"I have been scouring the Internet for RCIA lesson plans and course outlines, but haven't found anything all that stellar."

If you find something, let me know. I just completed RCIA (confirmed this Easter), and the RCIA process I went through was HORRIBLE. No real concrete teaching other than some cursory study of Scripture (mostly duplicating the parallel "Break Open the Word" on Sundays). Lots of touchy-feely/listen to music/"FEEELLLLL the Good vibes" stuff. Virtually no mention of the Catechism.

If mine was any example, it's a wonder that the Church makes any converts at all.

Welcome home!

The timeless classic is still the Baltimore Catechism.

Our RCIA was ghastly, too. So too-liberal, just awful. And of course so prideful. I'd use the Catechism and new Compendium of the Catholic Church if you want solid theology.

Dear Wonder:

I teach RCIA, but not in the way you describe. You might want to pick up a copy of the US Catholic Catechism for Adults. If you have any questions I can help with, I would be happy to.
