* Believe in God with all of your heart * Believe in Jesus the Savior * Believe in the Virgin Mary * Be Baptized by a Priest * Believe that Jesus saved us from sin
Before you do anything, go to the nearest Catholic bookstore and buy a copy of The Catechism of the Catholic Church. If you have any doubts about what someone is saying about the Catholic faith, this book has the right answers.
Then, go to the nearest Catholic church and ask how to enroll in their RCIA program. This program may take one to two years, depending on if you have been validly baptized yet. In the meantime, go to Sunday Mass and other Masses as often as possible, but do not receive Communion yet (instead, when in the Communion line, cross your arms over your chest with your palms inward, and you'll receive a blessing). And most important of all: establish a time every day for prayer; if you do not pray, your faith will fail, guaranteed.
ANSWER:
1. You can read the Catechism of the Catholic Church online, here: http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/ccc_toc.htm
2. RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation) into the Catholic Church takes about 3 to 5 months.
3. If you've not been baptized a Christian, then you'll be baptized, confirmed and receive Communion for the first time on Easter, usually the Easter Vigil Mass which is really quite beautiful and takes place the night before Easter Sunday morning. :-)
to become catholic
Mother Teresa did not decide to become a Catholic. She was born a Catholic.
Yes. You can become a Catholic even if you were not married in the Catholic church. You must go and see the Father at your local church and inform him of your desire to become Catholic and he will take you through the process. You may be required to complete confession before you can convert.
You have to convert from your current religion to Catholicism. Then you need to become baptized in the Catholic church.
Yes, everyone is welcome in the Catholic Church
No you actually only have to go to classes and study the Catholic Church teachings at the church that you want to become Catholic. The only thing you might have to buy is a Catholic book that they might recommend, but other then that it is completely free to become a catholic . God Bless
Not as far as the Catholic Church is concerned.
In order to become a Roman Catholic monk you need to be between the age of 20 and 40. You will need to be a Roman Catholic man to become a Catholic Monk.
Because when you are a catholic, you are in a community that believes in God.
No. Only men are allowed to become Priests in the Catholic Church. Women however can become Nuns. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.
No you are not a born catholic but you can be born into a family that is catholic. To become catholic you must be baptized
I don't think he was catholic, but he prayed to God on his deathbed.
