Once they start studying the early Church Fathers and once they understand that "Augustine" is really St Augustine, a devout Roman Catholic ... it is all over from there ...

Marcus's show is on EWTN @ 8 pm EST..it is really riveting television.

If you have access to cable, check with your local provider to see if they supply EWTN. Marcus Grodi hosts a live program on Monday evenings at 8pm.

In the meantime, you may enjoy listening to some of the previous programs, through Real Audio at this link:

Journey Home , click on 'Past Programs'.

Marcus also hosts his own web site - The Coming Home Network. The above link includes a separate link to that site.

We have several converts here in the forum, and others who, like you, are somewhere along their own journey. Should you have any questions or simply, please do not hesitate to ask.

Rest assured of my prayers for you and your family!

I was once UMC. When it became clear that she had nothing of substance to offer I left her for something more satisfying.

Though, you are welcome to head back to Rome, and I'm sure they hold open the door for all Protestants who think that the Reformation was a mistake, I personally don't think that the RC has anything to offer either. When you set up a Religion where the Sacraments are controlled by the church instead of grace being free in the hands of the Lord, you set up an institution which is nothing more than a means of control by intimidation and fear. Just look at how Rome reacted to the Reformation by Trent.

Personally, I have found free grace to be much more satisfying.
