Catholic AnswerYes, of course you may join the RCIA. It usually starts, in most parishes in August and runs until the following Easter - approximately nine months. You need to speak with a priest, either call the office of your local Catholic Church or speak with the priest after Mass and tell him that you are interesting in joining the RCIA program.Wiki User

Can you marry a Catholic if you are a born again Christian?
Catholics may only marry other Catholics. In the event of a Catholic falling in love with a non-Catholic, the usual recourse is for the non-Catholic to attend RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults).

Should they decide not to convert, then the Catholic must receive special permission from the Bishop along with certain assurances. It is always best if the non-Catholic can convert, marriage can be difficult in the best of times, and it certainly helps if both the spouses are on the same page with regard to religion, raising the children, being open to life, etc.
