10 Reasons Why I Became CATHOLIC

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

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 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.

I’m catholic from Poland… thanks for reminding me why it is a blessing to be a catholic.

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!"

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.

I am a protestant considering the catholic faith...at the age of 63...never too late with God.

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.

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.

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 am not Catholic, but I love your videos and you are drawing me to the Catholic faith every day. Thank you!

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. ❤️💕

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!

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.

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.

Listening from the Philippines, thank you for inspiring us to keep the fire burning as Catholics 👍

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.

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.

I also pray rosary daily since 5 years ago, and after 3 years later I met jesus intimately until now I can talk and hear God's voice through Holly spirit 🎉🎉🎉.... The one that leads me struggling nowadays is finding my faithful Catholic husband... 😇🙏 Salve from Indonesia 🙏😊

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.
