A Conversion Account
One man's account of why he left Protestantism for the Catholic Church — and the theological investigation that led him there.
"To be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant." — John Henry NewmanRead the Story Browse Essays
The Journey
In the fall of 2023, a lifelong Protestant felt an unsettling suspicion: that Jesus actually established a visible, universal Church. What followed was months of intensive study — the Church Fathers, the Eucharist, the Reformation, the canon of Scripture — and on Easter Vigil 2024, he entered the Catholic Church.
This site is the account of that journey, offered freely to anyone genuinely seeking truth.
"I did not convert because the Church's teaching lined up with my own understanding. I converted because I had a hunger for truth and, after investigation, I discovered that the Catholic Church is the Church."
