Re-entry into the Catholic Church
If you have left the Catholic Church, it does not mean that the gates will remain closed to you forever. If you have decided to re-enter it is usually not a problem.
- Have you been baptized a Catholic, quit the Church and now want to re-enter? This is basically possible without any further difficulties.
- Sometimes it is a stroke of fate or the desire for a church wedding that cast doubt on the old decision. A simple email is not enough. There are three steps to re-entry.
Re-entering the church - here's how
- The first thing you need to do is make an appointment to talk to a pastor or pastor. You will be asked about your motives for leaving and why you want to reverse this decision. The clergyman's concern with the interview is to determine if you want to re-enter on a whim or if it is really a serious need.
- If the conversation has gone well, you can apply to the Episcopal Vicariate for resumption. You must attach a few documents to this: your baptism certificate, your identity card, your confirmation of confirmation and the certificate of resignation. Baptism, however, is not repeated because, according to Catholic teaching, it remains valid for a lifetime.
- However, the re-entry will be concluded with a celebration that takes place in the church. The priest and two Christians as witnesses must attend alongside you. By saying your creed you are officially a member of the Catholic Church again.
