Michael Matthews was raised with no particular faith. At age 17, he discovered Jesus and that ultimately led him to become a Fundamentalist Baptist Minister and very anti-Catholic. After substantial inquiry and study during his ministry; he, his wife and family converted to Catholicism about 10 years prior to appearing on EWTN, April 4, 2011. He explains how and why he came to know Catholicism as the one, holy Catholic (universal) apostolic Church that Jesus founded. He and Host, Marcus Grodi, who is a former Protestant Pastor, share similar experiences in arriving at Catholicism as the fullness of faith.
