Marty was raised in a wonderful Roman Catholic home. Sadly, he was hurt as a young boy causing him to hate himself and eventually to hate God and the Catholic Church. As a young married man Marty and his wife were devoted to Thomas Jefferson and Deism. After suffering family and financial setbacks, he was led to a relationship to Jesus Christ though a “chance” meeting of an elderly Pentecostal lady and a Methodist minister. Eventually, Marty became a Pentecostal pastor. After a time he was introduced to the Evangelical Orthodox Church and was ordained a priest of that denomination which finally led him Home to the Catholic Church.
