Rosalind Moss Catholic Answers Apologist

Rosalind Moss is a staff apologist with Catholic Answers, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the Catholic faith through all forms of media. She was born and raised in a Jewish home, and in her adult years embraced Jesus as the Messiah of the Jewish people. Her initial conversion took her from a 15-year business career as a successful executive with corporations in New York and California to full-time Evangelical ministry, earning a master's degree in Ministry from Talbot Theological Seminary. A series of events in the Summer of 1990 set her on a compelling course to find out if the Catholic Church is in fact the Church Christ established 2,000 years ago. After 18 years of Evangelical Protestantism, she entered the Catholic Church at Easter 1995.

Rosalind now travels the world speaking and teaching through conferences, parish missions, women's and family retreats, and all forms of media. She is the editor of Home at Last, 11 Who found their Way to the Catholic Church, which includes her own journey to the Church. In addition to her semi-monthly radio program, "From the Heart" on Catholic Answers Live, Rosalind co-hosts EWTN's "Household of Faith" and "Now That We're Catholic!" and is the host of the brand new series, Reasons for Our Hope: A Bible Study on the Gospel of Luke, airing presently on EWTN and available on DVD for individual, group and parish use together with the book by the same title available from Catholic Answers.

Her talks include:

From Judaism to the Fullness of Christ

• Enter into the moment of "holy shock" when Rosalind was confronted with the possibility that the Catholic Church might be true.
• Rejoice as she discovers, and at last enters, the "synagogue with Christ".

The Passover Fulfilled

Another presentation of Rosalind's conversion, this time focused on her discovery of the Eucharist, from the Passover Table of her Jewish home in Brooklyn, through a symbolic understanding of the Lord's Supper during her Evangelical Protestant years, to the reality of "Christ our Passover sacrificed for us" in the Catholic Church.

• Enter into the traditional Passover account of Israel's deliverance from Egypt as Rosalind sings "Dayenu"!

The Father's Gifts

A heart-warming and eye-opening look at all God has given in giving us his Church: the Sacraments, Scripture and Tradition, the Commandments, the Beatitudes, Purgatory, and more—all gifts of the Father's love to his children in the fullness of the home he has given us on earth.

God’s Will for the Family: How to Live It

The family is thought by many today to be an endangered species, an archaic idea whose time is past, one among many choices for living together in the 21st century. In one of her most vital talks, Rosalind demonstrates how the family is not our idea, but God's. And not only God's design but also His holy, unchanging, sacred calling for all ,mankind, for populating the earth, for spreading His Kingdom, and for making us saints!

God’s Will for the Soul: How to Cherish It

This is Rosalind’s first and very personal presentation of her journey from a pro-choice position to a pro-life faith. In this moving encounter, Ros takes us from the devastating experiences of her pre-Christian days, through the anti-abortion stance of her Evangelical years, to the full pro-life understanding which is now hers the Catholic Church. Through inspiring illustrations, she demonstrates how the Church’s teachings are not man-made, but timeless truths of God’s moral order. And, in her characteristic way, Ros encourages us to take our pro-life efforts beyond the saving of innocent lives, to the saving of the very souls who would take those lives, even the abortionist himself, for whom Christ died.

• Here is the answer to the unspeakable pain and devastation in the world from one who is no stranger to its effects.
• Learn how a seemingly simple airport encounter became a demonstration of our fallen, heart-broken world.
• Hear the blessed words of a great psalm of Scripture that demonstrates God’s knowledge and choice of us even before we were born—the psalm that became Ros’ favorite!
