Cradle and self-taught. As a child of the 80’s and 90’s, my religious education was lacking. I got deeper into my faith through music. There is still so much left to learn . . .
 
Like me, Angel 12. I was a candidate and joined two years ago, but it seemed as though I was making my way here for 20 years or so. Just took me a while!
 
Cradle with many fond childhood experiences. My lone exposure as an adult are a few visits to the cathedral, a monastic weekend at a Trappistine monastery, and a second visit to that venue.
 
Revert I guess. I wasnt practicing for about 20 years and only returned in 2012 when my mother was sick.
 
I want to convert to the Catholic faith. The only thing holding me back now is that I need to remain in one physical location for about a year I guess. I move way too often and do not have my own home. My husband and I always have to rent from someone else…I’m not living in my own country either. It is kind of frustrating for me in general, but I am making that sacrifice to be with my husband. He was a cradle Catholic, altar boy, and Catholic most of his life. However, he is now an anti-Catholic Evangelical. He does not support my wanting to become Catholic, so that will be a challenge. If we stay in the neighborhood we’re in, then I will start RCIA in February at the parish here. I already spoke to the priest. He also warned me that this would be very difficult for my marriage, and I replied that it is difficult to be a Christian. He also recommended that I pray a lot to the Virgin Mary and that he will be praying for me.
 
Cradle Catholic - 57 years
Practicing Catholic - 35 years
Good Catholic - well, its been 30 hrs since my last confession…

Peace!!!
 
Would your husband be willing to go to RCIA with you? If he is so against your conversion, perhaps he would want to know what they are going to tell you? May God bless you on your journey. Prayers for you.
 
Convert in 2015.

I was raised in a family with a strong dislike for any form of religion to the degree it was not spoken of and it was absolutely forbidden to attend any type of service.

I began researching different forms of Christianity in college and attended my first mass in 2014 where the final decision was made…
 
cradle catholic & revert (though I never left the church, I simply didn’t attend)
