Over 1000 ordained Protestant pastors have become Catholic in the last decade. CHN is here to help them on their journey. “The purpose of the Coming Home Network International (CHNetwork) is to provide fellowship, encouragement, and support to men and women who are considering becoming Catholic and those who have already come home. In particular, the Coming Home Network seeks to assist non-Catholic clergy who often face acute difficulties and struggles during their journeys.”

Jeff Cavins explores and responds to some of the reasons why so many people have left the Catholic Church for evangelical Christianity.

As he presents the story of his return to Catholicism, Cavins also builds a case for why the Catholic Church is the Church founded by Christ.

Dr. Scott Hahn explains through his legendary testimony how he was militantly anti-Catholic but self-driven to seek the truth.

This ultimately led him into the Catholic Church. He soon became an ardent defender of the Faith and one of its most passionate promoters.

Fr. Francis Jamieson was born and brought up in England as a Protestant. He was later ordained. It wasn’t long before Fr. Francis realized that it was the Catholic Church that made any real sense

I began to read—papal encyclicals, Vatican II documents, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, theologians such as Louis Bouyer, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. I conversed with other Protestant pastors who had become Catholic and with priests who had grown up in the faith—all were eager evangelizers. The more I read and talked, the more convinced I became of the truth of the Catholic Church’s teachings and doctrine.

The conversion story of Marcus Grodi

Becoming Catholic was never my dream or intent. It is still an all too vivid memory to me, sitting alone at age 40 in a half-lit basement, having resigned from the pastorate. I ached for having abandoned the weekly privilege of a pulpit from which to proclaim God’s truth. Would I ever have this privilege again? Will I ever again have a pulpit? Now they estimate that each week from the “pulpit” of The Journey Home television program I speak to a potential audience of over a billion viewers and listeners. In one night I speak to more people than I ever could have in my entire career as a Protestant minister. This is the humor of our merciful God. Before I converted I had no idea whatsoever how I would support my family let alone how I would continue in ministry. But this is getting way ahead of myself.

Pretty good odds to me.

Wow, over 1000 ordained Protestant pastors have become Catholic in the last decade, compared to 50 Catholic priests who have become Protestants.

We’re leading 20 to 1! I think the mercy rule needs to be called here.

What was the point of this thread again?
