Thanks for the reference. I'll get a copy and give it a read.
"Excellent primer on the Catechism of the Church. Has a chapter of 5 or so pages that covers roughly 50-100 paragraphs of the Catechism. It WAS my syllabus, for the most part! I highly recommend it to those who are not inclined to read the 800 page Catechism (I offer that book to the class as a reference, since I doubt many will read it cover to cover. But the "Guide", they DO read!)"
Heh! I was an oddball---I actually read the entire "800 page catechism". But in our RCIA class, the catechism wasn't touched on at all, that I could tell.
"Welcome home! Brother in Christ"
Thanks. It's good to be here in the "fullness of faith" at last.
GACK!!! What the heck! I'll be praying for you and those who have to battle to get into the Church DESPITE such supposed types of formation! What a travesty...
EVERY RCIA instructor should have a plaque with the following verse on it...Study it before every class they give:
"And whosoever shall be a stumbling block to one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it would be better for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea." Mark 9:42
God bless people like you.
Brother in Christ
