Talk to a Priest and he will get you into classes to become a Catholic.

You need to get yourself acquainted with the Catechism or some basic Catholic Doctrine classes. Ask a Catholic Church, priest, friend, nun or organization or any Catholic to help you out. Usually, the Parish pastoral council or some of the lay organizations helping out in the parish might help you out too. RCIA or Catechism classes are offered to people who want to know about Catholicism. I will put you as a contact. Some of the questions I answered might answer some of your questions too. A good Catholic priest would also be a good source of advice. Welcome to the Catholic church! Lots of love from your Catholic family. God bless you and see you in heaven someday.

Congratulations - it's wonderful that you've started your journey to becoming a member of the Catholic Church! You can start the process by joining RCIA. Talk to a local parish priest, or if you live by the cathedral of your diocese, then you can head there and talk about RCIA.
There are many myths surrounding the Church so please be careful of what you read and hear. You'll find that the biggest critics of the Church are ex-Catholics and Protestants. Remember to keep your head high.
I would suggest heading to the website www.usccb.org. The site has an online Catholic Bible (New American Bible) and the Catechism (everything that Catholics believe).
Good luck on your conversion and may the Lord bless you and keep you.

Sweetie, you need to talk to a priest. There are classes you will need to take.
I am a Christian, and from some of the answers you have gotten here...many people are criticizing you for your desire to convert. I'll tell you what. My Aunt is Catholic and I completely, and totally admire her. I would never question her faith in God!!! She has a relationship with God, that I have only seen in a few people. She still believes that Jesus (God's son) died to save us from our sins. So, if you choose to convert, let the decision be yours and not someone else's. God Bless!!

If you are an adult you have to take catechism called RCIA. It is a class that teaches you the beliefs and what everything means. On Easter Sunday you will be inducted into the church. Call the rectory at any catholic church. They would love to speak to you. If you are a child you will take the class with other children.

all you need to do my sister is you must have this strong faith that God is always loving you no matter what your religion is but if you feel to be a catholic thats a great idea caz your decission will make you more strong and first you must try to see if you are ready to have this another belief but actually its just same only a little different but everything will be ok so u need to aproach one friend who is actually religius and try to ask her what is your best thingd to do and you aproach to the priest and tell him everything and for dure he will be very glad to help u actually u will just be baptise and then thats all ok GOD bless you too hope you will be very happy to be a catholic goodluck

Get in touch with the nearest Catholic parish in your area. You will have to attend catechism too before you get baptized.

I was a R.C. for 35 years and now a Bible-Believing Christian.
Why would you want to follow man-made rules? Col. 2:8
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty
deceit, according to the traditions of men, according to the
principles of the world, and not according to Christ. I'm not
saying R.C.'s aren't Christian, but why would you give up bible
truth for man made traditions from the Pope.

Go to your local Catholic church.....talk to the priest....he will help you....you will have to take instruction and be baptized in the Catholic faith....that's pretty much all there is to it......

Don't think about it in that terms, It doesn't matter what you call yourself, Babtist or catholic, you are a christian , and believe in what ever it is that you do. Don't worry about the title, the inside of the book tells all. just believe.
