Hi, guys —

I'm a Christian who has been baptized in the Lutheran Church. I've been married to my wife for eight years. She is Jewish and was married before.

I've been contemplating converting to Catholicism for a long while now.

  • Are there any requirements?

Thank you and blessings.

James

Mike replied:

Hi James,

Thanks for the question.

I think we have a web posting that answers most of your question:

If not, just follow-up with us.

Any personal or marital situations could be straighten out once you make an appointment at a local Catholic parish to sign up for the RCIA program. They would cover all these issues.

Seeing you may be preparing to take RCIA classes in the near future, I would encourage you to consider buying a cheap copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church to learn everything we believe as faithful Catholics.

Under each boxed format for the Catechism you want, you will see, below the box, an option to buy a used version, which many times, is not really used but close to new.


I hope this helps,

Mike
