Dave Armstrong’s site is great. I regularly recomend it to people. Books well worth reading too.👍
 
Wonderful list! #38 is seen in the Protestant rejection of the Eucharist.
  1. Catholicism upholds the “incarnational principle,” wherein Jesus became flesh and thus raised flesh and matter to new spiritual heights.

WHY ARE YOU CATHOLIC :confused: :confused: :confused:
I am not, and to borrow from another poster:

I was born and raised as a Protestant. When I was nearly enticed away into the RCC, I was given the grace to recognize the error in that and have remained Protestant. Glory be to God.

😃 😃 😃

Now that I’ve answered your question, I have a question of my own to ask: why in the world are you preaching to the choir here? Why not post this on a Protestant (or secular even) MB and see what you get?

Hi:

I am not PREACHING … I am more interested in educating Catholics. It is amazing how many don’t know which end is up!

Well, Becky, I was raised in a strong Protestant family with a strong Protestant heritage. I then married a nice Catholic boy from Poland who desired to raise our children Catholic. I had to pray to God to help me overcome my objections to certain doctrines of the faith. Boy, did he!! I can’t even begin to tell you how my love for Jesus has deepened. I am now a convert. (Ten years ago I would never have believed it).

I understand what you say. I just really believe that you haven’t been hit by the graces yet. I’m not trying to be arrogant so please forgive me if I sound that way. I used to get really annoyed when they would say the “fullness” of the faith or the “true” church. Now it all means something to me. The depth that is there is truly incredible.

Please talk to God about this. If it is true then he will take you there if you ask him. If it is not, then he won’t. But you have to ask the one that matters.

And thanks for educating us Moe! I am still printing out that list of 150 reasons and plan to share it with my CATHOLIC “Bible study”. (I put Bible study in quotation marks because of course a Catholic Bible study is much more than just the Bible.)

Why am I a Catholic? Because I was born into a long line of Catholics–Italian, Irish, and French. And because I never stopped being a Catholic. Instead, I used life’s crises and evangelization by Protestant friends to learn more about my Catholic faith. And the more I learned, the more I felt lucky to have been “born” Catholic. And the more I learned, the more I loved about our Catholic faith.

I do not know about you - but I can’t get enough education on our faith … isn’t it just totally awesome! 👍
 
Hi Susan,

No, you’re not sounding arrogant 🙂 I’ve already spoken to the One that matters ;). Thanks for your kind post.

In Christ,
becky 🙂
