From my understanding she can convert. How old is she? I think you might want to keep her in your church until she becomes an adult. Then she's free to join the religion or church of her choice.

Yes, she can convert to Catholicism.

"For Anglicans and others whose former denominations have a lot in common with Catholicism, becoming Catholic could entail a simple service of reception into the Church, followed by confirmation either that day or later. For others, the process may involve a year-long program called RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. If you are unbaptized, or were baptized in a manner not recognized as valid by the Catholic Church, you may have to be baptized before joining. This means you must willingly accept Jesus as Lord and profess this before the Church and world at your baptism. The point is that becoming Catholic may require some time and effort on your part. As the saying goes, "the best things come to those who wait." It is well worth the year-long wait, and in addition to (ideally) getting a solid grounding in the Catholic faith, you will develop friendships in RCIA that will last a lifetime. Don't feel too badly though, because in the early Church the catechesis process was three years long and very intense!"

I suggest your daughter talk to a local Parish Priest to find out more information about the Catholic Faith and what conversion may entail for her.

Religion should be about teaching spirituality. It doesn't matter what church you go to if you are a more spiritual person then that's the bottom line. Too much focus is placed on religion and the rules that religion dictates and less focus on filling a spiritual need and how it makes us better human beings. If you all worship the same God and the bottom line is the same it shouldn't matter what church you attend.

It depends on your daughter's age and maturity. If she is in her teens then she can probably convert.

If she is interested in joining or just learning more about the Catholic Church, contact your local parish and ask about information about their RCIA Inquiry group. Be sure to tell them your daughter's age.

She (and you) can go and ask any questions you want.

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

There is no obligation to become a Catholic.

With love and prayers in Christ.

Yes. My brother and his wife were married in the Anglican Church but when they began their family she converted to Catholicism. She had to take a course but from what I understand her baptism, their wedding etc. was considered valid and she didn't redo any of that. There was a ceremony welcoming her into the church at the end of her course.

Yes, and it won't be a radical difference in the services. You family is Anglican and my wife's family is Episcopal. We have both attended many Catholic services and they're are a lot of similarities. Your daughter will have to take classes before she joins the church so she will have an opportunity to re-consider her decision. While I do enjoy the pomp and circumstance of Catholic services at time, the infallibility of the Pope doctrine is unacceptable to me.

It's all the same poppycock. So if she is as gullible as you then I suppose it's possible.
