I too came from a Catholic family. (Cradle Catholic) and until the age of 10, I too thought that the whole world was Catholic. Our family immigrated to another country and one day I was walking down the road from our house with my mum and I saw a church
and I said to my mum, "Look mum we can go to that church" and my mother said "No we can't, it's not a Catholic church " I became totally dumbfounded and very confused

[jackmartinez]

Great insights, I hope many will be able to hear this talk. It inspired me to defend the Catholic church and to proclaim it when I have the chance.

[jesuscastanares]

I dig Patrick Madrid. He's a solid preacher of the Lord and his apostolic church

[hazchemel]

you are right about the beauty of catholic teachings; when i investigate some point or other and find the catholic teaching, i feel such relief and joy and concord in my heart.
my line of work took me into the homes of christians of all denominations. i knew a catholic home, because there would be at least one or two holy pictures, like the sacred heart, or stabat mater. i knew a protestant home by the absence of religious imagery. i used to think, "why is it okay to represent pretty well anything, but not anything holy?"

You need to work on your audio upload. Please do something about.

[jhgosnell]

Images are triggers for the awakening of the Spirit...this is why religious people have always created various images. Even Protestants keep images in their home...

The great thing about truth is that it stands on its own. All you have to do is tell the truth and if that person you told has received the love of truth, they’ll eventually come around. Plant seeds.

Patrick Madrid i hear you on the radio every morning !

[joseluismachain]

Sound. And thank You for giving us the Thruth. Letting us know the. Why’s of our faith. God Blesses All

At the end of our days, when we stand before the judgment throne of God. It's not going to be about denomination. Let everyone be assured in his heart by the Holy Spirit that if we are walking with him, he will receive us at the end of our days.

We all would answer to God individually not by denomination, Nationality, tribe or whatever we choose to call ourselves. The question is, Will Jesus know us? Goat & Sheep parable is the reference.

Then we will be identified by Christ who sees our hearts [Not Denomination/Nationality/Tribe/Stature], if we truly were his or not

May God be with us all. And remember, a House divided against itself will not stand. If we are followers of Christ, we won't tear at each other in the comments to cause further rupture. If our faith is in Christ, whose body was broken for us all to be reconciled to God our Father. We all who truly profess Faith [ Words & Lifestyle] in Jesus Christ belong to his body.

I believe it's more important to 1st be identified as Christian by Jesus through his Holy Spirit. 2 cents ✌️
