HG Rezas' article Embracing Islam, Praying for Acceptance describes the transition many Catholic Latinos experienced when they decided to become Muslims. Kathy Espinoza mentioned that her transition from Catholicism to Islam was not difficult since both religions shared similar doctrines (Reza 2). The doctrinal dimension of a religion is made up of its fundamental values ​​and beliefs. In monotheistic religions such as Islam and Catholicism, their doctrines are based on the belief that God is the creator of the universe and the one on whom all humans depend. Both religions believe in Jesus as a prophet and also accept the importance of the virgin Mary. The difference between their doctrines is that Catholics believe in the Holy Trinity. Islam, on the other hand, rejects the idea that God incarnated as a human. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, the faith of Catholicism is based on the Holy Trinity.

However, many misconceptions about Islam cause Catholics to fear Islamic traditions without regard for the similarity between their doctrines. In the case of Latin American Muslims, it was more difficult to talk to their families about their conversion to Islam than about the transition between the two religions.
