Gee, you might also want to recommend “Babylon Mystery Religion,” as well (good insightful reading).

The thread title states that it is “OPEN.”
Did I dispute your right to post? No.
Did I whine about your right to post? No.
Did I suggest another "valuable" resource for you to suggest? Yes. (albeit a slightly snarky suggestion)
As you said, the thread title states that it is "OPEN"
I have nothing to add as far as recommended books, except the Douay Rheims Bible, and the Baltimore Catechism. I CAN add that my heart is so very full of joy for you! :-)
Welcome home, Ultra!
Wonderful! I love the book and website suggestions on this thread! Going to bookmark it for a reading list! These are valuable resources for even cradle catholics like me!
Ok.
“Snarky” is okay by me.
BABYLON MYSTERY RELIGION it is then. Recommended.
Hyslop’s works, okay too.
And Good News For Catholics web site.
Incorrect. The term is correct and distinguishes between the Latin Rite and the Eastern Rites which comprise the Catholic Church.
194 The Apostles' Creed is so called because it is rightly considered to be a faithful summary of the apostles' faith. It is the ancient baptismal symbol of the Church of Rome. Its great authority arises from this fact: it is "the Creed of the Roman Church, the See of Peter the first of the apostles, to which he brought the common faith".13
1059 "The holy Roman Church firmly believes and confesses that on the Day of Judgment all men will appear in their own bodies before Christ's tribunal to render an account of their own deeds" (Council of Lyons II [1274]: DS 859; cf. DS 1549).
Hyslop is an even bigger liar than Foxe.
The ignorance of some is what is tiring.
Picture having a child that you love, but who does reckless things, or who is away for a long time, or who has gotten caught up in a relationship that you think is not wholesome.
Now, picture that child returning home, freed from those troubles.
The parent will be joyful that the child has come home safe.
The child will be welcomed home.
That does not mean the child’s life will be free from struggles, only that the child has entered a wiser stage of life, better prepared to handle life’s challenges.
Even if the lost or separated person is 55 when they return home after a long separation, the joy at their return home remains that- joy that the person has come home.
For those of us with a very sound conviction that the Catholic Church is the home that Christ built, we are happy for the person who has come home.
There is no negative projection intended.
Oh, I wasn’t thinking about Foxe. Yes, I recommend his works, too, without hesitation. (Neither snarky nor sarcastic).
God Bless You!
“On the Way to Jesus Christ”, by Pope Benedict16.
He brings the Scriptures and Christ Jesus to us in his writings so clearly in spirit.
That is virtually all I ever need to know about you.
“The ignorance of some is what is tiring.”
Offer it up as a mortification for the holy souls ( -;
“That is virtually all I ever need to know about you.”

Doesn’t much matter.
Doesn’t matter to me at all.
This thread is announcing that another soul is coming home to the Church that Christ founded, and no petty anti-Catholic sniping can ruin that.

I’ve been a member of the Church of which Christ was made the Head at His Resurrection and Ascension now for 31 years. I’m recommending that to the dear one.
“Ive been a member of the Church of which Christ was made the Head at His Resurrection and Ascension now for 31 years. “
Fascinating choice of words.
You say you are “a member of the Church of which Christ was made the Head at His Resurrection and Ascension.”
How nice! Is that like an honorary doctorate or something? Does Jesus get an endowed chair, too, so this church can demonstrate its symbolic commitment to being tolerant to His thoughts?
Catholics belong to the church which Jesus Himself founded, the One where He Himself IS the Head - not one in which someone “made” Christ the “Head.”
