Where did you come from, convert dear? Out of the everywhere into here...

Love the idea of sticking tracts in the postage paid envelopes. Now, where do I get such tracts so I can begin??

I think part of the reason in the US that many of the converts are already Christians is that many people today are raised with an I want it and I want it now. One can’t walk into a Catholic Church fall down on their knees and get baptized next week.

I think this is why in the US we get mostly other Christians or those who considered themselves to be Christian and realize that walking with Christ takes time and sacrifice.

God Bless,

I was methodist, so I guess that would fall under mainline protestant…

That’s my impression, too.

Thankyou all for your support. I do feel that I have come home with the peace in my heart and the energy from the community. I think that a lot more of my previous brethern will find this same home if we as soon to be, convert, and craddle catholics lead by example and show that our lives filled with the true spirit of GOD.

Well, I came from evangelical/fundamentalist background and no Catholic tried to "steal"me from any flock because by the time I converted to Catholicism, I wasn’t going to church and was very disillsioned with the whole of Chrisitianity. I could not and still can not understand the multiplicity of teachings all supposed to be biblically based and yet so widely varied even on essential matters which no Protestant would agree to the latter portion of my comment I am fairly certain. So before jumping overboard to agnosticism, I prayed and decided to research Christianity and its history and was in for the shock of my life. I am now a Catholic and still going through much needed conversion after almost three years since my entry into the church. -God bless! - Maranajewell
