Muslims are Converting to Christianity in Record Numbers

We are in a time of the first ever mass conversions of Muslims,” Father Mitch Pacwa SJ told me in a phone interview. “God is doing a mighty work among them.”

Pacwa said that mass conversions are happening even in very fundamentalist countries. There is rapidly growing number of conversions especially on the edges of the Muslim world in the western and southern parts of Africa, he said. “Africa is now growing predominantly Christian despite crackdowns,” Pacwa said.

Some of the noteworthy countries he mentioned include Iran, reported to have 3 million Christians, and Indonesia with reports of 2 million a year converting.

“In Mongolia, the president opened the country to Christians and there’s even an archbishop,” Pacwa said. “They built a Catholic school there too. If I was younger, I would have gone.” He said that the desire for a Western education was the impetus to open up the country to the Catholic Church.

There are even conversions happening in many strict Muslim countries, according to Pacwa. He did not want to go on record with particulars for fear of increased retribution. Mass conversions are also being reported among refugees that are filling up the Christian churches left empty by Europeans. Many wonder if those are authentic conversions or just a response to improving their chances for amnesty, but time will tell.

Signs of this conversion are showing up in the U.S. too, Pacwa said. “I was about to celebrate Mass at a Maronite church in San Diego and I said hi to a man who introduced himself as Achmad. I asked if he was a Christian. He said: ‘Yes, I was recently baptized.’ He said he from Morocco. Christians do not have the name Ahmad—that’s a form of Mohammad.”

You dare insult they that “guard the Aviv”?????

Flee for your life heathen!!!

[Elsie]

Before one can “guard the Aviv”;
they must begin the beguine.

I’m not. It’s not Christianity.

Catholicism is the ONLY true Christian church in history.

the various zillions of "denominations" are just that...wannabees

[terycarl]

“Yes, and what makes it even harder to see truth is that there are so many conflicting (and therefore false) protestant interpretations of it, from Quakers to Snake Handlers, Adventists to Baptists, Anglicans to Pentecostals, Methodists to Presbyterians, etc., etc., ad infinitum.” To Roman eyes, all indistinguishable.

Quite true....wrong is wrong and it really doesn't matter what you name your error.....

[terycarl]

LMAO!!! Can you tell us what organization conducted this new poll? It was probably one hired by the DNC to hoodwink gullible Republicans into believing most of the DACA illegals will vote for Republican candidates once they’re eligible to vote. Too funny!

I don't know about the poll, but are you suggesting that Hispanics from Mexico and Central/South America are not predominantly Catholic?????? Catholics with a brain vote Republican.

[terycarl]

I’ll ask you the same question. Are the Eastern Orthodox Christians in your view. And if so, why?<./i>

Yes, of course they are, they are Catholics who only challenge the leadership....not the dogma.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

“Quite true....wrong is wrong and it really doesn’t matter what you name your error.....”

I agree. Even in the case of Roman Catholicism.

[terycarl]

You also forget that the Catholic Church denied access to the scripture by the laity teaching that only the Church could interpret scripture. You had to be part of the club to study scripture and the club brooked no dissent or they tossed you back out to be with the unwashed. I’m sure that and the fact that most reformers met a grisly death kept a lot of criticism off the official record...

Not really educated are you.....the denial was AFTER the Prottys wrote several "interpretations" of what the bible really said.....they were merely trying to keep the nonsense out of the hands of the true Christians.....

[terycarl]

“You have to believe in all of them or you are damned per Rome. “ That’s not my problem or worry as a Protestant.

uhhh, yeah it is....

[HereInTheHeartland]

Its not my worry what you as a Catholic believe.
I’m not your judge.

[terycarl]

The Mass is a true sacrifice, not just a commemorative meal, as “Bible Christians” insist. "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." -Jesus

you do to remember how to diagram a sentence.... He said " do THIS In remembrance of Me.........He told them what to do and added why to do it.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

“do THIS In remembrance of Me.........He told them what to do and added why to do it.”

Except for real blood or real flesh, which has no evidence of occurring and was not believed until after the Apostles.

>>Catholics with a brain vote Republican.<<

I certainly wouldn’t argue with that statement. However, polls have consistently shown that most Catholics in our country vote for Democrat candidates, and I would wager that the majority of Hispanic Catholics that comprise the so-called DACA group will do likewise.

[terycarl]

Call no man father.

not even my daddy????????sob

[terycarl]

So what, in your opinion, makes one a Christian if it’s not believing and following Christ?

How about belonging to, and staying in the church that He founded......

[terycarl]

Now, you are talking about percentage figures, that are almost identical to what I have long since suspected, that about 98% of the world’s population will go to Hell. I cannot back that up with scripture, except to say, many are called, but few are chosen. Anyone who tries to rely on their good works, to get to Heaven, surely isn’t chosen.

just why would a creator create a people, 98%of which would spend eternity in hell??????

[Mark17]

Catholicism is the ONLY true Christian church in history.

LOL. Horse hockey. We all know the OTC, is the First United Church ⛪ of the Navigators. It was started by Jesus. 👍 They are not into works based religions. I gave that up for lent. Having assurance of salvation is a beautiful thing. I am reasonably sure you wish you had it. So, do you feel lucky? 🍀

[Mark17]

the denial was AFTER the Prottys wrote several "interpretations" of what the bible really said.....

I prefer the protty interpretation of the Bible, cuz I am REALLY into YOPIOS. If you aren’t, that’s on you bro. 😇
