Why would intelligent, successful people give up their careers, alienate their friends, and cause havoc in their families...to become Catholic? Indeed, why would anyone become Catholic?
As an evangelist and author who recently threw my own life into some turmoil by deciding to enter the Catholic Church, I've faced this question a lot lately. That is one reason I decided to make this documentary; it's part of my attempt to try to explain to those closest to me why I would do such a crazy thing.
Convinced isn't just about me, though. The film is built around interviews with some of the most articulate and compelling Catholic converts in our culture today, including Scott Hahn, Francis Beckwith, Taylor Marshall, Holly Ordway, Abby Johnson, Jeff Cavins, Devin Rose, Matthew Leonard, Mark Regnerus, Jason Stellman, John Bergsma, Christian Smith, Kevin Vost, David Currie, Richard Cole, and Kenneth Howell. It also contains special appearances by experts in the field of conversion such as Patrick Madrid and Donald Asci.
Ultimately, this is a story about finding truth, beauty, and fulfillment in an unexpected place, and then sacrificing to grab on to it. I think it will entertain and inspire you, and perhaps even give you a fresh perspective on an old faith.

Thank you now that you have been corrected I hope you will have learned your lesson and not continue in your error, but I doubt it.
by who??? I know many so called believers who are far from being saints....divorsed and remarried....abusers within their families, cheaters on their taxes, liars, etc.
Yet identities are important, and the Lord's own eternal.
We are not Him and He is not ourselves, even as being born of the spirit we may cry unto Him -- Father.
Sorry about the Rodman wedding dress.
Originally -- it wasn't my idea, but I did laugh when I first heard of it. I think he was playing a big joke on the media due to some amount of speculation as to his future marital status.
A rumor got started -- Rodman has some imagination -- a little light turned on in his brain "hey, I can have fun with this" and the rest was one of those strange moments in popular/celebrity culture.
Thanks for all the laughs!
when He said unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of man and drink of His blood, you shall not have life within you...we took Him at His word.
born without sin....might she have had some sexual thoughts toward Joseph with whom she lived, might she not have felt anger when they tortured and crucified Jesus???she was a human just like us, she was, however, concieved without original sin and assumed into Heaven.
there are few, if any books directly written by God...however there are many written by Catholics with God's inspiration....the bible for instance.
I have no idea of whether or not He partook of that Passover meal of not....what difference does it make anyway???
Matthew 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
Not only did He partake but it was wine not physical blood.
God used Judas, Balhaam’s donkey, Herrod and others to accomplish His will also.
LOL. It was obvious there was NO in depth analysis or well documented reasoning.
By the apostles in several places in their writing.
Not much.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
If she was sinless she wouldn't have had those thoughts.
I have gone over this countless times with you and others. There is no sense in wasting my breath and giving protestants a springboard to launch one of their tirades on.
Aka Catholics fear scriptural and other documentation evidence and proofs.
The "..and yet" which you added portion needed to be included.
...least...
