Hi, guys —

I am considering converting to Catholicism from Lutheranism.

  • What process must I take to become a Catholic?

Thanks,

Trent

I used to run a free program that sent Catechisms to seeking Protestants and non-Christians but I no longer have the financial or operational means to do this anymore. Nevertheless, if you wish to go deeper, consider buying a cheap copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church to learn everything we believe as Catholics.
