèse introduced him to devotion to Mary… wow… what a glory story! I’m only 30 minutes in so far but this is great.
So precious and such a beautiful story! I literally had a huge smile on my face and felt like crying the whole time !! Please bring him and his wife back 💖
Saw the 2 hour video, only intended to watch 15 minutes, and 1 hour and 15 minutes later I can't peel my eyes and ears away. Thank you for sharing your story 🥰
The best piece of advice I received from this interview is to "Just ask questions!" It's so tempting to just start giving talking points or your own advice/experiences. What a gentle, good soul.
Shane, being a catholic no where will I search. Mass is not just Mass , it’s an experience. And the Lord invites me to share, beyond thrilled every time.
I have a good friend who is a former UMC pastor here in the Philippines. He became a Catholic on Easter Vigil 2019 together with his wife and his daughter. He is one of the many reasons why I am now interested with the Divine Worship of the Ordinariates for former Anglicans, both the Mass and the Daily Office (I'm a lifelong Catholic, btw). I can only hope many Filipinos connected to the Anglican Communion to discern Catholicism through the avenues paved by Anglicanorum Coetibus and bolster the traction of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross.
So happy that WOF and the good Bishop got a shout out.🥰🥰🥰 Thank you, Shane! God bless your family! And thank you Pints with Aquinas! God bless your ministry.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was one of my favorite interviews! Shane helped me ( a cradle Catholic) understand and FULLY accept the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. Thanks for having him on the show!
He should really look into the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter. Most of the priests there are former Anglican/Methodist clergy and a majority of them are married. I think Mr. Page would make an excellent priest and it wouldn’t be a bad idea for him to discern that route.
I LOVED this! I was a convert 50 years ago but only learned of the REAL presence of Jesus as the Holy Eucharist 25 years ago. Still, I was drawn into the Church...
I had Matt’s exact reaction as soon as Shane said “Montfort Marián consecration”. “Oh! That’s it!.Your done!” Fastest way to Christ. Oh, how the Devil hates this devotion!
This was a great conversion story. I love the way he described and explained the Blessed Mother. Bishop Barron has helped countless people enter the Church. To light a fire on the earth is an excellent book! Bishop Barron hands down was the main reason I fell in love with my faith all over again. I recommend his RUclips channel and books. God bless!
Shane, you are a gift to the Catholic Church. May the Lord prosper all your endeavors and may through your gift of evangelization more souls are drawn closer to Jesus. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your story with us Shane! Your zeal for Christ and His Church is palpable! May you continue to shine your light for all to see and be drawn to.
"To Jesus through Mary" - great interview. I never get sick of hearing conversion stories and always learn something new. I've learnt more about my own Catholic faith from converts over the years, as well as better understanding the protestant perspective. Would love to see Shane on the Journey Home program sometime. God bless.
Love his enthusiasm and rekindles my faith and reminds me of when I first fell in love with Jesus and my Catholic faith! God bless and keeping you both in my prayers!
I first saw Mr. Shane on true faith tv and was so excited to see that he was on Pints with Aquinas. It was an amazing episode thanks for sharing your testimony Mr.Shane.
What an amazing story of Conversion! It just goes to show that when you truly seek the Lord, you' will find Him. Thank you to you both for this wonderful video! Thank you Shane for sharing your story! Converts like you help us grow in Faith. Thnk you and God bless you in abundance.🙏
Wow. Such a full testimony, as in struggle, suffering, deep discernment, enlightenment, shadows…very human heart speaking here. May the Blessed Mother hold you and your family in her Immaculate Heart, may St Therese shower you with rose petals, may Mother Angelica lend you her tenacious love and determination. I’m guessing they have your back and am sure you have God’s blessing. He may want you to publish your story.
Phenominal podcast with Shane Page. I watched the whole program and was fascinated with his story. I am Catholic and saved it to share with a Methodist friend of mine. So happy for he and his wife in their journey forward with Jesus! Barbara I./NY
Love listening to ‘Gabi After Hours’..,.yes he has helped me to grow to love Our Lady even more and also to wear the Miraculous medal… Definitely recommend watching his videos… Great show..God bless you Shane…
ABSOLUTLY BRILLIANT SHOW! Truly BLESSED AnD BRILLIANT! What a GIFT TO THE CHURCH AND TO Hearing THIS INTERVIEW AND ALL DISCUSSED! Thank you! I am going to become a patron Matt! You and your guests feed so well!!!! And I am a cradle Catholic and love the Church.🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Fellow Southerner who converted from Methodism to Catholicism with my young family. It's been such a wonderful and fulfilling journey. Love hearing this accent, ha. Feels like home!
Methodists are inherently decent people. It's been sad watching the denomination basically collapse. The confusion and outright heresy that came to dominate my local UMC congregations really was demoralizing. Perhaps more will venture back to our true roots in Catholicism. All glory to God.
Absolutely beautiful story. Your point that Mary also says “This is my body, given up for You, Jesus.” Wow! Stunning. I’ve never heard that. Thank you so much. God bless.
What a fabulous interview and beautiful story of the journey of conversion! Professing the reality of Mary’s role and the Eucharist is so encouraging and refreshing! Thank You and God bless you both!
Absolutely Fantastic rather TRULY AWESOME. Heard great conversion stories before but this one^s journey is UNiQUE. Thank you for bringing such joyful, enlightening so entertaining convert stories for us Catholic to hear. How GREAT GOD is to bring ^pastors^ from other denominations to join One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. WELCOME and BLESSINGS. Love your take on Immaculate Conception.
I love these stories. I’m thinking about “why?” they are so important and intriguing. One thing that comes to mind is when he was talking about receiving grace. So beautiful and so true. I’ve been so stuck on Paul’s saying about “it’s no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me”…it’s like a Christ takeover, but only when you can totally submit. Words can’t even describe that because it sounds almost fake. Grace…just outstanding.
This was just fabulous! I hope Shane does start his own podcast, would love for him to impart his wisdom and commentary on scripture. Keep preaching brother.
I love GabiAfterHours and TrueFaithTalks/ TrueFaithTV! I listened to that episode of his podcast (Children of Mary podcast) and when I saw that Matt's episode is about a Methodist Pastor converting to Catholicism, I thought "Could this be the same pastor that Gabi referred to? The same one who got him some equipment for his podcast?" Amazing!
@@philotheake I believe the video was on his TrueFaith Talks channel, Children of Mary Podcast, "Divine Providence" where they talk about St. Dominic and The Rosary. 😊
Wow, great show! I’ve been Catholic all my life-I’ve definitely grown and appreciate my Faith much more in my later years. This video gave me such a perspective on Protestants that I’ve never been able to understand. I’ve never been able to understand how one can stay out in something that isn’t truth. I think this is a gift our Lord has given me to soften myself a bit when it comes to evangelizing. God bless!
1 year after watching this, I myself am a former Protestant (Baptist) pastor who converted to Catholicism, whole family in tow. Shane was a great help to me when I reached out to him last year about my discernment process. God bless you Shane and God bless you Matt for your ministries.
Wow you're story is inspiring
Great
❤

You sacrificed your livelihood in your conversion. I hope and pray that God bless you ten folds.
I’m a recent convert as well. Raised and Baptized nondenominational. My father was one of the pastors and my mothers side was Catholic. We were always told that they were not Christians but I am so happy and excited to have found the truth in the Catholic Church!!
Catholics get a bad rap. Who do protestant s believe translated and protection of the Bible some day find How the Irish saved humanity
So am I and I am so saddened but not surprised, of how you possibly grew up, to justify yourself even if you didn't but the elders did, by all the lies that protestants knowingly or unknowingly, spread to confirm you in your belief. I am Catholic and I love our origins, the history I mean, and so could never really reneg the faith based on the origins too. I love even the story of St. Paul's conversion, and when you read his letters, you know what he went through to not only go from being a rabid anti-christian Jew, to a defender of the faith. He's like my modern day hero. And, then I recall having visited the Cathedral built in his honour outside the walls of Rome. Too much history to become anything else! Amen
Hello. Recommend to you the book "The Catholic Controversy" of Francis of Sales. God bless you!
Welcome to the fullness of the Gospel! Praise the Lord
What is a so called non denominational other than a so called denomination! You were lied to because ONLY Catholic’s loyal to the infallible Magisterium are true Christian’s.

Also protestantism is an abomination in the sight of God because protestant’s put their own false interpretation on sacred scripture which is blasphemous and they pick and choose what to believe and what to reject which is of Satan. There’s NO salvation outside the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by God himself two thousand year’s ago because it’s the ONLY CHURCH THERE IS. There’s ONLY ONE baptism because there’s ONLY ONE CHURCH. Protestant so called churches DON’T EXIST! And as St. Louis de Montfort rightly said there’s NO salvation without devotion to Mary please read True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis de Montfort. I confront protestant’s and fundamentalists by saying if you truly love Jesus then imitate him by loving his beautiful and Immaculate mum Mary who was give to us from Jesus when he was on the Cross to be our spiritual mum! God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
I am a protestant convert and did the Monfort Marian Concecretion during the origional Covid shut down. Best time spent EVER!
It has been quite a journey for me that continues to this day and beyond! Thank you Jesus! 🙏❤
Welcome home …. and may Jesus and his Immaculate Mother accompany and bless you on this journey toward Heaven

Converts make the BEST catholics
The hunger of a Catholic convert for our faith is unbelievably refreshing & I enjoyed this video immensely. My oldest child has recently come back to the church like a bullet after 20 years and my heart is full.
Praying that my oldest child does the same. She's been out for about 10 years.

@@julieelizabeth4856 what a blessing Julie, my heart is so happy for you. I pray the same happens for my children🙏.
It's heartening to know that I'm not the only mother going through the anguish of seeing my child, turning from an innocent very devout child to someone who feels irritated when I pray in front of her!! Now I am filled of hope in God's Mercy.🙏
@@spinninginspace Thank you for sharing your experience and for encouraging us to pray for Our Blessed Mother's intercession🙏
Great video! as a young Anglican in a Caribbean island with not many Roman Catholics this video and many of your other videos, Mr Fradd has been pulling me more and more to look into Catholicism. Blessings !
Bless you, brother. Pray and continue to read the Scriptures fervently and I’m sure God will guide you. Becoming Catholic will be the greatest thing that’s ever happened to you, though perhaps among the most difficult. It will also be the best thing for your Anglican friends and family.
God bless you!
Are there any eastern catholic churches near you? Or no?
God bless you! I'll keep you in my prayers, and I'm so excited for you on this journey.
Check out Catholicism! Its great!!!!
You're already with us, brother. Keep learning and enjoying the faith.
When i announced my conversion to my very Southern Baptist mother, her response was that she’d rather me be a deeply devout Catholic than a lukewarm Baptist and the rest of my baptist family expressed similar feelings. This was because of the broad mindedness their Southern Baptist pastor pastor impressed upon them in regards to Catholics and other Christians. He was also a pioneer in the civil rights movement among white southern Baptist leaders.
He led First Baptist Church in Florence, SC from 1943 thru 1981 and he was well ahead of his time. He taught them that despite some disagreements Catholics and Orthodox still loved and served the same Lord and that they had a duty to support the Catholic Church in all areas where they found agreement. He also aggressively pushed for his congregation to reach out to and welcome black Christians in the worst part of the Jim Crow race riots. The two churches were neighboring parishes for many years and in 1970 when the Catholic parish burned down, he and everyone at the church that day personally joined horses with the Catholics, Episcopalians, and Methodists on the block to rush into the blazing church to get as many of the statues, altars, and other sacred objects out as possible befor the fire consumed them. He even told his congregation “our Catholic brothers and sisters need our help now” and offered full use of their facilities for all their masses and other church functions until they could replace their parish building.
wow!thank you for sharing..this is true meaning of Christians...Godbless..
Brothers and sisters in christ coming together to help one another... Stories like these always get shut down and/or are never talked about
Wow! This made me tear up. That Pastor is a real Christian. Bless him.
Reading this made me emotional. Nothing compares to the unity under Christ and how absolutely beautiful it is. That man is an amazing example of the love of Jesus.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful testimony! Brought tears to my eyes❤️
Seems like many are becoming Catholics in a time when the Church suffers the most and has many apostates.
🗣Its the Mighty hand of our Lord Jesus Christ , glory be to God
Amen!
Yes, it is! God is reaching out and touching many and bringing them to His Church!🌟🌃
The cream of Protestant converts are come into the CHURCH only the ignorant/unchatechized leave the Church. Atlest half of the congregation of any Protestant denomination are excatholic. The Church is exploding in India, Africa, Middle East as I know it. The great apostasy is precursor to the second coming of Christ as CCC states.
The apostasy is in the West.
We have a previous Protestant pastor who converted to Catholicism 6 or 7 years ago. He and his wife have been a wonderful asset to our parish. He has a class between the Sunday morning Masses that are helping so many of us grow in our Faith. They were guests of Marcus Groti on the Journey Home. Their journey to the Church was 10 years long. Such a blessing to us. My husband who had sat in Mass with me for 11 years and just couldn't cross over decided to start attending class with me and within a year and half going finally came into union with us 2 years ago last August.
Two of the married deacons at our parish grew up as Protestants. One of them came from a family of Methodist Missionaries and the other came by way of the Baptist faith tradition. Their love for Jesus brought them all the way home.
Praise God!
I am Protestant but have always been interested in Catholicism. I have prayed the rosary but also had hesitations. I was so surprised to learn that the “Hail Mary” is scriptural. I can finally pray the rosary without any hesitation. Thanks for this video!!
Recommend to you the book "The Catholic Controversy" of Francis of Sales. God bless you!
If I may add, pray in Eucharistic Adoration every day, or at least, in your travels, find an open Catholic Church and pray near, or before the tabernacle every day for at least a half hour, if you can. You can also just sit there in peace in the presence of our Lord. God Bless!
@@RadTradX What are all the books you read? I would like to share them with an agnostic friend.
Sure, worship idols. Go ahead.
@@zeitlichkeit5094 What Idols?
As a revert, absent from the Catholic Church for 20 yrs., and attending an Evangelical Church for those 20 yrs, it was the True Presence that "nailed" it for me... slammed the door on my old Church and ran straight back to the Catholic Church never to leave again!
same here! i wandered a little but my soul hungered for the Eucharist.. it was like mornign i went to catholic chuch for the true worship and went to protestant churhc for its sermon, music and the “feels” but everytime i went out something was really lacking! so i decided to study catholicism and dang! i fall in love to the catholic faith since!
Me too! I didn't know what the Real Presence was, but I was drawn to Him. I just knew I wanted the Eucharist. I cried for Him. Every time we had our "communion" a few times a year in our little evangelical churches, I cried.
Pahimulin from the Philippines. NonCatholics must study the richness of the Catholic religion, it's history, the Shroud of Turin, the stories about Guadalupe image of the Holy Mother, also about Lourdes, Fatima, the lives of saints and Catholic theology.
Thinking of it.
All I see is a man who has fallen in love with Jesus Christ over and over again. Thank you very much Shane for sharing your conviction and bringing that zeal into the Catholic Church. Truly a gift!
Hard to choose a favorite episode of Pints with Aquinas, but this is in the top, for sure. I converted over 12 years ago, but I'm in a mostly Protestant world. I struggle with being able to live fully Catholic. Thank you so much for this encouragement.
I have listened to pretty much everything he has ever put out there. This is my favorite one so far.
Welcome home!!! You are not alone
Praise to our Father in heaven for giving us His beloved Son عيسى مسيح

St Faustina's Diary converted me and the daily Rosary sustains me
@Jesse Thomas - Protestantism made me a better Catholic as it challenged me to READ and know my Bible. St Jerome "Ignorance of Scripture is Ignorance of Christ." Tell me which canonised/non canonised saints didn't struggle or suffer? Picking up your cross and following Christ is true discipleship. Reception of the SACRAMENTS "WORITHILY" confers "Sanctifying Grace" without which I would be dead twice over if that was possible. Take courage with this Scripture Verse
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith - 2 Tim 4:7.
Shalom of Christ
I am a former Jehovah's Witness. For years, I knew there were doctrinal problems with the group, but I couldn't cut loose. I kept going back to that religion. Then one evening, I happened upon Mother Angelica praying the Rosary on EWTN. I thought, "Who's this fat lady?". But then I thought that I should try this prayer. That was five years ago. I have prayed the rosary everyday since then. The Catholic Church was downloaded into my soul like a zip file the first few times I prayed the Rosary. I became Catholic before I ever stepped into a Church. The hold that the Jehovah's Witnesses had on me evaporated like morning fog in the sun. I never thought about them again.
God bless you Mother Angelica! Welcome ❤
you're literally an NPC, that's why
@@craigbikes8831 ummm....a No Problem Catholic? Just guessing, here.🤔😊
Wow what a beautiful testimony! Amen 🙏
AMEN SISTER ❤❤
I was born in a Catholic family, studied in a Catholic school from nursery to highschool. Iwas very religious all throughout and even served the church in the choir for years. But when my father got critically sick at a turning point in my life, I was disillusioned. I felt that I was being good and our family don't deserve this suffering. I rebelled. But I was brought back to Jesus by Christians. They opened my eyes to a lot of questions. What they say made so much sense. Now, I'm confused. I abandoned devotion to the Mother Mary and to the other saints. Now, hearing you, you made me realize that I have to read and pray about our Catholic faith. Thank you for giving me some guidance.
I almost left but the more I studied, the more I knew the Catholic Church is the church started by Jesus and so rich and deep in faith. My Protestant friend made me a better Catholic.
Remember that the Lord taught you to pray to be fathered from above Out father in heaven, meh we make your name consecrated and bring your kingdom the Church forth, doing your will here on earth as in heaven, give us today the forthcoming/supernateral bread, and forgive us as we Forgicve others, put us not to the test but deliver us from the evil.
I received Holy Communion tonight and I was overcome with emotion. I can’t explain it other than God touching my heart. 🥺🥲
“If Jesus could of given us a better gift than the
Eucharist, he would have.”

May the risen Lord bless you and your family.
Even saten or devil knows the power of The Holy Eucharist, thats why satan worshipper's steal The Holy Eucharist for black mass.
You received the blood and body of our Savior. During the transubstantiation of the bread and wine it transforms to His body and His blood.

Former protestant. I remember the 1st time I stepped foot into a Catholic Church. I now try to steer clear of feelings but the inner peace feeling I had when I stepped foot inside St Peters I knew something real and different was there. It was the first time I had been in the same room as the Holy Eucharist.
So wonderful to hear from a fellow NC convert!
I'm from Charlotte I came in the church in 2007 from southern baptist.
I’m from your area Tarheel Catholic
I am a former Charlotte Area Catholic, converted in 2002. Still frequent Mass and attend goings on there. Fr Kauth, that he mentions, and the St Joseph Seminary is very special.
I became Catholic this past April - good to hear from another convert who has also been part of the church for only a few months. St. Therese of Lisieux is also my confirmation saint!

At 43:00 Shane mentions Fr. John David Ramsey. He is currently the Pastor at St. Benedict's in Richmond, VA. He is truly a great man, and I am blessed that he is my pastor.
@@crobeastness If it helps, I think St. Benedict's in Richmond, VA is a Catholic parish, so Tim means that Fr. John Ramsey is pastoring a Catholic church that Tim attends :)
@@carmendenia3352 exactly. Thanks for explaining.
As a cradle catholic it's awesome to hear this kind of conversion stories. You are catholic heroes!!!
If Shane is not one of the sweetest most authentic human beings I’ve ever seen, I don’t know what it means by saying someone is an ‘authentic human being.’
God bless this man.
Praise God he actually truly had a heart for God and didn’t stop with the heresy.
I wish I could sit down and talk to this man. I was raised Church of Christ. My wife is Baptist. But lately I have had some strong feelings about Catholicism. I feel I am being drawn in that direction but still have so many questions
We are blessed to be living in a time where so much information is at our fingertips. Also on a thread of messages I saw Shane has a RUclips channel (which I already subscribed to). Maybe you can reach him there! May God bless your journey! Our Catholic faith is so incredibly rich and beautiful I hope your path leads you home
@@sheylamercado9801 Thank you
I believe you would get a great deal out of enrolling in an RCIA course at your local Catholic Church. It is a preparatory course for people wishing to enter The RCC BUT, it is also for ANYONE who wants to learn more about the teachings of The RCC & there is absolutely no obligation to convert & no pressure. You can just give the church office a call & get info about it. God bless!
[9.16.2021]
@@mcsmama Thank you. I will look into that
@@docmagame9089 yes, no pressure, just a presentation of the faith and answering questions, with prayers of course. The church explaining the church.
I attended the UMC where Pastor Shane was. I loved Pastor Shane and was so upset when he left. As a result, I left that church. You never knew where Shane stood politically, he preached God's word. The church wanted him to weave politic into his sermons. I am so thankful he never did. He is so knowledgeable of the scriptures, which made him such an interesting preacher. I was always engaged in his sermons and always left church having learned so much. I go back at times and listen to his past sermons. I understand the Catholic way, but it is a shame he cannot preach a mass.
I loved listening to his story. Thank you for having him on.
Shane can give Sermons (preach) once he becomes "Deacon Shane"
While this man is gifted with story telling, catholics don't follow men, we go to to church to get the Eucharist. In all the protestant faiths people follow men. Like you said, when Shane left, you left. When I realized that, in my faith journey, I could not step foot in anything but a Catholic Church.
Conversion stories, like this, do solidify my Catholic faith. The stars of them all are Scot Hahn and Steve Ray. Thanks Mr. Page for sharing your conversion story.
Oh, my Goodness! This is my body. Mary already knew. This is awesome! As a Catholic convert wife, while my husband is still serving a Protestant church, my heart is soaring! You’ve come into my life at the very best time! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am a convert from Episcopalian faith. I never really knew any Catholics growing up in the south, and was taught to think they were super weird and not Christian. Never even heard of the Virgin Mary... Honestly, I believe our Protestant bros and sisters will be instrumental in helping to rebuild our Church as they have such a deep and personal relationship with Christ. It's so excititng!!!
My wife now deceased was Episcopalian but converted to become Catholic so she could receive Holy Communion with me. We used to say the rosary together every day. She was a better Catholic than I could ever hope to be! Episcopalians are sometimes called Catholic lite! Your story warms my heart and brings a tear to my eyes 😢
I am a convert and I can tell you it is not easy to humble yourself, but when God calls you should listen. My own Fundamentalist family loves God so much that when I came to them and told them I have been called to be a Catholic... I knew almost no one who was Catholic. I disagreed with many theological points of the Catholic Church, but my love of Jesus was so great that when God called me, actually told me to be Catholic, I was blown away. I argued with God, I can't. You don't see my life? Who I am? The problems with that? My life is messy. God said, I have been trying a long time to tell you this, to be Catholic. Well I thought I would get stiff resistance and even rejection from my Fundamentalist family, but I am the kind of person that listens to God because of them. My aged uncle merely looked at me and said if God has called you then that is what you must do. Talk about faith; he really meant that. His faith was so great that even though he could not understand he knew I must respond. The acceptance of my Protestant family of my conversion had a big impact on many of them; they knew something good was happening to me. I am so, so very grateful to be Catholic. I find I am always learning something new. I am so humbled by it all. I found a deeper, truer more authentic and consistent philosophy of faith in the Catholic church. I love her, the Church, I will never be separated from Her and the Holy and True Communion; I would love all to come to the Catholic Church and see. Thank you Most Holy Trinity and my mother Mary.
Wow, what a great journey. I am a convert too and love our faith and the church. Keep praying and keep growing in Faith.
You were so fortunate to have a faith-filled wise uncle!
So wonderful!
A friend of mine journeyed into the Catholic Church via the Baptist faith tradition. Her Presbyterian husband could not understand her obsession. He invited the local Baptist pastor to their home to talk some sense into her. Instead of dissuading her from looking into the Catholic Church it actually energized her efforts. After that, her husband said he would support her but at the same time, he informed her (in no uncertain terms) that he would NOT be following her into the Catholic Church. Five years later he also came into full communion with the Catholic Church.
@@edwardlucas3575Awesome! When the Holy Spirit grabs one, there is no resisting Catholicism!
Riveting. The best 2 hrs spent in many weeks of depressing news. Somehow, this rekindled hope. Thanks, Matt!
What I love about catholics is that they always carry the heaviest cross. God bless you all
????????????????
When catholics pray the holy rosary, we have intercession prayer with the mother of Jesus to pray for sins of the whole humanity that's why catholics carry the cross of the whole world 🌍.
@@danp.torreja2777 I agree 💯 from New Zealand 🇳🇿😊👍 📿🇳🇿
@@JacGBoots1
I think it means that we are persecuted and mocked by some, of other faiths, for the very foundation of our Faith: the True Presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. The Blessed Virgin Mary, His Mother, teaches us and draws us to Him, and is Joy personified.
This Faith, and our response to Mother Mary's call, can be, to say the very least, difficult to share with our brothers and sisters who have not yet come to share in the fullness of the Faith. We are persecuted and shunned as we seek to introduce others to Mary. Some Catholics do, indeed, know and understand the Reward for spreading the One, True Faith. Other Catholics, enduring the mockery and rejection which often comes with their efforts, may feel discouraged, which could certainly be a heavy cross to bear. They do not yet know that the deep agony of this cross will be relieved when they witness the joy of those who come to believe, helped by their efforts. Please pray for them!

Nice conversation congratulations 🎈 we are happy for you thanksgiving. Desire all to want to live in Gods Divine Will amen Allelluia fiat fiat fiat ❤❤❤❤
The Rosary is not in the Bible however the Bible IS in the Rosary! We contemplate the life of Christ with every recitation of the Rosary!
Matt! Conversion stories like this never get old, as often as you want to do them you should!
Shane's courage and self-emptying sacrifice to follow Our Lord wherever He leads is inspiring. God is gracious and merciful.
Amen!
Learning about the Patristic Fathers is what brought me back to the Catholic Church.
Courage is required to leave any Protestant sect to become a Catholic - while we love our Protestant roots we love truth more just like we love Plato but we love truth more
that literally made no sense at all
Many thanks and welcome home, from a french catholic brother ! ;)
I went to Duke Divinity and I can tell you that it has become far more of a progressive theological seminary than Catholic Orthodox like many seminaries have. But during Shane's time it was a lot more traditional and Orthodox in it's teachings. Thank you Shane for your testimony as someone who is now on the journey of becoming Catholic from a Protestant background. Any prayers would be helpful. God bless.
When I saw it was 2hrs long I rolled my eyes, then after half way I got chills on how he came to the church (beautiful).
When it was over I literally said it was not long enough.🤣😅😆🤣

Oh my, I so agree! This is a wonderful testimony. Especially as I am so drawn to Catholicism from being an atheist for decades and Baptist, Jehovah’s Witness in childhood. Praise God! 😊🙏❤️🌹
Amen!

As a long ago convert, this guest's summary of the Immacule Conception is the most unique, beautiful and thorough I have heard. I'm truly blessed by listening/ watching! Thank you for sharing!!🙏
Wow, best interview ever. I had planned to only watch about 15 minutes, but when I got started, I got hooked. Even my wife ended up joining me and watching the whole interview. It's amazing how former Protestants make some of the best Catholics. We are blessed to have a former Baptist as chief pastor of our Catholic church. He has the gift of bringing the Gospel alive during his homilies and I always learn something new. I wish Shane Page all the best for the future.
What a great testimony! Thank you for giving Shane so much time to share. I would much rather spend two hours listening to testimonies like this than two minutes of network television. As a revert, it took me decades to re-discover my Catholic faith. For decades I moved from one protestant church to another seeking more truth. I spent time with the pentacostals, charismatics, assemblies, grace, and even a short time with the baptists. The more I studied the many different doctrines across the protestant landscape, the more I found myself discovering the truth in the Catholic church. Thank you for sharing this!
Same here, sir! My priest introduced me one time as a “cradle Catholic that keeps falling out of bed”, lol. But nothing compares to the Eucharist and the rich beauty in our church. At 64 yrs old, I am here to stay!
I am currently doing the 33 days of morning glory, it is absolutely beautiful and I have begun to feel a spiritual conversation. I was previously a lukewarm catholic but I now feel the fire. I hope that I can have this fire till the day I die.
Every story of Mary bringing people to her Son makes me cry. Thank you, Shane, for sharing your story. I really appreciate it.
How can a person who has long died and who is not Devine nor omnipresent bring people to Christ? She is asleep in christ and awaits the 2nd coming same as any other Christian.
The Little Flower, the saint who vowed to spend heaven doing good in the world. She delivered. Welcome home!
I pray every day for conversions and reconversions. Thank you God for answered prayers.
Your prayers are working. I’ve been drawn strongly to the Catholic Church this past year after years of being a strong atheist and Baptist and Jehovah’s Witness childhood. I watch Mass on Divine Mercy channel daily. I hope to start going to the local church soon - I’m ‘scared’ and have no idea why! Im being silly becauseI’m sure they will be very welcoming. 🙏😊❤️🌹
@@marthamydear7499 I am very happy to hear.
Matt (I’m a fellow Aussie) I loved it when you said ‘oh you’re gone now!’ after Shane mentioned he was doing the St Louis De Montford’s consecration to Mary! So funny, I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing 😁 Once Mary has you, you have no chance but to become Catholic.
I’m a cleaner at a school and listen to your podcasts everyday. I love the conversion stories! Love your questions and approach as an interviewer. Thank you so much for all you are doing in spending the faith. What a privilege it is to be born Catholic, I think many of us take it for granted. Beautiful testimony Shane, God bless you both.
so you openly admit this is a strange mary worship cult that you got sucked into. Thanks for your honesty LMAO
I am a Protestant from Gastonia! It’s really cool to get to hear the story of someone from my hometown.
Thank you so much for this particular podcast. Also as an adult convert to Catholicism from being a lifelong Methodist (and my parents, grandparents, etc), I found so many similarities between Shane’s thoughts and mine. I loved my church and didn’t want to leave even though I attended mass with my husband and his family for 15 years before converting. I never felt I was running away from the Methodist Church as much as I was running to the Catholic Church. It was just more to me. More truth in the Eucharist but also more tradition, more history and the fullness of faith. Thank you again! PS I’m also from NC!
Wow!
Not running from but running (or better: sliding) to - same with me 4 years ago! 😀
I was a little afraid because of not being a cradle catholic, but is has all worked out well. There is much room for such a "lutheran catholic" like me. (Only that I still wish for a chance to serve at mass...)
Beautiful. You can hear the difficulties but victories in his voice in true humility and charity. God bless you! Converts make me, a cradle Catholic, more stronger in my Faith!
Shane Page- you rock. God bless your testimony. Also, what a beauty it is that Shane couldn’t remember how he found Story of a Soul… she finds us! Saint Thérèse is doing her mission in heaven: doing good on earth for Jesus. Also beautiful how Thérèse introduced him to devotion to Mary… wow… what a glory story! I’m only 30 minutes in so far but this is great.
Our Lady pray for all of us. Amen
I must try to read Story of a Soul,as on my first try couldn't get into it.Why I not sure maybe my Soul wasn't ready❤
From veiled works to obvious works.
So precious and such a beautiful story! I literally had a huge smile on my face and felt like crying the whole time !! Please bring him and his wife back 💖
Praise be to Our Lord Jesus Christ that Shane was open to the grace that was given to him to become Catholic!
Now he needs to repent of his bad choice.

I have a good friend who is a former UMC pastor here in the Philippines. He became a Catholic on Easter Vigil 2019 together with his wife and his daughter. He is one of the many reasons why I am now interested with the Divine Worship of the Ordinariates for former Anglicans, both the Mass and the Daily Office (I'm a lifelong Catholic, btw). I can only hope many Filipinos connected to the Anglican Communion to discern Catholicism through the avenues paved by Anglicanorum Coetibus and bolster the traction of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross.
I will keep this in my prayers. I love the Filipino community!
So happy that WOF and the good Bishop got a shout out.🥰🥰🥰 Thank you, Shane! God bless your family! And thank you Pints with Aquinas! God bless your ministry.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was one of my favorite interviews! Shane helped me ( a cradle Catholic) understand and FULLY accept the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. Thanks for having him on the show!
He should really look into the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter. Most of the priests there are former Anglican/Methodist clergy and a majority of them are married. I think Mr. Page would make an excellent priest and it wouldn’t be a bad idea for him to discern that route.
Amen to that.
Yes, I totally agree with you! He’d be such an asset!
Totally agree, he would be awesome
“She prayed the Rosary and after 4 months she was a convert to the Catholic Church.”❤️
I LOVED this! I was a convert 50 years ago but only learned of the REAL presence of Jesus as the Holy Eucharist 25 years ago. Still, I was drawn into the Church...
What a beautiful inspiring conversion story! Thank you Pints with Aquinas team for this video.
I had Matt’s exact reaction as soon as Shane said “Montfort Marián consecration”. “Oh! That’s it!.Your done!” Fastest way to Christ. Oh, how the Devil hates this devotion!

"To Jesus through Mary" - great interview. I never get sick of hearing conversion stories and always learn something new. I've learnt more about my own Catholic faith from converts over the years, as well as better understanding the protestant perspective. Would love to see Shane on the Journey Home program sometime. God bless.
Love his enthusiasm and rekindles my faith and reminds me of when I first fell in love with Jesus and my Catholic faith! God bless and keeping you both in my prayers!

What an amazing story of Conversion! It just goes to show that when you truly seek the Lord, you' will find Him. Thank you to you both for this wonderful video! Thank you Shane for sharing your story! Converts like you help us grow in Faith. Thnk you and God bless you in abundance.🙏
That intro. song is so sick that I had to Shazam it. Keep that in always. It brightens my day, in addition to your videos :)
and the outro song too! both are inspiring.
Yo that line was so powerful when he talked about Mary emptying herself to be full of grace just as Jesus emptied himself. WOW
I knew it!The key was the Blessed Virgin Mary,through St Therese! With the Rosary at (55:20) !Welcome home !Deo Gratias!✝️✝️✝️Ave Maria!🌹🌹🌹
I rode my bicycle across France and got to see
St Therese basilica.
@@PInk77W1 Wow!God bless you!🌹✝️🙏
This has to be my most favorite episode on this channel. Well done!
Your program is so sorely needed…….thank you!
Wow. Such a full testimony, as in struggle, suffering, deep discernment, enlightenment, shadows…very human heart speaking here. May the Blessed Mother hold you and your family in her Immaculate Heart, may St Therese shower you with rose petals, may Mother Angelica lend you her tenacious love and determination. I’m guessing they have your back and am sure you have God’s blessing. He may want you to publish your story.
Phenominal podcast with Shane Page. I watched the whole program and was fascinated with his story. I am Catholic and saved it to share with a Methodist friend of mine. So happy for he and his wife in their journey forward with Jesus! Barbara I./NY
Love listening to ‘Gabi After Hours’..,.yes he has helped me to grow to love Our Lady even more and also to wear the Miraculous medal…
Definitely recommend watching his videos…
Great show..God bless you Shane…
ABSOLUTLY BRILLIANT SHOW! Truly BLESSED AnD BRILLIANT! What a GIFT TO THE CHURCH AND TO Hearing THIS INTERVIEW AND ALL DISCUSSED! Thank you! I am going to become a patron Matt! You and your guests feed so well!!!! And I am a cradle Catholic and love the Church.🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Fellow Southerner who converted from Methodism to Catholicism with my young family. It's been such a wonderful and fulfilling journey. Love hearing this accent, ha. Feels like home!
Methodists are inherently decent people. It's been sad watching the denomination basically collapse. The confusion and outright heresy that came to dominate my local UMC congregations really was demoralizing. Perhaps more will venture back to our true roots in Catholicism. All glory to God.
Welcome Home. 😎🙂 I love hearing conversion stories.
The second he started talking about the Consecration to Mary I saved the video and knew I'd watch it again 10 times.
Absolutely beautiful story. Your point that Mary also says “This is my body, given up for You, Jesus.” Wow! Stunning. I’ve never heard that. Thank you so much. God bless.
What a lovely man Shane really enjoyed listening to him . 🇮🇪🇮🇪
This was so great!!! 👏🏼 😍 Welcome home!
What a fabulous interview and beautiful story of the journey of conversion! Professing the reality of Mary’s role and the Eucharist is so encouraging and refreshing! Thank You and God bless you both!
Absolutely Fantastic rather TRULY AWESOME. Heard great conversion stories before but this one^s journey is UNiQUE. Thank you for bringing such joyful, enlightening so entertaining convert stories for us Catholic to hear. How GREAT GOD is to bring ^pastors^ from other denominations to join One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. WELCOME and BLESSINGS. Love your take on Immaculate Conception.
This guy is just great ... and FUNNY too! I'm impressed.
I love these stories. I’m thinking about “why?” they are so important and intriguing. One thing that comes to mind is when he was talking about receiving grace. So beautiful and so true. I’ve been so stuck on Paul’s saying about “it’s no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me”…it’s like a Christ takeover, but only when you can totally submit. Words can’t even describe that because it sounds almost fake. Grace…just outstanding.
This was just fabulous! I hope Shane does start his own podcast, would love for him to impart his wisdom and commentary on scripture. Keep preaching brother.
❤
I love GabiAfterHours and TrueFaithTalks/ TrueFaithTV! I listened to that episode of his podcast (Children of Mary podcast) and when I saw that Matt's episode is about a Methodist Pastor converting to Catholicism, I thought "Could this be the same pastor that Gabi referred to? The same one who got him some equipment for his podcast?" Amazing!
I was literally thinking the same thing! God is so good, thank you Mary!🙏
Love Gabi too. Trying to catch up on his podcasts. Which episode was that?
@@philotheake I believe the video was on his TrueFaith Talks channel, Children of Mary Podcast, "Divine Providence" where they talk about St. Dominic and The Rosary. 😊
@@shaquelmariano4239 Thanks. Will check it out.
Excellent interview Matt; how wonderful to hear the grace of God continually urging step by step regardless of doubts to embrace Jesus completely.
Wow, great show! I’ve been Catholic all my life-I’ve definitely grown and appreciate my Faith much more in my later years. This video gave me such a perspective on Protestants that I’ve never been able to understand. I’ve never been able to understand how one can stay out in something that isn’t truth. I think this is a gift our Lord has given me to soften myself a bit when it comes to evangelizing. God bless!
Totally agree!!!!!
This discussion has been riveting. One of the best conversion stories I've heard on RUclips.
This guy is great. He does have a gift for speaking. I'm glad he's on the team. I'm also glad to have learned about our Methodist brothers too!
