Crossed The Tiber
An Evangelical Converts to Catholicism
About Me
- Name: Russ Rentler, M.D.
- Location: Pennsylvania, United States
I was born into the Catholic faith. At 14, I was "born again" and found Jesus personally but lost His Church. After thirty years as an evangelical protestant, I have come full circle to find that He has been there all the time, in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I wish others to find the beauty and truth of the Catholic faith as I have found.

Ahat a sweet and tender image. It makes me wish even more that I'd been fully Catholic as a girl. To have had a cruicifix in my room! I can only echo this quote: "Too late have I loved Thee."
Growing up Catholic, I did have a little crucifix on my wall, and a picture of the sacred heart of Jesus.
Just yesterday, I found a scapular that I used to have hanging on a lamp in my bedroom.
I had no idea where it came from nor why I kept it all these years. Lately I have been finding a few relics from my early childhood Catholic days. Which is a miracle in itself that I never chucked the stuff when I was born again, nor have lost the stuff through tons of moves.
I will post about them sometime.
"Too late have I loved Thee."
Amen.
Sweet!
I went to Catholic schools when I was growing up - even though I wasn't Catholic - and I remember hanging a little plastic crucifix that I got from school up on my bedroom wall (obviously at my tender age I wasn't caught up with Reformation theological hangups). I now believe those years I spent hanging out with Catholics were a real grace, for it innoculated me from the knee-jerk anti-Catholicism even when I became more involved in my Pentecostal practice. Maybe the Lord was leading me home long before I thought of it myself!
These days I have a little pious place on the side table beside my bed where I keep my rosary box and display my little collection of icons. I also have the crucifix I got from my sponsor at the Easter Vigil on the wall. I do wish I could find that little crucifix from my youth, though.
What a lovely rendering of a child comitting idolotry! Whoops, I thought this was "Beggars All."
Nice blog site Tiber.
simply lovely! by God's grace, i was brought up RC, but not formed at home (long story). this image reminds me of my beloved grandmother's house;
"Eternal rest give unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. Amen."
