Do you think it would be okay for me to switch from Christianity to Catholicism for my girlfriend or wife?

Say she's Catholic and I'm Christian, but then I chose to join her church.

But Catholics are a part of Christian churches...

@Melpomene The churches like to act different than each other regardless.

@Billybob2 How different? Is it like...a special church?
Billybob2 · 26-30, M
@Melpomene Just certain rules. Like eat fish on Fridays during Lent, you have to get baptized again even if you've been previously baptized at a Christian or other church.

@Billybob2 So...it's a sect
Billybob2 · 26-30, M
@Melpomene Pretty much, yeah.
Melpomene · 22-25, F
@Billybob2 Haha, know your church.
If your whole family is in that sect, won't they have to exclude you or something?

@Melpomene They're in Christian churches, except for my Uncle who is in a Baptist church and that's fine with everyone.

@Billybob2 Then what's your question about?
Billybob2 · 26-30, M
@Melpomene Would it be okay to join a different church?

@Billybob2 Religion is a personal choice. If you feel like that's closer to what you believe, where you belong and/or you just want to get married in the same "community", then why not?
