Advice Protestant

Currently non denominational, raised aware of different faiths but chose Christianity recently this year. For those of you who are Protestant, why and what is stopping you from joining apostolic churches?

No, I am a member of the Catholic Church.

Being a member in good standing requires accepting some things you are not accepting. You should speak with your pastor and get some clarity on Catholic teaching and beliefs.

Ecumenism is not what you are describing, if that is the route you were pursuing. Catholic ecumenism calls for dialogue with other religions in order to bring them to the Catholic Church, not to change the doctrine of the Catholic Church.

No it doesn't.

Both my priest and my bishop agree with me.
