    The thing is we also need political commentators who have a Catholic moral compass that bring reason to non-Catholics. If Knowles we're to be more outspoken about Catholicism on his show, it's possible that he would have a smaller non-Catholic viewership. It would be great if he went on more Catholic shows like this; but I think his show has to stay the way it is.

    I’m a 32 year old wife and mother of 2 young boys. Earlier this year I started my conversion to Christianity and now Catholicism. I’m currently in RCIA. I’m only halfway through this conversation, however, I love hearing about Michael Knowles’ story of becoming a Catholic. Many parts I can relate too, like the simplicity of just knowing it’s true and once you see it you can’t unsee it. I have to thank Michael and Matt Walsh for my own journey to Catholicism. I’d watch daily wire and videos on Catholicism and it definitely turned me in that direction. I have such a greater appreciation for the sacrament of marriage and the roles my husband and I have. My husband is not Catholic but went to Catholic school and is familiar so I'm praying for his conversion 🙏 God bless you both! I enjoy these conversations so much!

    According to the Catholic religion, the rosary was given to the church in the year 1214 by St. Dominic, a priest who claimed to have received it from an apparition (ghost) of Mary. Scripture clearly states that *it takes 2 Witnesses* to make a thing so. Deuteronomy. 19: 15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. Matthew 18: 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 2Corinthians 13: 1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. The rosary was given by *only one man* , a suspect priest. Michael Knowles and every Catholic are just naive and indoctrinated enough to believe this nonsense. Now go do your *OWN* homework.

    “My wife and I realized everything they had told us was wrong….” OH WOW SAME. I don’t know how to agree enough. I had that feeling again and again when I came to the Catholic Church, every time I learned about it read about some of the catholic doctrine I’d think “of course!! 2 plus 2 equals 4!! Why did no one ever teach me how to human correctly before?!?” This world is so, so lost. The Church is the only anchor of Truth, as Christ said in the first place.

    @@clopez880 I didn’t use the word “lie” because that implies an intentional misleading. And I don’t think every wrong thing I was taught or told was an intentional act of desiring to mislead me, although it was wrong nonetheless. But off the top of my head I’d say everything I was taught about sexuality and how to look at the value of my own body. Contraception, pornography, extramarital/casual sex, divorce, abortion, same sex acts, masturbation, immodesty-I was taught that all of these things were normal and perfectly harmless. Same with a general view of oneself and others as exploitable objects. I was taught that “consent” was the only measure of morality, rather than what I learned in the church about chastity as a virtue, pursuit of holiness, love as willing the good of the other, seeing oneself and others as made in the image of God and endowed with great dignity from our Creator. Even the concept of a Creator itself was new to me. I was taught that we are not created at all, rather we are just a random mutation, our existence is due to a quirk of the universe, and we have no telos, no purpose, no inherent nature that we grow towards. I can think of so many more things, including the role and purpose of marriage, family, my identity as a woman, a sacramental worldview, the importance of the contemplative orders, basically my entire concept of myself and the nature of all of existence.

And it's funny you mention that consent is taught as the only measure of morality (I'd say as far as sex, yes that's the only measure taught. As far society there's also the neo-marxist supposed oppressor/oppressed classism 🙄) and the consent thing reminds me of this awesome meme I found recently. It's a cartoon of 2 parts. The first part is a guy with an image of an atom's structure on his shirt throwing the Bible in a fire saying "finally a world of pure rationalism" and in the second part, with a smug smile, he's reading a book titled "can animals consent?" Brilliant lol.

    My fiancé and I recently converted back to Catholicism after a good 17 years of being agnostic/atheist, so I very strongly relate to so much of Michael’s journey and testimony. I completely agree that the liturgy and customs have suffered. I left the church shortly after Catholic High School as a result of a dumbed down catechesis. It was only after delving into the writings of the early church fathers and listening to intellectual and spiritual figure heads like Jordan Peterson and Bishop Barron speak on the subject of the scriptures and implicit meaning that I began to slowly start to uncover the truth.

    Most of us full converts, came back into our faith after a life of sin. Hearing others testimonies makes me feel better, then I think of the saints and their lives not all we’re living in faith most were living in sin. Take saint Francis of Assisi for instance, he even claims to have been living in sin up until the lord called him to live amongst the lepers that he went I to full conversion. He was already a friar but still considered himself sinful. We all are but as long as we don’t stray from the truth, and we have come to full conversion that’s all that matters, peace all good. 🌻🙏🏽💙

    I wouldn't recommend it. Michael could run circles around the average Protestant but ultimately the best Protestants will run circles around Michael. I came into religion from being an atheist and evaluating the two side by side I consistently found Protestants to be making the better arguments. It seems that most arguments for Catholicism boil down to an appeal to manmade doctrine, authority, and traditions that have been elevated to the level of Scripture.

    Listening to you talk about bringing your wife to Mass made me smile. I ventured on a whim out from our NO parish to a TLM one Sunday when my husband was working (mostly out of desperation because I was disgusted with the “Eagles Wings” felt banner culture of my NO parish). I remember calling him and saying, “Um, listen, we gotta change parishes. Like next week. Just trust me.” I too thought he would be as blown away as I was by the TLM. He wasn’t, but thankfully he warmed up to it and did agree to change. Now if we have to go to our old parish (our goddaughter is there still) he is as annoyed and restless as I am lol. For some of us the TLM is just this glaringly beautiful, mystical, reverent place immediately. I think for others they are so shocked they don’t know how to react; it’s almost unbelievable that it’s the same religion if you don’t understand the history. I imagine if you didn’t tell a non-Catholic where you were taking them and took them to both the NO and the TLM and just stood and observed, they wouldn’t think it was the same faith. Which makes it all the more sad that the Church changed the liturgy that drastically after Vat II. Great video!

    It was nice to hear a little bit of talk about Mr. Knowles' parish (which is also my parish). We've seen each other there - he'd recognize me as the balding middle-aged guy with grizzled long hair and a long grizzled goatee. Two or three Sundays ago I thought that I saw Matt Walsh in the parish office building (where Masses are currently held) searching for someone or something. Matt, if you come to Nashville, there are a boatload of orthodox Catholics who'd want to meet you... and they'd probably want Mr. Knowles and Mr. Walsh to show up also.

I've heard nonstop, it seems, of the beauty of it yet, again, I've yet to experience it personally. That said, I personally enjoy the novus ordo. I seek Christ weekly...I long for Him. I feel like I'm in the minority though in actually enjoying the novus ordo mass. Is it merely that I've not yet experienced a Latin mass that would probably change my mind?

    I've been going to the Latin Mass consistently on an average of 2 to 3 times a week. Now because of nursing school I'll be lucky if I can even attend one a week but I am very blessed by God to have a parish no more than 10 minutes away from my house that has the Latin mass. It definitely takes a few sets but the Latin mass will grow on you when you understand that, A. The prayers that the priest is saying are not directed towards you but to God. B. You are partaking in a liturgy that countless Saints throughout the ages have partaken in. The Latin Mass has had little minute changes throughout the centuries but it's definitely identical to how our ancestors worshiped. And C. It is loaded with a lot of symbolism and scripture

    @Deston Swan Only God can condemn, and all rely on God's mercy for salvation That said, birth control does nothing but create a pornified culture of sexualized people, while also convincing people to sterilize themselves for the good of the Liberal capitalist system. The mammon-hungry beast needs compliant workers who are more interested in sex and money than higher things. Homosexuality and divorce erode (or more specifically, have eroded) the foundational structure of a stable society, namely the marital union of man/woman and any children that arise from it. Finally, separation of church and state is a convenient myth bandied about by Liberal societies to assert religious indifferentism. All actions of the state are, de-facto, moral imperatives derived from the value systems of the governed. There is no "separation of church and state" to respect, it is an incoherent position that cannot be exercised. Sincerely, we Catholics who already understand these things
