The Catholic Church?
Anyone who goes to a Catholic church? I've never been because I am Baptist, but I have not you gone to church in a loooong time. But I'd like guidence-there is a time of day when the Catholic priest allowed to discuss their problems with him? and ask his advice?
- Question by a Lapsed Catholic One?
- Catholic Priest has dismissed Church Organist and Choir Director Sex-??!!? sales office toys
- My question relates to the belief in God, Jesus and the Popes of the Catholic Church is the true Church
- Catholic priests are allowed to tell you what to do?
- Why Catholics focus their prayers around Mary? And the Vatican?
Just call. The priests are very busy, but if they are otherwise occupied they will be happy to help. But I still suggest calling.
I will give you advice. If you go to the Baptist Roman Catholic Church. The Yellow Pages show clearly Catholic. The Baptists and Anabaptists evolved from the Roman Church. I am a Catholic Byzantine rite. The service leaves the Church of Antioch and is a shortened version of the service provided by James. It will be very foreign to a Baptist. Also, if you live in a big city you can also see Coptic, Maronite, Chaldean, Malabar, Malankara or other parts of the Catholic Church. They are communities of apostolic origin and still use the services of old. The Maronites still use a dialect of Jesus would have been able to speak.
I'm just saying I do not come under cultural shock. The Catholic Church is not monolithic, uniform organization with highly prescribed beliefs. Very few beliefs rise to that level. It is not a very complicated Church. It is often complex but not complicated. It is complex because the real world has become complex, but the beliefs are simple.
Feel welcome and not scared. Lift the phone and dial.
I agree with OPM that you should check out a Roman Catholic Church. I also wanted to emphasize that all the other churches mentioned in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church and accept the authority of the Pope.
We also encourage church can call and ask for a priest. It should have no problem organizing a time for you to meet him. You can also display only during the designated time for confessions. Simply tell the priests who are not Catholic, and I just want to talk (of course there may be other people waiting, so it may have limited time to speak with him).
You can also search the RCIA program (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). Most churches allowed to attend classes without any commitment to convert to Catholicism. You may think it is "exploring" Catholicism and learn more about it. Most people have a lot of misconceptions about Catholicism, and rich would be a good place where you can ask many questions. I've been Catholic all my life, and after the sponsors through two converts RICA, I found that it was a very good experience for all participants (including myself).
Good luck! I'll be praying for you.
