Three Paths to Becoming a Catholic:
There are generally three paths to becoming a Catholic under Pope Michael’s authority:
- Never baptised. Such persons should study catechism, for example the Catechism Of The Council Of Trent (which can be found in online archives) and then receive a valid baptism. Please contact us to find a way for your individual situation.
- Baptised but aren’t sure if the correct form was used. Some protestant groups and the Vatican 2 church use forms of baptism which would render the baptism doubtfully valid. Under this situation, the same prescription as above applies, but a “conditional baptism” would be received.
- Validly baptized. These would make a Perfect Act of Contrition, a Profession of Faith (see link below), and it might be recommended that the catechism also be reviewed, depending on one’s knowledge of the Catholic faith. If a priest becomes available, such could make a general confession of sins.
Additionally, all who join may want to acquaint themselves with the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) so they understand why we claim to be the Catholic Church and why there are various groups in disagreement as to where the Catholic Church is today and who is in it.
The Profession of Faith can be sent to the Secretary of His Holiness electronically, office @ vie-official.org electronically.
The Profession of Faith should be accompanied by a copy of your Baptismal Certificate, Confirmation Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Ordination Certificates, etc. if any of these are available.
Please also submit a curriculum vitae of your path to the Catholic Church under pope Michael to the Secretary of His Holiness, office @ vie-official.org. The Pope’s staff will then contact you and we can proceed from there to establish that you are in full communion with the Catholic Church.
We fully realize that many have been deceived, as the Gospels tell us that in these times “even the elect will be deceived.” We welcome all to join or return to the Catholic Church.
May the Lord bless all of us and lead us all to full acceptance of the Divine Will.
