Thinking about becoming Catholic, any of y'all find the Church later in life?

Also, just anything I should know in general?

>>508162711 (OP)
Become orthodox. Catholicism is cucked.

Go listen to Jay Dyer if you're serious. He is critiquing Roman Catholicism on a daily basis. And I'll leave you with one verse:
>Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
>Hebrews 13:5 KJVAAE

Shills hate catholic because they can’t subvert or destroy it.

>>508163040
You are a kike.

>>508163101
The Church is still standing while the cult of Iron Dome is getting annihilated as we speak.

Obviously a huge percentage of the church is buried underground.

>>508163124
You said "subvert or destroy". I just showed you a Priest approved by the Archdiocese surrounded by Tranny flags. Now you're talking about Kikes in Israel.

>>508162711 (OP)
Avoid all the tradlarpers and e-Catholics. Lead a prayerful and try to be virtuous.

>>508163314
You seem to put these kikes boogeyman above God. Fun fact. God always win.

God is the ultimate boogeyman, not your likes long nose cunts

Of course. I will talk about them. Them. Getting annihilated is the result of them talking shit to God.

I'm just waiting for the first ones to call a crudade against kikes or sand niggers for the holy land. No one has. Fucking catholics, protestants, lutherans, calvinists, orthodox, hell even fucking mormons.

Just patiently waiting for the first ones to put heads on pikes for me to join in.

Until then, total sand nigger death. Total pajeet sikh hindu jain buddhist death. Total spic death. Total chink death. Total kike death. Total turk death. Total European liberal/leftist death.

Cult of Iron Dome. hhahahhahaha

Retake Constantinople and I will convert.

>>508162711 (OP)
I converted in 2008 to Catholicism from Presbyterianism (USA.) I went through RCIA and was Confirmed at the Easter Vigil. The Roman Catholic Church is the Church founded by Jesus Christ. Furthermore, the Latin Rite is our true patrimony. If you have a TLM in our diocese, I highly suggest it. More than simply reducing things to Sunday Mass, we should live liturgically. There is the Divine Office for clerics, but for us we can imbibe the richness of liturgical life with Dom Guéranger's Liturgical Year, the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin, performing a lifestyle of prayer and always pursuing grace through an unceasing practice of good works.

I pray your conversion happens. Ave Maria.

I grew up in it, was an altar boy etc, considered becoming a priest, but s=decided against it. I'm not religious now.
There is a lot to like about Catholicism. Of course it revolves around deep faith etc but it's a more intellectual and thoughtful approach than the drooling literalism of the evangelicals. The catholic church has produced a large number of serious thinkers.
If you're joining for political validation (which I guess you are because of your memeflag) then you can find plenty of that but I think you'll be missing the point and you won't find the spiritual comfort you're after..

Reformed theology is solid white man's Protestantism.

Good for redpills but after many years dealing with sedes, there are a lot of genuine schizos in the movement and the Dimond brothers are among them.

>>508163772
>>508163847
You are not a Roman Catholic according to the Pope. But you believe all Protestants and even Orthodox are hellbound. Truly a meme denomination.

>>508162711 (OP)
>just anything I should know in general?
The Catholic Church was funded by the own Christ. Saint Peter was the first pope. It's the safe way to heaven. The Virgin Mary will always intercede for you. You are welcomed, friend.

>>508162964
100%, why?
>>508163332
Yeah agreed, I'm not interested in being some "based dick-measuring tradcath", I am more interested in the Church
>>508163510
I'll pray for you, you seem hateful
>>508163724
I appreciate the prayers! Gonna go to mass for the first time this weekend, God willing it's in His plan and right for me and I do RCIA this year.
>>508163727
Grew up around a lot of evangelicals, that's how I knew protestantism isn't for me. I really like the reverence and thoughtfulness of the Church. Honestly don't really care about the politics of it

>>508162711 (OP)
>any of y'all find the Church later in life?
Yes.

>just anything I should know in general?
only do it if you believe what the Church teaches. there are plenty of places you can go with a "based" history, plenty of places with traditional liturgies, plenty of places who say Christ is the Son of God. you don't have to be Catholic to find any of that. so if that's why you want to be Catholic, you're better off just being orthodox or something. only become Catholic because you believe every single thing the Catholic Church teaches and you're willing to believe it even if you think you disagree with it. otherwise, you'll just end up breaking promises you didn't even really want to make.

>>508164411
idk if I believe everything yet (not like I disagree with I mean I literally just don't know it all yet) or any of that, it's really just that
- The Eucharist makes sense to me
- The intercession of saints seems comforting
- Apostolic succession feels real (idk i don't have a better way of explaining it)
and finally and probably most important to me
- I just feel a pull towards the Catholic church and have for a while

>>508162711 (OP)
The Catholic Church ceased to exist by the early 60's.

>>508164352
Go read The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. It's a murder mystery set in a medieval monastery but you'll get two things out of it: a superficial but decent feel for the different philosophical currents within catholicism, and a deep feel for the emotional experience of being catholic. Although I'm no longer religious for a variety of reasons I still think there's a lot to admire about it. If it resonates with you I hope it brings you happiness.

>>508164338
kek well played anon

>>508165009
Go sign up for a rcia class it's basically a crash course in all the basics you need to know about Catholicism and you can get your sacraments done. Just go to your local parish and they should have sign ups.

>>508164352
It's a big church with a lot of modern degradation: there's a chance your RCIA instructors are modernist or just plain dumb and you might have to look around a while to find a properly reverent church but it can be done. And when you do, there will be typical politics but sounds like you are prepared to ignore that nonsense and do the grind. It's worth it.

>>508165009
that sounds about right. you could try to schedule some time to talk to a priest, or if and when you feel ready, just sign up for catechism classes. only you can decide if it's what you really want though. i won't try to sell you on it, because it should sell itself. i'll just say, in my opinion, if you go in you should be ready to go all in. once and for all. whatever you choose to do, good luck and God bless.

>>508165908
>>508165978
RCIA/OCIA/Catechism classes are in a couple months near me. Sounds like a good way to see if this is the path God will lead me on.

>>508166336
My own personal shill would be to attend Mass and observe and maybe check out the heralds of the gospel on YouTube since they do daily Gospel meditations that are no more than 10 minutes long and they're a pretty traditionalist religious order

>>508166628
Will be going this Sunday, any advice? I'm a bit nervous. I know not to take the Eucharist but other than that I'm a bit out of my depth

>>508165123
2nd vaticant reformation
It's pozzed by free masons as shit, a dying cult.

>>508168093
Bro, you should confess first. This will take a huge weight off your shoulders and then you will be able to take communion.

I did. I was a protestant for a while, but after moving around the world several times, I found protestant Churches had no core beliefs. Every Church taught something different. It was the whim of the pastor, or the guy funding the Church, what that Churches message was. I really lost faith when I asked my Baptist minister for help finding a Church in my new location, and he recommended me a Church that was the opposite of what he had taught me.

I went with Orthodoxy for a while, and frankly loved it. The pastor there taught me a lot, it was truly spiritual, and I felt like I'd finally been praising God rather than learning about him. It was great, finding several Churches don't recognize each other, as well as the impossibility for a Council to be called to iron it out, made me realize there was something ultimately wrong.

I entered a Catholic Church, they tripped over themselves to teach me. They pulled an English speaking priest from another Church to give me one on one classes. It has authority. I'm still in love with the Byzantine Rite though, but thankfully, there's Eastern Catholics that are in full communion with the Pope.

If there's an Eastern Catholic Church near you, check it out. It's great.

Pick up a catechism and look up fr Chad Ripperger.

I was baptized but basically raised an atheist. Began to ask certain questions, came to the conclusion that Gos is real and Christ was who He said He was. Never been to church until last year. My life has completely changed since then.
Go to your local church and attend Mass this sunday. Don't walk up for Communion, that's not for you (yet). You won't know any of the words, that's fine. You don't have to give any money. You can probably talk to people after service, just say you're interested in the church and would like to speak to the pastor. If at any moment you feel like it's not for you, then that's fine, although I would of course encourage you to keep going.
Besides that, just trust that God is all-knowing, all-loving and all-powerful and that He put you on this path for a reason.
Oh and watch The Chosen, its free

>>508163101
Report this stuff to the Bishop, retard
People complain, but then never do something to solve the problem
ACT YOU NIGGER

>>508165009
A big thing that helped me was realizing I wasn't a theologian. I wasn't trying to be a priest. I studied the faith, and I do know quite a bit, but I am in no way invested as much as people who do this all day, every day, with far greater resources than myself.

Why would my interpretation correct? It's probably not, and that was a great pride I needed to swallow. I needed to humble myself as a child.

Matthew 18:4
"Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven"

This verse really helped my conversion to Catholicism. It might sound strange, or sometimes frustrating, but it doesn't really matter what you think. The Church has been doing this for two thousand years, while you probably dabble in it.

Also a great resource is the "Catechism of the Catholic Church". It's an 800+ page book that lays down exactly what Catholics believe to the minute detail. There's plenty of niche topics too. It's cheap on Amazon, but also if you contact a Catholic Church and ask for one, I'm almost positive they'd be happy to give you one, no questions asked.

>>508169320
>"Report it to a Bishop"
This "church" is listed as active on the Archdiocese of New York.

Yeah, lash out like a demon when you have some light shined on you.

He should refrain from taking communion until he understands the importance of it and intends to join the Church
>>508168093
Feel free to just sit in the back and pay attention. Grab a missal it's a small book that has all the responses you will need and the readings for the day. The mass can be broken down into a few major parts. The beginning is the penitential act and the readings from the old and new testaments. The priest will give a lesson related to the readings called a homily. After this the last part of the mass is the Eucharist, recitation of the nicean creed, and the our father. Should be 45 minutes to 1 hour total.

I just don't get trinitarianism

Is he was god, then he needed to be breastfed, couldn't fly etc

Then there's the issue of noah. How tall was he and how long did he live.

Its the same with hajjis believing that he went through space on a horse and it was PHYSICAL not SPIRITUAL

>>508162711 (OP)
God is within you, what the fuck do you mean becoming catholic? what for? if you like catholicism because you find the people there are mostly conservative or family oriented and whatnot then just be it, you don't need a fucking document signed by the pope for it. Just read the bible, find God and act according to good values and good nature. What a fucking load of faggotry, it's all appearances and identity belonging with americans, you faggots need a fucking club for eveything, even for a unique personal relationship with absolute truth. lmao
