Read The Secret History if the Jesuits by Edmond Paris. Available online as a free PDF file. Interestingly I've read similar writings of people that left the R.C. Church. The honor of God our Father through Jesus the Christ our Lord is want seems to be the common thread in all of them.

Re: The Wisdom of Hindsight: What we can learn from the experience of Father John Thayer – by Marcus Grodi

Jlevasseur26 — Fri, 11 May 2012 16:23:51 -0000

Your commentary on Father John Thayer was truly inspirational and informative. You have shared true Wisdom and discernment on how persons called to ministry as converts to the Catholic faith may encounter the sufferings of Christ and Mother Church. You are a wonderful example of One who has walked the walk and your Brother and Sister converts can draw worthy counsel from your words and example. Thoughtfully, Jackie LeVasseur

Re: Hauled Aboard the Ark – Conversion Story of Peter Kreeft

If someone continues to find themselves falling to sin, they need to seek Gods grace. God knows we are sinners, but that's why Jesus gave us the sacrament of penance/reconciliation to receive His grace directly, along with the other sacraments. Especially within the Eucharist: Jesus' body, blood, soul and divinity is not a symbol but a true reality!, which helps us to sin less. Faith is not something that we do "on our own", it's God's gift to us and requires our reason and an act of our free will to accept Him and allow the Holy Spirit to guide, change and conform us to His will. "His ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts higher than our thoughts." Our Father knows us better than we know ourselves, He knows what's best for us.

Thank you for your beautiful testamonial. I am a cradle catholic and I would not want to live without the graces of the Eucharist. May our loving Mother Mary take your wife into her loving arms, that she will fully love the Catholic Ch;urch.
I feel so blessed that I was born and raised in the church, but if I had not been, I might have tried the good Lord's patience convincing me of all the incrediable things of the Catholic Church. I will remember you both in my daily Mass;

This is a terrific discussion. I learned a lot about the proper way to read the bible and how discussions about Christ were initiated during the early years. Great commentary.

Re: Toward the Celestial City – Conversion Story of Dr. Frank Hermann

Nuttyb — Wed, 02 May 2012 22:09:57 -0000

A Catholic convert of two years, I sympathize with your realization that Scripture alone turns out to be a perpetually-dissolving foundation. It needed the external authority of religious leaders to determine its very existence, and it needs the external authority of the Church today to define its doctrine. After several years in higher education, I found I was no longer able to depend on any religious position except the solid rock of the Church---I had no other way to combat the deconstructionist theories at work in academia. My brother, who is not (yet) Catholic, but is doing translation work for Wycliffe, stumbled upon this same dilemma.

Re: O Felix Culpa! Oh Happy Fault! – by Fr. Ray Ryland

Emil Posavac — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 22:11:06 -0000

Aren't you concerned about collateral damage to human beings?
Please give me one reason why being fallen is better than not being fallen. The curse seems real. The billions of unbelievers are said to be in enternal hell. How can this be a benefit. "Happy fault" seems utter nonsense.

Re: No Neutral Ground – Conversion Story of Katie Plato

Harold Wenger — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:19:22 -0000

Katie, thanks for your beautiful story, which is so encouraging and challenging. As a lifelong Mennonite, I was confirmed - with great joy - as a Catholic a year ago. I too appreciate the authoritative voice of the church through the pope, and I have been so blessed by the faithful witness of recent popes. God bless you and your family as you continue the journey of faith.

Katie,
Thank you so much for sharing your story! You give me so much hope and encouragement that the Holy Spirit will convict 6 of my 8 kids who are away from the Faith at this time. With God, nothing is impossible!

Re: No Neutral Ground – Conversion Story of Katie Plato

Charlie — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:06:19 -0000

Katie,
What a beautiful witness to the Faith you and your family are! One thing that I was waiting for you to write about was the Catholic teaching on redemptive suffering. You obviously had to suffer throughout your conversion process, but our Faith teaches us that it can be offered as a beautiful gift to Him. That outlook can actually make suffering joyful. God bless you for following the promptings He placed in your heart as you sought Him.
