I was an anti-Catholic non-denominational “born again” Christian and got into a debate with a Catholic.
I used the same tired lines – you guys don’t read the Bible, you’re basically pagans for worshipping Mary and the saints, etc.
He challenged me on the topics of apostolic succession, sola scriptura, and Marian prayer.
So I began researching. I needed to understand Catholicism better so I could more effectively debate these fools!
But the more I researched, the more I struggled to find valid arguments against the Catholic faith. I set out to disprove Catholicism, and found myself unable to do so – so much so, that Catholicism became impossible for me to disprove.
I didn’t become Catholic because I wanted to. I became Catholic because the Holy Spirit called me home to the Church Christ founded. It wasn’t up to me. Catholicism is much harder than being a Protestant; I am called to a much higher standard.
It is at times unpleasant. But God calls us to worship Him in the manner in which HE chooses. Worship isn’t about us. Church isn’t about us.
It’s all about Him.

If you are Catholic, why are you Catholic? (This question is from a Catholic Priest)
