I am one of them. Hoping to be confirmed on Easter. Young people want the traditions and the sacraments. We donβt want watered down and weak Christianity. We see a world devastated by secularism, the Protestant attacks on the sacraments (marriage, the Eucharist, confession etc.) and that the end result of sola scriptura and the Protestant reformation has been chaos. We have churches worshipping Israel and the βnon binary godβ, in particular the Church of England has completely collapsed.
Also Catholics are dominating in apologetics, debates and theology online. I was convinced after watching a Pints with Aquinas debate about the Eucharist. The guy who he was debating went from Evangelical to Catholic after that. After reading the Bible and listening to guys like Trent Horne, Dr Taylor Marshall and Pints with Aquinas I decided to attend Mass.
I am looking forward to attending my first Traditional Latin Mass this weekend.
All of my friends are leaving Protestantism for Catholicism or Orthodoxy.
YES!!!!!
Here's the thing though; We MUST speak up!!! IF you see your church / priest doing something woke / anti-Christian; SAY SOMETHING!!!
We have to stop cowering in fear & silence and just being people pleasing "go along to get along, live & let live"
We MUST cut that shit out if we are to survive!!!
Christians, White People, Americans, Western Civilization; all of us need to stand up, speak out & take action!!!
Welcome into Christ. πβ¦οΈβ¦οΈβ¦οΈ
I do. I am on FIRE for the faith and a return to tradition. We NEED it as a civilization. I am a huge advocate for the Society of Saint Pius X parishes and the Priestly society of Saint Peter parishes. I also love my Orthodox brothers and sisters in Christ.
We need tradition and the Bible. We need the Eucharist and stand firm for our faith.
There is something to be said for more traditional liturgical forms of worship. It is comforting to know what is coming and that one is of the same mindset as those around you - not to mention belonging to a larger group with a single purpose around the world all praying those same prayers.
I was raised Lutheran. Our services were very liturgical - much of it resembling its Catholic roots. I personally like the structure. That kind of service is more difficult to find within Protestant communities these days. In chaotic times I feel that many young people are seeking that kind of order and structure. God bless you and them. Congrats in finding your way home fren.
I was raised Presbyterian and went to a LCMS college. Lost my faith but came back two years ago. I cannot wait to receive the Eucharist
I am excited for you! You may have left Him, but He never left you. Praise God.
Welcome back. πͺ
Personally, I'm literally, currently, moving from Presbyterian to Pentacostal.
TBF, the Presbyterian church is very weak example of a congregation, while the Pentacostal congregation is as "normal" and scripturally based as a fiery sect can be.
Good luck.
I never knew why we were Presbyterian. My parents just liked the church. It was overall a good church donβt get me wrong but it wasnβt deep enough for me. I was confirmed and everything yet they never brought up John Calvin. Now that I am older I think pre destination is heresy. My pastor there didnβt even preach it.
There are plenty of god fearing Protestants who are good people and live out the faith but that has been my issue with many Protestants. I often donβt get the WHY. Also being in the Seattle area I had a hard time finding a Church that wasnβt gay.
God bless you. You will likely love the Traditional Latin Mass. It almost feels like being in heaven.
Love this! If you're interested in some more on-fire theology online, check out the Institute of Catholic Culture, they are amazing. Also, the Byzantine Divine Liturgy is amazing - Matt Fradd is a regular I believe.
I am gonna do Dr Taylor Marshallβs St. Thomas of Aquinas course. I am reading his book Christian Patriot currently. Forward is by Harrison Butker the Kansas City Chiefs kicker. GREAT book about the Christian founding of our country and why we are a Christian nation and how we can take it back!
Nice, will check out his book, thanks for sharing! Just finished the Household and the Common Good course from the ICC - covered Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, & Aquinas. Got me into Aquinas.
