catholic convert

Anyone ever converted from agnostic/little or no faith to Catholicism, how did you do it? How did it go? Tell me about it.
The whole point of the question is how you went about it and how it was... not if you didn't....

Scott Hahn is a good example. read his book "Home Sweet Rome".

A non-exhaustive list of people who have come home to the Catholic Church. God bless you.

I'm an Irish catholic considering converting to Church of Ireland. Just wondering how easy it is to do and what it may involve.
I never said that I was considering converting because of church scandals (though they certainly aren't dissuading me). It's been something I've been considering for some time. :) Personally, it just makes more sense to me.

I agree with XAndrewX. Please don't hold bad feelings toward the entire Church because of the sexual abuse scandals or other such issues. They are truly awful, and the Church has a lot to learn and needs to change things so this won't keep happening. The Church overall is good, but the people in it, even the leaders sometimes, are unfortunately not. People are leaving the Anglican (or Episcopal Church here in America) in droves, and the Catholic Church is even allowing Anglican ministers to remain married and become Catholic priests - I think that shows some progress there!

I truly feel at home with the Catholic Church, I believe it's God's Church, full of perfectly imperfect leaders and lay people just like myself. I've been tempted to go to other churches, and since I live in Mormon-dominated Utah, it would be very easy for me to just go to the Mormon Church, which I've tried, and felt empty without the Catholic Church in my life. If you want to convert to Anglicanism, then best of luck to you, but I sincerely hope you will reconsider staying in the Catholic faith, which many consider the one true Church. Maybe there are problems in the Catholic Church due to the fact that Satan is trying to attack it because it is that one true Church. Every church has it's issues though. I'm guessing you live in Ireland, I've never been, but from what I've heard it has a rich Catholic heritage. I would love to live somewhere like that. Anywhere with a lot of Catholic people (or any one group of people, like Utah with the Mormons), is going to have some "bad seeds" that stick out, but I think most people are good. And Anyway, good luck with your decision!

Remember - the Church is great, but is full of imperfect humans trying their best to do God's will, and sometimes screwing up along the way!

I'm interested in hearing some conversion stories.

Here is what G. K. Chesterton said about his conversion to Catholic Christianity: http://chesterton.org/gkc/theologian/why catholic.htm

With love in Christ.

I know many of you who click on this may either be Catholic or some other religion, but I would like to know what happens once I'm no longer Catholic. For example, I convert into another christian religion like a United Methodist. Would I still have the same godparents even though I'm of a different religion?

If you're old enough to convert to another religion, you're too old for "god parents." "God parents" are for children who are too young to make their own decisions. In the event that their parents die, "god parents" are responsible for maintaining a child's indoctrination in the religion of its parents.
