This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Only 32% of Catholic priests say that it's important to try and convince others to accept their religion. Evangelical pastors are at 82%. (lemmy.world)

Sponsor? You just need a priest willing to give you sacraments, starting with baptism.

Yeah. If you go through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA), you get baptized, given communion, and get confirmed all at the same time on Easter. Having a sponsor is part of the sacrament of confirmation.

At least that’s the way my church growing up did it. I’m sure there are exceptions for extenuating circumstances and differences across countries.

That how it was and still is. Grew up Catholic. Have a best friend who sponsored his significant other to convert. This was the exact process.
