I don’t understand how someone can be non religious and then “get into” religion. What on earth could it be providing you that you want?

Religion is always in politics so long as the moral foundation of an official is based in a religion or more generally a moral standard to view the world in

Well I’m a Non-domination Christian but I’ve wanted to get converted to Catholicism. I mean it would just be nice to be in a church and a community, be able to pray and have a time of the week that’s dedicated to peace with God and myself.

I won’t disagree with you, I just meant more so when people use religious morals. (Complaining as a catholic you suffer from discrimination because you pray the rosary but “illegal immigrants” are coming into the country, the catholic in this scenario should be sympathetic to the immigrants not against them because their oppression is different.)

Doesn’t seem accurate at all. In turbulent times people look for anchors, so it is no surprise that they find one in the church. Those don’t give you power, but assurance.

Coming from that community, having seen hundreds, not one “gen z guy” has ever converted for power. Which is not to say that there exists a guy who does do it for power, but to say that is the only reason can be proven differently by my existence and many others, as an “only” is just a contrapositive “every”, and an “every” is negated by any “there exists”

Don’t be afraid to try different parishes in your area! Technically speaking, your parish is the nearest church to you, but you don’t need to abide by that. My city has a stronger Catholic identity than most because of immigrants and 1840s local revolts against the Catholics. I can tell you from experience that you can closeness of community varies, but the sense of community is always there!

Of course, you’re more than welcome to observe and attend mass, just make sure that you don’t participate in sacraments like communion unless you’ve made the change and have received your first communion, it could be seen as disrespectful.

Yeah I watched a video about etiquette in a Catholic Church. I would have to receive confirmation first if I remember correctly. Still unsure of how that works but I’m looking into it.

No need for Confirmation (in the context of partaking in Eucharist), just first Communion! You should be able to speak with a priest after Mass about how to convert, but definitely look around until you find a parish you like so you also have time to decide if Catholicism is right for you
