Alex Jones, a successful Evangelical-Pentecostal Pastor in Detroit, struggled for years to understand Catholicism. Then he led over 50 members of his former Church into Roman Catholicism.

Welcome Home Deacon Alex Jones. God bless you and family on your journey.

Dumb question, but this isn’t the alternative news-source guy, is it?

Answered for myself: No, it isn’t. THAT Alex Jones is in Dallas.

[Crimson Elephant]

Austin, not Dallas.

A heartening sign that the Catholic Church is making progress in bringing Christians back together.

I had the great pleasure of bringing Alex Jones & his wife to Hawaii for a Catholic Conference in 2000, soon after he and his congregation converted. It turned out to be a fortuitous time for him here, as we had brought over Fr. Peter Stravinskas and Jeff Cavins as well, and his linking with them helped him navigate through some of the difficulties he encountered with the Diocese of Detroit.

What a wonderful, God-filled couple the Joneses are.

Thanks for your part in his conversion.

Welcome home, Alex and family!

Here’s Deacon Jones telling his conversion story. A little long but absolutely worth the time to watch. I posted this early this morning. I find the deafening silence from the usual Catholic-bashers telling.

**I find the deafening silence from the usual Catholic-bashers telling.**

Well, I don’t know about the deaf, but if the blind lead the blind, both fall in the ditch, nomatter how lovely it is decorated. One is either buried in baptism in the name of JESUS... FOR the REMISSION of SINS (all of em, original, everyday, big bad ones, etc.), or one is STILL dead in sins and trespasses. That’s what the apostles (including PETER) taught.

The deafening silence from the legion of Catholic bashers on this board is because most people just can’t fathom up the courage to belittle a man that was a protestant pastor for 40 years, then converted to Catholicism. And that’s a comendable trait. There’s a few on FR I could mention, because I can see smoke coming out their ears as I type this.
They know who they are.
