Gee, I Never Knew Marcus Grodi Was This Old
For many years now, Marcus Grodi (above) has been hosting "The Journey Home" on EWTN. On the program he interviews various former Protestants & non-Christians who have entered the Church. The guests share their conversion story. Sometimeshe also interviews "reverts", those who were raised Catholic & fell away, either joining another church or just not practicing their faith. Marcus is also the founder of The Coming Home Network International. CHNI was founded "to provide fellowship, encouragement and support for Protestant pastors and laymen who are somewhere along the journey or have already been received into the Catholic Church."
Like I said, Marcus has been hosting his show on EWTN for a long time. But until recently, I never realized how long he has been at it. Thanks to the excellent research of The Research and Archival Department @ Acts of the Apostasy a Rare Early Episode Of "The Journey Home" has been Found!. & when I say early I do mean early. Sadly, the long lost episode only exists as a 5 minute audio. You can listen to it here.
I'm not entirely certain of this, but I think Marcellus Grodi is Marcus' great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather.
Larry, you may be right, on the other hand Marcus sould actually be a modern version of Methusalah who simple updated his 1st name over the centuries.
PS Don't know if you realized it, but anyone who pays attention will notice your full name on the line where it says created by. I decided not to post that on your comments as I knew you had said something about remaining LarryD for now.
Sono Italiano-americano. I am a member of St Joseph the Worker Roman Catholic Church. I am an advisor to Alpha Phi Omega & College Republicans at Loras College. I am a member of the Dubuque Co. Republican Central Committee. I have been involved in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement since 1974. For me the overriding issue of the day is defending the preborn & upholding their right to life. If we don't value life before birth, we devalue it after birth. Life is a gift from God. This is why I am a supporter of the work that Dubuque County Right to Life does in my area. & that is why I am politically active. Our nation's laws need to be changed to protect all from conception to natural death.
