Grew up Pentecostal and finally have seen the light and will be attending my first mass tomorrow
Why do they pick the worst Catholic bishops to interview? The converts are coming despite the last two marxist pope's not because of them. Tese conversions started in their hearts long before pope Leo arrived on the scene.
the cross seems heavy for a necklace and seems too big they look ridiculous. I know u r a priest from a mile away
Began conversion at 32 years old. In this materialistic commercial world, I belonged for something truly real. Then I started reading old documents and learned what apostolic succession is. Jesus said many many more words than what is written down in the gospel. Those traditions have been passed down and it’s a wonderful feeling to be a part of something like that. I do not believe it took 2000 years for Jesus to finally be happy with his church. We acknowledge the devil is present in our lives in the church and work every day to overcome that. People want realness right now. God bless all of you.
Ave Christus Rex
It’s the only way.
Love this! I see it at my church. I think is the tradition that brings people in. I mean is 2000 years of history!
Well then, pple need go know more facts about that cult.
Maybe it's also because of St.Carlo Acutis' intercession!
St.Carlo Acutis, pray for us ❤
In Columbus ohio we had 1,000 join last Easter in diocese
A priest molested my husband, so I kept my son out of the Church. I have no regrets.
I can tell you exactly what's happening. It's a culmination of several catholic media groups and their theologian personalities having planted the seeds of apologetic theology for the past 2 decades in media (EWTN, Catholic Radio, Catholic Answers, Coming Home Network, St. Paul Center) intersecting with amazing (truly Catholic) Universities like Franciscan and Ave Maria intersecting with the vacuous, unfulfilling decadent promises of materialism and culture intersecting with several You Tube personalities. It's a wave. Years of media integration seemed to not bear fruit. Most laypeople don't listen to those types of media, but the passionate few do. Then they convert or start podcasts and develop a new layer with more eyes until it snowballs. For those who are truly searching, the Catholic theological presence is out there in spades. The study is rich, the history is long, and the scholarship deep. It's fertile soil for the wanderer.
No , the reason is attend Mass and The Eucharist . Also the new young adults and from other rite coming to the Holy Church is because they we lie about the Catholic Church and once they did their research the full sacrament is only in Catholic Church. The Current Catholic Leaders in churches need to step aside as they are the hindrance to these new influx.
We’re all coming home. To the church JESUS established!
The internet happened. We were lied to about the Catholic Church.
its YouTube. and the disillusionment with the evangelical "churches"
A rather poor, obvious story. Really 60 Minutes story.
The real thing going on is that secularism is not delivering what secularist trumpet. People want more and more priests and podcasters are delivering those discoveries.
The rise in dark satanic forces and people understanding that Christ is the only way to combat those
I think report is misleading and how it's formulated. It's presented in the same misleading way that report about Gen Z going trough a Christian revival, floated by the Conservatives, when in reality the study they where quoting was showing that Christian Gen Z is going more often to Church by a few percents, while in reality Gen Z was the most unreligious generation ever. This one is the same. The thing that is likely happen is a migration from Evangelical and other denominations, moving to Catholicism, not just due to searching tradition, but also them rejecting Christian Nationalism and the MAGA virus that infected those denominations, and are altering the message of Christ. But the way this is presented in media is instead made look like atheist and unreligious Gen Z, are turning to God and Catholicism, when every study that exist shows a clear decline in Christianity.
the beginning of the end
Amen
