  • 00:00

    I became a born-again Christian three years ago—I'm 47 years old, so it's quite late

  • 00:06

    on in life, I was 44— with an evangelical church. And after I became born-again, I became

  • 00:12

    very active in the pro-life movement which is mainly Catholic-led, so I know a lot of

  • 00:17

    Catholics. So my question is: why would I be a Catholic, given that I'm born-again?

  • 00:24

    I know Jesus, I know I'm saved, why be a Catholic? Adam, great question. I can tell you from

  • 00:38

    my own perspective— because as you know, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal lord

  • 00:44

    and savior when I was 10 years old at Boulevard Baptist Church in Falls Church, Virginia,

  • 00:48

    changed my life. I wanted to be a preacher from the time I was 10. I later became a minister

  • 00:53

    in an Assembly of God community, loved Jesus, became a good old Pentecostal preacher. And

  • 01:00

    so I asked basically the same question you're asking me, I asked of a young marine about

  • 01:06

    34 years ago. And basically the answer is: I became Catholic, first and foremost, to

  • 01:15

    save my soul. Because, see, I believe, Adam, that you can be as born-again as you want

  • 01:21

    to be born- again, and we believe you're born again in John 3:5 through baptism—of course,

  • 01:26

    faith and baptism. We believe that's what Jesus is talking about there, and it's very

  • 01:31

    clear when you look at the context that he's talking about being born of water and spirit,

  • 01:35

    that It's referring to baptism, which is the instrument whereby we are brought into Christ.

  • 01:41

    As Romans 6:3-4 says, we're buried together with him through baptism. 1 Peter 3:21 says "baptism does now save

  • 01:51

    us." Acts 22:16, Ananias says to Paul "Why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord." So

  • 02:01

    baptism is the instrument of salvation. "What must we do?" they said to Peter in Acts 2:37.

  • 02:08

    "Repent, and be baptized each one of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the

  • 02:12

    remission of your sins," right? So you can be as born-again as born- again can be, but

  • 02:19

    you also have to obey Jesus. You can't just go out and start your own Church. That's so

  • 02:27

    contrary to everything in the New Testament. The idea—for example, Martin Luther, to

  • 02:32

    start his own Church, the Lutheran Church—where in the world is that in the Bible? Jesus,

  • 02:39

    my brother, is the only one who has the authority to start a Church, and he did that two thousand

  • 02:43

    years ago. When Luther and then Calvin and then Knox and then Zwingli, and now we have

  • 02:48

    thousands of different men and women who have started their own churches, that is outside

  • 02:56

    of the will of God. And I had to realize that. I asked the question—I'll tell you, Adam,

  • 03:01

    I was asked the question: why was I Assembly of God? And I had to: "Oh, okay, well why

  • 03:07

    am I Assembly of God? Well, I like the 16 tenets of faith of the Assembly of God—

  • 03:13

    oh, well, actually I disagreed with two of them—but I liked 14 out of the 16!" Right?

  • 03:19

    And so I really had to scrutinize: "Okay, why am I?" And then I had to say "Well, why

  • 03:23

    am I, why am I, why am I?" Until finally what you end up doing is, if you ask the question:

  • 03:29

    okay, what would you have been if you were around in, let's say, oh, 1450? Right? There

  • 03:36

    was no Protestantism. It didn't exist. I would have been Cath— well, maybe I'd have been

  • 03:42

    Orthodox. Okay, well, what would you have been in the year 900? There was no Orthodox.

  • 03:47

    And ultimately, Adam, it goes back to the one holy Catholic and apostolic Church. And

  • 03:50

    I found out, as an historical fact, that Jesus Christ really did establish one church, and

  • 03:57

    that is the Catholic Church. And we, as a historical fact, can trace all of the ordinations

  • 04:02

    of all of our bishops from all around the world back to the apostles. Every bishop in

  • 04:07

    the world that is Catholic is a successor of an apostle. And of course our popes are

  • 04:14

    successors of Saint Peter. Now that I found to be fascinating. I found it entirely biblical

  • 04:20

    and historical. But I still had the problem, Adam: I disagreed with a lot of the doctrines

  • 04:25

    of this crazy Catholic Church. And I will tell you, I went from doctrine to doctrine

  • 04:29

    to doctrine and I hammered it out. From the papacy, you name it. But ultimately, I think

  • 04:36

    the first thing that really got me moving—I mean, there were moral issues, there were

  • 04:41

    lots of things, but the thing that was really kind of the earthquake under my feet was the

  • 04:46

    issue of authority. Because what I find in the New Testament is: the Church established

  • 04:53

    by Jesus Christ has infallible authority. Because, Jesus says concerning his church:

  • 04:58

    "If they hear you they hear me, if they reject you they reject me." In Matthew 10:40, Luke

  • 05:03

    10:16, Matthew 18:18, right? "Whatever you [the Church] binds on earth is bound in heaven,

  • 05:09

    whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven." That is divine authority that Jesus gives

  • 05:13

    to the apostles and the apostles' successors, the Church! And when I looked around at all

  • 05:19

    the protestant communities, what I saw is a bunch of men giving you their opinion of

  • 05:24

    what they think the Bible says. And that was a big problem to me, because if you can't

  • 05:30

    speak in the name of Jesus—that means speak infallibly— well then you're not the Church

  • 05:36

    that Jesus established. This whole cacophony now of protestants, everybody's saying "Oh,

  • 05:44

    I know the truth!" Evangelicals, you talk about. Well, they disagree with each other

  • 05:48

    on matters so essential like we were talking about earlier: predestination, salvation,

  • 05:54

    can you lose it, right? Is baptism of sacrament is marriage is sacrament— we could talk

  • 06:00

    about every doctrine from the trinity to the hypostatic union, every doctrine, and you

  • 06:06

    have disagreements among Christians today, those who who name the name of Jesus Christ.

  • 06:14

    It is the Catholic Church alone, my brother, that has presented one Lord, one faith, one

  • 06:20

    baptism for two thousand years, never contradicting a definitive teaching. No pope two thousand

  • 06:28

    years ago has ever contradicted on a definitive matter a pope like Pope Francis who is the

  • 06:34

    Bishop of Rome today. To me, there was no human explanation even for the existence of

  • 06:50

    the Catholic Church.
