Hi, Adam —
Thanks for the question.
No, it won't be any problem at all. Becoming a Catholic
is a pretty easy, step by step process.
The first step is finding a Catholic Church close
to where you live and trying to find a priest known
for his faithfulness to the Church's Magisterium
and Holy Father.
You'll want to make an appointment and sign up for a RCIA program which usually lasts a few months up to April. Depending on your specific situation, there can be excepts to this.
The priest bringing you into the Church will be able to give you the best advice.
Here is a page
I created just for questions like yours:
You said:
- Will it be hard to convert
from a Non-denominational Christian to a Catholic Christian?
It depends on your religious background up to now. If you have had a strong Protestant upbringing, you probably have many misperceptions about the Church's teachings.
Although you can't make generalizations, many of our differences on faith-sharing topics come from two different faith-sharing approaches:
- the Protestant faith-sharing approach presents the Catholic with two or more [either|or] faith views to choose from, where as
- the Catholic faith-sharing view usually [holds/believes] both faith views presented to them in some manner.
A great way to clear up many, many misperceptions about the Church is by reading Karl Keating's book:
Here are some other very good resources as well:
A great way to learn the basic teachings of the Catholic faith is to get a cheap copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on Amazon.
Hope this helps,
Mike
