As a Catholic Priest, I am heartened by this dialogue. You really are teaching me humility. Thank you.

I'm a Protestant Baptist, but this video as well as my study of history has strongly drawn me to the Catholic Church. And that terrifies me in a wonderful way

As a lifelong Catholic, I cannot put into words how much of an unbelievably generous look at our faith this was on your part, Matt. Your true Christian humility and genuine willingness to learn should serve as a model for us all when it comes to inter-Christian (and interfaith) dialogue. Thank you for taking the time to really try to understand the beauty of Catholicism. I'm also super grateful to Father for taking the time to explain many of the nuances of our faith that I feel get lost on many. God bless, Matt.

As a Catholic, I was so impressed by your openness and curiosity, and willingness to sit back and just listen. But mostly how both you and Father Diaz were so civil and kind with each other! This is how conversations with those of different beliefs should occur. Huge breath of fresh air to watch this dialogue and not be tensing up, worried that one side or the other was going to get offended and blow up. Thank you, I pray I can be just as open and compassionate to my Protestant brothers and sisters. ❤️

I very much appreciated the little moments of joking with each other.

I was a Protestant, after encounter some difficulties in their teachings. After much private study, the Lord landed me to Catholicism. I was amazed by the depth of their teaching, especially St. Thomas Aquinas.
Now I am on my way into the Roman Catholic Church, can't wait for completing my RCIA.

Word about the host; if people adopted his attitude when confronted with ideas that they may not understand or agree with, the world would be a far better place.

I was Protestant, who thought the Catholic Church was just heresy, most my life until my catholic gf challenged me to actually do my own research. I studied for hours looking into all the ins and outs of Catholicism and everything. I was confirmed this past Easter and I am now incredibly devout to my faith. I chose St Joseph as a patron Saint, to help me be a better man.

I must say this conversation is wonderful. I'm Catholic and I love my faith but this protestant is one awesome dude. His humility comes through and is beautiful because humility ultimately comes from God, who himself is so humble he comes to us in human form in the person of Jesus Christ. Thank you.

I'm a catholic and I love my Christian protestant brothers and sisters.

I love how they can actually have a nice and civil conversation without yelling or getting angry, this is how it should be.

I am a Catholic. During my Confirmation Classes in 11th grade of high school, we went to all different church services. Every denomination. We learned about each different religion, experienced their services, learned how they were formed from branching off from Catholic or Orthodox Churches. I am grateful that we were given the opportunity to make an informed decision to choose the Catholic Church. 🙏🕊

Sooo beautiful 😊👍... I was born and raised Catholic, yet went seeking to born again megachurches and saw that its not for me. I embraced atheism, till one day i decided to pray the rosary for old time's sake. And that prayer took me back to where I belong.. Now im always proud to say : I'm Roman Catholic 😊👍❤️

I was baptized and confirmed into the Catholic Church this Easter. I joined because I wanted to be part of the Church that Jesus himself established. The incredible depth of history, intellectualism, and liturgical beauty of the the Catholic faith compelled me to convert from being an atheist to a practicing Catholic. The Eucharist is at the center of my life now, and I feel so privileged to be able to receive the body of our Lord! My prayers go out to everyone here!

Former Protestant here, I came into the Catholic Church this year. Despite all the hate and abuse I get from family and former friends (who are protestant), I don’t regret my decision on becoming a Roman Catholic. God love you and I’ll be praying for your conversion.

[kentadamson]

I was raised Protestant, after studying and feeling that something was missing from the church, I found Catholicism. I'll be coming home in a couple weeks and getting confirmed.

This is awesome! Fulton Sheen said "There are not over a hundred people in the US who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church" thank you for going down the rabbit hole that is 2, 000 yrs old and therefore holds a lot of Tradition and tradition :)
I will add that, as a Catholic, strip everything away, take it all, nothing matters but Jesus. Jesus in the Eucharist here (which is why the church fathers-the disciples of the apostles, clarified this in their writings). To make us holy and bring about his will. Everything else is icing or designed to make this a reality. The theology/"rules" don't bring oppression. They bring a fullness of faith, a thirst that can only quenched by Jesus.
P.s. look into the theology of the body. As it relates to the Eucharist, to our sexuality, to even this concept of heaven on earth, to how we treat our bodies, the list goes on. This really unlocks a lot of Catholic teaching
God bless!

I am Catholic and truly amazed at how respectful you are. We never see other Christian's respect Catholics in the manner you do. Thanks!

Grew up southern Baptist, explored tons of different religions, got into new age doing Kundalini yoga, and now by God's grace I'm finally home in the Catholic Church. Thanks be to God!
