I’ve been watching a lot of debates lately about points of disagreement between Catholics and Protestants, as well as stories from Protestants who have converted to Catholicism.

Naturally, I find the arguments from the Catholic Church to be more persuasive and true. Still, I decided to hear the “other side,” meaning testimonies from people who have converted from Catholicism to Protestantism. I literally couldn’t find a single video on YouTube. The closest I came were videos from people explaining why they are not (or not yet) Catholic.

If and when RedeemedZoomer finally joins the Church, it’s a wrap.

Surely, there are people leaving the Catholic Church, but from my point of view, both in real life and from what I’ve seen on YouTube and social media, the number of people who leave after doing a deep dive into Church history and remain unconvinced that the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church is the one true Church seems minuscule.

I have no hard proof, but I believe that Catholics that convert to Protestantism are people that read and studied the bible for themselves. Specially students of Daniel and Revelation.

I have no hard proof for this either, but I believe that Protestants converting to Catholicism are drawn by the solemnity of the liturgy, the rituals, and the beauty of the great cathedrals.

I’m sure there is some truth to that.

I haven’t found any videos of Catholics converting to Protestantism, but surely some exist who did so because they decided to adopt Sola Scripture despite it’s obvious flaws.

That’s part of it. I also think they also came to the understanding that Catholicism is true academically if you will

I found a video, I have seen this many years ago. It’s long, but if you start watching it, it’s difficult not to view it all.

Tells you something it’s 14 years old with comments turned off 😅

I’ll check it out, thanks for sharing

I believe it’s even older, saw the turned off comments too, bad look I admit, but give it a try.

Walter was raised Catholic by his father. Then turned away from the faith to evolutionism, then went back to Catholicism, then converted to biblical Protestantism.

Wonder if he did any debates.

I prefer debates because you get to see both sides and cross examination.

I’m grateful for Catholic Apologists like Trent Horn, Jimmy Akin, and Joe Heschmeyer. Check them out if you want to understand the Catholic position.
