“For all of his adult life, Hadley Arkes has followed in the steps of the Master. He now walks along side of him,” he added.

Not one word in this man's conversion about our Savior, Jesus Christ...

Christians don't walk along side of Jesus...They walk in Him...You can't get that concept until you ARE in Him...

something special about the Catholic Church as a “truth-telling institution.”

Yes.

I am the way and the truth and the life

Amen.

Thank you for posting this wonderful story. I was a little surprised because I had assumed that he had become Catholic quite a long time ago.

Wonderful story. I hope someday to know for sure that I brought someone to the Table of the Lord.

**More than a decade ago, Arkes realized that there was something special about the Catholic Church as a “truth-telling institution.” **

This is the one reason that I do not understand why Protestants here on FR don’t believe us when we speak the truth. It truly baffles me.

What a terrific human and eternal life-affirming story.

I’m going to go back and read it again.

Wonderful news!I have always liked reading him.

Excellent news. I have always admired Hadley Arkes, and I’m glad to see him coming home.

One of the curious contradictions of the post-Vatican II Church is that while many Catholics have lost their way, betrayed by dissident priests, bishops, and teachers, many Evangelicals and Jews and others have come home to the Church, recognizing the truths that it teaches.

I’m hoping for a Great Awakening, when Catholics too will hear these truths from the pulpits in their parishes. The Church has gone through difficult times often in the course of the past 2000 years, but always has been renewed. I am hoping that that time is approaching once again.

And I am hoping for a Great Awakening among the Mainline Protestant Churches, so that those who don’t come home to the Catholic Church at least will return to their Christian roots. And among all those who have fallen away from church attendance entirely.
