catholic question?

Question

what does a person raised in the brethern church have to do to come into the catholic church

ive been thinking about converting since i got out of the service and came home to find out that i have been excumunicated

Answer 1

Same as anyone else...lessons on faith and sincerity. Nothing else.

Answer 2

My wife was Mennonite and later attended Brethern Churches because the Mennonites lacked local community.

You simply have to visit the local church. I noticed that Brethern and Mennonites were very bigoted regarding Catholicism. It is sad when you consider their beliefs in other areas. Menno Simmons really created a non-sacramental Franciscan community when he created the Mennonites. The brethern are very similar.

I am sorry to hear they excommunicated you. Their anti-Catholic feelings are very strong.

Go to a Catholic Church and visit the priest. They have a spiritual preparation program. Since you are already baptized, you will be given confirmation and communion only at the Easter vigil and will be fully Catholic.

Answer 3

If you were baptized Catholic before you followed other churches, I think you don't have to do anything but to confess and go back to the fold. Catholics will never say that you are wrong like they never said that you were wrong when you left the Catholic faith. You are still a Christian and that what is important because no one can save you not even the preachings of the evengelists but you alone can save yourself by leading a straight path with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Answer 4

Actually, you don't have to do anything to join us in mass and come in the Catholic church. But to be Baptized,or Confirmed, you can go to a church near you, or one you like and talk to a priest. They will be more than happy to help you become a Catholic.

Answer 5

Go to your nearest catholic church and ask someone there. They will give you guidance on what to do. There are several classes to take. Truthfully the catholic church is a little more complicated than most churches. But it will be worth it!

Answer 6

Catholic churches have adult education classes that roll all of the necessary sacrements into one... usually you are baptised, go to penance (confession) recieve holy communion, and are confirmed all in one fell swoop... Usually on Easter Sunday. Your best bet is to call the rectory of your neighborhood catholic church & talk to the priest, they will get you all fixed up.

Answer 7

Jesus has whispered your name and you want to answer his call.

If you are interested in learning more about the Catholic Church, contact your local parish and ask about information about their RCIA Inquiry group.

You can go and ask any questions you want.

This is the first step in RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) but you can stop at any time.

There is no obligation to become a Catholic.

With love and prayers in Christ.

Answer 8

Dont know what the brthren church is so cant give you an answer if it is a christian church there should be none.
