My hope is that you will find his story fascinating and inspiring like I did. This illustrates clearly and profoundly the magnificent treasure we have in our Catholic faith.

Thought you folks might want to listen to this talk, and possibly share it with others.

Looks like Hahn’s conversion has been good for business, his speaking and writing business. Just sayin.....

I have listened to Scott Hahn on many occasions. He is truly a great man.

I suppose that by posting this you assume that the “conversion” of Hahn (did he go from a believer in something other than the Christ to a believer in the Christ - I think not!) from Protestant to Catholic (categories I do not think will hold up on Judgment Day) is somehow significant. Listening to Hahn, I fail to see where there is any significance. He wouldn’t be the first person to hold a doctorate and be less than believable or trustworthy. That list is very, very long.

I remember debating with Gerry Matatics some years ago (but he has, sadly for lock-step Catholics, identified himself with the sedevacantist faction in Catholicism, and so probably lacks credibility in the minds of many Catholics, even though he was all the rage a few years ago) and found him less than convincing. He even alluded at the time to have been very familiar with, and approving of, Hahn. Both were Presbyterian, something in the Catholic mind to be lumped together with “Protestantism” as if all who they arbitrarily place in that category are the same as all others. (Protestant is, after all, a Catholic accounting category.) All of which overlooks the most basic of things. To be a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Son of Man (that is, born of the Virgin Mary) is something that had validity and definition long before either trademarked Catholicism or Protestantism existed. Man’s imposition of his own standards of validity and veracity after the time of Christ is just that, imposition, if, that is, it does not find itself to be in harmony with the Holy Scriptures, the authority from which even the Christ never varied. (How could He?)

Hahn, in my estimation, is just a fellow - to be sure, a very smart fellow - who has exchanged one set of preconceptions for another. He may even be a true believer in Christ - and I hope he is! - but he has been caught up to a certain extant into the verities of his own age rather than the verities that are ageless.

So, I guess, Heart-Rest, thank you for reminding me of Scott Hahn. But he has not the significance for me as he, apparently, has for you.

Dr. Hahn’s tapes really helped me and my wife in our journey back to Rome in the mid-90’s.

Thanks for this post.

Scott Hahn is brilliant. Catholic converts are the best. They have a great appreciation for the gifts that God has given us, things we take for granted like spoiled children. They also understand the mindset of Catholic bashers, because we don’t know what they are even talking about to defend ourselves.

Thank you, Heart-Rest, for the post and ping.
