Thank
you for accepting our invitation to learn more about Catholics Come
Home and returning to your Catholic faith.
God, our Father, created a big and loving family in His Church.
Jesus prays that we are one (John 17:21-23), as He and His father in
heaven are one. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we wish to invite
you to learn more about our family in faith: a Church filled with
beauty, miracles, heroes, history, love and peace.
Whether you are
on a journey into the Catholic Church or returning to the Catholic
Church, you have come to a good place. Our goal is to provide you
with a very wide array of helpful and thought-provoking resources
that will help you understand more clearly the Catholic Church and
its teachings.
At Catholics Come
Home, we promise to always give you the honest truth, with nothing
held back. We won't shy away from difficult subjects, nor will we
refrain from pointing out the many beautiful, wonderful, and even
miraculous aspects of the Catholic Church.
We also sincerely pray that you will not shy away from a careful
examination of the biblical and historical facts presented here, and
that you will sincerely and prayerfully consider that there may be
much more to the case for Catholicism than you may have ever
realized. You will find it interesting to learn that the Catholic
faith is the largest Christian family in the United States (and the
world), accounting for 25% of the U.S. population, and a growth rate
of 11% in the past decade! So, you can see, the Catholic Church
continues to be a vibrant and growing family…but we do truly miss
our brothers and sisters in faith who have not been at Mass lately.
Our
lives on earth should be a wholehearted search for God and His
truth. For some, the search is easy and quick, for others it can be
long and laborious. The purpose of Catholics Come Home is to make
your search for the fullness of truth easier and more fruitful.
The old saying is so true: God loves you. He loves you so much that
He sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and
rise again from the dead to redeem and save you from sin and
alienation. And, as Christ Himself promised, I will not leave you
orphans (John 14:18). He established a Church, the Catholic Church,
with all its human imperfections as the shelter from the storms of
this life.
God loves you so much that He will not stop searching for you,
reaching out to you, and seeking you, so He can bring you safely
home to a big, warm, and loving Catholic family. But God is
gentle... the choice is yours.
As the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen once remarked, Love is a
mutual self-giving that ends in self-recovery. You recover God, and
He recovers you.
We missed you. Welcome home!
