Reasons for Converting to Catholicism

Why I'm leaving Protestantism and converting to Catholicism.

I've touched on this in various ways on my page, but the one thing I haven't

touched on is the denomination factor.

One thing that I know all Catholic converts have in common

is at one point, we questioned why in the world are there

over 45,000 denominations? Because if sola

Scriptura is true and we should interpret the Bible for

ourselves, why are there

45,000 different opinions? As I grew more in my faith, it

became harder and harder to ignore this fact that nobody

in Protestantism can truly agree what the Bible is saying.

When we tell people, "Oh, this is up to interpretation.

Whatever you think this verse is, you can go with that," we

are saying that God's Word is not timeless and that it's up to

human fallible interpretation. But then people could say, "Oh, why is

the Catholic Church right? Because it's also run by fallible human

beings." That's

a good point, but think about, for example, the Gospels.

They were written by the apostles, who are also fallible human beings, but

they were preserved from fallibility when writing Scripture.

And we all agree that the Bible's infallible, so how is

that when it's written by mortal humans?

Catholic teaching has been around for 2,000 years since the

apostles, and a lot of really awesome early church

fathers, like St.

Ignatius of Antioch, he was a direct disciple of Apostle John,

so you

can take his word for it. And you know what he advocated for? Rome.

When you study church history, you are not going to

land on Protestantism. You just won't.

You're either going to land on Catholicism or Orthodoxy, and I will stand by that.
