@@jasonreese4573 He’s venturing into Christian movies, and no doubt this is part of the promotion for his upcoming movie. He is struggling to find work and recently got thrown out of a Republican event for being too “gross and vulgar.” Days later he’s talking about how “Christian” he is and how much he loves Jesus. The dude is a desperate basket case.
As a cradle Catholic I am in awe of the quality of our recent converts.

Same here - I’m a cradle Catholic, but only last year (at 45) did my faith ignite. It’s so wonderful to finally see the truth!
I can't help to get a little emotional every time I see someone come home to the catholic church. It's never to late to come back and I'm so happy and proud for him to take that step. To listen to his testimony it's wonderful! God bless him!
Praise God for your conversion!
Welcome to the family Rob. Congrats and God bless you and your family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Prayers for you Rob and that your faith will always carry you and your loved ones through the storms of life.🙏💕🙏💕
God bless you Rob and welcome home
The Holy Spirit breathed into you!!! Beautiful! Welcome home brother in Christ!
One of my favorite Hollywood actors, God bless him!
That’s what is so amazing about our faith. Always learning. An endless treasure trove.❤
Welcome home brother God love so much that he gave us his life..
Welcome to the (Catholic) Family, Rob! With open arms all the way from the Philippines. I'm a fan!
Welcome to the true Church Mr. Schneider:+) Keep following and listening to Fr. Ripperger. He is spot on. And look into Traditional Catholicism...it is the true faith our ancestors followed which built Christendom and created the greatest saints:+) God bless~
I’ve always loved Rob and now I love him even more! Amazing to hear he converted. God bless you, Rob! Welcome home ❤️🙏🏻
One Sunday when the Gospel reading was about the labourers that started work at different times of the day, from first thing in the morning to just about quitting time, our parish priest at the time have a very touching homily. It didn't sound like he was talking about the Gospel at first. He talked about baptizing a 100 year old woman at the nursing home on the Wednesday preceding that Sunday. He had seen her at the Mass every Wednesday when he ministered to the residents of the nursing home, but she never went to receive communion. He approached her, and found out that she had never been baptized, because her family didn't believe it was necessary. She had wanted to become Catholic as a young woman, but was discouraged by her family. Not wanting to upset her parents, she didn't push the Idea. She married a man they approved of and raised her family, and was active in the lives of her grandchildren until it was necessary for her to have round-the-clock-assistance. In the nursing home, she was finally able to go to Mass every week, and she did. She faithfully assisted at every Wednesday Mass. Father offered to teach her the Faith, and she gratefully accepted. At that point in the homily, Father asked if any of us resented that she's a late sister in the Faith. Of course nobody resented her for that, or that her reward in heaven will be as those of us who had been baptized as infants, and those who have been faithful since baptism, through thick and thin, working for the Kingdom of God. That's where Father tied the Gospel reading to real life. The laborers who were the last to begin work are paid (heavenly reward) the same as those who started work first thing in the morning.

Indeed. Great story and it also shows how Jesus calls all of us…we just have to be listening. This priest … how holy he is to have given her instruction and listened to God calling HIM to guide her home. I love hearing conversion stories.

Amazing ! Thanks for this churchpop! It is good to see how God works silently and consistently in bringing us back to Him. God bless Rob and help him to bring more souls back to the Church!
God Bless you Rob and your family. It’s so beautiful to hear how you had come back to the church and how much you love our country. May you all start to pray the rosary together ✝️🙏🏻❤️
Pinoy blood is strong on this one! God bless him and his family.
Well, what can I say? Welcome home, Rob Schneider. 🙏🙏🙏
It is great to hear this man talk about Jesus and his catholic faith, being a catholic and have a good strong faith, we received the most blessed graces and gifts in life. WE learn to have a good outlook on life, we consider our fellow man, woman and children and all the words creatures and living things.
Please get these movies into the theaters. I can't wait to see them.
His Filipino ancestors are dancing "tinicling" and "cariñosa" now...Welcome to the Catholic Church, the home of your Filipino ancestors. 🥰🥰
Congratulations, Rob 🙏📿 Nice interview.
Amazing 👏 movie stars, university professors, politicians, media celebrities, .... coming home.
I can relate to him in so many ways. I've always been Catholic but I gradually walked away from practicing the Faith in my early 20's and finalized my separation(or at least I thought) when I was 27. Then I spent the next 10 years of my life denying the existence of God while exploring alternatives to the concept of God. I guess I was an agnostic quasi atheist if you will. But all that time I didn't realize that even though I abandoned Him, He never abandoned me! And that includes all the choir of Heavens including my Guardian Angel and Our Blessed Mother. They NEVER gave up on me! Long story short I came back after watching the Passion of the Christ exactly 20 years ago around this time and you're right, you never stop learning the Faith. For instance I just found out a few days ago what it means for a priest to be forever EVEN if he gets taken off the priesthood or he "quits". The key there is the difference between the faculty and the authority to exercise it. They can take away the second but not the first. And I'm pretty sure there are other stuff like that that I'm yet to learn. So hang in there my friend you're most definitely NOT alone! WELCOME!!!!

Happy for him! God bless!
Nobody ever asks why Napoleon is buried in France 🇫🇷 or George Washington in the USA 🇺🇸 Similarly, it's evident why remains of the apostles rest in Catholic churches 🇻🇦

Great news alot of people who are coming to be Catholic and celebrating OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Brilliant. So wonderful to hear what Rob Schneider has to say about the Roman Catholic Church and not needing to agree with everything. Beautiful. Living with the paradox a a mark of intelligence and deep faith.

So glad to know he has become a Catholic. I have always loved him!!!! But yes, the movies he did, not family friendly.
Nice rob you got to meet with fr ripperger. He's a heavy hitter in the catholic word. God bless brother you will be in my prayers
Hey I just noticed this and had to comment - when Rob talks about the the Church and science and gives the example of the earth being thought of the center of the solar system rather than the sun - it should be no surprise that the “Son” is the center of the universe!
@archangelliii2536
Ай бұрын
Well actually the Sun is NOT the center of the Universe. That was not the issue with the Galileo affair though. The issue was is the earth itself more important than the Son etc. The Church actually never said Galileo was wrong. The Church authorities said that he had to slow down until they can study the matter in more depth and determine the place of the earth in the Universe. Galileo ignored them and proceeded to publish his findings. Don't blame him since scientifically he was right for the most part. However have you ever wonder why is the earth the ONLY planet that we know of that holds life??!!! In fact, even the Scientific community has been investigating what makes our planet so unique for centuries. You see, perhaps is not the planet itself but rather its location??!!! Maybe after all this location is indeed the center of the Universe not necessarily in a physical but rather a metaphysical way??!!! So indeed the Church was up to something and so was Galileo. I think they were both right!
Love you Rob!!! Welcome home!!! 🙏❤️✝️❤️🙏
Cool testimony. God bless you.
Love this❤️🫶🙏😇
Love this interview!
Welcome to the ONE TRUE CHURCH THAT JESUS ESTABLISHED. God bless Rob

One of the most frequently asked questions in social interactions is "where are you from," and I used to be no exception. However, I have since altered my approach and now inquire about people's religious affiliation, specifically whether or not they are Catholic, regardless of race or place of origin, status, fame, or career.
His lola in heaven prayed for his conversion lol
Rob gets it 👍
God Bless you Rob. Welcome to your true home. It brings tears to my eyes when someone converts to the Catholic Faith. Thank You Jesus for bringing him home to Your Church.. Jesus works in mysterious ways...
Welcome home Rob. Also RFK24! Maybe you can get Bobby going back to Mass!
Yay
I hope you make the film. Since a kid I’ve always believed it was real.
JESUS I TRUST IN YOU FOREVERMORE AND BEYOND AMEN
La Síndone (la sàbana santa, the shroud) is the receipt, es la rosetta. Our Christian brother and sisters should research back in time the elders and the church's structure they engineered. Hope they do. Muy hermoso testimonio. Gracias Rob and Jaqueline, all the best to you both.
Welcome to the true church, idol. The one and only true church built by Jesus Christ.
I'm happy he came to Jesus. I still remember him in Boston Legal
Welcome Rob!

Aren't you half Filipino? I'm surprised that that fact isn't a factor in your faith! But she is right. You are called in God's time. God bless you and your family!
“You can do it “. 😂😂
I’m so glad you came to the Catholic Church the only church founded by God and please do not criticize the pope he was chosen by God and no one has the right to criticize…but I’m glad you became Catholic the only church that goes back to the birth of our lord Jesus to now 2,000 years. And, the reason people criticize it is because is the true church of Christ and the “gates of hell will not prevail against it”🙏🙏⛪️⛪️👏👏⛪️❤️❤️💕welcome!!!
