Why Be Catholic and Not Just Christian?

As an Atheist in a relationship with a full-time Catholic boyfriend, all these Fr. Mike's videos gives me so much insight into the Catholicism. I really want to learn and understand why for my boyfriend church and God himself is a very important part in his life. Religion is so new to me and I still don't get many things, so I am very grateful of how easy Fr. Mike explains Catholicism. Thank you! :) Update: 5 months later I became a Catholic myself! :)

I remember watching this a few years ago as a Protestant thinking, “You make good points, but I’d never be Catholic”. 2022 I’m a confirmed and baptised Catholic considering religious life seriously. Glory and honour to God the Most Holy Trinity.

I was raised Catholic, stopped attending mass once I was 14. Now I’m 20 and today I finally went to mass. It was wonderful. I need to confess so and I can start receiving communion again

My Mom always had an issue with the Catholic Church but I got her to come to mass a few months back. me and her had a conversation tonight about how we felt Jesus with us in mass today and all I can say is how grateful I am for our lord bringing me and mom into this wonderful place. I hope all people can find it in their heart to come to mass at least once with an open heart to Jesus

I was baptized catholic as a baby. I was not raised in the church for whatever reason and I became lost. The last year I have had a strong calling of returning to the church. So here I am. I’m taking my daughters to mass for the first time. Reading the Bible and the catechism. It’s a lot to take in and your videos help a lot. Thank you father.

I’m so glad I found Catholics here because I’ve been attacked for being catholic

I grew up Catholic, Catholic school, church every Sunday but I never felt Gods presence in my life I only believed in God because that’s what I was taught. I got older and became agnostic for some time wondering my relationship with God not knowing what was correct, became Mormon for a short period of time still deep down confused. The past year God truly presented himself to me, I felt his presence for the first time in my life. God showed me the way back to the Catholic Church, and I have more faith now than I have in my life I am happier more than ever! Listening and learning more from these podcasts and I am so proud to be Catholic. God sent me on such a journey and I am happy to say I am finally home with Him.

I had been avoiding watching Fr. Mike’s YouTube because he talks so quickly and I can’t comprehend and it’s overwhelming. SO… I just realized… I can slow down the playback to .75 X speed and now I can follow. I’m super grateful and I hope this is helpful. I love my Catholic faith.

I was Muslim and I joined Christianity. I found it difficult to adjust to Protestant Christianity because Islam preaches Holiness and the protestant churches were lacking in that aspect and when I joined Catholicism I was so happy because Catholics really treat the Trinity as Holy and worship God with Holiness and seriousness and not Lukewarmness. Its important to worship God as Holy because Jesus in the second coming comes back for a Holy people. We need to be Holy like our Father in Heaven is Holy! I love being catholic now.

Lord I am so confuse. Please lord guide me which church should I go to. All I know is you are the almighty god.

Finally reverted after 20+ yrs as a protestant. Many thanks to Fr. Mike, Trent Horn, and other priests/apologists out there clearing things up and making it obvious. Too long i've been on the side bashing Christs Church, it is great to see those in the Church going on the offense. I seem to be finding many of others doing the same and either reverting or converting. What a joy it has been to be in the Church, especially the Mass is amazing, and confession. Blessings

After finding this video, I have now made the decision to start my OCIA classes in September. I also now have a FULL Bible with all the books and have been attending mass, and will be doing so daily. I'm also learning the Rosary and I'm so excited for the day I get to celebrate becoming a confirmed Catholic next year. 🥰 Glory Be to our Most Holy Father and Blessed is Our Mother of Christ. 🙏✝️❤️

I’m a catholic and I’m in 8th grade. I was never baptized as a baby because my mother had cancer and wanted to be there for my baptism but she sadly passed away and told my aunt to baptize me. ( my dad passed away before I was born) Because of family drama my aunt never wanted to speak to me and my guardian parents. Now I will be receiving my 3 sacraments this year😁 I go to a catholic school which has helped me understand my religion so much more.

I'm a pretty devout Catholic, I believe in one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, but I just wish that more Catholics would be more accepting of protestants and that more protestants would be more accepting of Catholics. Division gets us nowhere and hate is straying from Christ's intentions which are for us to love one another as he has loved us.

I grew up Prodestant but felt something important was missing. Never quite understood the Catholic church. Not understanding that the Catholic church is the original Christian church. Father Mike answered my questions so clearly. Thank you!

It's really nice to hear some of our brothers and sisters stories to their journey to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church ( Catholicism ) they make my faith even stronger. Congratulations to our new Catholics brothers and sisters, Remember serve for the Glory of God!

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” -JESUS ‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬

As an Irish Catholic who turned 18, I was very close to converting to the Church of Ireland. I thought it was a welcoming church with more welcoming and Christian people. There are definitely hypocritical Catholics, but what made me stay with The Church was attending Adoration every Friday night 12am-1am. Every Friday as a young person, alone in the church, I felt the presence of Christ whilst praying in front of The Eucharist. That great spiritual experience is consolidated only through Transubstantiation

I was raised catholic and wander away in my teens. Now in my early 50s, I prayed to God and asked to point me in the right direction. I come home from work one day and let the dogs out, my small dog barks, tail wagging, i go to see what hes happy about and see a unknown man walking down the street. Keep in mind i live on a deadend road that leads to a farm so i have very few neighbors, Anyway, my dog goes to say hi to the man and the man comes over to me to say hello, turns out hes a catholic priest....God spoke strongly to me! Also, if you read the early church fathers writings, they quite obviously were catholics.

This video is amazing, recently I have started converting to Catholicism so this really sealed it for me. God bless
