I was a convert at 9 years old when an Irish Catholic family took me to Mass (Latin) and I fell in love with it. My parents were all for it and even put me in a Catholic school at that time. Now that I am older, the Catholic Church gives me so much comfort.

When I was in the convent, some children from a local orphanage came to sing Christmas carols to the nursing home where I was stationed. I was standing next to the children and I felt this little hand go into min. I looked down and saw the sweetest little girl looking up at me. She didn't know me, she. Saw my habit and knew she could trust me. Such a wonderful experience. Stays with me 40 years later.
My brother was married by John Wayne’s grandson. He looked so incredibly devout to the Eucharist during consecration. Beautiful.
I'm an Englishman who is converting to Catholism. I'm 23. And Catholics are some of the most patriotic Britons I've known. We pray for Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II all the time. We love our figurehead. Who has done so much for our country. I am, as are most Britons, a constitution monarchist. I'm sure the law could change today if a monarch wanted to convert. But at this time, the monarch is the Supreme governor of the Church of England. But we pray for the reunification. God bless you brothers. God save the Queen! 🇬🇧

My family were Catholic and we loved John Wayne. But I didn’t know he was a deathbed Catholic, I was born into my Father’s Catholic family and baptized as a baby. My mom was a Baptist as a child and married my Catholic father in the priests home and took instructions before she joined from him. I think she realized that it was good for us to all be the same religion and I think that was a great thing for her to do and my mother was very shy and I know that took her a lot of courage to do.

I'm amazed at the generosity of speakers on the Catholic Talk Show. So genuinely chuffed at a person turning round their lives. I HOPE I LEARN FROM UT BECAUSE IT IS A GODLY TRAIT.

I heard it somewhere that having the Our Father said before recieving Holy Communion is very apt because apart from the Confiteor at the beginning it is our further expiation of our shortcomings For me, its like another chance of examination of conscience before actual reception.

Many in the early church held off until their deathbed because they wanted to be baptized and cleansed of their sins before they died. It is wonderful that the sacrament of reconciliation is better accepted and recognized now.

The Duchess of Kent who is married to the Kings great uncle became a catholic because she had had an abortion. She was ridden with guilt and knew the Catholic Church taught that abortion was wrong. She contacted a Priest for help and eventually became a catholic. Her elder son has also become a catholic. She is such a beautiful kind person.

Monaco is a 'principality', not a 'kingdom'. Great episode. The point about Pope Francis providing approval for the forgiveness of abortion (Nov 2016), as he himself said, does not change the fact that while there is mercy from God, does not change that it is a grave sin. This is to aid the conscience of those involved to prevent and not participate in these grave acts of sin.

I’m Not Catholic, I’m Eastern Orthodox (mostly because of Speculative Mariology & submission to the Pope), was raised Protestant. But I had a Mentor introduce me to Thomas à Kempis, Richard Rohr, Augustine, & many others. So, when people like Kevin James, Shia LeBouf, Peter Steele, convert to Catholicism- I get it. ANYTIME I’ve been asked whether or not a person should ground themselves @ a Catholic church instead of Protestant- I encourage them to be reconfirmed if that’s really what The Lord is speaking to their heart.

The nun (cousin) and Doc Holliday were in love (before she became a nun) she only became a nun because Doc Holliday refused to marry her when he found out he had tuberculosis. Not wanting to cause her suffering by watching him die Doc left. They corresponded throughout their lives. Her family burned their letters when she died. It is suspected that the gun fight at the ok corral was the only time Doc actually killed someone. He was distraught at the death of the other gentleman. Doc Holliday was all bark and no bite. I personally think that he made up stuff to make people leave him alone do he wouldn't be bothered. He was just biding time until he died. The fact that he died Catholic is awesome. I've always liked Doc Holliday and I know it's silly but my trucks (all black 2500 4X4 Ram) name is Doc Holliday (Doc) for short.
John Wayne is my favorite hero of all times. I'm happy that he converted to Catholicism. He has a place in my heart and on my wall. Courage is being scared to death… and saddling up anyway.......true John Wayne philosophy 📿 Prayers offered for the Duke.

I find it odd how openly racist celebrities are continually admired. I guess people admire the characters rather than the actor…at least I hope that is the sentiment. John Wayne made racist remarks and believed Black people in general were inferior to White people-even while recognizing the resentment amongst blacks being treated inequitably. Unfortunately, this attitude is prevalent today.
