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.

Did Jesus eat His own flesh and drink His own blood?

But it was the CATHOLIC CHURCH that God used to develop the Bible. And they liked it SO much; they kept right on developin' stuff!

Its absolutely mindboggling that the majority of protestants on FR will not give the Catholic Church credit for anything. What a blind whiner you appear to be!

The solas have absolved protestants of the necessity of repentance and therefore reject the Holy Spirit. This is an untruth.
Are you aware of this fact?

God's mercy is greater than protestants give Him credit for.This is an untruth.
Why are you repeating it?

You have made a very serious accusation in front of witnesses.

And this comment is indicative of the gnosis inherent in Protestantism. The rejection of the body and of matter. And these FR catholic comments are indicative of the non-Berean mindset rife throughout Catholicism. The rejection of the brain and it's uses.

I suspect the reason is that they do not have to be born-again, can live like the devil all week, confess to the priest, eat the little wafer, sup the juice, and live as if everything is ok because they have just enough religions to soothe their dead conscience.

If the image of Mary appears on my toast is it still ok to eat it?Only if you have BLOOD to wash it down with.

I don’t; but obviously SOMEone gets the point!
I also don’t think the Book says, “Get nailed to a cross and follow Me.”

>>What color was Pope Peters fish hat?<<
Paul would have excoriated any one in any of the assemblies had he even heard of such a thing. God called it whoring around with other gods.
