Confession is how we can receive forgiveness for even our worst sins. As for being confirmed, you would need to talk to your priest.

Once baptized, always baptized.

For starters, I would suggest that you go to your local parish and go to confession, There is nothing you can do to shock the priest, and he is there to give you God’s forgiveness and get you started back on the right path. Outside of confession, go to Mass this next Sunday, and after Mass tell the priest you would like to meet with him, to get starte towards confirmation.

It is very simply and easy, but at the same time hard. I can assure you that you think worse of yourself than the priest does or will, and Christ is waiting for you.
 
You do not need to (and cannot) be baptised again. Nor does your baptism need to be restored. The catechism states that the mark of baptism is indelible. That means that no sin can erase it.

God wants you to turn to Him. The feeling you have of wanting to turn back to God is the Holy Spirit already working within you. Let nothing discourage you.

May I suggest that you find a church close by and go and talk to the priest about your journey. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how warmly and non-judgmentally you are received.

God bless you and I hope you find the peace you seek. As St Augustine said, “Thou hast made us for Thyself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they finds rest in Thee.”
 
Seek out your nearest Catholic parish and talk with a priest. He will tell you all you need to know.
May God bless you in your journey back to the Church. 🙏🙏🙏
 
Another question if I have renounced the Catholic church and her teachings do I have to start over again and be baptized again cause I prayed to God to remove my Catholic baptism and make me Baptist plus I want to have a baptism I can remember I of course can’t remember my infant baptism so I don’t know what to do part of me wants to be baptist part of me wants to be Catholic i have prayed to God but I’m getting mixed stuff I asked him to show me signs and to help me decide I see both baptist stuff and Catholic stuff out of nowhere one minute I walk past a Baptist church after I prayed in my head and one time I want to search catholic stuff when I prayed one time can you guys help
 
You’re still describing what Confession is for, and regardless of reason, there’s no re-baptism. You really should talk with a priest.

This is a very selfish reason to want re-baptism. I’m not trying to be mean or shaming. Baptism means so much more than a memory. This is how I look at infant baptism, parents are given this incredible gift from God, a child created from the two of them through God’s great love. At baptism the parents give the child back to God, in that they promise to raise the child in the faith and to teach the child to whom he/she really belongs to.

I realize there is more to baptism than just what I wrote above but this is how I explain it to people who insist infant baptism is wrong and that the child/person must choose.

You are Catholic and were baptized Catholic. You were give back to God and you belong to him. You only need knowledge of that, not a memory of the event.
 
God bless you for wanting to come back to the faith. I will pray for you.

Speak to your local priest and he should be able to lead you on the right track.

We as Catholics don´t recieve the Sacrament of Baptism more than once.
Take a look on this site to get some good answers to your question; Penance | USCCB.

The next step for you is to go to Confession, and then talk with your local priest.
If you would like, there are some examples of examinations of conscience on this site as well: http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-wor...entals/penance/examinations-of-conscience.cfm

Welcome back to the Church! May God bless you and guide you through your way back to the Church.

As people said in response to your opening post you cannot be baptised more than once. You need to completely forget any idea of ‘re-baptism’ or a ‘second baptism’. It cannot happen.

Your circumstances cannot be handled on the Internet. You need to talk to a Catholic priest about returning to the Church’s fold.

A lot of what you desire can be dealt with through God’s mercy in the sacrament of Reconciliation.

If you have not been confirmed a priest can arrange this after you have been given some instruction in the Faith. Depending on local circumstances this may require you to join an RCIA class.
 
Another question can i have an angel caller what are there origins facts info etc is it good for me as a Catholic and as a Chrisitian to have
 
Can you clarify what you are asking here? Can you separate each question into a question?
 
Seek the counsel of a priest. You will be told what you need to do.
 
If she was involved in witchcraft, wouldn’t she also need an exorcism and make a General Confession before her confirmation? Since Confirmation is a sacrament of the living I.e. it must be received when one is in the state of sanctifying grace I think that would be necessary (obviously, with the permission of the bishop).
