Protestant considering catholicism here. I live with my anti Catholic parents and I want to till them i want to be Catholic. I want to tell them the peace i feel every time I pray the rosery. I don't actually own a rosery i just do the prayers. Please pray for me to have courage to tell them
Praying for you!
🙏❤️💐
Quick prayer to help you get there.
May the Holy Spirit continue to bless you and guide you to the right path and Christ’s true & universal church, the Catholic Church. Place all your trust in the Blessed Mother as She will take you to Her Son, Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Everything else will fall into place once you’re “home.” I also learned from Father Jim Blount this simple prayer but very beautiful and effective: “Oh Jesus, I surrender myself (or anything or anybody) to You, take care of everything.” Say this at least a few times or use the rosary beads and say the Glory Be after each decade. I’ve found this prayer simple yet quite miraculous. Hope this helps ❤
Be patient and loving in all that is slung at you. You may be the sign your parents need to soften their hearts to the Church.
My son, when he was only 9, after just going to confession told me, "I feel so light, Dad. like I'm walking on clouds, Dad!"
❤❤❤
💕💕💕
Aww 🥺 this is exactly what I said after my first confession when I got confirmed as a 28 year old. This is a beautiful way to live and I’m happy for your son that he gets to grow up with it
When I came to t 12:45 he USA in 1951 @age 9-1/2 from Italy, in the
beginning I felt most comfortable and at home in a Catholic church. I
followed Holy Mass with my Italian-Latin Missal, and I said or sang the responses in Latin.
As I grew and learned English I still took my bilingual Missal to church until Holy
Mass was celebrated all in English. This past decade I've been attending a local parish where I've been singing in the
choir. The pastor likes for the choir to sing, on and off, parts of the Mass in Latin. At Christmas Midnight Mass, we sing carols and at
Communion in seven languages total. Everybody
feels at home, and I'm reminded of my
childhood faith
experience. At 84 yrs.of age I thank
God for my Catholic faith.
Make sure he is ok , never leave him alone with s priest EVER
I’m catholic from Poland… thanks for reminding me why it is a blessing to be a catholic.
I was raised protestant, but was always drawn to the Catholic church. Four years ago I became Catholic and last Easter 2023 my wife and my daughter became Catholic. We wish we would’ve done it 40 years ago. one of the sacraments I’m drawn to is anointing of the sick and someday, when I’m on my deathbed I hope to receive last rites. I love being Catholic.
Nobody who understands the Bible becomes Catholic.
God bless you 🙏🏻
I was born a Catholic, but I left 42 years ago, but I missed many of the teachings, especially the Eucharistic sacrament. I returned to the Catholic Church two months and I feel that I am back home again.
Welcome home 🎉
Welcome to Catholic church. God bless you.
G.R.Wilson, from India.
God bless you!
I’ve returned after 30 years. Praise God!!!!
Welcome home George.
me too. Only it has been over 50 years for me. I married a non-Catholic. (I was young)
Hi Doctor i really love your story.I belong to an ethnic group here in Kiamba,Province of Sarangani in Southern Mindanao,Philippines. We call our group The Tboli Tribe.Most of us are pagans until now. Thanks be to God I was baptized by a Catholic priest way back 1996. Am now a Catholic evangelizer among my tribe. Praised God.
BEAUTIFUL Testimony... God bless your journey of faith... From PAPUA NEW GUINEA
God bless u brother and all of you in the tribe who are our bros & sis in Christ. Only Catholic says that redemption is all inclusive, no judgement unlike other sects who claims that only them are saved or worse that they are brainwashed to persecute & kill Christians (who are they to say that & what kind of God is that ?). Our God is not like that even to non-believers ...
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was raised in the Protestant church, married a Catholic who adamantly would not attend any other church, I saw his devotion to his faith, I saw his mothers devotion to the church even when they did not attend on a weekly basis. Moreover I saw the faithfulness over the years of other parishioners. I was always amazed to see the same faces week after week, year after year. Even when there were times I had missed mass several weeks in a row, they were there every Sunday. I became a Catholic six years after we were married (that was 50 years ago). I wasn’t a perfect Catholic for all those years and I’m not perfect now but my faith has continued to deepen. The more I studied the Catholic faith, the more I was impressed and awed, every day I discover something more that deepens my faith and devotion to being a Catholic. Some religions can’t stand up to scrutiny, Catholicism becomes more impressive the more you know about it. Some of the prayers date back hundreds of years and of course the more I read the Bible, the more I see our faith as the true faith. God bless you in your work and God bless each person who reads this, because it means you are reaching for Jesus.
Amen 🙏

I'd like to see if Dr. Marshall can (honestly) arrive at "10 reasons" why he should REMAIN Catholic!
For surely the decision of the Holy Patriarch to dump the filthy, heretic pope was at the suggestion of the Blessed Virgin, given her many warnings over the years about Roman rot!😢
Amen
I’m sorry for anyone who has been affected by the leadership of the Roman Catholic church. Please study God’s word for yourself. When you learn the truth, you will understand that Peter is not the Rock. Christ is the Rock 1 Corinthians 3:11. Please study.
-------------
• Adding doctrines is apostasy and it’s forbidden. *Deuteronomy 4:2*, *Galatians 1:6-7*
****Mark 7:7****
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
-------------
• There aren’t any officiating new covenant priests. We have a new ministry in the new covenant. *Ephesians 4:11*
• God does not show favoritism *Romans 2:11* -- there is no evidence in the scriptures that the church was built on a human. We do not have a human pope to guide us. We are led by the Spirit. *Acts 1:5*
-------------
• The scriptures show no differences in the apostles.
****Equality amongst the apostles****
“Ye are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” (****Ephesians 2:20****)
“And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” (****Revelation 21:14****).
• Peter was no different than the others.
-------------
• Mary nor the saints can hear prayers. There’s only one mediator in heaven between God & Man.
*1 Timothy 2:5* For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
-------------
• All Christians are saints.
*Philippians 1:1* Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
-------------
• All Christians are priests.
*1 Peter 2:5* Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
-------------
• The doctrine of original sin is not biblical or found in the scriptures at all.
*Ezekiel 18:20* The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
-------------
Every Christian is supposed to study and read the Bible for themselves. *Acts 17:11*
*Ephesians 3:4* As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ.
*Psalm 119:15* I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways.
-------------
• In order to receive salvation, we must all repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. We need no Eucharist, no veneration of Mary, no long list of good works, no baptism regeneration, no sacrament of reconciliation, no rosary, no pope, no papacy, no belief in Peter as the Rock 1 Corinthians 3:11, no man-made doctrine, no priests, no infallible magisterium, no Vatican, no communion of saints, no catechisms, no Marian dogmas, no transubstantiation, but only by faith through grace are we saved.
****Ephesians 2:8**** "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".
@@redbird9000 . Wrong. Roman Catholicism has answered this type of bible-thumper objection for centuries. You should know better. Or maybe u r just dishonest.
I am not Catholic, but I love your videos and you are drawing me to the Catholic faith every day. Thank you!
You will never regret it 😊
@andrewhatton1606 how did you become Catholic? What did you do to make that happen?
Just do it! You'll fall in love with the one & only divine church that Jesus set diwn for us!
@@jeanieshafer9714 nice try
God will speak to you when you want to convert.
I recently came back to the Church. I was raised Catholic and fell away for 50 years. The calling was irresistible and constant. You have presented every point that I now embrace and cherish.
Me too if I would go to mass each day if I could drive. 6 years ago I had kidney cancer and the meds my doctors will not let me drive. God bless you.
I want my sisters to come back home to their faith. What is the main part that brought you back? Is there anything I can do to help bring them home.
Praise Jesus!
I came back after 30 years. I had wilderness years of disbelief and skepticism. A few years ago I came back to belief, and had been nominally Methodist for the last 10. It was a conservative church, and love the people I left behind, but felt that call to home. The priest of my local parish said I needed to really think about my confession. Saying “I didn’t murder anyone but you can check a yes to the rest” wasn’t going to suffice for a confession, but did he laugh. It has been great! I am glad to be back home for all the reasons above.

🕵️Catholic church has many false doctrines.
When I first attended a Mass I was not Catholic. I came in to the Church last and sat at the back. All the people were kneeling and praying and were very reverent. I had not experienced that level of Reverence in my lifetime and I decided that I wanted to be a part of it!
I hold on tight
to my faith, as a catholic, diagnosed with lung cancer8 yrs ago, i believe ,i trust, i surrender ,i survive in His Glory,Oh,! Lord ! Oh! My God.
.
...
Just remember every time that we kneeling, pray and make reverence is in honor of the Sovereign Lord as he servants❤
same for me!

I'm a revert. Born and baptized catholic, after high school, I was a non-practicing (catholic in name only) and 30 yrs later came back home. The Eucharist is what brought me back. So that would be my #1 reason for being catholic, then confession and the saints(stories), and also the reverence of the mass. ❤️💕
They say there's no conversion without Holy Mary ❤. I wonder if that's true.

I am a cradle catholic. 90 years. I always said I would NEVER leave,but I did when going along with Vat 2. For 22 years I am back home, Thank God.

Catholic Faith Forever and Ever ! Viva Cristo Rey !👍💪🙏⛪
Currently in RCIA. I can’t wait to be baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Church. I was raised Baptist but by middle school no one in my family was strong in faith and going to church was never a big deal. We became more and more secular and liberal. My dad thinks all religion is evil at this point. It took a long way to come back to Jesus but without all that I wouldn’t come to know the fullness of Catholicism.
Welcome home!
Thus saith the Lord GOD: REPENT, ABD TURN YOURSELVES FROM YOUR IDOLS; AND TURN AWAY YOUR FACES FROM ALL YOUR ABOMINATION. - EZEKIEL 14:6
"The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the womwn knead their dough, to make CAKES to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. DO THEY PROVOKE ME TO ANGER? SAITH THE LORD: DO THEY NOT PROVOKE THEMSELVES TO THE CONFUSION OF THEIR OWN FACES?... lo, THEY HAVE REJECTED THE WORD OF THE LORD ; AND WHAT WISDOM US IN THEM?Jeremiah 7:18-19; 8:9
You should watch Christopher Hitchens destroy Catholicism. If your father thinks religion is evil, he has some point. The Catholic Church has been and is still responsible for so much evil, condoning evil and hiding it. I would consider you don’t join the church. Only Jesus Christ can save you my brother. Not a church.
Welcome, Celestial, I'm with the RCIA in my parish. It's always great to have new members that are coming home to the Catholic Church from protestant churches.
I converted to Catholicism from years as a Protester. What changed for me was, rather than seeking emotion in the church, Mass is solemn and powerful communion with God.
I am a proud Catholic, a church lector for almost 40 years and most of all a Filipino. I live in the only Christian Country in Southeast Asia where are famous for resiliency. We've withstood wars, typhoons, floods and earthquakes with nothing but our faith to hold on to. And I am very grateful for that. Amen
I was baptized Catholic as an infant but immediately raised protestant until I turned 23 in 2019. Returning to my Catholic roots was the best decision of my life.
Congrate to you!

I am a Protestant/Catholic convert, just like you Dr. Marshall, being officially welcomed into the Catholic Church Easter Vigil 2023. My husband and i postponed our secular wedding at a hall, to be married in the Catholic Church before God. My favorite things about being Catholic are #1. The Authority of Catholic Priests & safety under the catholic umbrella. #2. Mary as our Holy Mother and #3 Reverence & History of the Catholic Church. My husband and I purchased our first home on Eastern Long Island and a few months later had to move out. We ripped out the floors, the kitchen our house was down to bare plywood and after months of Chaos we finally had out home blessed by a Catholic Priest, and all the issues instantly lingered away like blowing out a candle. (I am sure you can read between the lines) Hence my Catholic Conversion. #2. I found such solitude from our Lady who tugged at my heart the first time I ever met a Catholic Priest (at the original house blessing, before all the Pope Leo’s) And have received direct help and protection from our Lady as well. 3. Coming from a Protestant church, a comedy show between cover bands, i found such beauty in the reverence, genuflecting, humility, tradition and history of the one true church. When our souls witness and testify to truth, there is no turning back. Thank you for standing up for righteousness and keep standing firm in our faith. Light and Love in the Lord.
So beautifully said.
🕵️Catholic history cannot substantiate Catholics' claim of having Jesus as their founder.

I am a relatively new catholic- I converted in 2022. I love being catholic because Christ founded this Faith, The Eucharist, Our Lady, The Saints, the sense that I am not lost anymore, I have a home!

I'm in the process of becoming Catholic and loving every step so far. I've bounced around in protestant non denominational churches and always felt like it's just a 45 minute soft rock concert with really bad music. I love the path of Catholicism. I'm praying the Rosary every day, and have had some deep, transcendental experiences with it where I completely lose myself for minutes at a time. I'm soaking up every bit of knowledge I can. I love the Catholic mass and am already making new friends at my Parish. This feel like home to me and has set me on fire for The Lord. I've been really enjoying your podcast. Thanks so much!
I love being Catholic, and it's such a great blessing because first before saying anything to God, we start with the sign of cross " in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit which is extremely important. One can't just start praying without recognizing the Holy Trinity, the same reason why Jesus died on the cross. It's a great blessing to recognize how spiritual rich we are. We also have a direction in everything we do worldwide.

I, too, am a Catholic convert. Once your eyes are open, you can't unsee. I've been ostersized from my entire family, but I'd never turn back.
👆 I have the opposite story.
Nun was viciously violent to sibling for small infraction.
Priest that I confessed to gave me the major creeps. I felt dirty after being in a dark closet with him. Prayers said afterwards didn’t “fix” anything.
Had 1 appointment with same priest at the insistence of my parents, because I didn’t want to go to church anymore.
He questioned me, then didn’t believe my answers. He was cold, cruel and apparently wanted me to feel ashamed. What I felt was shocked, afraid, confused and indignant. As soon as I was 18,
I permanently left.
Later this same priest was “credibly accused” and found Guilty of sexually abusing 4 Boys. He never spent a day in jail.
He’s not on “pedophile” register. He still lives in the same area. His victims received $ettlements.
He was removed from priesthood.
I wonder how many people he hurt
sexually, emotionally and spiritually during his “religious career” ?
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Demons found a HOME in the Roman religion where SINS and Deception abound.
DON’T trust the UN-trustworthy.
Been Catholic all my life. Being Catholic is tough, it's not easy. How many times per day do I break one, or some, of the 10 Commandments? It's a struggle to remain continually within those 10 Commandments. We cannot do this alone that's why we badly need God and His help.
It’s very hard being a Christian! I’m a non catholic Christian and I’ve broken a few of the commandments too! I’m a sinner and I admit it! May God help you and I !
Being Orthodox is even harder.

I was born and raised Catholic. Left the church in my late teens. Explored all churches and even went to Muslim mosques. Explored atheism. Came BACK to the Catholic Church realizing the true beauty of Catholicism.
I absolutely love and agree with your ten reasons. I am a cradle Catholic. The problem with some of us cradles is that, we get stuck in the cradle and when challenged by Non-Catholics, we can't defend ourselves or our faith. One of my favorite things about Catholicism, is the Lenten experience.
Thanks for your beautiful presentation. God bless you.
When I was a Presbyterian I was very anti Catholic, . But walking by the Catholic Church on the way to my Grandma's house I always had this feeling of comfort the closer I got to the church. Fast forward to after I got married and my son being born, late in the night when my son would need a feeding, I'd feed him while I looked for something to watch on TV. Stumbled on EWTN, and decided to watch. I got glued to it, and within a year I went to RCIA, after which I picked Saint Thomas More as my Patron Saint (since there are no Patron Saints for Meteorologists like I am),
You could have had Saint Medard! But Thomas More is a good choice.

I was away from being a Catholic for half my life and was very lost. I came back to the church and found what I lost. I love being Catholic for all the reasons you stated, Dr. Marshall
When I was younger I used to think that being saved by faith alone was sufficient and made the most sense. But as I've grown older and crossed the age of 30 I've realized the value that acts, tradition, and the Church actually bring. I also like the penence and fasting that is required. Being forced to do unpleasant things that are good for you is something more people should do.
As a born-again Catholic, my heart is on fire when I hear someone speaking highly of our Blessed Mother. She led me out of darkness to Christ to save my marriage. She taught me to pray the Rosary from the heart and to do the Divine Mercy as a detox program to purify me from the promiscuous life I led before my conversion 16 years ago. I do love going to Confession and Eucharistic Adoration to sustain my conversion. The Holy Family is the model that I flee to when I struggle with family issues. God bless your ministry Dr. Marshall.
I was brought up Catholic and then did the whole Protestant slide.. Now I am back home as a Catholic. I love the way I was brought up as a child, with my Grandparents and parents taking me to mass every Sunday. I love that I am adoring the Lord the same way as they did.. it makes me feel really connected with them since they have passed.
I also love our conservative traditions. I kind of felt like the whole Protestant movement has become so progressive that it doesn't feel like we were really worshiping the Lord the way I believe he truly wants to be. I have been veiling every time I pray or go to mass. I love that I can submit to God and devote myself to Him the way he desires and has been calling me.
Thank you for all the wonderful videos you are putting out. This is one of my most favorite channels to watch. God bless you!
It is a good time to be Catholic. You are a good addition to the Catholic Church. May our Lord keep you close to his heart God bless you and your family.
I left the church and came back 7 years ago. Best decision in my life. Thank you Jesus for such a beautiful church.
What triggerred you to go back? Did it happen in an instant?
Irish sisters at a Canadian orphanage took care of me for the first 6 months of my life. I am and will be forever grateful to them and burn a candle for their souls in most churches I attend That is just the beginning of why I’m Catholic
My tears fall upon me when i confess then feel the Grace of God .
Ok so Im not a Catholic but Id like to say a couple of things I appreciate about the Catholic Church.
1. The willingness to understand that there are other ways to apprehend the divine other than just the intellect, (whilst of course having a strong intellectual tradition.)
2. A sense of beauty and its place in worship.
3. JP2s Theology of The Body.
And a bonus one, I have great respect for their tireless work in the pro life movement.
It's always a pleasure to hear my religion spoken of kindly by non-believers, so thank you for your gracious words. I pray you come to Christ in the fullness of His Wisdom.
Littleboots9800, thank you for expressing yourself in a respectful manner. And you are a perfect example that a pro-life stance goes beyond Catholic teachings. May God continue to bless you!
It is not actually you appreciate few catholic church's goodness but it is God who inspired you to like what God is doing through Catholic church...I really appreciate your blessed words...may we all be blessed in Jesus's name...God bless...
it's your ticket to heaven lst flight...
@@sovereigndayyouthkafir3943 Its my pleasure, credit where credit is due! I have indeed come to Christ, after a long and complicated journey I finally got baptised in October just gone. It was on the Feast of Saint Luke, which was appropriate as my church is Saint Lukes so it was our patronal saints day.
I’m a Catholic and I LOVE serving the Mass as an altar boy, love the tradition, and love the family values
I am from the Phil...and Filipinos are 90 percent catholics...Just like you...i love to be a cathoic..your 10 reasons are valid....And 1 reason for me is that we are taught that salvation is not only for individual but a community..salvation for all...
I agree with you. I was raised German Lutheran but converted when I was 36 and I am 82.
I'm A Filipino and Proud Catholic Christian!
What I like for being Catholic is for the Institution is Universal! I attended a.Mass in South Korea and even though the mass was celebrated in local language, I can still participate and celebrate the mass with the locals!!!

For surely the decision of the Holy Patriarch to dump the filthy, heretic pope was at the suggestion of the Blessed Virgin, given her many warnings over the years about Roman rot!😢

🕵️ Says the Scriptures. The church of Ephesus, Corinth, Thessalonica, Colossae, Berea, etc. were not governed by the church of Rome. All churches were working independently in its locality. There wasn't even a pope in the Scriptures.
Top 3 things that I like being a Catholic:
1. Moving history- makes you feel like being a part of Christ's continuing story on earth.
2. Devotions - it's taking advantage of the things Jesus and the saints have given us to be closer to God.
3. Music - I serve our church choir, and I really love Catholic music, the songs and hymns we sing during mass is just 💯.
God Bless you all.
I am korean. I totally agree with you. Thank you for your talking. May God bless you.
I'm not a Catholic... yet. I'm praying that my husband will come to the idea of converting to Catholicism, soon! ❤
Update:
We went to mass for the first time on Christmas morning!! Can't wait to go back this Sunday!!

"We have A GREAT HIGH PRIEST, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities: but WAS IN ALL POINTS TEMPTED LIKE AS WE ARE, YET WITHOUT SIN. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

One of your best videos. It also reminds us way we also love being Catholics. Thank You.
I am in the middle of a spiritual awakening. I was an atheist most of my life but recently I feel a pulling, a calling to become a Catholic.
I have been attending mass and looking into classes.
I have never felt like this.
May the Lord continue to draw you to the Catholic church. It's the true church founded by Jesus 2000 years ago. 😊
I usually get so emotional during Eucharistic prayers. I used to feel bored long time ago, but when I studied and understood what mass is, I get so overwhelmed and at the same time so happy.
I love being a Catholic for many reasons. One of the reasons is also that when I go to Mass, I can later have a conversation about the Mass with my children who live in other states. No matter where you go to Mass, you know you are hearing God's word, and it is the same at all Masses that day.
Very Interesting and that is the truth unified word of God delivered to the universal Family... We have our daily bread the same world wide
❤ Love being Catholic,its been 16 years and thanks be to GOD,my sister became Catholic this year i was her sponsor and godmother to both her children,i pray we continue to all be proud on our journey to be good Catholic,so happy love all 10 reasons🎉

I too pray the rosary b4 going to bed and i made the rosary myself.😊 then i attend sunday mass and after the mass i show it the priest and ask him to bless it. And now i always have my rosary in my pocket or in my purse whenever i go. 🇵🇭
I'm Catholic and I haven't been to confessions in years 😢 I'm terrified. I used to always go with my family but on the last two times I had priests who were extremely horrible, were one actually left me in tears. I've been praying for the courage to go back again before Easter Sunday 🙏
I'm praying specifically for you to have the courage to go to confession. I'm sorry you experienced that.
I'm not Catholic but am increasingly drawn to it (already pray the rosary, grace, and the st michael prayer) for many of these reasons (especially Mary, the solemnity of the mass, and the historical roots).
There's a beauty to it that nothing else has (although Orthodoxy is very close, and some echoes remain in Anglo-Catholic).
God is poetic.
Take the plunge you will not regret it one but. I love the Catholic faith, I fell away for many years became Lutheran at one point but thank God he brought me back home.
I agree that the Church holds a beauty none other possesses, and I pray you take the brave step into the Rite of Cristian Initiation for Adults in the near future. Find and make friends with someone in the church you go to and ask him or her to become your sponsor. I pray for your reception of the Catholic sacraments in the Name of Jesus.
We hope that you join the Catholic Church. May God Bless you always.

🕵️It may be beauty in your perspective but as far as the Scripture is concerned, it's a ton of false doctrines.
I’m not a Catholic, I’m an Anglican, Church of England ordained Priest. This really was a very inspiring, warm, welcoming, and joyful video. Thank you Dr Marshall. I’ve been looking closely at the Catholic Church for the last 4-5 years, even having personal conversations with someone from The Journey Home Network. If I am honest Dr Marshall, the number one reason I have not become Catholic is that I am fearful. Fearful because I stand before a Holy God as a sinner, and I am fearful of making the wrong decision. Over these last few years I have read so much from some of the most incredible Catholic theologians that I have ever come across, listened to countless hours of debates. One minute I sense I am getting closer to becoming Catholic, and then I hear good Protestant arguments and I pull back. It’s not as if I am worried about loosing my job, as I am currently living in the Middle East due to my wife’s work. But I am fearful of going against a Holy God. So much more I could say, but not here. If anyone comments, please don’t say, “Come home” because right now I do not know where home is. God bless you and your family Dr Marshall
Many many years ago when l was in a similar position, a wise Catholic priest said the following to me: Do you know why you are wanting to become a Catholic? Is it because you believe the Catholic Church is the true church? In fact there can be only one reason - knowing that this is what God wants you to do. So please go and ask Him in prayer. If His answer is yes, l shall willingly prepare you.
I have never forgotten this sympathetic and faithful priest, and remain ever grateful to him for his direct and wise advice.
The harshest rebuke Jesus gave was to the religious!
@@EPH-re2xj no, its to the hypocrites.
@@pemcortes9467 how do you who follows tradition, receive eternal life?
Because over the past seven thousand years, by revealing Himself to us in His fatherly love, God has been teaching us how to spend eternity with Him, through coherent and historically documented facts, experienced and confirmed by millions of souls who continue to help us get to Heaven. The bridge to eternal life is Jesus Christ Son of God. The road map is the Magisterium. The vehicle is the Catholic Church. @@EPH-re2xj
So proud of you. You have been 'converted' Catholic for 17 years and you ' wipe' the floor with a lot of Catholics that we have been Catholics since birth.

Thankyou for your Catholic Faith Inspiration, Thankyou Lord...
What a WONDERFUL presentation of the reality of the Holy Mass, Dr. Marshall!
One of the hardest thing of being Catholic is FORGIVING those who have hurt you
Why is forgiveness difficult for a catholic?
It’s not hard once you have done it for a while.
Forgiveness is difficult for all human beings.
@@mariamartin94I think it's definitely not easy in both directions. Looking at the Lord's prayer....as many times as those words have been said there's the fact that to forgive and to ask for forgiveness is not that easy especially when the other person is simply not around anymore to ask. Any thoughts on this?
Yes it can be but Jesus said to Forgive them as God forgives us. Too According to Matthew 6:14-15, a person who doesn't forgive others will not be forgiven by God. In the verses, Jesus states: "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."
We are ALL sinners and in need of forgiveness.
Thank you! From Spain, as Catholicism is the most common religion historically, it has been very interesting understanding these differences with other Christian beliefs. Today, much less people practice or even believe, but there are also new movements to bring it back.
Dr Marshall,
Listening to you helps me appreciate my faith as I am a cradle Catholic and never heard anyone talking about the reasons for being Catholic via a personal testimony. Thanks for sharing your reasons. They help me appreciate and realize I'm in the right place.
three things I like about being a Catholic: Our doctrines, the sacraments, and the timeless traditions.
I love being a Catholic. I appreciate this video Dr. T. God bless your work.
I am a Catholic and I know that I belong to the True Church that Jesus founded.The beauty of our faith draws me closer to God.The mass,the rosary and Mama Mary,the saints and their lives inspire more and strengthen my spirituality.

I love the sound of the church bells reminding me to hurry up so as not to be late for Mass.(I live in Mexico).
I feel you sister..
Thank you for this wonderful video. I can fully identify with most of the 10 reasons.
“We’re not one of the many religions, we’re the only one true religion which God commanded to all people to believe,” Bishop Schneider told EWTN’s Alexey Gotovskiy in Nur-Sultan, the nation’s capital. “There is no other way to salvation.”
Wonderful testimony about being a Catholic! I will forward to everyone I know!
What a privilege and blessing to have you as a spokesman of the true Church! Thank you and Gid continue to bless you and your family!
10:48 Thank you so much for this! I think a lot of non-Catholics miss the boat on this one. Worship at the foot of the Cross is an elevated state of mind not an emotion.
1) The Communion of Saints
2) The Mass & the rosary
3) Hearing wonderful stories of conversions to the Catholic faith :)
62 yrs and going strong.
Pray, hope & don't worry!
Love adoration
I can go to mass anywhere in the world & follow everything even though I might not understand the language. The readings are the same.
The many ways I can serve in the church. That’s in addition to what you have beautifully described. Grateful to God for such a beautiful gift
Hi. I am a cradle Catholic. I love everything about being Catholic. All your reasons for sure. The thought of receiving the Eucharist still excites me and I’m 75. Life has been very hard but I’ve never felt lonely and everything bad passes (sometimes slowly). I am very sad over what is happening in the church in Ireland now. That’s where I’m from. I live in Canada which is a real mess. But I am full of hope. I’ve been a teacher all my life, just retired January of 2023. It was particularly hard to not be able to talk about God in public schools. Children are so drawn to God and want to know about Him. I was fortunate to spend the last years of my career in a small First Nations School and when one of us was in need of prayer at work, there was always a teacher (not practicing Catholic), sometimes me, who would lift us up in prayer. I’m a traveller and loved feeling at home in churches globally. Thanks for doing your podcasts.
I listened to this podcast while driving home. I so loved this. After I got home I asked all my family to the living room and we all watched it together. Children who are older teenagers listened from start to finish without their typical side comments. Thank you so much for this wonderful survey on why our Holy Church is the best gift God gave us. All best to you, Mr. Marshall and your family!
Jesus set me free not from sinning but from condemnation guilt and shame. Praise your Holy name Jesus and mum 🙏
I'm so glad I've found you. You help me understand so much. I was Catholic and was hungry for more and went non-denomination for years but I'm truly a Catholic at heart. I pray my Rosary and get lots of negative feedback from my Protestant friends and family but watching your videos gives me ammunition as to how to replay to their criticism. God placed me here to watch you and I will definitely subscribe
I became Catholic last year. I was a Seventh-day Adventist. My favorite part of Catholicism is the emphasis on the sacrament of Holy Communion. I also like Lent and Advent and the recognition of angels and saints. Lastly, I enjoy the liturgy of the word and I read the daily readings from the USSCB website and on LatinMassHelper. I am conservative but I attend both novus ordo and latin mass.
Never been to mass nor confession. On my three year research journey the Catholic Faith truly is the Truth. And since I came to that conclusion the one thing I’m most excited for is confession. And now that I’m typing this any time in the past I thought about the worst of my sins the image of typical movie confession always enter my brain. I’m still anxious and kind of scared to even go to mass because that would be officially Acknowledging that this is all real and not just a simple belief. So I found your answer to be really refreshing thank you.
It will be just fine...♡
So what Jesus did on the cross was worth nothing?
Don’t frustrate Grace!
Congratulations I'm so happy you found the truth
Don't be afraid of mass. Mass is the most significant event you can attend in your entire life. It is THE epitome of greatness and holiness on earth. If you have never been to confession, make an appointment with a priest, tell him you have never confessed and would like to make a general/universal confession and he will walk you through it. You will feel so cleansed. May God bless you in your Catholic journey!
I highly recommend beginning to pray the rosary every day. All doubts and fears will dissipate through an abundance of graces.
Love this video and my Catholic faith!! Thank you for such a positive video!
3 things I like being a catholic are: praying the rosary, devotion to mama mary and the holy mass, all of which has helped me keep my faith in Jesus and the Father all my life. 🙏❤️
A year ago I joined the Catholic Church. After 25 years without a church, this makes me happy every day. The reasons mentioned by Taylor Marshall were also my reasons for becoming Catholic. But I couldn't have expressed it so well. So thank you very much.
Confession truly is the most stressful and satisfying thing.
I'm always stressed about how gross I've been. I worry I'm going to make a crappy Confession and get chewed out for it.
Nothing bad has ever happened. But every time I get done in Confession and finish my penance I feel as good as I ever feel. Being that I go to confession before Mass, it truly makes the Eucharist taste that much sweeter to do so in a state of grace.
Confession is blasphemy …. What do you believe Jesus died for?
Confession is great ...Don't knock it til you try it
manny What G K Chesterton loved most of all about his inversion to Catholicism was the gift of Confession. The priest is there “in persona Christi” by Jesus’ plan. No matter that he be a sinner himself, trust that he represents Jesus. When Jesus instituted the Sacrament he advised, whose sins you shall forgive will be forgiven you . Whose sins you shall retain shall be retained. St John Visnney 17:52 and Padre Pio we’re notable as confessors. Typically you feel quite tense as you go to confession and ponder your sins. Once you’ve confessed, you are so happy that you did as though a burden has been lifted off your back.
@@johnholmes9801 for the saved believer their sins were all forgiven at the cross.

And to have Hope that one day I will see God face to face and share in
As a non-denominational Christian (most people would just put us with Protestants), I really appreciated this video. It gave me a deeper understanding to Catholicism and while I don't intend on becoming Catholic, I do want to learn more about it.

Unlike you, I was coming from a godless, communist family where there was neither order nor love. My conversion to the Catholic Faith was the best moment of my life.
Thank you for your video. I have been a Catholic all my life but it is always good to be reminded of Why I am Catholic. Being Catholic is always a treasure beyond treasures! I am glad you put on what you don't like about the Catholic Church and I must agree...but all families have some bad participants...Jesus own Apostles had a traitor in Judas. If you review our brothers and sisters in other faiths, you will find a pile of scandals and traitors too, they just won't admit it...we are all imperfect and that is what I tell my kids about the imperfections of our members of the Catholic past. God Bless you and keep telling it like it is.

I respect you and your honesty, especially with the last darker point you made at the end. God bless you.

Jesus showed us that there will be wolves in sheeps clothings. Look at Judas. Jesus picked him for a reason. I'm sure Jesus would've loved it had judas Escariot asked for forgiveness instead of losing hope in God, but Judas made that choice out of his own free will. Just like any priests that have lost their way. They have free will and because they belong(ed) to the Catholic Church doesn't mean they're perfect. Many will infiltrate the Church because of the fact that It Is The One True Church. Otherwise, the devil would've left Her alone. The Catholic Church is the oldest church in history and still taking all the bombardment from all sides, and yet She still stands. That can only be God's hands holding Her.🕊❤️💙✝️💒🙏
1) I love that the Catholic Church is the body of Christ and I am part of it
2) I love that the Church gives me spiritual pathways to Christ and his truth: Baptism, Confirmation, penance, Eucharist, Rosary, etc

About number 8, every day all catholics around the world read and meditate the same portion of the Bible, that giver a sense of unity. I can chat with my friend living in the other side of the planet and comment the gospel of the day! It is beautiful to me
Thank you dr.
I love being a Catholic of the real presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist!
Praise Him!
Great list, Dr. M! I'm a cradle Catholic, but I'm a revert. I call the TLM my holy tether. Not only the mass, but the congregation has taught me so much I never learned in all my years at parochial school.
I grew up with daily all school Masses every day of the week. What a beautiful way to start the school day as low Mass is quite brief but reverent actorShia Lebauef fell in love with simple low Mass. ei
I converted just 1 year and 8 months ago. All these same reasons. I love confession! It liberates us from our past. And all the other 9 things you mentioned. I chose St. Thomas Becket for his courage. We have SO MUCH that protestants and evangelicals can't even imagine! It's like having a first class cabin on the ship to salvation. I was drawn to the Church for 20 years before my conversion at age 60. I've had 2 wives, a mother, one beloved Episcopal Priest and one long term girl friend and they all forbid me or discouraged me from converting. Obviously the devil holding me back. My only regret is not doing it when I was young. Thank you for putting this into words for me.
I love that line. A first class cabin on the ship of Salvation. Really great.
Are you saying that it's the confession that made you decide to convert into a Catholic? As simple as that?
I love catholic because our Lord started it.I love the Sacraments and the Holy Eucharist.

My top three reasons for being a Catholic? The Eucharist! The Eucharist! The Eucharist! NOT to be found ANYWHERE else. 💕💕
i like that we have a section of mass where we bless each other in mass, I like the fact doctorines don't change quickly, and our readiness to help eachother.
I was away from the church for 15 years. I had wandered far. But God continued to call me back to him. I had a glorious journey back after exploring several Protestant I churches. I
prayed hard for God to show me where I belonged. The Queen of peace came to me
Latin Mass unifies us also. Catholics relate further by the prayer language and Sunday liturgy and church calender. Dont forget those amazing feast days amoung those sorrowful fasting days. Recently our parish celebrated the church triumphant and saints on all saints day and the children enjoyed dressing up as a saint and sharing facts for us all to guess who they were. So much good wholesome fun. Then morningtea and fellowshi. But we gather first and foremost for the sacraments of holy confession, Mass and Benediction beforehand
I believe all masses unify us since the same Epistle and Gospel and flow of the Mass from credo, asking for mercy, glory, offertory and Consecration are the same at every Mass in any place. When I went to a Mass in different language on vacation the local variances were there, but I could follow along as if it were in English. That to me is universality.
@@sheilasamuels1066The readings at the Traditional Latin Mass are not the same as at the Novus ordo. Nor are they the same at Eastern Rite Divine Liturgies.
I attended a Tridentine Latin Mass and got totally confused by it! There was no sense of unity in community and prayer at any point- the priest and his men were doing their thing up front, the choir was singing in the gallery their own and the people were praying quietly in the pews all at the same time! I also couldn’t keep up with and was constantly getting lost in trying to follow along with the missal and no one was willing to help me find my place! I left that church totally frustrated!
The next day, I attended Mass at a Lithuanian cultural center near my home (I was living in Illinois at the time). The Mass was the Ordo Missae (NOT “Novus Ordo”! According to Fr. Peter M.J. Stravinskas, the Mass the way it’s done now is called “Ordo Missae”- The Order of the Mass!) This Mass was very structured- the priest says or does something, the people respond accordingly! The context was easy to follow- I knew exactly what was going on and how to follow along appropriately- and I don’t speak a word of Lithuanian!
I have attended Masses in the Byzantine Rite, the Maronite Rite and the Anglican Ordinariate. The people who attend those liturgies regularly don’t even care how everyone else worships! However, those who attend the Tridentine Mass regularly are always condemning those who don’t go along with their ways- especially those who attend the Ordo Missae liturgy! I’ll never attend the Tridentine Mass again!
First, it’s the Church established by Jesus. And I feel the prayers that go up for me from friends when I ask and it makes we wonder if the ancestors that included their descendants in their prayers for future generations. And to remember that Jesus redeemed me when I take his body and blood each week! Thank you, Dr. Marshall, for mentioning the beautiful religious art. Stain glass in magnificent cathedrals always speaks to me and I see ancient people raising their hearts to glorify the Holy Trinity through such creations and talent given to them by God.
I'm from Philippines and I'm a firm believer of Catholicism, for me this is the only one true church, if you're doubtful about it, I suggest, if you believe in God, please try to ask Him thru prayers or ask for a sign which religion is the true one. The Catholic church did not do any wrong but its those people who belongs to it who comitted those mistakes, its not the religion itself.
