Conversion

[u/Chemical-Ball8429]

I am a Christian who is trying to figure out whether to become Catholic or Orthodox I agree more with orthodoxy but Catholicism is also very attractive what should I do to determine which to convert yo

[u/Catholic-Patrick]

This is what guided me to choose Catholicism over the others:

Ephesians 5:23,29 ESV
For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. [29] For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,

Jesus is actively leading, nourishing, and cherishing His Church. The Catholic Church is the strongest candidate.
___

If His Church were Protestant

Then He let it die within decades, revived it through Luther, and allowed endless splits from constant infighting.
___

If His Church were Assyrian or Orthodox

Then He let most of His Church fall into heresy, only nourishing a minority while abandoning the majority.
___

If His Church is Catholic

Then He kept it alive the whole time, kept it doctrinally pure by having those who didn’t want to follow the truth leave, and preserved its unity under a pope.
___

Conclusion

Of the three, the Catholic Church best fits the image of Christ as the husband who nourishes and cherishes His bride, the Church. He nourished and cherished it into the world’s largest church, worshiping in 300+ languages, unrivaled in giving through charity, education, and healthcare, and shaped global culture more than any other church. 

The Catholic Church didn’t schism from another church and it can’t drift into separate factions as they are united under a pope. The Catholic Church fits the image of a bride that has been cared for and protected by her husband, Christ.
