      Please be wary of fundamentalism and intolerance in your practice of faith. My family has decades of Catholics have no issue with birth control, or the ability to conceive children in whatever manner is possible. Even the pope admits that there’s some aspects of Catholicism that need to be modified to adopt a changing world. No one should be forced to stay in a miserable abusive marriage. A good priest will admit the same, they certainly wouldn’t want their own family to be in miserable marriages or childless because they felt it would make them a lesser Catholic.

    Thank you for sharing :) I’m a Protestant woman wanting to become Catholic and it is a very lonely road. Praying for community with other ladies. I’ve been unable to have children and am not getting any younger and a touchy subject that has come up with many of my family members has been IVF. They all see it as fine and good and I’ve never believed in it even when I was a evangelical. It’s also hard because sometimes people think you are bringing condemnation if you are against it. I’ve always felt it is playing God. I just hope there can be more compassion for women and men who are infertile. I believe if it is God’s will, it will happen and if not, God still has a plan for our life. It is tough though when you desire it and you don’t share that commonality with others

    As a young lady preparing to join medical sch so many years ago, I was introduced to yoga with a promise to enrolling me into an American uni.
    At some stage, I was asked to bring a candle, handkerchiefs and told to repeat certain words....instead I prayed the Hail Mary, Our Father and trashed the hankie I had been told to keep forever....

      I'm 67 and feeling the pull to go back to the church. I've been gone for over 3 decades. I had a very bad experience with a priest (not abuse, but lousy advice) and I have not wanted to even try again until recently. It's going to be hard to do, there are some things that will have to be "mopped up" and I'm honestly afraid that it may not get cleared up. But I can't go on without it.

    I was raised in new age household, I was having demonic attacks from the devil, then because of mercy of God I became catholic, it was a real struggle, because then the demonic attacks got worse because the more close I was to God, the more were the evil spiritual realm against me. Now I try to live like a catholic woman, I still suffer from some kind of demonic attacks but my Mother in heaven, the blessed Virgin Mary always helps me. I know from my own experience how much the devil hates rosary. Keep praying the rosary! Her immaculate heart will triumph. Especially if you or your families were involved in new age stuff. Mary is the one who crushes the head of the serpent. I felt like I should share this little testimony. Have a blessed day ladies❤

      You can bless your home with Holy Water all while praying the rosary or the St. Michael, "I bless my home in the Name of the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit" . Sprinkle the Holy Water in a cross shape in 3's with the Sign of the Cross. Go out every door, bless the thresholds, the doors, every corner of every room. Claim your home for Christ Jesus.

      The Holy Mother is such a good Mama to us!!! I was a New Ager too, for 30+ years, and I know exactly what you mean re: demonic attacks once you try to pry yourself away from all of it and enter the Church. I always felt consoled, though, because I heard a priest say once that if Satan knows you're his, there's no reason for him to attack you. It's when he feels like he's losing his grip on you that the attacks become more vicious. The Rosary is the greatest spiritual weapon we have, according to many of the great saints.

    You explain things so well, Heather! I was a cradle Catholic, then joined a Protestant (Calvinist/Reformed) church for several years. While there were some really nice people there and some good things taught, God was tugging at my heart the entire time. I knew deep down something just wasn’t quite right. I would go home in tears because the pastor would preach so many misconceptions about the Catholic faith during his sermons. I would try discussing those with him or the elders and had resources to show to them that what they were saying wasn’t right, but they just didn’t seem to want to listen. It’s sad because so many congregants were being told things about our faith that just were not true. I started praying more than ever and knew I needed to go back to the Catholic Church. I missed receiving the Eucharist, going to confession, praying the rosary, etc. And also just the beauty, richness, mysteries and all of the graces and sacraments there. Having visited and attended several Protestant churches, not just the Calvanist church, I can say there's just nothing that compares. Also, my parents has been praying for me to come back the entire time! I never knew that until recently. So thankfully, I came back to the church six years ago. I met with my priest who was so welcoming, kind and helpful and I had my first confession in years. It was a very teary but very healing, beautiful two hours. And actually, your videos helped prepare me to go back to confession when I had kind of forgotten how to so it - so thank you!! I’ve never looked back and my relationship with God and Christ have never been stronger. I then met the man God intended for me to marry two years later. We married in my childhood parish and he has been just amazing. My husband has helped so much and has been wonderful and loving. That said, I think God also brought us together because we are so opposite in many ways and it’s really made us grow and trust God and become more and more selfless. We pray together every day and I learn about new saints all the time. We love going to adoration together and reading our Bibles together. My husband's sister is a sister in a religious order and she has been a huge encouragement and prayer warrior as well for me. Mary is my role model for being a wife and mom, and it’s amazing to rest in her love. I missed that a lot when I was Protestant. There are times I feel guilt for being away for so long, but I remind myself I'm forgiven and to not let the enemy use that to discourage me. Saint Padre Pio has amazing quotes for that! Jesus was and is still with me this entire time, and receiving Him in the Eucharist now is just so incredible….. I love being a Catholic woman. I'm so thankful to be home again with Christ! God is good! 💜

      There is a thing about the Pope. The Pope is just a man/human. We are supposed to follow the 10 Commandments, Number 1 is we LOVE god. God is found in the WORD, scripture. We've had terrible Popes and Holy Popes but they should NOT "instill fear" or close the Fathers House/churches. This is NOT God's plan. "God is NOT a Man that He should lie."

      Congratulations on your new faith journey. to be honest with you, many Catholics know their faith but we will not live in the 16th century by not practicing birth control, and or staying in miserable relationships for fear of being a bad Catholic. No one wants to go back to the 14th century. So please be a tolerant Catholic, who understands that they are living in a modern world. I believe that Baptist feel that alcohol is from Satan? Well, let me tell you something, no Catholic believes that unless they’re alcoholics.

    Heather, I cannot begin to thank you enough for this video. I’m Catholic and I recently signed up for a yoga class with some college friends that starts next month. I thought that as long as I’m not having the intent of worshiping anything, it would be okay, although it was bothering me a bit. I didn’t bother looking into it to be on the safe side. Then your video came out. It really spoke to me and convicted me. I was going in to confession today anyway and decided to ask the priest about the class. I asked him if it’s okay to do the poses if you aren’t actually worshiping other gods.
    His response - “How can it be wrong to give the nazi salute in the middle of a synagogue if your intent is not racism?”
    Needless to say, I unregistered from the class immediately when I got home. I feel like I just dodged a bullet and feel so much better now! I believe the Holy Spirit was working through you to get that message out. Thank you! I will pray for you and this channel. Your sister in Christ ❤🙏

I have been made fun of for saying that yoga is dangerous…I remember when my youngest ( who is 15yrs old now) cam home from a Christian pre-school excited to share his experience with yoga at the school. I am sure they meant no harm, but I immediately explained to them that my son was not permitted to participate and that I felt very strongly about it. They were respectful and obliged. Thanks be to God.

      Truth be told, if you are Protestant and agree with Catholics then you are basically a Catholic and should receive confirmation and the Holy Spirit the way Acts of the Apostles describes with the bishop laying in of his hands to give you the seal of redemption. If you believe in the Sacraments and that Jesus is the Eucharist with the bread and wine becoming his body and blood then you are not a Protestant by definition because without the Sacraments us Catholics have nothing to sustain us with grace and give us grace.

      Hi, as a faithful Protestant for over 40 years and now a convert to Catholicism, I used to believe that we could be united. Please know that I don’t mean to offend but on this side of things, I understand why it’s not possible. We can be loving towards one another but will never be united as Catholics and Protestants. There is the Eucharist and all it is believed to be for these 2,000 years , that separates us. Worship is so vastly different in the Catholic Church. There is truth in Protestantism but not the fullness of the faith. As a Protestant I never understood that.
      I read the early church fathers and other books on Church history. The book that solidified my understanding was called, The Great Heresies by Hilaire Belloc and his continuation of that book, Survival and New Arrivals.
      Every Christian should read at least his first book.
      God bless you.

    I'm a Convert to the Catholic Faith and very interestingly my more famous fellow Protestant Convert *Scott* *Hahn* says that up until 1930 *all* Churches taught against artificial birth control but about 1930 the other Churches caved and *only* the Catholic Church stayed the course remaining adamant about the *no* artificial birth control rule✝️
    In fact Scott says that it was while his wife was researching on the Pro-life issue, whike they were still Protestants that they became convinced to stop* using artificial birth control understanding that blocking life was a violation of the Covenant with GOD ✝️✝️
    I have to say coming in from the outside that I *LOVE* being a Catholic! It's been the most beautiful and profound part of my Christian walk. I love that we have *Rules* to guide us so everyone isn't just making up their own stuff and creating chaos which isn't conducive to a deepening relationship with Christ.💙💙💙
    And the Rosary Prayer has brought such Peace, Joy, Hope and healing on so many levels that if for nothing but that I would remain Catholic and never waver✝️✝️✝️🙏❤️🙏💙💙💙

I told her I teach NFP, and she said, "So you don't use anything and can't know." I said "I'm on day 16 of my cycle and haven't had sex in 16 days."

    Thanks very much for sharing your informed and committed faith! Unfortunately, many Catholics are confused by our articles of faith and practice; I met a man in church today and I explained that I wanted to go to confession because I had fallen out of Grace so I couldn't take Communion until I had confessed my sin, and he looked as though he didn't know what I meant. I explained that to take communion while knowingly in a condition of mortal sin is ANOTHER mortal sin in itself, and he said "and I'm a Catholic and I didn't even know that!"
    To say that he looked stunned at that point is putting it mildly!
    My priest had explained to me that the requirement to abstain from Communion (which all true Christians ardently desire to partake of) while in a sinful condition reminds us to avoid falling from Grace, and I have really seen how this works! I very much want to take Communion, especially during Holy Week! God bless and protect you and your family!

    Totally agree on everything, I do the same. Especially NO yoga. Some of the postures depict nature but some are also meant to worship a deity, so in essence you would be breaking the very first commandment - “I am the LORD your God; you shall not have strange gods before me.” Also, as a Catholic woman, I don’t watch R rated movies or read books that describe sexual encounters or severe violence. Even some PG-13 movies can be a bit much - sad. I always remember that what our eyes see/read/hear, so does our Lords. I will not subject Him to that or Our Lady. Have a blessed day!

I notice pretty quickly if it´s something with bad taste. It is a bit like if you change your diet from trash, fast-food to a healthy diet of home-made food, you just cannot bare to go back to eat the fast-food anymore. It turns your stomach around. The same it is with everything from the world. Still we need to be understanding with those that do not have this fine calibrated instrument.

    I am a cradle Catholic and in my past was guilty of all of these things, and more. It was after I had my children and wanted to raise them in Christ, and started faithfully taking them to church, praying on a regular basis, reading the children's bible to them, trying to learn more about the Catholic faith, that I experienced demonic activity in our home that lasted for months. Hell is very real my friends. I had been following what the world told me was normal, but not what God wanted for me. It was a terrifying, but very eye opening experience, and I am grateful for it, as it has changed my life. I know that all things new age/occult are really trending right now like Tarot cards and the like, but please please stay away from these things. Look for God to guide you, seek him and ask him questions, build a relationship with him, not things like numerology, readings or the stars, not even when they are under the guise of "angels."

We already have 4 kids, so we thought we were done and the use of a physical barrier every now and again was fine. We were so distraught over the potential for having more kids at this point in our lives that we actually considered leaving the church. The next morning we woke up and both had the same feeling of calm seemingly out of nowhere. God had let us know that everything would be ok if we follow Him. And since then we have shifted our whole perspective on life it seems. It is a beautiful thing to take a step back and willingly participate in God's will.

    Amen! ❤ Thank you Heather for speaking the truth about yoga and the occult! ❤🙏
    I am not Catholic (yet?) but I can testify from my own experience with yoga.
    It is indeed a hindu worship ritual - no matter ones intention, it is very real.
    I had NO interest or intention for hinduism, I was just "innocently" dabbling in different kinds of new age practices that seemed "harmless" and "helpful", including yoga.
    I was not taking spiritual things seriously at all - I thought if I didn't "believe" in something, I would not be affected by it. How wrong I was...
    When doing yoga I suddenly became possessed by a hindu deity that I do not even want to mention by name - but what happened was I had what they call a "kundalini awakening". This is very dangerous, and even the hindu yoga gurus warn about this (and are probably shaking their heads at western clueless and reckless ways of practicing yoga).
    It happened very suddenly and lead me to "fall in love" with that demon-deity, longing to be united with it, having visions and mystical experiences with it, and finding myself looking up images of it for me to worship 💔
    Having had NO interest in it AT ALL before this happend!
    It was essentially a hellish kind of spiritual psychosis.
    But there was noone who could help me - the doctors and psychiatrists that I sought help from said I was not clinically psychotic, as I was completely aware of and in touch with reality, so there was nothing they could do to help me.
    I found a buddhist psychiatrist online who had experienced a "kundalini awakening" herself, who offered advice and knowledge and support... She said there was NO WAY to reverse this "process" and NO way to heal!!!
    Except - SHE DIDN'T KNOW JESUS!!!
    One day I found a testimony on youtube of a woman who had been experiencing demonic attacks, who had been rescued by Jesus! So, I tried calling on Him...
    Even though I didn't believe in Him - I was desperate to try anything!
    And... LITERALLY THE MOMENT I CRIED OUT TO HIM - HE CAME - and the demons literally vanished into puffs of smoke and were instantly GONE!!!
    From that moment my eyes were opened and I was overcome with awe and wonder...
    Suddenly I KNEW JESUS CHRIST IS GOD AND LORD OVER ALL - and - God is our FATHER!!!
    I was not alone anymore... I was protected and cared for by the God of the Universe!
    I may have experienced evil worse than I would ever had been able to imagine before it happened to me - but now I know that evil is NOTHING and it has NO power compared to OUR GOD AND LORD!
    For anyone reading this, PLEASE be careful, please be warned, but also, please DO NOT FEAR - just keep close to JESUS and rely on Him for everything, and you will be safe ❤🙏❤

    I enjoy your Catholic knowledge and your personality is so lovely. I am a cradle Catholic and go to mass every Sunday and sometimes during the week. However I love Yoga. I’ve been told this before by others parishioners. When I practice yoga I pray and thank God for giving me this body and mind to move and stay healthy. When I go to confession I think I will mention it and see what my priest has to say 🤔

I’m honestly shocked to hear her say this and it sounds incredibly fear based from the church’s rules. I know she’s genuine in her thoughts and coming from a devout Catholic perspective and I completely respect her opinion, but I will continue my practice of yoga because it fills me with loving thoughts and, to me, it brings me closer to Jesus. 🙏

      If you shop long around, you will always find priests saying yes or no to yoga. Most of the priests saying yes are not involved in the deliverance and exorcism ministry, where many poor souls are seeking help as an aftermath of yoga and other new age practices.
      Perhaps a better question to ask is: why such a great attachment to yoga? One of the cardinal virtues is prudence. Is putting our soul in danger worth momentary pleasure? Jesus said "follow me". Jesus also called us to die to self, any attachment, yoga or otherwise that prevents us from being 100% or that opens a door to evil is something to look at.

One day I want a family, one day I want to be able to start planning for a family but right now my mental and physical health being on birth control is far better than it is off of it.

      My SIL has PCOS as well and she uses Napro technology to help her hormones be more regulated. The pill just masks your symptoms-it does not fix anything. Allie Beth Stuckey had a great discussion recently with a health coach all about how toxic the pill is. Neither woman is Catholic but even they realize how bad it is for your body-not to mention spiritually.

    Heather, this video came at the absolute perfect time for me- my 10 year old daughter just asked me about the ouija board, and our discussion about that led to talking about yoga. After explaining why Catholics shouldn’t do yoga, I advised her that if she’s ever in a group setting (gym class, for example) and they are instructed to do a yoga stretch, she should not do that stretch, and say a Hail Mary in her heart. I’d be interested to know how you or others here would handle similar situations.

So he went up to the teacher and told him that for religious reasons he couldn't do that. The teacher accepted it (my mother had to write a note confirming it) and now while the other in class are doing yoga he was told by the teacher to do other exercises

I went in with my Cathechism of the Catholic Church and explained the reasons why they should not be engaging in it. They refused to stop, I had to tell my children to pray St Michael the Archangel prayer and then continue with their other prayers till it was done. After my children graduated, I was still volunteering, they added chymes and gongs.

      Exercise itself, for health is a good thing. It is the distraction, the psych deceptiveness that says, you need yoga as a way of life, it becomes more daily practice than any other, mind and body move together,so yea it can be anti catholic.
      But also a lot of things start out simple then gradually take a bigger role in your life , greater time devouted to self .. making it harder to detach . Can be extra anything.also just saying pilates is a little cultish . Could be socialize gossip culture thing from what I can tell . I don't know

The Lord Jesus in his word told us what was a sin and he will speak and correct us. The only way to heave is by accepting that Jesus came to earth died and rose again.

    I think you have a beautiful faith and I'm so grateful for that. As a devout Protestant Christian and the wife of a military chaplain for 30 years I did want to mention to you that there are millions of Christians all over the world that have deeply devout and devotional relationships with Jesus Christ without adhering to or even believing in Catholicism. Each of us practice our own spiritual and devotional disciplines, our own worship, adhere to holy communion, study scripture, prayer, fasting and service to others as well as personal sacrifices such as abstaining from something in particular for a prescribed period of time. We also adhere to the admonishments found in the scripture with regards to worldly behaviors and spiritual darkness. Examining our hearts and our motives daily is one that I rigorously adhere to. But as you pointed out, we are not ordered by the church to do these in any particular order or regiment. Contrary to one of your comments, it is pretty common for Protestant women to seek God in prayer when deciding on whether or not to have more children. It is wonderful that you believe so fully in Catholicism. It is clear to me that that is where God has placed you and your faith is an encouragement to so many. Thank you for sharing your truths. Although we don't have the same faith background, I deeply respect yours and want to encourage you in return to keep fighting the good fight. Thank you for allowing me the time to share this little bit of Protestant Christianity with you.

    Your background is so nicely set up. Very peaceful looking. I often have to do videos for school and my background is total chaos! LOL. It's just all my bookshelves and random stuff in my office. I don't bother with it at all or even try to make it look like anything. So, I just wanted to point out how nice yours looks. Also, 2 things. 1) The way that Moses describes himself in the Bible has led scholars today to believe that he likely struggled with stuttering. Yet, God called him to speak to so many about very important things. 2) I have been called to become a Catholic counselor, yet I struggle with hearing loss and am navigating around all that regardless because I believe I am going where God is guiding. We may never understand why we are called to the places God calls us to. We just keep following and trusting that He will get us there and show us how it is going to happen! I often find comfort in remembering the parting of the Red Sea. God led Moses and the Israelites there and then showed them HOW they were going to get across the sea. You are doing a great job! I converted to Catholicism in 2020 right after Covid-19 hit. Confirmation was set for April but due to Covid it had to be pushed back to May and it ended up taking place on the same day I had been baptized on in 1999. That was not anyone's doing but God's and I think it is totally awesome! So, long story short, You Got This! Keep up the great work!

    In my mid-twenties I started getting back pain. I started doing the Sun Salutation warm-up as a stretching exercise. It took two months before I realized that I wasn't suffering from back pain anymore. I didn't do any of the religious stuff(vegetarian diet, meditation, abstaining from sex, etc.). Like a lot of religions, they have levels and practitioners will ascend to the next level when they are deserving of it. Our Lord gives us salvation immediately then teaches us how to live properly (without sin) for the rest of our lives.

    I do heart rate training, pilates, barre and yoga. A lot of cooling down or stretching techniques I’ve done in non-yoga environments are very similar to if not exactly the same as in yoga. It’s worth trying but quite tricky or almost impossible to eliminate yoga components when it comes to fitness.
    One really has to know yoga postures to some extent or what it is to avoid doing it. If not, one may go to a fitness class, follow instructions and practice yoga postures thinking they’re only stretching. But if that’s the case, it’s not a sin due to the lack of willfulness.
