Becoming Catholic?
Interested in Catholicism?
"Be my soul with the Saints!"
-John Henry Cardinal Newman
God loves all humanity. Therefore, God calls all people into his Church. Christ founded his Church on Peter and the other apostles, so that, as Paul said, the “manifold wisdom of God” might be known to the entire world (Ephesians 3:10). This wisdom of God is that in Jesus Christ all humanity is brought to peace in him. This communion of peace in Christ is known as the body of Christ and also as the bride of Christ. It is also known as the Catholic Church. It is through the Church that God loves and saves the world.
So, entering the Catholic Church is serious business. Joining the Church is not simply one religious choice made among others. Joining the Catholic Church is a life-changing decision made in response to God’s truth, beauty, and invitation. Christ himself established the Catholic Church and gave it to us for our salvation. Becoming Catholic is not something one can take lightly.
