He told The Anchor, “I found myself explaining the Catholic position to Catholics.”

Why I jumped over too. :) Welcome home!

“For all of his adult life, Hadley Arkes has followed in the steps of the Master. He now walks along side of him,” he added.

Not one word in this man's conversion about our Savior, Jesus Christ...

Christians don't walk along side of Jesus...They walk in Him...You can't get that concept until you ARE in Him...

Me too! It's often hard to find since most folks are drawn to scandalous news stories but I prefer and try to post these. Glad you enjoyed it.

It's right here!

Friends have said that Arkes has remarked that it is not a surprise that a faith that believes God himself comes under the appearance of unleavened bread is sensitive to the dignity of human life in even its tiniest form.

Even a Jew recognizes the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist!

something special about the Catholic Church as a “truth-telling institution.”

Yes.



I am the way and the truth and the life

RE: More than a decade ago, Arkes realized that there was something special about the Catholic Church as a “truth-telling institution.”

Amen.

Only Satan himself could be in the heart of someone who, when presented with a story of conversion to Christ, spews venom.

Thank you for posting this wonderful story. I was a little surprised because I had assumed that he had become Catholic quite a long time ago.
