Talk to a preacher about it. Usually as an infant, you're baptized into it.

nope, you don't have to be born one. It does take a while to become a part of it if you weren't baptized as an infant. it varies, though. talk to a pastor or someone you know that is a practicing catholic and see what you can do to join. <3

You dont have to be born one you can talk to a catholic preacher about it and theyll direct you on how to become one..by the way those people who are calling you a wannabe are being alittle ignorant. Atleast you made your own decision about what you wanted to believe. Everyones diffrent and thats ok and it doesnt make anyone better or worse.Youl just have to go to classes and get confirmed and baptised or you could just adopt it has a belief its however or whatever your comfortable with.

You don't have to be born one, go to a church and talk to the priest about it. I think you've confused catholic with christian, though. If you believe in god you are a christian, if you believe in god and that the pope is his messenger on earth, then you are catholic.
