I'm learning... mostly that there is so much to learn! I've also learned that for people who want to be Catholic there is no consistent program. Sure parishes have RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) but it's different depending on who is doing the teaching. I guess as an educator (I teach Middle School during the day) I would think at minimum the Archdiocese would have a consistent set of standards or curriculum that should be taught to everyone. But that doesn't seem to be so. I'm not saying it all should be done the same way. But rather, that all parishes would work with the same materials. So far I've seen two different books and in one parish they simply used Catholic Update newsletters.
Sooo.... I guess I'm on a mission to see what can be done about that. I want to ask several different people (priests, nuns, deacons and all sorts of laity what the 10 things they believe should be taught to someone entering our beautiful faith. Now I just need to figure out which people to ask!
Believe,
Bobbi
