Dad wants me to join the Catholic Church, since he had some catholic relatives, and I will go to college in Vienna. He wants to join in too. He didn't force me, I accepted his offer. I was an atheist at that time and I'm also now (I'm still in the closet), but I accepted just to make him happy.
A priest told us that since we've already been baptised as orthodoxes, we don't need to be baptized again. We will still go through a ceremony in which I'll need to answer some questions from the cathechism. It's full of: "Suck God's dick, even though you're not worthy of sucking his holy, perfect, all-knowing and omniprezent penis.".
Yeah, it's already going to be revised; just remember that the "Catechism" that you read is the 2nd edition:

And, Francis is already well at work changing the "unchangeable" teachings of the "true" Church:
1650 Today there are numerous Catholics in many countries who have recourse to civil divorce and contract new civil unions. In fidelity to the words of Jesus Christ - "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery" the Church maintains that a new union cannot be recognized as valid, if the first marriage was. If the divorced are remarried civilly, they find themselves in a situation that objectively contravenes God's law. Consequently, they cannot receive Eucharistic communion as long as this situation persists. For the same reason, they cannot exercise certain ecclesial responsibilities. Reconciliation through the sacrament of Penance can be granted only to those who have repented for having violated the sign of the covenant and of fidelity to Christ, and who are committed to living in complete continence.
2390 In a so-called free union, a man and a woman refuse to give juridical and public form to a liaison involving sexual intimacy.
The expression "free union" is fallacious: what can "union" mean when the partners make no commitment to one another, each exhibiting a lack of trust in the other, in himself, or in the future?
The expression covers a number of different situations: concubinage, rejection of marriage as such, or inability to make long-term commitments.183 All these situations offend against the dignity of marriage; they destroy the very idea of the family; they weaken the sense of fidelity. They are contrary to the moral law. The sexual act must take place exclusively within marriage. Outside of marriage it always constitutes a grave sin and excludes one from sacramental communion.
