Any comments? I think there are some valid points.

Who reads them? No one except the postmenopausals that actually run our parishes. And they do so with the same glee that they sing the Jesus Christ Superstar "hymns" at Mass. Ugh!

Yes he has many valid points.

In the larger picture however, the whole concept of using "dumbed-down" tracts to teach the Faith in RCIA (where the "A" is for "Adults"), is the problem. The Faith should clearly be taught from a serious catechism designed for Adults, if not the CCC.

It is ultimately the responsibility of the bishops in each of their respective dioceses to implement a strong catechetical formation process for RCIA. Allowing this "tract" method allows dissidents power to distort the Faith before those who are inquiring, just as this article discusses.
