      It doesn’t matter if you are Protestant, you also need to know the truth you’re looking for. You are Christian which means you’re potentially Catholic.

      We are one family in Christ rooted in the Lord Jesus. He died for us. We live for Him. There is only one church. All the divisions, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, various Protestant divisions, they do not stand before God. He tore down the dividing wall. Now there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father who is above all and through all and in all. May we all turn to Him that we might know Him and be fully known by Him. He will make our paths straight. Much love to all the family of God. May we all forsake all that we might gain Christ and be found in Him.​@@xiomarablanco5598

    Let's not forget that New Testament as it is today was formulated by him. There were other listings from other bishops which sometimes included the unrecognized books (Gospel of Nicodemus, Gospel of Thomas etc), but as the NT is ordered now (The Four Gospels, followed by Acts, and the Epistles) was done by St. Athanasius.
    Even MORE of a Christian hero than stated here. Seriously, his contribution to the faith cannot be understated.

They are the ones that knew how to defend our Lords’ teaching out of love for Him and his Church. Thank you for sharing your input with us. We all need to be informed and formed about our Catholic Faith and his valuable members who are the ones who sustains the Church. We need to value the treasure of our beloved Catholic Church. Once we know her better, we’ll love her and serve her better as these heroes and saints did. 🙏♥️🙏
