I see RCIA left out the section on what communion means too.

Another ad hominem.

Full communion is not merely a relationship between bishops, otherwise, Protestants (not having bishops) could never be brought into full communion with the Catholic Church. But Protestants can be brought into full communion with the Catholic Church. I myself (once a Protestant) was brought into full communion with the Catholic Church when I was received into the Catholic Church. Not only am I now in full communion with my bishop, but through my union with him I am now also in full communion with all other Catholics.

Again, I can't recommend the Catechism highly enough.

Is that the new Romish notion of what communion is? Good heavens, will innovations never cease? What a Protestant notion!
