We are ALL converts to the Catholic Church. The conversion normally occurs at Baptism (by water, blood or desire). The Blessed Mother was redeemed before she was conceived. John the Baptist may have been converted in the womb as he leaped for joy at the sound of Mary’s voice.
Why be Catholic? >>>The Eucharist is real & it is Christ coming to enlighten and strengthen the believer by nourishing his soul for eternal life. Jesus Christ (John6:54), “Whoever eats my flesh & drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.” (I heard a Priest on the radio say, at the end of the Judgment there will be Communion before we all enter Heaven.)
God in his infinity Mercy gives us the ‘Baptism by Desire’ for all those who ‘Love God above all things & love their neighbors as themselves’ so that they may obtain all the promises of Jesus Christ for eternal life in Heaven. (God loves everyone & provides for membership for ALL into the Catholic Church. Fault = serious, willful & full knowledge. +++ It is God who decides membership in the eternal Catholic Church for ALL those who fail as commanded to ‘officially’ join the visible Catholic Church.)
The passages about the Judgment of Nations in Matthew25: 31-46, when Jesus Christ separates the sheep from the goats, teaches ALL of us that God is looking for Acts of Corporal Mercy. Jesus Christ: “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for >me.”
Great Statememnt.
Its not the actual flesh of Christ. Its a cracker. We take communion to remember what Jesus did for us and to reflect on our own lives.
I do think that there will be a large scale return to Roman Catholicism by protestants. So many protestant churches are heretical and spiritually dead now. Why would anyone stay in an apostate, dead protestant church when they can go to the original apostate church?
