How do you convert to Catholicism?

Question

also, i've never been baptised...

Answer 1

you have to sacrifice a small animal under a full moon or drink the blood of a virgin at idnight

Answer 2

You will need to study the Catechism, i.e. the 'Rule Book' of Catholicism, and acquaint yourself with everything that the Catholic religion stands for.

You will need to be supervised in this study by a Catholic Priest.

When the Priest thinks you are ready he will arrange for you to be Baptised.

Following Baptism you will need to take First Holy Communion and then be Confirmed, after which you are accepted as a fully communicating Catholic.

Baptism normally follows shortly after birth, First Holy Communion at age 7 and Confirmation around 14, but if you are older you could probably accomplish all this in a shorter timespan.

Answer 3

Talk to a priest. You can be baptized pretty much anytime you want. It takes a while to complete the conversion process. The cycle ends soon because we always give new converts their first communion on Easter Sunday. It takes a while so that you are educated about what you are converting to. In the meantime you can still attend Masses you just can't receive the Eucharist.

Answer 4

You need to have a good reason to do this. If you are truly interested I suppose talking to a priest at your local church would be helpful. But why would you do this? Have you been spiritually moved by Catholicism. There are many different Christian churches and they very alot. If you are interested in Christianity you should read your Bible and decided which religion is the most biblically accurate. This is not a decision that should be taken lightly.

Answer 5

If one wants to convert to Catholicism they simply start taking lessons from a priest, and when the lessons are done one can be baptized and confirmed, I know this because I am a convert.

Answer 6

Ok , first go to a Catholic priest he will tell you the process, second pray earnestly to God the almighty for guidance, Third accept Christ as the The Only way the truth and the life, thats the main things to do the rest is bible study and applications of it.

Answer 7

I you have a desire to convert to Catholicism, I suggest that you go to a Catholic Church and speak with one of the Priests. I believe that there is a period of instruction into the Catholic Faith. The decision to convert is yours, and yours alone. Since you were not baptized in any faith, you would, as part of your conversion be Baptized in the Catholic Faith. God grant you wisdom and peace.

Answer 8

Basically it's a study thing with questions and answers from you.
Since it's false religion, enjoy the ride, since it will be a short one.
According to the bible, God is about to destroy false religion.
And by the way, don't you read the newspaper or watch the news on TV. The catholic church is world recognized as being in trouble. Entire dioceses are filing for bankruptcy because whole congregations are quitting.
The bible tells people to get out of false religion!

Answer 9

You have to take RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) classes. When the classes are finished you can join the Church. Baptism can happen at any time, but the priest will most likely ask you to wait until after the classes.

Answer 10

If you ask a priest at your local Catholic church, he should be able to answer your question. The process of joining the Catholic church will likely include a baptism & classes on the history & catechism of the church, but as I said, a Catholic priest would be able to answer the question more thoroughly.

Answer 11

If you are interested in joining or just 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.
