Can the rite for accepting converts in the 1964 roman ritual be used for accepting converts into the church. Furthermore, can the pastor of a regular roman rite parish, that doesn’t celebrate the TLM, use this form.
 
What Clare said.

I have, however, seen people come home to the Catholic Church in the old rite via the ICRSS. If one wished to enter with this rite, one could chose that path provided there is an ICRSS parish at a reasonable distance. “Reasonable” in this case will mean “not so far away that the person could not or is not willing to travel to it.”

I can’t speak for other traditional societies (FSSP, for example), but I can’t imagine they don’t have conversion paths for those wishing to enter the Church.

Note that the old rituals are not better than the current ones, or vice versa.

I mean can a person coming into full communion request to be received in that right. I want to know if it is an approved form that may be used today. Perhaps under Summorum Pontificum
 
I think a priest would want to know WHY you think one s superior to what they already have in place and why they should make an exception for you.

Honestly, new er does not mean TERRIBLE, despite what some would have you think.
The Rites we have today work just fine. Ask any of the tens of thousands that converted this year.
 
I don’t think that rite is really used much anymore, although it could be. Some parishes do choose to accept baptized converts outside of Easter, reserving the Vigil for those who have never been baptized. Many parishes in my area do so.
 
Wouldn’t the rite simply be baptism followed by confirmation followed by their first Eucharist? Only catechumen are “converts”…those already having previously received a valid baptism are “candidates” to come into full communion with the Catholic Church, not “converts”.

Not baptism - profession of faith.

And it’s okay to call me a convert. 🙂
