  • Joining the Catholic Church is not like joining a gym or a political party. It takes time, and involves a whole process. What one has to do depends on who they are and what they need.

      Congrats to you 🙄🙏 I’m just starting my journey and I’d love to hear about your experience sometime (If comfortable)💕 I’m sure you felt God’s presence to do what you’re doing and the same goes for me (Baptized Presbyterian) when I was younger but I feel Peace just by finding a Catholic Church nearby and reaching out to the Director of their program 🥹 It’s time to surround ourselves with a Community that is of service to God, the Church, each other, and the Community around us! There’s so much to learn about but I’m excited 😊 for you and me!
      Blessings To You 💯

You basically meet with the parish RCIA group every Wed night, where you meet other people interested in Catholic faith, the priest and religious sister in charge and the group of parishioners who help you in the process. It begins in Sept and runs until Easter, at which point if you decide so, you are received into Roman Catholic Church. With this group you attend Mass, meet individually as needed for coffee to discuss your own journey, ask questions, etc. Plus, there is usually goodies in the beginning of the session.

I have Muslim friends who live in Muslim countries who have converted, even though they face death penalty under their constitution for this action.

      Maybe you have to relax your standards, I'm probably supposed to bring her back to the faith. That may be your role as well.

    The RCIA was an amazing process and an experiance that opened a whole new life to me. To be able to go through the process and being confirmed on Easter this year was a deeply moving experiance and just the start to my spiritual journey. It is amazing to know that I am not alone in my journey and that Jesus is walking the path with me each step of the way.

Unfortunately most diocesese have a uniform RCIA and already Baptized Christians like myself in Atlanta have to go through everything Catechecumens go through except for Baptism of course. Lord willing I’ll finally be Confirmed on June 11th

      Not true lol. Read John 1, Hebrews 1. God gave man the Bible, Catholic faith directly opposes what God said in the Bible, so no.. it's not even a true faith. Read Acts 2, that's the church Jesus founded. Not the Catholic church established 100s of years after Jesus died. Use your brain. Read the Bible and you know Catholicism isnt true, read the early church writers, they even prove Catholics to be frauds. Especially the hierarchy of leadership within the catholic church, you can read the New Testament and see God never instituted any of what the catholic faith practices or spews. So... do some more digging because this is an obvious fraudulent church, just read about Jesus condemnation of the religious leaders of his day and you'll see it's all a legitimate condemnation of the catholic religion, from its inception to today.

    Won’t lie I’m really thinking about it. I was raised Protestant but ended up finding love in college. She’s catholic and we talk about faith a lot and there are a lot of things my church did I had some issues with. The entire experience has always felt so... loose? I suppose would be a good way to call it. As if we take a laid back attitude to everything. After hearing more from her experiences especially with marriage being an option I can’t help but think maybe it would be better to convert. Half my family is catholic so it I wouldn’t be the first

  • @TheChristianFairy
    @TheChristianFairy Před 6 lety +2

    Thanks for making a video about this! I'd love to eventually see someone make videos with candidates/catechumens as they go through the process from week to week. As a candidate, I have a weird background. I wasn't raised with any religious education for the first 7 years of my life. Then, I started attending methodist and non-denominational churches and was baptized using the adult form at age 11 in a methodist church. I attending various churches until age 19 when I got involved in a weird religious group. Brother Casey, have you ever heard of the Hebrew Roots Movement or Messianic Judaism? It's a syncretist movement that combines Judaism and evangelical Christianity. They keep many old testament laws and some congregations assert almost too much control over their members. Some congregational leaders (they call themselves "Rabbis") are pretty anti-catholic. It took a lot of courage for me to finally see that it was a very unhealthy environment, and even more courage for me to step into the office and start talking to the RCIA coordinator face-to-face. Brother Casey, have you ever run into anyone that used to be a part of this particular movement? IF you do, it might be helpful to point out the parts of the mass that are similar to the Passover meal. That was something that really filled me with awe when I figured it out. It's been difficult to transition between two vastly different religious groups. Sometimes I miss my old life. It was particularly hard when everyone started posting fb pictures of all of these Hanukkah celebrations that I was no longer invited to.

    • @TheChristianFairy
      @TheChristianFairy Před 6 lety +1

      Interesting is it for sure. Well, now you can say that you've met a former member of the movement, at least online that is. I'm strongly regretting my involvement because it wasn't the healthiest of organizations and they had a lot of misinformation. I recommend that you check out a video by Godly Dragon Reviews and Apologetics. It talks about some of the problems faced by members of the movement and the reason why this person decided to leave was pretty similar to mine. After I started RCIA, I made a joke to some of my fellow candidates and said that I was almost tempted to host a huge halloween party where I served ham because I now had the freedom to do so :) Anyways, pray for me and pray that other people being deceived will find a way out of the more abusive congregations associated with this movement. Here's the video I talked about:

    Interesting, I'm in the Second group mentioned then if I have been baptized and received communion in a non-Catholic denomination. It would still be a question of whether going through the confirmation class but not actively putting myself before the congregation in the church service counts. Of course, I didn't like that the confirmation ceremony was only in the second service, and I was angry that my parents wouldn't sit through another version of the worship service in order to support me. I was in Junior High at the time.

    @anthonylowder6687 Před rokem +2

    I never went through the R.C.I.A.
    But I went through a very bare bone and quick version of it 10 years ago.
    Before being sentenced to a 10 year prison term for something I wasn't guilty of I wanted to become Catholic so the parish priest of the local Catholic Church in my town came and officially had me join the Church which had all the rites and ceremony of the R.C.I.A.
    Also some Catholic friends of mine would visit me and began to prepare me for the initiation into the Catholic Church. It took several weeks because the priest was constantly busy but I was officially brought into the Catholic Church and my Confirmation papers as far as I know is still on file with the local Church…..that was 10 years ago April 13 2012 (a Friday the 13th!!).
    However since that time I left the faith because of the conflict with the Church and my Baptist upbringing gave me doubts as to what the Church taught as I was never really instructed on the Church’s beliefs and doctrines.
    Now I have a fiancée who is Catholic and I want to become Catholic again so that our different faiths won’t cause problems (and we have had our fair share of “disagreements” over the last 2 years).
    My question is this because I was officially accepted into the Catholic Church and my paperwork is still on file with the local Church do I have to go through the R.C.I.A. Program?

    • @miracles_metanoia
      @miracles_metanoia Před rokem

      Depends on the priest. If you attend very regularly and know him well, and you also watch/ read apologetic videos or the "catholic catechism in a year" youtube series, you might be confirmed more quickly than someone starting totally fresh without any christian background. Depends on the church. Check out traditional Latin services:)

I figured out that I didn't agree with many of the Roman Catholic rules and beliefs, but did agree with the Liturgical practice, ordained Priesthood, administrative structure, etc. So i did not proceed to the next stage. Hence it helped me figure out what i believed, and I found the Episcopal Church and it fit me like a glove. Still Catholic, just not the Roman-style.
