I’m one of the prolife converts! Excellent article!
In describing his conversion, Adasevic said he "dreamed about a beautiful field full of children and young people who were playing and laughing, from 4 to 24 years of age, but who ran away from him in fear. A man dressed in a black and white habit stared at him in silence. The dream was repeated each night and he would wake up in a cold sweat. One night he asked the man in black and white who he was. ‘My name is Thomas Aquinas,’ the man in his dream responded. Adasevic, educated in communist schools, had never heard of the Dominican genius saint. He didn’t recognize the name."

Because it’s the most consistent denomination when it comes to life. No other approaches it. Not only is it church policy, but the vast majority of Catholics, leaders or followers, actually subscribe to it.
Unfortunately, too many see it as a “tradable political issue”. IOW, if one candidate is pro-job and another is pro-life, there’s this logic that says that’s an even trade off. “Life” is not an issue. It’s the premier God-given right.
Goes to show that God is calling more people home in faith conversion.
I believe that many people recognize instinctively, if not consciously, that abortion is almost universally a symptom of unchastity. The Catholic Church is the only religious body that has authoritative, complete, rational, and consistent teaching about chastity. This virtue is not universally observed, of course, any more than other virtues always are, but it is stated, by the Catholic Church, in terms that fully rational and well-intentioned persons cannot dismiss.
Um . . . because they’ve decided evolution isn’t so bad after all?
I am protestant, I will never become Catholic. I will work with Catholics, however and have no problem with that. My problem lies in that I would have to trely on the word of a single human beings to be in charge of my faith. Humans are evil creatures from birth and I will never rely on anyone else than God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit to save me.
I love conversion stories. They remind cradle Catholics about all the wonderful reasons the Catholic Church possesses the fullness of faith.
The story of the man who was visited by Aquinas in a dream, though he’d never heard of him, is especially moving.
The Holy Spirit is still guiding the Church. The faithful will have nothing to fear. I am so deeply grateful that I am Catholic and can continue to discover deeper and deeper beauties of the faith.
Why are prominent pro-lifers becoming Catholic? Pro-lifers seek the Truth, and “The Truth is Self-Authenticating.”
And as Cardinal Newman so succinctly put it, “To be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant.”
When you study the history of the pro-life movement, and the legalization of abortion, you realize abortion was legalized because contraception was legalized and culturally accepted.
And contraception was legalized and culturally accepted because in 1930 protestantism changed its historical condemnation of contraception.
There is only one Church which has not caved on contraception, so there is only one Church with a cohesive, TRUTH based approach to all pro-life issues.
Pro-lifers know it, and are flocking to that Church.
I am not a Catholic myself, and don’t see myself ever converting to Catholicism, but I have to give the Catholics credit. Whenever I go to the abortuaries, 90% if not higher of those outside praying, counseling, protesting, etc, are Catholic.
The Protestants and Baptists all talk a good game on abortion, but where the rubber meets the road it’s the Catholics who show up.
