i am a christian,but i relate much more to the catholic ways. Is it sacriligious to be from a different form of christianity before becoming catholic, and is there a procedure to take before u can be one?

JSIMT answered Friday April 22 2005, 8:04 pm: Im catholic, and its a bunch of bull. sorry if it offends you, but its true, they brainwash the believers into beliveing things, and then they say if you DONT believe something they believe, the you go to hell. well. Im pretty sure they are all going to hell for not believing what THEY want to believe not what a book says. Seriously. The preist called me stupid in front of the entire confirmation class because i believed something that the catholic religion didnt, and another preist told my sister she was going to hell for believeing something the catholic religion didnt believe. so yeah , catholic realigion can go fuck themselves. dont convert, youll only be brainwashed.

Erinn_the_bamf answered Thursday April 21 2005, 3:37 pm: No this is not sacriligous. Yes, there is a procedure to become a Catholic. You go to an RCIA program at a Catholic church. That means once Holy Saturday comes around you will make the sacrments of welcoming to the Catholic church. Those sacrmaents are Baptism, Euchrist (sp?), and Confirmation. After that you are fully a member of the Catholic church. (Note: you may not have to make a Confirmation that day because you may be too young to do so). I hope I helped! ♥ good luck [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
MFS answered Thursday April 21 2005, 1:26 pm: Most Catholic churches have a RCIA program that you'll have to go through. If you're already baptized in another Christian church, you won't have to be baptized again. RCIA ends with you receving the sacriments of 1st Communion and Confirmation at the same time. They usually schedule these for certain times of the year (usually around Easter, they might have them in the fall? again, check with the individual church).
As far as sacrilige... naw... in fact, many of the various christian sects are working hard at more cooperation and unity - we might live to see the day when some various Christians can all attend each other's services openly. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
clotito answered Thursday April 21 2005, 11:06 am: I cannot speak for the specific sacraments involved, but from what I've heard Catholicism never turns down a new convert, be it from another form a Christianity or some other religion entirely. Sacriligiousness doesn't really come into play in this instance. You will probably have to go through First Communion and Confirmation. [ clotito's advice column | Ask clotito A Question ]
