People can be converted to whatever they want.
Roman Catholic AnswerIf you are baptized Catholic, then you are bound by the laws of the Catholic Church. This is one of the reasons that, outside of a danger of death, a priest will not baptize an infant without assurance that the child will be raised in the faith. For a Catholic go "convert" to some other religion, including Coptic Orthodox, is known as apostasy and is very serious with respect to their eternal salvation. You would have to check with a priest, the technical term for converting to an Orthodox faith might be schism instead of apostasy. Anyway, it would be a serious sin.Wiki User

What are the Egyptian Coptic Church's relations with Roman Catholic Church?
Yes. The Coptic Catholic Church broke away with the Coptic Orthodox Church to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. This occurred around 1741 under the direction of a Coptic bishop named Amba Athanasius. Athanasius converted to Catholicism with about 2,000 Coptics. Although Althanasius converted back to the Coptic Orthodox Church, most of the people remained and grew into what is now the Coptic Catholic Church. It's important to note that the Coptic Catholic Church is not an independent Church, but a rite under the Catholic Church. The differences between rites are purely cultural, NOT doctrinal. So even though different rites in the Catholic Church may celebrate mass a little differently, they all believe in the same teachings of the Catholic Church and remain loyal to the Pope.
