Such a great podcast! Praise the Lord. I'm a new convert myself, from 52 years as a Protestant! I came into full communion with Mother Church last November 5th!
Wow this is very similar to my journey. I was raised Mormon, married in the temple, 4 kids. Got divorced. Got excommunicated for similar reasons. Married my girlfriend and became Catholic 13 years ago. I also have pioneers in my family. My family is still active in Mormon Church but I have found peace with the Catholic Church. Not anti Mormon but for me I feel closer to God as a Catholic.
I was born and raised Mormon for 18 years, with pioneer ancestry, and was baptized Catholic in the same state as my ancestors became Mormon, Indiana. (In the Southbend-Fort Wayne diocese like Sean had his LDS mission in). Wonderful coincidences.
How do you square the Catholic stance on the validity of even non sacramental marriages and your previous marriage? Did you get the modern easy annulment? Did your previous "wife" not understand until death do us part? Contrary to popular belief the Catholic church takes non sacramental marriage seriously. The way we drop the ball on marriage hurts me deeply.
I can relate to his experience with St. Peter. This past January I reverted to Catholicism. And I one day, out of nowhere, I received this visceral, full body, sense of understanding and compassion for St. Peter, because I committed the same betrayal of Our Lord after I promised it was something I'd never do. I've learned to never say never. Thank you for sharing your story and welcome to the Faith!
That's understandable, Peter was in no way perfect. In fact, after Jesus promised him the keys of the kingdom and said upon this rock I shall build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, Jesus turned around and called Peter...Satan. In the Greek text, the gates of hell are referring to the gates of Hades which is the land of departed spirits. Christ was not implying there would be no apostasy, because frankly, Paul and the others even said there would be, but he was saying death could not prevail against the kingdom, which is true because Christ overcame death on resurrection morning. In any event, John the Apostle was Peter's Apostolic successor, not Linus or the other bishops of Rome. That was just a made-up story several centuries after the fact. The Pope didn't even attend the council of Nicea, it was all conducted by Constantine.
@tony1685 Catholics are the ONLY Christians. All others are heretics, period. Holy Scriptures (NOT the chopped-downed Protest-ant version!) are much clearer than you apparently are aware of. YOU, sweetie, are a heretic. Pull your head out and STUDY.
I am a cradle Catholic who was LDS for 19 years .. but the last few years I was active, I just kept feeling that the plain and precious that was lost was the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist that came with the reformation and the restoration by Joseph Smith. Both seemed to be the actual Great Apostasy by separating God’s people from the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit prompting me continuously about the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist that I had to leave the LDS church and return home to the Catholic Church in March 2022.
For me it really hit me in this interview when he recalled the promise that Jesus made to Peter and how his church would withstand Satan. I feel the same way. It is hard to accept a great apostasy and also give credence to Christ’s promise to Peter. It’s one or the other and I chose the same path. Welcome home to all of us.
I’m so happy to hear that you are discerning the Catholic church at this time. I used to visit the episcopal church across the street from me when I was on my way to becoming Catholic. What I could never get out of my head was how the Episcopal church started, I mean the Anglican church. It was founded upon murder and adultery, was it not? I could just never shake its foundations from my conscious awareness, and it bothered me. I couldn’t find rest there. Anyway, Marshall Taylor was also an Anglican minister who became Catholic. You might find his podcasts very helpful on TH-cam. God bless you in your journey of faith.
Thank you so much. I was born and raised Catholic in Belgium, than I was in the Mormon Church for 36 years and since a short time I am again believing in Catholicism. How fantastic this is! I am home again and I feel better than ever!❤
I as well was called out of the mormon church to go home to the catholic church. so much peace and rest. so blessed to be a part of the Lords one true church
I am Catholic from one of the first Christian lands to receive the Good News through the great Saint James the Apostles. So my family blood lines from both sides are Catholic for over2000 years and our Father in faith is Saint James. I never had any devotion to Saint Peter. I went to Rome 5 years ago, went to the tomb of saint Peter situated under the Basilica, when I came out from that dark, humid stuffy place into the sunlight I felt a true love and understanding of our dear father Saint Peter.
Drew stated in his interview at some point that this man’s conversion was almost mystical rather than intellectual. Mine was like that. I was an anti-catholic Protestant, but one day I found my way to a Blessed Sacrament Chapel in my city where things were quiet and I could pray. I did not know that the tabernacle in front of me contained the Real Presence of Christ in the consecrated hosts. I was alone in the chapel after someone had let me in, and kneeling on a kneeler. The Holy Presence in that room was so palpable that I began to weep like a baby, got off the kneeler and knelt on the floor, just crying and crying. Nobody but nobody could convince me from that day until today that Christ was/is not really present with us in the Eucharist. Matter of fact, every time I set foot in a Catholic Church, I sense his holiness there. I never have had that same experience walking in to any other church building. I speak here of Protestant churches. Anyway, thank you for this video. I have many extended family who are LDS, and this gives me hope to keep praying for them. I hope nobody gets mad at me for saying that I find their theology of God quite disgusting. Especially when they claim that Jesus is somehow brothers with Satan. How in the world can this possibly be?
i didnt even visit st peters. i was home watching pope john pauls funeral on the tv & they were talking about peter & pauls bones being underneath & then they were talking about the special slippers the recently deceased pope was wearing and they showed his feet with the slippers on & everything just clicked. i called my best friend pamela who was catholic and told her that i had to become catholic. i was shocked when she said thats abgreat idea i am so happy for you
@malkiyahu if your Minister tells you that your Mom is having an extramarital affairs with a lesbian woman ,Im sure you will believe your Pastor in a heartbeat ,without fact checking . That LIE you mentioned has been debunked million of times,including by their daughter ! They were already separated even before she was REhospitalized Unfortunately ,there is no Cyber Libel in this country .Otherwise ,you should be sued for defamation .Hopefully ,in the future ,we should have ,as people like you ,who are a menace to this society should be punished for besmirching one's reputation!
@@WatchingwaitingG2D truth hurts .it was featured in fox news channel before. When i went to provo utah.there were two groups of mormons ,one family who were asking the Priest about the Eucharist and one young couple who were in a hurry to get to the pew as they didnt want to miss Mass.i can tell right away that they were Mormons . Many intelligent Mormons have became Catholic already ,including a Harvard professor ,who were mocked by Mormons like you and called him dirty names here on YT. Truth hurts .Mormonism is a Cult and their Missionaries are business agents . They see future $$$$ in every prospective convert.mormons CANNOT enter their temples if they dont tithe! Thats a big business out there.thats why a devout mormon who was featured on “60 mins” left your cult as he learned that he was used as an instrument to defraud the govt .your cult was fined $$$$.truth hurts! you need to study ancient christian history and your beloved joseph smith bio and how he founded your cult!
I've heard of so many who left the LDS church and not only turned their backs on the church, but on God and Christ as well (some embracing atheism ). This story is so uplifting because Sean continued to hear, listen to and follow the promptings of the Spirit and he didn't turn his back on Jesus Christ. I feel so very happy for him!
Thank you... the best conversation I have listened to for a long time. I am absolutely so pleased for you and share the joy that you experience in this beautiful TRUE FAITH journey into the Catholic and Apostolic Church! Being a convert myself for more than 30 years, I loved listening to you and the way you described the beauty of the Mass and so much more. Welcome home! God bless you and your family in abundance. We are united in one Church. 🕯🕯🕯
Hi, the word TRINITY does not appear in the Holy Bible, but we know that Jesus returned to his Father and said before his ascension that He will ask the Father to send his Holy Spirit to us.....
I am happy to see that too, but there are tons of Catholics (usually Hispanics) becoming Mormon or evangelical Protestant where I live. Same with Pacific Islanders. Even some from Africa.
@@BrianTerrill Do you sometimes think some of the Mormon converts are for economic reasons and to come to the US or get across the border and work or attend the BYU?
@@violette4841 for economic reasons sometimes yes, for easy immigration or to attend BYU not so much. Why if they are Catholic, would they want to become a Mormon to attend BYU when Catholics have Notre Dame and around 200 other colleges to choose from in the US? People join the Catholic church for economic reasons too. I wouldn't use the term "convert" on everyone who gets baptized and joins the church though, there are a lot who join for phony reasons and may become converted over time or may eventually reveal their true colors and stab the church in the back. I've noticed a lot of people who have "joined" lately are pro LGBTQ and really have no intention of accepting the churches standards as much as they think they can join to pervert the gospel.
The more you know church history and visits archeological sites, the more you're confident that you belong to the true Church that Christ established. God bless..🙏
@@tony1685 That's what Ellen White, the SDA's prophetess to which tony1685 belongs, taught. White's teachings are viewed by the adventists like Tony as holy like the bible. Poor guy, only pride is keeping him from leaving his false church. He is doomed.
@@tony1685 We Catholics care for His word, Tony, the problem is- when you cite the scriptures, you infuse the interpretations of the false teachers like Ellen White and insist that their interpretations are the word of God! And even as confronted with biblical verses that contradict your point, anti-catholics like you would cite another verses form different parts of the bible which do not necessarily support the issue. Your sect insist on the old testaments' Saturday. Jesus said, I am the Lord of the sabbath. I'll give you the best example: "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you." "THIS IS MY BODY!" Did you understand that, Tony? The bible even cited the people around Jesus, who like you could not take what Jesus had said! He didn't bother to call them back! He even dared his apostles "you too, you want to turn away?" I bet you like all other sects, will cite different verses just to contradict what the Lord had said. Remember Tony, not everyone who call Him Lord will be saved. He categorically declared that "If you do not eat His flesh, you have no ;life in Him. You and your fellow SDAs are doomed.
@@GPB1101 Joseph Smith said, in effect, "the true church is me or nothing". all too many ex Mormons are stuck in this binary, so they say "it ain't you Joe, so it _is_ nothing". And this is sad!
Beautiful conversion story! God touches one in the right moment, all in His time. When He touches a heart, there's almost a sense of ecstasy that's not easily shaken off. ✝️🛐
I am a mormon who became Catholic last year and there was years that I could not feel right with the Mormon church going back to my 9th grade seminary I had my mother move me out because it just bothered me and I sat in the vice principal office the rest of the year. And then I became an Elder and babetised my youngest brother and you could see the look on my face in the pictures that day I felt horrible for doing that. And I never went to church for 50 years until both my parents passed and I about died of Covid but the great thing is I married a Catholic and 1 day I started going to Mass with my mother in Law and my wife and there was such a feeling you new you are there to worship Jesus and are Lady and even in the church you feel that at Mass. The Mormon church there was to many things that bothered me like baptize the dead you wake threw a Mormon church and the only thing that you see that you worshiping Jesus Christ is the name on the front of the church there is never a picture of Jesus or any just the name on the front of the church. This becoming a Catholic is the greatest thing I have ever done and I am 70 years old know. The most devastating thing about the Mormon church is the day my only child was married in the Mormon church and me and my wife could not attend her services and I new that day the Mormon church was so wrong. The Mormon church to me growing up it was like a local recreation place because all your friends were there and the Boy Scouts was a big deal but it is different know I think than when I grow up and I was raised in Salt Lake , Utah.
I was at a funeral a month ago and I walked thrue the whole church and could not find 1 picture or reference to Jesus . I have seen some in some back hall way but not the it should be.@@scottie2597
I am a catholic because of the ff reasons .1. Jesus said to Simon /Peter..one of his disiciple...You are Peter , the rock i will build my church..and Peter was the ist pope ..our leader of the cath. faith . 2. When Jesus had the last supper with his disciples...He raised the bread and said..this is my body..eat of this. etc..then he raised the chalice with wine..drink of this all of you for the forgiveness of sins...Do this in memory of me...catholics..have mass..Obey what Jesus commanded. 3. Catholics...honor and venerate Virgin Mary..as our heavenly mother..Jesus endorse her to us...when he said to John. JOHN .this is your mother....
none of that is Biblically accurate, friend. after 35 yrs of listening to these lies, i can now debunk them with Scripture. catholicism hates God and mandates sin.
Thank you for sharing your conversion story, brother. GOD works in uncountable numerous miraculous ways!!!! Welcome to the only BODY OF CHRIST. and you are really and truly a member now, brother ❤️.
I am so happy for you. As a lifetime Catholic my soul rejoices for your conversion. Hope we meet in Heaven one day when our journey here is over. God Bless
My husband and I keep you in our prayers. Both of you in this video and your families. Our son was Catholic and turned Mormon. What possessed him to do such a thing is beyond us! Very devout our son in the Catholic church. But fell in Love with a Jack Mormon he called it. So he stated he would still be catholic. We knew there is no such thing.. We feel he was pressured by his wife. And the Mormon church. So please keep our son and his family in your prayers.
Show Low...Nutrioso, Eagar, Alpine...as an Arizona native of 70+ years, it is fun to make this connection with you. I live in Phoenix Metro and had many Mormon friends in high school. They set up LDS lessons for me. My mother, very loving and wise, insisted that they teach the lessons at home where she could be a part of them. Her gentle questions in those meetings gave me pause. Over the summer, I read a well-known book on the history of the LDS church, and I lost my interest/faith in the Mormon faith. College? I settled into agnosticism, just short of atheism. Basically...disinterested in God and faith. Forty years later, and in a surprising encounter, I met God...then Christ...then Christians. This many years later, I thank God for my Christian faith, a grateful Catholic. What a blessing to hear your faith journey!!! God bless you and your family today and in the years to come.
@@lufhopespeacefully2037instead of spamming the same useless comment, show me how Joseph Smith isn't a false prophet according to Deuteronomy 13:1-5 and Deuteronomy 18:20-22.
I used to be married to a Mormon. Spend many hours in the LDS church. Loved the people but I could never grasp their theology. It felt so off. Then a friend took me to a Catholic Church and the first thing I realised was that it was all about Jesus. I had up to that point heard the talking about Jesus once. And that was in Sunday school for converts.
@@tony1685 You think Catholics don’t love Jesus? You can’t have met many. Ever seen a nun or a monk devoting their entire lives to Jesus? Priests giving up families so that they can invest everything in Christ’s church? Catholics spending hours praying in front of the tabernacle every day. Going to church everyday to receive Jesus like he commanded. Starting hospitals so that they can love people like Jesus loved. Catholics adore Jesus.
@@ModernLady i was catholic 35 yrs and of course there are some who do. problem is, the 'church' doesn't teach nor allow it. there are many, many catholics who love Christ , but sadly don't follow Scripture. note what John 14:15 clearly states. now realize that their 'church' can't have this. for example: Ex 20:4-6, they still make and bow to idols, statues and body parts. Ex 20:8-11, they are a day late. the Lord's day is the 7th day Sabbath. God doesn't want sacrifice, He simply wants our obedience to His Word of Truth - John 17:17 catholicism doesn't want such - it's of Satan, not of God. i do hope this is making sense to you Ma'am.
Former Mormon for 45 plus years. I am Christian now but thoroughly enjoyed Sean’s interview. Thank you and God bless you for your truthful raw interview 🙏
@@DrewTheCatholic it's still not Christianity, Sir. how can you just totally ignore what the Bible proves without question? catholicism mandates sin and hates Jesus Christ - Bible is very clear about this.
@@HouseOfAntioch How were they brainwashed? If a person really fears heresy and stays ignorant of other faith traditions because of it, that sounds more like brainwashing to me.

Am so happy to hear your testimony. If you have not see a video The great Miracles. I recoment it to everybody. Also The vail removed is so beautiful.🤗
I went to the SLC Temple Sq on a Sunday morning and it was all locked and chained up I went to the Vatican on a Sunday morning and it was 1000s Of tourists walking around
@joshgardner5887 regarding the statement that "The place to be on Sunday...and receiving the eucharist"; is opposed to the Truth. No person has the power to transform the bread into the Holy Eucharist is a Catholic Priest. The authority Christ granted Peter by giving him the keys to Heaven and His Church are solid and everlasting. By virtue of laying on of hands using the authority by an ordained Bishop, ( the rank of the Apostles of old), can a man be ordained a priest. You cannot go to some school, get a degree in divinity and magically have the authority to command the bread and wine (not grape juice) to become the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. What you receive in your meetings is not the Eucharist. Sorry, but it's only symbolic. "Unless you eat My Body and drink My Blood, you have no life in you" words of Christ to the multitudes. Many left Him, but He never called them back telling them not to take His words literally, that it was only symbolic. Your wafers and grape juice remain wafers and grape juice. Lifeless.
@@FaithCrisisSurvivor I think the point is, there is no gate keeper to where God dwells. Have you ever pondered the wedding at Cana? No one needed a temple recommend to attend. Unfortunately, that is another tool the LDS church uses to weigh on peoples’ hearts to get them to join the church or reactivate. After my eyes were opened (about a year after returning to my Catholic faith) I was so angry at myself for shutting out everyone who loved me when I got married in the temple.
@@catherinemcdavid1533 I'm sorry you had a bad experience. The wedding at Cana was not a sealing. The temple is more like Mount Sinai. Moses could ascend the mountain. Some of the elders could come within seeing distance. But the rest had to wait at the foot of the mountain.

These principles are seen as deeply embedded in our consciousness. 48:22 🤔 The conversation explores how the Catholic faith played a significant role in the formation of Europe and the development of Western culture, even unconsciously influencing good ideas. 51:06 🇺🇸 The discussion touches on how, within certain religious communities like Mormonism and Evangelicalism, there can be a sense of religiosity around the United States, sometimes equating it with a new Israel. 54:05 ✈️ The conversation includes a discussion about the beauty of Catholicism's rich history and heritage, especially when visiting places like Europe, where the influence of Catholicism is evident. 57:57 🙏 The transition from Mormon spirituality to Catholic spirituality is explored, highlighting differences in prayer, symbolism, and a newfound freedom to discuss personal faults and sins. 01:03:13 ⛪️ The conversation touches on how Mormonism and Catholicism approach the concept of sin differently, with Catholicism emphasizing God's abundant and readily available mercy through the sacrament of confession. 01:12:28 🏛️ The celestial room is a central, serene space in Mormon temples where members seek comfort and answers to life's questions. 01:13:37 🤔 In Mormonism, members receive a new name, not chosen by them, during their temple experiences, similar to Catholic confirmation names. 01:19:17 ✝️ Mormons have a strong belief in their prophet's direct communication with God, similar to Catholic saints' visions. 01:24:44 🧐 To maintain faith in Mormonism, adherents often need to ignore historical and intellectual challenges, which contrasts with the Catholic approach to acknowledging and embracing facts. 01:26:04 🌟 Transitioning from Mormonism to Catholicism has brought a newfound richness, happiness, and certainty to the individual's life. 01:29:26 🎉 Anticipation of receiving multiple Catholic sacraments is exciting and feels like entering a candy store for spiritual growth. 01:34:11 🙏 Former Mormon Bishop became involved in political campaigns related to marriage initiatives, strengthening his positive feelings towards the Catholic Church due to alignment on key issues like marriage. 01:38:30 🤝 Sean Noble, a Conservative Republican, finds alignment with Catholic social teaching principles like subsidiarity, solidarity, human dignity, and the common good, which are universally agreeable across the political spectrum. 01:44:04 🌎 Addressing immigration, Sean emphasizes the need to reform the immigration process to balance compassion with security, acknowledging that both extremes, open borders and zero immigration, have made it difficult to reach a compromise. 01:50:29 🌈 Sean Noble encourages those who may be questioning or leaving the Mormon Church to be open to the pursuit of truth and the beauty of the journey ahead in finding their path.
I can pull the rug from under the Catholic claim of authority from Peter with 2 facts: Fact 1: Most Catholics don't even know who Pope #2 is (St Linus) Fact 2: The Apostle John, according to Catholic tradition, outlived the first 4 popes, and it is his writings, not the first popes that were counted as scripture after Peter died, showing he was Peter's successor not Linus.
He talks about “knowing” this is true, so tell him to be aware of the dark night of dark night of the soul, where God will test that because we do need to walk in faith, even as Catholics. I had a spiritual supernatural conversion, and I KNEW. If it wasn’t for a very precious priest who could explain to me what was happening, the very night I was confirmed something happened to make me question what I KNEW, I would have left. Saint Teresa of Avila had a dark night of the soul experience, now twenty years later I am again experiencing His Holy Presence for six months, I’ve not felt since my induction into the Catholic Church.I never left and I know I have been more proud of being in Christ’s Holy Apostolic Church than anything for all those twenty years.
Very interesting story of your journey to put the icing on the cake. Have you ever experienced the traditional Latin mass? I went from a Novus ordo Catholic to becoming a traditional Catholic and I found it extremely rewarding seeing that the Novus ordo unfortunately doesn’t have the same beauty and strength if I could put it simply that way, that’s the traditional Latin mass which has been around for more than 1500 years while the Novus ordo is only been around for the last 60 years. Just a thought I don’t wanna rock anybody’s boat but for me to tell him I find it extremely rewarding. God bless.
‘Traditionalist’ rhetoric is not helpful. There is no evidence for a Latin sacramentary or rite as we know as the Tridentine form being earlier than 300-400s, and more likely that local apostolic churches in union with the Roman Church had their Eucharistic liturgies in their vernacular which later were preserved in the various rites from the Greek, and this includes the Latin and later on the Gallican rite and so on. But the specifics of the Eucharistic liturgy has always been true to their respective apostolic origins. We have evidence of these sacramentaries and their feasts down to the present, among the Catholic rites, and also among the Orthodox, where there is no doubt about the historicity of their usage. This does not mean that the Latin Church never changed the expression of its liturgy or that the Eucharistic canons of one rite is historically ‘superior’: all authentic Eucharistic liturgy is firstly Christ’s own offering to the Father, not one or another of us doing what only He alone does. So to insinuate that the Latin Rite in the vernacular is any less substantial in any form is judging it from its external expression and elements. True, I agree that the Latin Rite in the traditional form is edifying, beautiful, rich, and draws one into the mystery of the Eucharist which the expression of the vernacular seems ‘pedestrian’ but I would not recommend to any Catholic to subscribe to a view of the Rite as an ideological preference, whereas as a preference of sorts is consistent with the Catholic view of the validity of all apostolic rites within its unity of faith maintained by the bishops in full communion with the bishop of Rome. 😊
@@TyroneBeiron if you’re referring to the Novus ordo, which I understand you are if it’s a translation from the traditional mass, it definitely isn’t and for the last 60 years they’ve been playing havoc with the mass the late Michael Davies explains it extremely well if you read his books, I still pray for the pope you still will get my prayers but the way the church is being run. Unfortunately it’s on the rocks almost we’ve had ours problems in the past, so nothing is new under the sun but it’s coming were we may have female priests that is in a nova Sordo, not in the traditional mass, but a Novus auto and what unfortunately, Pope Francis is stipulating is not Catholic dogma call the same. you take care I know my history I know there’s been from the very early time. The mass originally was in the Hebrew and Greek eventually Latin was the norm because of the whole Roman empire use Latin it’s language that became the norm. Anyhow God bless.
@@DrewTheCatholic suggestion look up the mass of ages . And you’ll see a divergence there in the cardinal who started the ball, rolling with the change in the mass not saying I hate the Novus Ordo . I don’t. I pray that people will come to love the traditional Latin mass. That’s it a nut shell.
@@TyroneBeiron could you explain to me what rhetoric are you referring to? I’m not a Sede. Plus good that you know your history but if you’re not interested and understanding the arguments, then you get have given up anyhow, God bless.
I very much appreciated the comment about the "unwinding" that I am experiencing as I learn about the Catholic faith. As a recovering Mormon, after 64 years of indoctrination in the Mormon theology and culture, I find that is no easy task. I'm in RCIA currently and have found much that is wonderful and easy to embrace, but I would be dishonest if I didn't say that my past learning makes a few things challenging, transubstantiation being one of them. Fortunately, I no longer feel alone on this journey, and have good support to help me get through it.
Mr. Noble I am so happy for you in many ways. I am a Catholic who just returned to the Church after being estranged for almost 55 years. I have been in AA for 35 year and do have a believe in God. Unfortunately I felt like something was missing and it weighed on my heart and soul for several years. Three weeks ago I met with a local parish priest and we had a long talk ending with him hearing my confession. I received the Eucharist this past Sunday and feel like I returned home. I no longer feel like I have a hole in my soul. I so want to make a pilgrimage to the Vatican and see St. Peter's Basilica, but I'm disabled and in a wheelchair and rely on oxygen, so that pilgrimage will not happen. Sean Noble welcome home.
17:30 - when he talks about the scripture "upon this rock I will build my church" coming into his mind: This scripture may have come to mind because he was required to memorize it as a mormon seminary student in the late 1980s.
Yes, learned it but never thought about it until he stood in front of the traditional burial place of the rock. Coincidentally, Pierre is the French language name for Peter and the French word for rock is pierre.
Hello you too. Beautiful conversation. I enjoyed it, although in the general i think there were some few maybe couple ofdisingeneous Comments. But mostly it was good. Love the host"s even keeled voice, it puts one at ease. Got a question for the guest, don' t you get asked about your conversion being an end result of being excommunicated as opposed to being let into truth? What would you answer to that? Thank you and God bless both of you.
Clarification regarding the statements at 8:40 - McConkie died in 1984, though his works (including Mormon Doctrine first published in 1958) continued to be widely influential in the movement and only went out of publication in 2010.
"Don't think about it," the unspoken rule, just rest on the burning in the bosom. Thanks for saying it out loud, I've always thought this disinclination for reason was basic in Mormonism. So glad this guest has come out of that religion into the perennial truth. Also glad to hear about his steps toward sacraments and sacramental marriage. And: I never heard this particular path into the Church, that it was logically either Mormon or Catholic, and that rested upon whether there was a Great Apostasy--love this unique spark! God is good.
Such a great podcast! Praise the Lord. I'm a new convert myself, from 52 years as a Protestant! I came into full communion with Mother Church last November 5th!
Praise God! Welcome home!
Welcome Home !!
Welcome Home.
Welcome home 🙏❤️
Hurrah for you, and welcome to the Catholic Church! May every blessing be yours!
Wow this is very similar to my journey. I was raised Mormon, married in the temple, 4 kids. Got divorced. Got excommunicated for similar reasons. Married my girlfriend and became Catholic 13 years ago. I also have pioneers in my family. My family is still active in Mormon Church but I have found peace with the Catholic Church. Not anti Mormon but for me I feel closer to God as a Catholic.
Wow!
I was born and raised Mormon for 18 years, with pioneer ancestry, and was baptized Catholic in the same state as my ancestors became Mormon, Indiana. (In the Southbend-Fort Wayne diocese like Sean had his LDS mission in). Wonderful coincidences.
Not anti Mormon? Good save....
How do you square the Catholic stance on the validity of even non sacramental marriages and your previous marriage? Did you get the modern easy annulment? Did your previous "wife" not understand until death do us part? Contrary to popular belief the Catholic church takes non sacramental marriage seriously. The way we drop the ball on marriage hurts me deeply.
@@jackdaw6359Paul discusses this in his Epistles. Non sacramental marriages outside the church can be severed.
I can relate to his experience with St. Peter. This past January I reverted to Catholicism. And I one day, out of nowhere, I received this visceral, full body, sense of understanding and compassion for St. Peter, because I committed the same betrayal of Our Lord after I promised it was something I'd never do. I've learned to never say never. Thank you for sharing your story and welcome to the Faith!
Thanks for sharing your experience! And thanks for heeding the call to come back home!
gmacch... you are so correct..
That's understandable, Peter was in no way perfect. In fact, after Jesus promised him the keys of the kingdom and said upon this rock I shall build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, Jesus turned around and called Peter...Satan. In the Greek text, the gates of hell are referring to the gates of Hades which is the land of departed spirits. Christ was not implying there would be no apostasy, because frankly, Paul and the others even said there would be, but he was saying death could not prevail against the kingdom, which is true because Christ overcame death on resurrection morning. In any event, John the Apostle was Peter's Apostolic successor, not Linus or the other bishops of Rome. That was just a made-up story several centuries after the fact. The Pope didn't even attend the council of Nicea, it was all conducted by Constantine.
never base Truth upon a feeling friend - catholicism isn't Christianity and Scripture is clear about this fact.
@tony1685
Catholics are the ONLY Christians. All others are heretics, period. Holy Scriptures (NOT the chopped-downed Protest-ant version!) are much clearer than you apparently are aware of.
YOU, sweetie, are a heretic. Pull your head out and STUDY.
I am a cradle Catholic who was LDS for 19 years .. but the last few years I was active, I just kept feeling that the plain and precious that was lost was the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist that came with the reformation and the restoration by Joseph Smith. Both seemed to be the actual Great Apostasy by separating God’s people from the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit prompting me continuously about the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist that I had to leave the LDS church and return home to the Catholic Church in March 2022.
Amazing! Welcome home!
@@DrewTheCatholic Thank You ! I was such a clueless Catholic Church.
For me it really hit me in this interview when he recalled the promise that Jesus made to Peter and how his church would withstand Satan. I feel the same way. It is hard to accept a great apostasy and also give credence to Christ’s promise to Peter. It’s one or the other and I chose the same path. Welcome home to all of us.
Even saint Peter lost his faith at one point.
,. jesus is the main central figure of bible,didn`t agree with me we have find a bible with his name,where does jesus talked about trinity.
Sean was in my RCIA classes for my confirmation. We had brief convos, cool to hear his full story!
Awesome! It was a pleasure interviewing him. Seems like you all have a strong parish and great religious ed programs!
@@DrewTheCatholic yes it is very good program, very well taught. St. Thomas the Apostle is a great parish in phx.
@@DrewTheCatholic how do you reconcile the Bible with the fact that catholicism mandates sin?
Congrats!! I grew up LDS too, journeyed through Protestantism, I’m now an Anglican minister, and currently discerning the Roman Catholic Church.
I’m so happy to hear that you are discerning the Catholic church at this time. I used to visit the episcopal church across the street from me when I was on my way to becoming Catholic. What I could never get out of my head was how the Episcopal church started, I mean the Anglican church. It was founded upon murder and adultery, was it not? I could just never shake its foundations from my conscious awareness, and it bothered me. I couldn’t find rest there. Anyway, Marshall Taylor was also an Anglican minister who became Catholic. You might find his podcasts very helpful on TH-cam. God bless you in your journey of faith.
We will welcome you to Christ Church ⛪️
Welcome home brother from a former pentecostal-protestant, enjoyed hearing your testimony.
Powerful testimony! What a cool moment when he stood at the tomb of St. Peter. Praise God.

Amen !
The same thing happened to me in the Holy Land in Jan. 2020. I was a cradle Methodist and now am Catholic 🙏
Welcome home and God bless you and your family 🙏
Welcome home bro,i'm your least bro from phils..your testimony gives a firm comparison to catholics that lefts and went to diff.tenets.
I was a Methodist too. I am so thankful and graceful to be a catholic now.
Thank you so much.
I was born and raised Catholic in Belgium, than I was in the Mormon Church for 36 years and since a short time I am again believing in Catholicism.
How fantastic this is!

Excuse me ??
@@AdaraBalabusta🤦🏻♀️
I as well was called out of the mormon church to go home to the catholic church. so much peace and rest. so blessed to be a part of the Lords one true church
Praise God!
I am Catholic from one of the first Christian lands to receive the Good News through the great Saint James the Apostles. So my family blood lines from both sides are Catholic for over2000 years and our Father in faith is Saint James. I never had any devotion to Saint Peter. I went to Rome 5 years ago, went to the tomb of saint Peter situated under the Basilica, when I came out from that dark, humid stuffy place into the sunlight I felt a true love and understanding of our dear father Saint Peter.
Drew stated in his interview at some point that this man’s conversion was almost mystical rather than intellectual. Mine was like that. I was an anti-catholic Protestant, but one day I found my way to a Blessed Sacrament Chapel in my city where things were quiet and I could pray. I did not know that the tabernacle in front of me contained the Real Presence of Christ in the consecrated hosts. I was alone in the chapel after someone had let me in, and kneeling on a kneeler. The Holy Presence in that room was so palpable that I began to weep like a baby, got off the kneeler and knelt on the floor, just crying and crying. Nobody but nobody could convince me from that day until today that Christ was/is not really present with us in the Eucharist. Matter of fact, every time I set foot in a Catholic Church, I sense his holiness there. I never have had that same experience walking in to any other church building. I speak here of Protestant churches. Anyway, thank you for this video. I have many extended family who are LDS, and this gives me hope to keep praying for them. I hope nobody gets mad at me for saying that I find their theology of God quite disgusting. Especially when they claim that Jesus is somehow brothers with Satan. How in the world can this possibly be?
His conversion reminded me of former Sen Newt Gingrich who converted to Catholicism after visiting St.Peter’s tomb!
i didnt even visit st peters. i was home watching pope john pauls funeral on the tv & they were talking about peter & pauls bones being underneath & then they were talking about the special slippers the recently deceased pope was wearing and they showed his feet with the slippers on & everything just clicked. i called my best friend pamela who was catholic and told her that i had to become catholic. i was shocked when she said thats abgreat idea i am so happy for you
@@earthgirl369 there were many conversions, during JP2 funeral,including 3 generations of Mormon families from Utah .Welcome home,btw!

Was he a Mormon at the time or was this after he found the Church Christ founded through Saint Peter?
@malkiyahu if your Minister tells you that your Mom is having an extramarital affairs with a lesbian woman ,Im sure you will believe your Pastor in a heartbeat ,without fact checking . That LIE you mentioned has been debunked million of times,including by their daughter ! They were already separated even before she was REhospitalized Unfortunately ,there is no Cyber Libel in this country .Otherwise ,you should be sued for defamation .Hopefully ,in the future ,we should have ,as people like you ,who are a menace to this society should be punished for besmirching one's reputation!
@@WatchingwaitingG2D truth hurts .it was featured in fox news channel before. When i went to provo utah.there were two groups of mormons ,one family who were asking the Priest about the Eucharist and one young couple who were in a hurry to get to the pew as they didnt want to miss Mass.i can tell right away that they were Mormons . Many intelligent Mormons have became Catholic already ,including a Harvard professor ,who were mocked by Mormons like you and called him dirty names here on YT. Truth hurts .Mormonism is a Cult and their Missionaries are business agents . They see future $$$$ in every prospective convert.mormons CANNOT enter their temples if they dont tithe! Thats a big business out there.thats why a devout mormon who was featured on “60 mins” left your cult as he learned that he was used as an instrument to defraud the govt .your cult was fined $$$$.truth hurts! you need to study ancient christian history and your beloved joseph smith bio and how he founded your cult!
I've heard of so many who left the LDS church and not only turned their backs on the church, but on God and Christ as well (some embracing atheism ). This story is so uplifting because Sean continued to hear, listen to and follow the promptings of the Spirit and he didn't turn his back on Jesus Christ. I feel so very happy for him!
Yeah, it's sad some people leave our church and never church again... become atheist and what not.
Thank God for the Roman Catholic Church the church for sinners like me.
catholicism is antichrist, friend - please open the Christian Bible for this proof.
I am so happy for you and welcome to the Catholic Church
I grew up Mormon. I have been going to Mass for months now and have just started RCIA. ♡

Thank you... the best conversation I have listened to for a long time. I am absolutely so pleased for you and share the joy that you experience in this beautiful TRUE FAITH journey into the Catholic and Apostolic Church!

So many ex-Mormons are becoming Catholic. It's amazing!
I am happy to see that too, but there are tons of Catholics (usually Hispanics) becoming Mormon or evangelical Protestant where I live. Same with Pacific Islanders. Even some from Africa.
It's not because of their love of God. It's because the Catholic church is way more lenient on alcohol
Not as many as the number of ex-Catholics who are becoming Mormons though.
@@BrianTerrill Do you sometimes think some of the Mormon converts are for economic reasons and to come to the US or get across the border and work or attend the BYU?
@@violette4841 for economic reasons sometimes yes, for easy immigration or to attend BYU not so much. Why if they are Catholic, would they want to become a Mormon to attend BYU when Catholics have Notre Dame and around 200 other colleges to choose from in the US?
People join the Catholic church for economic reasons too.
I wouldn't use the term "convert" on everyone who gets baptized and joins the church though, there are a lot who join for phony reasons and may become converted over time or may eventually reveal their true colors and stab the church in the back. I've noticed a lot of people who have "joined" lately are pro LGBTQ and really have no intention of accepting the churches standards as much as they think they can join to pervert the gospel.
The more you know church history and visits archeological sites, the more you're confident that you belong to the true Church that Christ established. God bless..🙏
Exactly! Amen to that.

@@tony1685 That's what Ellen White, the SDA's prophetess to which tony1685 belongs, taught. White's teachings are viewed by the adventists like Tony as holy like the bible. Poor guy, only pride is keeping him from leaving his false church. He is doomed.
@@DadoMac how about we focus on Scripture my friend??
the Word of our Creator is what made me leave catholicism - don't you care for His Word?
@@tony1685 We Catholics care for His word, Tony, the problem is- when you cite the scriptures, you infuse the interpretations of the false teachers like Ellen White and insist that their interpretations are the word of God! And even as confronted with biblical verses that contradict your point, anti-catholics like you would cite another verses form different parts of the bible which do not necessarily support the issue. Your sect insist on the old testaments' Saturday. Jesus said, I am the Lord of the sabbath.
I'll give you the best example:
"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you."
"THIS IS MY BODY!" Did you understand that, Tony? The bible even cited the people around Jesus, who like you could not take what Jesus had said! He didn't bother to call them back! He even dared his apostles "you too, you want to turn away?"
I bet you like all other sects, will cite different verses just to contradict what the Lord had said.
Remember Tony, not everyone who call Him Lord will be saved. He categorically declared that "If you do not eat His flesh, you have no ;life in Him.
You and your fellow SDAs are doomed.

I am a mormon who became Catholic last year and there was years that I could not feel right with the Mormon church going back to my 9th grade seminary I had my mother move me out because it just bothered me and I sat in the vice principal office the rest of the year. And then I became an Elder and babetised my youngest brother and you could see the look on my face in the pictures that day I felt horrible for doing that. And I never went to church for 50 years until both my parents passed and I about died of Covid but the great thing is I married a Catholic and 1 day I started going to Mass with my mother in Law and my wife and there was such a feeling you new you are there to worship Jesus and are Lady and even in the church you feel that at Mass. The Mormon church there was to many things that bothered me like baptize the dead you wake threw a Mormon church and the only thing that you see that you worshiping Jesus Christ is the name on the front of the church there is never a picture of Jesus or any just the name on the front of the church. This becoming a Catholic is the greatest thing I have ever done and I am 70 years old know. The most devastating thing about the Mormon church is the day my only child was married in the Mormon church and me and my wife could not attend her services and I new that day the Mormon church was so wrong. The Mormon church to me growing up it was like a local recreation place because all your friends were there and the Boy Scouts was a big deal but it is different know I think than when I grow up and I was raised in Salt Lake , Utah.
I'm so sorry you both had to miss your daughters wedding, I'm surprised that despite the title JCLDS, there are no forms of Christ within.
So every LDS church I have ever been in has many pictures of Christ. Not sure how my experience has been so different than the OP
I was at a funeral a month ago and I walked thrue the whole church and could not find 1 picture or reference to Jesus . I have seen some in some back hall way but not the it should be.@@scottie2597
@@bernadettekavanagh9984there are pictures of Christ all over inside the LDS churches. Sounds like this gentleman hasn’t been in a while.
@@bernadettekavanagh9984there are no forms of Christ within? How about you attend one and then tell me if you still believe that.
I am a catholic because of the ff reasons
.1. Jesus said to Simon /Peter..one of his disiciple...You are Peter , the rock i will build my church..and Peter was the ist pope ..our leader of the cath. faith . 2. When Jesus had the last supper with his disciples...He raised the bread and said..this is my body..eat of this. etc..then he raised the chalice with wine..drink of this all of you for the forgiveness of sins...Do this in memory of me...catholics..have mass..Obey what Jesus commanded. 3. Catholics...honor and venerate Virgin Mary..as our heavenly mother..Jesus endorse her to us...when he said to John. JOHN .this is your mother....
none of that is Biblically accurate, friend. after 35 yrs of listening to these lies, i can now debunk them with Scripture.
catholicism hates God and mandates sin.
Thank you for sharing your conversion story, brother. GOD works in uncountable numerous miraculous ways!!!! Welcome to the only BODY OF CHRIST. and you are really and truly a member now, brother ❤️.
What a joyous conversion! welcome home dear brother in Christ.
I am so happy for you. As a lifetime Catholic my soul rejoices for your conversion. Hope we meet in Heaven one day when our journey here is over. God Bless
My husband and I keep you in our prayers. Both of you in this video and your families. Our son was Catholic and turned Mormon. What possessed him to do such a thing is beyond us! Very devout our son in the Catholic church. But fell in Love with a Jack Mormon he called it. So he stated he would still be catholic. We knew there is no such thing.. We feel he was pressured by his wife. And the Mormon church. So please keep our son and his family in your prayers.

@@elizabethking5523and the First Fruits to Pentacost/Shavuot
Show Low...Nutrioso, Eagar, Alpine...as an Arizona native of 70+ years, it is fun to make this connection with you. I live in Phoenix Metro and had many Mormon friends in high school. They set up LDS lessons for me. My mother, very loving and wise, insisted that they teach the lessons at home where she could be a part of them. Her gentle questions in those meetings gave me pause. Over the summer, I read a well-known book on the history of the LDS church, and I lost my interest/faith in the Mormon faith. College? I settled into agnosticism, just short of atheism. Basically...disinterested in God and faith. Forty years later, and in a surprising encounter, I met God...then Christ...then Christians. This many years later, I thank God for my Christian faith, a grateful Catholic. What a blessing to hear your faith journey!!! God bless you and your family today and in the years to come.

I used to be married to a Mormon. Spend many hours in the LDS church. Loved the people but I could never grasp their theology. It felt so off. Then a friend took me to a Catholic Church and the first thing I realised was that it was all about Jesus. I had up to that point heard the talking about Jesus once. And that was in Sunday school for converts.

@@ModernLady it can be - but that doesn't make it Christian.

@@tony1685 You think Catholics don’t love Jesus? You can’t have met many. Ever seen a nun or a monk devoting their entire lives to Jesus? Priests giving up families so that they can invest everything in Christ’s church? Catholics spending hours praying in front of the tabernacle every day. Going to church everyday to receive Jesus like he commanded. Starting hospitals so that they can love people like Jesus loved.
Catholics adore Jesus.
@@ModernLady i was catholic 35 yrs and of course there are some who do. problem is, the 'church' doesn't teach nor allow it.
there are many, many catholics who love Christ , but sadly don't follow Scripture. note what John 14:15 clearly states.
now realize that their 'church' can't have this. for example:
Ex 20:4-6, they still make and bow to idols, statues and body parts.
Ex 20:8-11, they are a day late. the Lord's day is the 7th day Sabbath.
God doesn't want sacrifice, He simply wants our obedience to His Word of Truth - John 17:17
catholicism doesn't want such - it's of Satan, not of God.
i do hope this is making sense to you Ma'am.

That’s because the proper place of worship on Sunday is Sacrament Meeting, where the Eucharist is administered.
@joshgardner5887 regarding the statement that "The place to be on Sunday...and receiving the eucharist"; is opposed to the Truth. No person has the power to transform the bread into the Holy Eucharist is a Catholic Priest. The authority Christ granted Peter by giving him the keys to Heaven and His Church are solid and everlasting. By virtue of laying on of hands using the authority by an ordained Bishop, ( the rank of the Apostles of old), can a man be ordained a priest. You cannot go to some school, get a degree in divinity and magically have the authority to command the bread and wine (not grape juice) to become the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. What you receive in your meetings is not the Eucharist. Sorry, but it's only symbolic. "Unless you eat My Body and drink My Blood, you have no life in you" words of Christ to the multitudes. Many left Him, but He never called them back telling them not to take His words literally, that it was only symbolic. Your wafers and grape juice remain wafers and grape juice. Lifeless.
If you went within the last couple of years, it's closed because there is major construction going on. Once that's completed it will be open again.
@@FaithCrisisSurvivor I think the point is, there is no gate keeper to where God dwells. Have you ever pondered the wedding at Cana? No one needed a temple recommend to attend. Unfortunately, that is another tool the LDS church uses to weigh on peoples’ hearts to get them to join the church or reactivate. After my eyes were opened (about a year after returning to my Catholic faith) I was so angry at myself for shutting out everyone who loved me when I got married in the temple.
@@catherinemcdavid1533 I'm sorry you had a bad experience. The wedding at Cana was not a sealing. The temple is more like Mount Sinai. Moses could ascend the mountain. Some of the elders could come within seeing distance. But the rest had to wait at the foot of the mountain.
Always receive Our Lord on the tongue, kneeling.

Thank you Bro for all of these. Great job!
Dr. Taylor Marshall was an Anglican priest who also experienced an instant conversion to Catholicism upon visiting St. Peter’s tomb at the Vatican!
Amazing! Welcome to Catholicism!^_^🥳🥂❤
Welcome home Sean! Will keep you in my prayers!
Love conversion stories . Welcome to Catholicism 🙏❤️
hurts my heart, since catholicism isn't Christianity.
I can pull the rug from under the Catholic claim of authority from Peter with 2 facts:
Fact 1:
Most Catholics don't even know who Pope #2 is (St Linus)
Fact 2:
The Apostle John, according to Catholic tradition, outlived the first 4 popes, and it is his writings, not the first popes that were counted as scripture after Peter died, showing he was Peter's successor not Linus.
Great interview -
Gos bless you I really enjoyed hearing this wonderful story of a modern faith journey !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Welcome. I am so happy for you.
Welcome home to the Catholic Church.
Wow! Thanks for this video
Amen!! Welcome to the Beautiful Catholic Church!
Welcome home Sean.
He talks about “knowing” this is true, so tell him to be aware of the dark night of dark night of the soul, where God will test that because we do need to walk in faith, even as Catholics. I had a spiritual supernatural conversion, and I KNEW. If it wasn’t for a very precious priest who could explain to me what was happening, the very night I was confirmed something happened to make me question what I KNEW, I would have left. Saint Teresa of Avila had a dark night of the soul experience, now twenty years later I am again experiencing His Holy Presence for six months, I’ve not felt since my induction into the Catholic Church.I never left and I know I have been more proud of being in Christ’s Holy Apostolic Church than anything for all those twenty years.
As an FYI my relatives had to wait many years to enter this country legally. That's not a reason to allow for illegal immigration.
Very interesting story of your journey to put the icing on the cake. Have you ever experienced the traditional Latin mass? I went from a Novus ordo Catholic to becoming a traditional Catholic and I found it extremely rewarding seeing that the Novus ordo unfortunately doesn’t have the same beauty and strength if I could put it simply that way, that’s the traditional Latin mass which has been around for more than 1500 years while the Novus ordo is only been around for the last 60 years. Just a thought I don’t wanna rock anybody’s boat but for me to tell him I find it extremely rewarding. God bless.
‘Traditionalist’ rhetoric is not helpful. There is no evidence for a Latin sacramentary or rite as we know as the Tridentine form being earlier than 300-400s, and more likely that local apostolic churches in union with the Roman Church had their Eucharistic liturgies in their vernacular which later were preserved in the various rites from the Greek, and this includes the Latin and later on the Gallican rite and so on. But the specifics of the Eucharistic liturgy has always been true to their respective apostolic origins. We have evidence of these sacramentaries and their feasts down to the present, among the Catholic rites, and also among the Orthodox, where there is no doubt about the historicity of their usage. This does not mean that the Latin Church never changed the expression of its liturgy or that the Eucharistic canons of one rite is historically ‘superior’: all authentic Eucharistic liturgy is firstly Christ’s own offering to the Father, not one or another of us doing what only He alone does. So to insinuate that the Latin Rite in the vernacular is any less substantial in any form is judging it from its external expression and elements. True, I agree that the Latin Rite in the traditional form is edifying, beautiful, rich, and draws one into the mystery of the Eucharist which the expression of the vernacular seems ‘pedestrian’ but I would not recommend to any Catholic to subscribe to a view of the Rite as an ideological preference, whereas as a preference of sorts is consistent with the Catholic view of the validity of all apostolic rites within its unity of faith maintained by the bishops in full communion with the bishop of Rome. 😊
Great response. Also worth mentioning the NO is not the first sweeping liturgical reform in the church.
@@TyroneBeiron if you’re referring to the Novus ordo, which I understand you are if it’s a translation from the traditional mass, it definitely isn’t and for the last 60 years they’ve been playing havoc with the mass the late Michael Davies explains it extremely well if you read his books, I still pray for the pope you still will get my prayers but the way the church is being run. Unfortunately it’s on the rocks almost we’ve had ours problems in the past, so nothing is new under the sun but it’s coming were we may have female priests that is in a nova Sordo, not in the traditional mass, but a Novus auto and what unfortunately, Pope Francis is stipulating is not Catholic dogma call the same. you take care I know my history I know there’s been from the very early time. The mass originally was in the Hebrew and Greek eventually Latin was the norm because of the whole Roman empire use Latin it’s language that became the norm. Anyhow God bless.
@@DrewTheCatholic suggestion look up the mass of ages . And you’ll see a divergence there in the cardinal who started the ball, rolling with the change in the mass not saying I hate the Novus Ordo . I don’t. I pray that people will come to love the traditional Latin mass. That’s it a nut shell.
@@TyroneBeiron could you explain to me what rhetoric are you referring to? I’m not a Sede. Plus good that you know your history but if you’re not interested and understanding the arguments, then you get have given up anyhow, God bless.
Please pray for members of my family who are strong Mormons. Do I talk to them? How do I talk to them?
I very much appreciated the comment about the "unwinding" that I am experiencing as I learn about the Catholic faith. As a recovering Mormon, after 64 years of indoctrination in the Mormon theology and culture, I find that is no easy task. I'm in RCIA currently and have found much that is wonderful and easy to embrace, but I would be dishonest if I didn't say that my past learning makes a few things challenging, transubstantiation being one of them. Fortunately, I no longer feel alone on this journey, and have good support to help me get through it.
Check out the Eucharistic Miracles - Blessed Carlo Acutis. You will cry with joy!🙏🏼✝️🕯️
Please get a Catechism of Pius X or Baltimore Catechism, the RCIA instruction leaves something to be desired.
Best wishes on your journey!
There are many ways to be wrong about Christianity, but only one right way. Welcome Home! ❤️🙏❤️
God be with you !
Be vigilant and love the Lord .
Very interesting
I love conversion stories. Thank you for sharing you story. I can relate to some of your story.❤️😊🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching!
Welcome Home! ❤
Welcome Home !!! God love you ❤
Mr. Noble I am so happy for you in many ways. I am a Catholic who just returned to the Church after being estranged for almost 55 years. I have been in AA for 35 year and do have a believe in God. Unfortunately I felt like something was missing and it weighed on my heart and soul for several years. Three weeks ago I met with a local parish priest and we had a long talk ending with him hearing my confession. I received the Eucharist this past Sunday and feel like I returned home. I no longer feel like I have a hole in my soul. I so want to make a pilgrimage to the Vatican and see St. Peter's Basilica, but I'm disabled and in a wheelchair and rely on oxygen, so that pilgrimage will not happen. Sean Noble welcome home.
Welcome Home !
🙏💙
Praise be to God 🙏
17:30 - when he talks about the scripture "upon this rock I will build my church" coming into his mind: This scripture may have come to mind because he was required to memorize it as a mormon seminary student in the late 1980s.
Yes, learned it but never thought about it until he stood in front of the traditional burial place of the rock.
Coincidentally, Pierre is the French language name for Peter and the French word for rock is pierre.
@@Kitiwake It’s not coincidental. Both come from the Greek word Πέτρος.
Hello you too. Beautiful conversation. I enjoyed it, although in the general i think there were some few maybe couple ofdisingeneous Comments. But mostly it was good. Love the host"s even keeled voice, it puts one at ease. Got a question for the guest, don' t you get asked about your conversion being an end result of being excommunicated as opposed to being let into truth? What would you answer to that? Thank you and God bless both of you.
I think seeing changed people is the most interesting thing there is...
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Praise our Lord Jesus Christ🙏
Clarification regarding the statements at 8:40 - McConkie died in 1984, though his works (including Mormon Doctrine first published in 1958) continued to be widely influential in the movement and only went out of publication in 2010.
Bruce R. McConkie taught my generation to not have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Welcome home
What a very nice guest..Really enjoyed this chat..
Glad you enjoyed it
welcome and enjoy the faith!
"Don't think about it," the unspoken rule, just rest on the burning in the bosom. Thanks for saying it out loud, I've always thought this disinclination for reason was basic in Mormonism. So glad this guest has come out of that religion into the perennial truth. Also glad to hear about his steps toward sacraments and sacramental marriage. And: I never heard this particular path into the Church, that it was logically either Mormon or Catholic, and that rested upon whether there was a Great Apostasy--love this unique spark! God is good.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it valuable.
Viva Christo Rey! Laus Deo, Deo Gratias 🙏✝️❤️
Great video!
