would you convert religions if you were either roman catholic to protestant or vice versa if...?

Question

the person you want to spend the rest of your life with says that it is really important for them to be with someone of their own faith?

Answer 1

The faith is the same between roman catholic and protestant churches. The religion is different. I would hope you can find some common ground just being Christians.

Answer 2

I was raised Roman Catholic, and became just 'protestant.' I found it rather freeing. Catholicism for me, anyway, seemed to rely more on 'religion' rather than the faith, or in the bible. I know we both honor the same 'God', but to me the biggest difference was not praying to Mary, and other saints. I think I was raised with alot of guilt trips being "Catholic", thats what I mean when I said 'freeing.' That's been my experience. To become Catholic to honor another person, hmmm, couldn't do it today, knowing what I know. So, the decision is a difficult one. I know some churches have more progressive priests than others, and some tend to rely more on the bibile than ritual. So, it also depends on the church you go to. Good luck, peace in Christ!

Answer 3

I converted to Catholicism.

Protestants being thus impious enough to make liars of Jesus Christ, of the Holy Ghost, and of the Apostles, need we wonder if they continually slander Catholics, telling and believing worse absurdities about them than the heathens did? What is more absurd than to preach that Catholics worship stocks and stones for gods; set up pictures of Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and other saints, to pray to them, and put their confidence in them; that they adore a god of bread and wine; that their sins are forgiven by the priest, without repentance and amendment of life; that the pope or any other person can give leave to commit sin, or that for a sum of money the forgiveness of sins can be obtained ? To these and similar absurdities and slanders, we simply answer: "Cursed is he who believes in such absurdities and falsehoods, with which Protestants impiously charge the children of the Catholic Church. All those grievous transgressions are another source of their reprobation."

"But what faith can we learn from these false teachers when, in consequence of separating from the Church, they have no rule of faith? ... How often Calvin changed his opinions! And, during his life, Luther was constantly contradicting himself: on the single article of the Eucharist, he fell into thirty-three contradictions! A single contradiction is enough to show that they did not have the Spirit of God. "He cannot deny Himself" (II Timothy 2:13). In a word, take away the authority of the Church, and neither Divine Revelation nor natural reason itself is of any use, for each of them may be interpreted by every individual according to his own caprice ... Do they not see that from this accursed liberty of conscience has arisen the immense variety of heretical and atheistic sects? ... I repeat: if you take away obedience to the Church, there is no error which will not be embraced.

Answer 4

Uh, no even though I believe that protestants follow the word of God and are True to God they still don't get it to the max and really need to re-examine the bible. I'd never convert I know catholicism is the truth and has been since the time of Jesus.

Answer 6

I think it depends on your own level of faith. I also think that if your partner does care about you, they would respect your choice to stay with your own faith.

Answer 7

it doesnt matter what religion you belong to, it matters what kind of person you are. converting would make you happy, if it proves to be a mistake, you can always convert back

Answer 8

No, I would find someone that I already had enough in common with, that they loved me as I am, and did not want to "train" me to be what they wanted to be.
