I have been baptized, had my first communion and have been confirmed in the Catholic Church. What do I need to do to convert back to Roman Catholocism?

I'm kind of wondering why you converted to Judaism, if it's because you got married, and felt the need to convert because of it, or if it's because you are still seeking your place in the cosmos? It's not uncommon to do so for a marriage, of course, I was married to a Jewish man who asked me to convert, and I didn't because I didn't think it was the right thing for me, but that is a perfectly valid and common choice when you are settling down, and you should be good to go if you go around to some area churchs, find one where you like the energy, meet with the priest, and take confession, though I am not sure what thier attitude would be if you got divorced, if the marriage wasn't sanctioned by the RCC in the first place.
If you converted to Judaism just because you wanted to, and spent alot of time on soul searching about it, and decided that the RCC is really where you belong, then good for you, and you can come back with a unique perspective, for having the opportunity to study in Judaism as well.
If it's that you aren't sure where you belong, and think you should return to Catholicism because it's what you know, and it's comfortable, that's another matter though, and you won't be offering yourself or the Christ your best if you do it for that reason. If that is the case, why not look at leaving Judaism as a reason to explore for awhile? Maybe just look around at the different religions in general, take some comparative religion classes maybe, or look into the Universalist / Unitarian churches? Beliefnet doesn't offer alot of in-depth stuff, but they do offer a good basic over view of pretty much any religion you can think of out there, and if you read over some of the descriptions of some of the religions and see one you would like to know more about, you can search more fully and in depth on the www, and go from there to looking for more personalized instruction. Whatever the situation is, I wish you good luck on your path....

Judaism welcomes converts. you would be taken care of with the comparable understand and - albeit careful - friendship as the different potential 'jew by ability of selection'. no count if a individual has any Jewish historical past or no longer does not make a distinction; they are going to be taken care of the comparable regardless. become the Jewish historical past by ability of making use of your mom's maternal line? If no longer, it won't unquestionably count quantity in any respect, because of the fact Judaism passes by ability of making use of the mum, continuously. you would be, as are all converts, considered as *completely* Jewish in case you probably did pass by using a ideal Orthodox conversion. For a Conservative or Reform conversion, mutually as they're nonetheless thorough, Orthodox won't count quantity you as Jewish.

Nothing unless you broke in a documented format. Although in order to receive the Eucharist you'll need to go to confession ( I assume you missed Mass during this period). And congratulations on being a good Catholic and a good Jew. More people should seek the place where they feel the Creator can use them best.
P.S. We missed you. Welcome home!

I am not sure because that is a highly unique situation. I think you are really still Catholic and just need to go back and talk to the priest.

Actually, I think nothing. Once Catholic, always Catholic as far as I know, unless you were ex-communicated. I would talk to a priest to be sure.

Why don't you decide what you believe first? Before you decide to convert to something else a couple of years from now.

Holy Mother Church welcomes you back with open arms! Do talk to a priest, but I think it may be as simple as just going to confession.

Just come home. You probably should talk to a priest. You need to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation. But other than that you should be good to go. Welcome back.
God bless,

Just start believing in it. No one's going to send someone from your old synagogue to spy on you.
