The latest from CHNetwork

This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a wonderful conversation with Dr. Andrew Blaski about how his academic study of the Church Fathers led him to Catholicism.

Marcus Grodi also appeared on Larry Chapp’s show again, to discuss more about Catholicism, technology, simplicity, and a whole range of other questions.

In a new On the Journey, Ken Hensley shared the questions that came up for him when he realized that his old friend Scott Hahn had become Catholic.

On the latest Deep in Christ, JonMarc Grodi reflected on why the Church calls us to fast together in the season of Lent.

Our newest written conversion story comes from Dr. G. Lloyds Raja, whose anti-Catholicism was overcome by the kindness of the Catholics he met.

And in our latest Insights video, Bo Bonner, a former Baptist shared how he came to understand what to make of problems in the history of the Catholic Church.

Meanwhile, around the web…

Aleteia looked at how St. Olga of Kyiv went from mass murderer to Christian saint.

In First Things, Michael Nazir-Ali, a former Anglican bishop, shared why he became Catholic.

Last weekend, Cardinal Nicholas of Westminster ordained another former Anglican bishop to the Catholic priesthood.

And Peter Smith at the National Catholic Register reflected on the recent wave of Anglican bishops that have become Catholic.

APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

And archaeologists have found a piece of pottery that may bear the name of the biblical judge Gideon.

A member taking their spouse to Mass for the first time this week, a former pastor praying for employment that will make use of his gifts and desire to serve God, and all our members preparing to be received into the Church this Easter – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!

“Since Christ Himself said in reference to the bread: ‘This is My Body,’ who will dare remain hesitant? And since with equal clarity He asserted: ‘This is My Blood,’ who will dare entertain any doubt and say that this is not His Blood?”

St. Cyril of Jerusalem
