Can't help saying, this was one of the best videos I've watched in a long time. I hope everyone I know gets to watch this. Any possibility of getting highlights of this talk, part by part versions of this video that I could share with friends who wouldn't probably want to sit through 1.5 hrs? (I personally wouldn't mind sitting through this multiple times). Would it be copyright infringement if I did it myself?

What Steve Ray said is so true. I was a Catholic who became a Protestant for a long while. One of the pastors in the congregation that I was a member of in Northern California had a disagreement with how he interpreted a Bible verse with several of the other pastors from this church I was attending and after a year or so, he left that church and went to another one that agreed with him. I am now back to being a Catholic with a much stronger faith. I love my Catholic Faith with all its faults for there was one thing this pastor who left told me that led me back to Catholicism. At the time I became a Protestant, he asked me why I left being a Catholic. And I said it’s because of certain priests who aren’t behaving as they are supposed to. And he told me never judge the church by its leaders for they are people too. And as he left the Protestant church I was attending, I realized that I was in the right church all along and should have just stayed Catholic despite the errors of its priests. Now I am Catholic again and will remain so til the end of my life.

As a Protestant (probably on track to become Catholic) this was so informative and an intellectual/theological feast. Blessings to Steve and you, Matt.

I'm Roman Catholic from infancy. I love Protestants and I thank God for them. During those times when I felt lost or apathetic in faith, the wonderful lectures of Protestant pastors helped to enlighten my mind and rekindle my love of God. I just let the parts where they criticized the Catholic Church and practices go over my head, like water going over the waterproof feathers of a duck. I thank God that I held on all these years to the conviction that I'm in the right boat of salvation. May all devoutly believing and seeking Protestants find their way home.

Having been born in a Baptist home, son and grandson of well meaning holy Baptist Pastors, I must admit that this interview has made a big impression. Many important theological points.

I'm Anglican and I love hearing how protestants made their journey to the Catholic Church. Fascinating.

Matt, I came Home to the Church just about a month ago. I just found this interview today. What a blessing! I can't wait to get Steve's books to share with non-Catholic friends and family. Also: come to Budapest and celebrate the traditional Latin Mass at my church, a beautiful Baroque house of worship suitable for celebrating the Holy Eucharist!
