Thank you so much for this interview. I am a life long Catholic and I thirst more for Jesus and the Father. I live in a senior care home and I’m 84. Ever thing both of you said blew my mind. No one from St Ann’s Burch has visited me. Of course Covid was part of the problem but it brought many. To their knees. Thank you so much for your interview.
An God blesses you both. Much love 👨🏻🦼👨🏻🦼👨🏻🦼🙏🙏🙏⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥💥
What a wonderful, dramatic story! Rich Mullins experienced many of the same sins and challenges that Jeremy Rivera did in his journey to God and to the Catholic faith, but the difference was he was never allowed to talk so openly about about it, for fear of losing his fans. God bless you Jeremy, for your humility and honesty and for responding to God's will with such trust!
I love this ..holy spirit leads us into all truth
holy spirit doesnt lead you to pedophilr priests.
Thank you to you both!! I left Catholicism because of all the “rules” and there being no prompting to a personal relationship with Jesus. My time spent in evangelism (Protestantism) was for a purpose. I met Jesus there and I learned about the Gospel. I’m on my way back home. 🙏
back home to graven images. good choice.
@@peterzinya1are you accusing God of having graven images?!
@@peterzinya1what did God tell Moses to make? According to you (graven images)
@@peterzinya1that saying is true “Fr. Sheen’s preface has spoken to millions who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church. There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church”.
@@albanianprince01 im so tired of that lame excuse.
Thank you so much for your testimony Mr. Rivera! I’m so pleased that you said you were inspired by the witness of the great Rich Mullins! Your conversion story reminds me so much of his. Rich struggled with many of the same sins and vices and doubts that you mentioned, and he felt very unloved by his father, so he had great difficulty believing that God really loved him. In his concerts, Rich talked about many of the same things that you stated here. He had been attending Mass frequently and had decided to enter the Catholic Church the very weekend that he was killed. I have no doubt that Jesus received Rich into Heaven as a Catholic!
His getting kicked out of confirmation reminds me of my mother. I once asked my mother why she wasn't catholic. She knew exactly why. When she was a kid in catechism class she said that she didn't understand the trinity and asked for clarification. She was yelled at for blasphemy and sent home. She never went back. That was 50 years ago.
Thanks be to God... that I came across these shows!... How good God is to us! Thank you. I have been a convert for about 40 years and I praise and thank God for bringing me to the Catholic Church. I would wish for all the people in the world who hates the Church, the Pope and our dear Mother, to just take the time to listen to your Catholic friends, not to be afraid to make the time to listen as they tell you about what the Church believes in.... guys, you do not realize what you're missing! God is Truth and Jesus came to teach us the Truth and the Holy Spirit to remind us of all that Jesus said....
May God bless you🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🔔
I am so blessed that this program came to me tonight. Praise God!
I for one enjoyed all aspects of this interview and appreciate both men for taking time to share and helping us to grow into holiness and gain new understanding. God bless all that you do keep up the work.
I also humbly consecrate to your Most Sacred Heart, now and for eternity, the souls of any children or grandchildren who I do not yet know. I surrender them to Your sweet yoke and place them at the foot of Your Cross. I offer You for them the most loving Heart of Your Most Holy Mother Mary, which is more precious and pleasing to You than all hearts, and I beg You by her merits to show Yourself to them a Savior.
So edifying listening to you both .
In reply to things said starting at 13:25, if one pays attention at mass, the mass is the Gospel! Even if the priest gives a crap homily or none at all, just paying attention and participating in the sacred liturgy reveals the entire Gospel. Starting from the introductory rite, the penitential rite, the liturgy of the word, the LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST (the Eucharistic prayers), the concluding rite and the final sending (missa) the mass is a passion play expressing the Gospel.
AMEN!
True...In the old testament, he arc of the covenant had the presence of the God! It had
1. The mannah (the food from heaven)
2. Aaron's Rod ( representing priesthood)
3.10 commandments (Scripture)
The Holy Mass has the food From Heaven, The priesthood and the Scripture!
So true!Amen 🙏
I agree with other commenters. Interviewer always seems to interrupt when Jeremy is getting to the good parts. Jeremy seems to at least realize this and at times says “anyway back to what I was sayin…” However, other times interviewer is successful at taking him away from where he was going with his story.
A Big Kudos for both guest and host. Unity among the brethren is a Great Sign. We need one another at this time, possibly more than ever. It is my opinion that some who follow the Catholic way would be of great service if they express a little humility in their approach to Christians of different paths, receive them and accept them, so healing can occur. Protestants could benefit from humbling themselves as well, and be open to learn from the experience of the older paths, and even be open to change. Thought I'd share this. Peace.
The Holy Church gives us EVERYTHING we need for our Salvation: the sacraments, the teachings, the communion and prayers of the Saints, the Bible and above all a full knowledge of the person of Christ made freely accessible to all. So we are not alone on our path to salvation. Please, let us pray for the Church and for our priests.
Come, Holy Spirit, come grant us faith, hope and love. Ps 145:9, Jn 13:35
Jesus said: “This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
😇Jesus I trust in You!
3:27 in Saskatchewan . I am always excited to hear people’s conversion stories. As a former Protestant ( Methodist), I was and am attracted to the Jewish teaching and to the State of Israel and grew up watching the 67 war, Yom Kippur war etc!! On Tv and always was attracted to Judaism even as a child. The Judaism of the Hebrew Bible. I left Methodism, my moms beliefs and got involved with the worldwide church of god, a cult with Jewish beliefs but believed in Jesus, later I left and got involved with messianic Judaism but they seemed so Protestant in their beliefs and extremes. I found out I was baptized in the Catholic Church, my Portuguese ancestry was on my dads side. So I looked into the Catholic Church and saw the connection between the Old and New Testament and fell in love with the Church and Then I found out my Fathers side had Jewish ancestry from the Azores so I’m home!! I love the Catholic Church and the Hebrew Catholics I meet
I am 68 now and am so happy to really know the Lord
I like the content and format of the podcast but would love in the future show for the host to keep your cool and avoid the unnecessary interjections.
Maybe you should do your own show your own way lol
This is just how he does things. You'll get use to it. I really like hearing him speak!
I agree. Annoying and also disrespectful to the guest
My parents were missionaries with YWAM in the 70s, suffering for Jesus😀
My cousin is a full time YWAM missionary. She is an amazing evangelist. Only God has the answer why I have found the Catholic faith and she has not.
Wish u had interrupted him less😢
True! People are more in love with the understanding of God than God himself!
As Catholic Christians, today, more than ever, we have to know what we believe. Yes, indeed, we have to re-discover and learn the GOSPEL and the person of JESUS-CHRIST ! We have to clean our FAITH from all useless and false things that the world introduced in our minds! Let's be focus on FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY/LOVE and the teachings of the HOLY CHURCH
Thank you for sharing. God bless you
I love this conversation on so many levels, not least because of this emphasis on true relationship with God as essential to our faith life. As a parent and longtime catechist, I am working on a curriculum on just that topic, using the Ignatian examen as part of that pathway to relationship. I used this in a 7th grade confirmation prep class and the effects were noticeable.
I love your videos! Praise God for gifts like AI.
Praise God! Welcome brother to the true church
Thank You for this wonderful interview.... It clearly explains that the religious ethics or religious rituals of the Church donot earn us Salvation. But also I Noted that it is not a sin perfoming them. The problem is the motive behind the action.
A convert from Judaism, there is an old saying, "What the son wants to forget the grandson wants to remember." Which seems to parallel many who are not well grounded in the Faith, fall away into "more exciting" Protestant Churches, then rediscover the Faith. I also have received into the Church many former Protestants who have wandered around various Protestant sects, getting more and more Liturgical along the way. Some have described the journey as going from Oasis to Oasis, a place to rest and replenish their water supply in the desert, but when they came into the Catholic Church, it was no longer a stopover in an Oasis, but the city of their destination they never knew they were looking for.
God bless you always
Hi Chris,
I can imagine, you, an American, have never heard of Angelus Silesius. He was one of the great German poets. Even Wikipedia knows him. He was born in Breslau, now Wroclaw, convertet to the Una Sancta, named himself after that "Angelus Silesius", the Silesian angel / herald. He was a theologian and medical doctor. And in the German songbook there's some wonderful songs he wrote.
Great episode, once again!
God Bless,
Quintus
Jesus did judge… how many times did Jesus tell people to “go and sin no more!” Telling those people … I know your sins….Stop doing them. Too many people miss use “ don’t judge “ as to an acceptance of their sin. Jesus loves me as I am, and God made me this way. I’m saved… all my sins are forgiven, past, present and future… I do not have to be mindful of what I do ? Just sayin!
@@tonymcnosky6623 You just contradicted yourself. Jesus judges (asseses), forgives, and warns (admonishes) regarding future behaviour.
Thanks.

Before the Jesuits were more corrupted.
He looks just like Benjamin Bratt. I'm sure he's heard that a million times but honestly that's a compliment 😄
25:04 love this part
I’m a believer.
(30:00) The common paradigm is backwards: guiltily serving to earn love. Instead, let God love you, and THEN serve out of that Love.
Peace my knuckle head brothers
I wish you would let Jeremy tell his story instead of continuously interrupting him. I watched entire interview and have no idea why he went back to Catholicism. So maybe you need to change the title to "Chris Interrupts'.
But he answered and said unto them, "Why do you also transgress *the commandment of God* by your TRADITION?” Sun-day
{Matthew 15:3}
Oh, okay
Ah, yes they complain endlessly over this man. It’s his personality. We’re just a little bit brokenness and a whole lot of lovely.
Please try to calm down and resist interrupting your guests. Their words are from their hearts and you break into their words.
1 Yohanes 4:10,11 Inilah kasih itu: Bukan kita yang mengasihi Allah tetapi Allah yang telah mengasihi kita dan Yang telah mengutus anaknya yang sebagai perdamaian bagi dosa - dosa kita. Saudara - saudaraku yang kekasih, jikalau Allah sedemikian mengasihi kita maka haruslah kita juga saling mengasihi.
What happened to the baby???
I'm 65, I'm still waiting for GOD to talk to me and guide me. I'm just not waiting, I ROSARY, adoration, Mass, snd keep looking for HIM.. GOD acts like he dosen't want to be with me. Sorry to bother you if you think I am making this up. Don't worry, I don't expect to hear from anyone.
No worries, you are being heard. Ps 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God."
First of all, it’s not the “church’s“ responsibility to raise our children Catholic. From the first and having been reaffirmed multiple times by the magisterium, and the Saints, the primary responsibility of parents toward their children is to pass on the faith. If children do not know their faith, and if they do not get to know Jesus Christ personally, if they’ve never heard that Jesus loves then, that is the PARENT’S fault. And since the father is the spiritual head of the family, that responsibility falls squarely on his shoulders. Even in a broken family, the mother’s DUTY is to evangelize her children. But, most parents are either lazy about this duty that God has given them or they themselves are at best lukewarm in their faith, and so they slough this responsibility off onto “the church“. I grew up during a time in the Catholic Church, where religious education of any sort just fell to pieces. The textbooks in some of our “religion classes“ were actually protestant texts. Yet my entire family, and there are eight of us, NEVER left the faith because my parents took their responsibility before God seriously. We were catechized by our parents. They did not say oh well, that’s their Sunday school teachers duty or the priests duty. So let’s start there.
It is a big turn off for me when I go to a parish where that is uber “welcoming”, it is a serious turn off. Mass is NOT the time for fellowship, it is the time for WORSHIP. We have 167 other hours in the week to do fellowship, this one hour is for worship. Most parishes have some sort of fellowship after Mass, with coffee and doughnuts or similar, so that people can enjoy some time set apart specifically for fellowship. I have read the conversion stories of more than a few that specifically mention that one of the first things that drew them into the Catholic Church is the very fact that when they went into the church for Mass, no one made a fuss over them. No one ran up to shake their hand, no one was effusively friendly, no one tried to get them to join the church. There was no “cult of the person”. The entire focus was on worshiping God.
I believe thats one of the reason a lot of the Catholic leave the church its because they don’t feel welcome they don’t t have a sense of belonging . Sadly most of our Priest are not caring they don’t make you feel welcome
As a catholic I agree with that. I felt that way on a pilgrimage I went on. The priest wasn’t welcoming at all. You would think he would go around introducing himself or something but no he had his clique sad.
Iffff mother's non respective, must sisters respective then ? Getting freedom from responsible son butt must wishing enjoying wish with any another's girls or your sisters value are can see ? Use after abuse. Is respective relationship with provider's is only one and rest are only hungers And Bagger of wishing test for name of heaven or against of butt haven't solid path for self satisfy. Disturb or Q. Means anger of power are hidden opportunities.
I have never understood why it is a good thing to emphasize our commonality with Protestants.
Being raised Protestant, I always attributed my abandoning the faith to their incoherent conception of Christianity. They couldn't answer my questions. Isn't that harmful?
I think Evangelicals get painted with a broad brush, much like Catholics. When I came to St. Louis in the early 90s it was very much a Catholic city. No one knew their scriptures, everyone was a drunk, and people were what they call "C" & "E" Catholics. I did not know 1 person who took their faith seriously or knew anything about the bible, or even cared about Jesus. Fast forward and the broader Evangelical church is a mess as mentioned with the "cult personalities", book sales, "coaching"., caving to the culture, etc. The Catholic church is still reeling from scandal, and on every side major traunches of "Christians" are giving into the culture instead of remaining true to the gospel, let alone preaching it.
Having said that, at the local level, our pastors do not drive BMWs at my church, we feed the poor and serve, and we study the scriptures. I know and serve and love alongside many faithful Catholics. I am excited to see the laity rising up on both sides to reclaim a knowledge of the scriptures and obedience to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, fight for the unborn and our families, and live out the gospel. May the Lord continue to refine us all and lead us into redemptive glory because He is coming back for a glorious church and none of them are right now.
Chris, it's hard to listen to your guest when you breaking so much
Lets see how long he takes to start to question the catholic and in particular Pope Francis, the favorite target of new converts
Of course I’m offended when it is said Catholics have no relationship with Jesus. For me, from K grade catholic school when i was told the Eucharist is the body of Christ I really believed it. This relationship with Jesus was carried to this day. I’ve had a very deep relationship with Christ. These TH-cam videos often talk how dumb,ignorant Catholics seem to be. If I moved to evangelical circles like many Catholics do I feel like I would then trash Jesus, disavow God who has been so close to me after 65 years. Gee Catholics leaving the church are so stupid. It’s amazing. Catholics leave to be Mormons and JWs which are not Christian. Of course as a kid, or later one is not taught what one needs to know about Jesus, God, church. For this reason I studied on my own. Isn’t this what I am supposed to do?
Richard, you said that as a kid and later you weren't taught about Jesus, God ,church ...but if you were Catholic as a kid and later I'll bet you were taught about Mother Mary, and all the saints and what their specialties we're, and about sins and collection baskets....I left the Catholic Church at 59 yrs - have been born again 12 yrs now..family were in, now out of convent, priesthood...I had 14 yrs of Catholic education and until 12 yrs. ago not only didn't know Jesus, but had no clue about The Father and totally unaware of The Holy Spirit. I do not subscribe to ANY religion, I'm in relationship with my. Lord and Savior JESUS!!! I'm sorry to learn you're back in the Catholic religion. 🙏🙏🙏 God bless and be with you.
What does he think of the Panchamma Incan idol worship that took place at VATICAN AMAZON SYNOD October2019? Pope Francis and top RC leaders were present. The German Catholic church hasn't been reprimanded for LQBTXYZ blessings back in May 2021
Really interesting interview but like the others mentioned you need to stop interrupt your guests @ Chris 🥲
I cant believe the girl had the abortion!!! Very sad!!!!
God leads some people to be Catholics and some to be Mormons? I am 73. I went to "religious instruction". At Holy Family Church in Brooklyn, NY. Baptised, Communion, Confirmation. I never saw a Bible. I was instructed in the Catcheism. Times change. So has the Roman Catholic Church. Especially since Vatican II. 😉😇😎
Vatican 2 was a good thing
@@andreeattieh2963 Why was it a good thing? There are Catholics who strongly disagree.
@@owlnyc666 everything we Catholics believe in today was believed in by the early Christians and church fathers and the apostles themselves
Vatican 2 just confirmed everything Protestants disagreed with to be true that's when Protestantism started hating Vatican 2
@@owlnyc666 it was the implementation of Vatican II that was the problem, not the teachings. Read it. Very easy to understand but profound.
"There are many conversions in life.". Baby Joey is in heaven! 😇 All aborted babies are in heaven! 😇
grifters gotta grift
Whether Protestant Catholic Jew or gentile, are human?
If human are children by birth, should they not be children by death? Because death is birth to the other side & the earth is largest womb. He who CAUSE for the largest womb.
Child is a person who has the life of father even after mother's womb.
Child from the largest womb is a person who has the LIFE (Jesus - I am the LIFE) even after the largest womb.
With out the LIFE are aborted, take care.
God never provided any dress for hide of any dummy God. Is only for never outer feeling butt following self awareness for my real values are .
As they say "to each his own", but, for me, the Catholics sure seem to put two names way ahead of Jesus and the Father-----"Mary", as in "hail Mary" and of course "Catholic", ahead of "Christian". Years ago, I asked a Catholic I knew if he was Catholic or Christian--first. He said "Catholic" and you know, I believed him. Sure, he did not--does not, speak for all "Catholics", but still. And I will probably never forget all the times the "church" defended--even hid Priests who raped children--hid them, actively, not passively, actively hid them--moved them to other areas, the message chillingly clear. Just a few years back--in the news (you can look it up if interested), the Catholic authority announced in their graciousness, that children born out of wedlock with a Catholic priest as an unmarried father--get this, "did not need to be ashamed". Wasn't that wonderful for the Church to look the other way, to let these poor kids know they did not have to be ashamed? Wonderful folks those Catholic authorities. Soooooo, you could ahead and bless the day you found them. Or the day they found you, or however it went. You just can't expect the Protestants to keep up.
From protestant to Catholic you are still lost and never was saved how that for Christianity
Catholics are Christians period
I was a Muslim now I am born from above believer…I just want to say you guys are silly
Did you not learn anything from the Bible???
One follows Paul one follows Peter one follows James…on and on
Paul rebuked people who made pastors their God
I Am not a catholic anymore
Ohhh I am not a Protestant anymore
Ooohhh I am not a Christian anymore
Oooohhhh I just love love
Silly people…everywhere
Dumb as a door knob
This is the truth:
Jesus is my lord and savior
Jesus is my brother
Jesus is my king
Jesus connected us to the Father God
Jesus did not connect us to a mother figure…
Jesus did not connect us to rituals
Jesus commanded us to be nice
Love is patient love is kind = nice😊
How hard is it?????
So true. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life and not some so called authoritative organization like the Roman Catholic Church.

Flee from this idolatry
Flee also from the greed and ambitious pride of Evangelical Televangelists who rob people of their money so they can live like Kings!
We Catholics worship God and only God we are not guilty of idolatry
@@andreeattieh2963 then tell your pope and your priest and the laity to quit kneeling down to man made ceramic statues of Mary and dead saints and burning candles to them and saying pagan rosary beads in front of them. You said you only worship God? Jesus said when you pray say our Father. Not Hail Mary. And don’t give me this dulua or hyper dulua or latria stuff.
@@donthephoneman7084 where are prayer beads forbidden in the Bible
Lot bowed before Abraham was this worship Jacob bowed before Esau was this worship
Bowing before someone isn't worship look up the definition of the word worship
You clearly don't know what the Catholic church teaches
@@andreeattieh2963 read exodus 20 the second commandment. Thou shalt not make any graven image of things in heaven or things in earth , thou shalt not bow down to them: also bowing to someone out of respect. Is not the same as bowing down to a piece of ceramic and praying in front of this supposed dead saint. Also show me the rosary beads in the Bible. And please don’t tell me about when the angel Gabriel gave a greeting to Mary . When he said to Mary Hail Mary , you are highly favored. Blessed art thou among women. This was not a prayer. It was a greeting to inform her that she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus. No rosary beads.
Sorry to hear people leaving the Holy Spirit and his leadings and joining man made cults…Protestant or Catholicism or 7 day or jehova witnesses…
Why you people are so weak
Jesus Christ of Nazareth
Not saint Jesus
Peace… love you all
Peace and love to you.
"There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be" ...Fulton J. Sheen
If you look thru the layers and history of the Cathoilic church, you may find you agree with this statement. Search the history and you will find a trail that takes you all the way back to the days when Jesus walked on earth. You will find the path that takes you from where you are presently, all the way back to the upper room where Jesus and the disciples had thier last supper with Jesus. History books will show you the way there. Then, after you've made that journey through history, you can make a well informed decision on where you stand. The word Catholic, which means "universal",
is not in the bible; but neither is "sola scriptura". Check out history. We are all on a journey, and the destination for many is heaven. God bless you on your journey.
@@cacosta2929 brother God and Jesus want to have personal relationship with you..you just don’t want that…so you run to religions to escape him and his presence…
That is why Jesus said that people don’t want true relationship with him..

The foundation of jewidisim..Islam.. Catholicism is based on traditions of men(religious)…rituals men pleasing men…but not God..
I hate to see the look on your face when the demons drag you into the gates of hell and later transported to the lake of 🔥…
Read the book of revelation on the 7 churches…
Jesus said come out
Not go back in
You are letting satan talk you back..
He is good at it
You probably get goosebumps too…
I come from ☪️ and have been involved in Santa Ria .. have seen magic manifestation …
Only true believers in Jesus and his teachings will make it to heaven..
Queen of heaven..worship of angels…giving financial support for removing sins…on and on…is not Jesus s teachings.. it is exactly opposite…
Don’t be afraid of walking alone with God…
Any church that says “ if you leave us you will go to hell…!!!! Is demonic..
Jesus says leave that church
If you want to follow him…
I go to many churches but I will never become a member
I am a member of the body of Jesus already…
@@cacosta2929 you are missing the point..
God don’t care about Catholicism
He really does not.
All God wants you to do put your faith on Jesus and stay away from idolatry and sexual immorality and drinking of blood 🩸

Protestant to Catholicism?
Are you kidding???
I have never seen the word Protestant!!!
Or Catholicism in the Bible!!!
So jumping from one cult to another does not make you right….
You are just simply confused….
Queen of heaven???
Idols every where!!!!
Forbid to marry!!!!
Give money to get forgiveness and doing jumping jacks….
For the forgiveness of sins…
As many as led by the Spirit are the sons of God
Satan is relentless in pulling you back into cults…
Catholic has its own faith and believe historically .Every individual who are saint are special in giving glory to God.Regardless of numerous negative views .It still run shot of this ancient worship, faith and believe.All faiths took from the mother church what they felt comfortable with. Pick and choose doesn't really complement the fullness of the beauty of God.Mountain reach by many sides give reverence to God Yaweh through CHRIST our lord and savior.Continue with your faith and lived christ in your life.Go to church on SUNDAY to give thanks and glory to God. The only and a life time obligation a catholic must do but yet fail many times.Mother Mary pray for us.God bless all.
@@seafererone517 there is only believers in the lord Jesus

But read Jeremiah chapter 44
The whole chapter
Then ask yourself
Why??
You pray to Mary?
Marry is dead
She can not comfort you
But God sent the Holy Spirit as a comforter (he not she)
Stop being a mama’s boys
You got it all wrong. Mother Mary is alive in iternity as well as you if you die.The term payment of sin is death, is really refering the death of souls.Mary is in heaven praying for everyone including you.God bless
To Catholics, Mary is very much alive.
I am an Anglican converted to Catholic.
One day after Mass, I went to talk to the priest. Suddenly I heard my own voice saying, 'Fr, I want to be a Catholic.' I was shocked when I realise that it was me uttering those words. That was how I became Catholic.
Mary seep into my life even though at first I tried not to get close to her.
I am sure the Apostles respected her cos she was their Master' s mother. During the centuries, there have been miracles happening due to her intervention. So she was there before we were born and will still be around after we died.
It is ok not to believe in her for now. Hope you will get to know her before you go so that you will know what I mean. Have a blessed day!
@@belindachai9817 that was the devil in you to hook you up with religion
because believe me the Holy Spirit will not say that
The King James Bible never talks about any females as God..
Only the father and his son and his Holy Spirit is in Godhead..
What you heard is of the evil spirits in you..
Because you opened your self to it
@@SLatis-gc8ru
I am just giving my testimony. Nothing wrong in that.
Remember anything negative is not from God.
You must always think good of others.
I believe that you love God too and that is why you act as you do.
God is so mighty and powerful and He can change my mind in a second if He wants. If you believe in that, you will leave it to the Holy Spirit to do the rest.
Are you feeling all hot and bothered?
Just calm down.
Catholics respect Mary and ask her to intercede for us as in the wedding of Cana.... It is through Mary to Jesus that he turn water to wine.
In actual life, we will also respect the mother of our teacher and ask for her help/advice if we dare not face our teacher because she knows him/her best.
I can understand your concern regarding Catholics going the wrong way. It is your love for your own fellow Christian. I appreciate it.
I feel that you misunderstood the Catholic faith. I know one day you will come to understand it since you know the Holy Spirit too.
But do not bruise the Holy Spirit by saying that it was the devil that hook me up. Sometimes it is better not to say anything because the Holy Spirit is much much more than what we think. If you are so concern, pray for me. It is better than generating ill feelings. Don't you think so?
No, your words have no power over me because I know you have a good heart and that you misunderstood.
I am sure you have heard Catholics denying that they worship Mary and statues etc... I agree with them.
The best way to prove that Catholics are what you think they are, why don't you delve into the Catholic faith and study it? If you are so strong in your faith, you will not be so easily swayed. Do not listen to others. Believe in yourself and find it out yourself.
It is common knowledge that Pastors of other denominations like to talk bad about Catholics but our Catholic priests never talk bad about them. A few christians including myself noticed that fact.
But I never regret becoming a Catholic and I thank God for it. I learn so much.

Mohammadian cult /religion
They believe in Jesus
But Mohammad is the one to go to for help…
Catholicism is a religion of queen of heaven worship.. this religion was around the time of Jeremiah and Jesus..because of true Christians this religion killed many of Jesus believers..
Because this religion killed so many Christians around year 300 after Christ death..
The king made Christianity legal as long they replace the goddess to marry and her son Tammuz to Jesus…
That is why Catholicism is a religion of queen of heaven..as they hold on to Fatima and black madana .. which are real idols that were built before Jesus was born(called idolatry)….
Muhammadian religion was also effected by Christians.. because the Arabs were moon 🌙 worshippers.. so after Christians showed up.. they had to stop worshiping idols in kabba and closed the house of idols and cover it with black cloth…. So Muslim act like they worship God of Moses but in reality is moon god…look at all Islamic flags… satan is very smart in keeping you directly going to God through only Jesus his appointed high priest..
oo is for operator...0 zero is a number
