Out of interest, is there anybody here that has converted to Catholicism?
I, myself, am in the process of converting to the Catholic Church from the Anglican Communion and was really wondering whether others have had similar experiences. My own reasons were that there was no real faith anymore and that leaders were wasting there time trying to make the Church look "cool" and "modern" by pandering to atheistic and hedonistic ideals.

Hi!
I am one! Actually coming into the Church this Easter with my whole family!!
I am coming in because after researching what the Early Church believed, taught and how they practiced their faith and after about 3 years of studying Church history, Church doctrines, here I am . . I told my priest when I first talked to him, that if I didn't come into the Catholic Church, where else would I go? That was a very short synopsis of my journey into the fullness of the faith . .
There many of us here . .we even have our own RCIA Lounge thread here somewhere .. I am sure the others will check in as they see this thread. . .
Welcome to OBOB!! you will find lots of good company here.
Peace in Him!

I converted last Easter. Technically I was a catechumen since I wasn't baptized, but I had been raised in a pentecostal church and finished college at a baptist university, also attended Nazarene for a while.
I suppose the main issues for me were a combination of authority, oneness and what was really historical Christianity.
I was again a cradle Catholic but never was taught anything about Catholicism. So as I got older I was everything but I just recently converted and am working on my communion and then confirmation. Sorry that I am a little late to the thread.

Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men: and he will dwell with them. And they shall be his people: and God himself with them shall be their God.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and death shall be no more. Nor mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow shall be any more, for the former things are passed away.

I'm a Catholic convert as of last April. I was raised in the evangelical Christian church...or churches you could say. (First Evangelical Free Church). My whole family was against my conversion for the most part in greater and lesser degrees, so it wasn't easy. But thankfully, after 4 years of studying the Church I decided to enter into this thing which has the Fullness of Truth.

I just wanted to say that you converts have NO idea how much we cradle Catholics need you and appreciate you. You are a tremendous witness to us. You know the Faith better than most of us. You live what you know in an inspiring way. Everytime I meet a convert, I thank God for the 'new blood' that we need in our Church. (It's like getting a blood transfusion.)
Personally, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. May God continue to bless you and yours in every way.
