Hello. I'm thinking about joining Orthodoxy more and more but the problem is I'm an apostate in the Roman Catholic Church. I wonder what steps I should take in this situation.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

1. Go to Orthodox church
2. Talk to priest about desire to convert
3. ???
4.Profit become Orthodox
The priest will fill in the ???, which is probably going to be something like, "Attend here for a few months an undergo catechism, then receive you into the Church if you still want to go through with it".

What gzt said. You're going to become a catechumen regardless of what happened in the past (which is a good thing). It's a journey and not simply a sudden change.

it’s not our business how Rome handles her own. so do what gzt said. find your closest Orthodox parish and talk to the priest about your situation.

Your profile says you are from Poland. There is an Orthodox Church of Poland with hundreds of thousands of people. It is obviously in the minority but clearly of some stature. There is a website for the Orthodox Church in Poland
