I can’t put my finger on it, but he whole RCIA process has become so ... feminized. I feel somewhat sorry for the guys going through it to get married.
Wow, not in my parish! Hard core doctrine, a minimum of touchy-feely. Solid teachers, with the possible exception of moi.
It really depends on the parish. I had that same experience with my local parish at the time, I ended up going to a different one ran by the current bishop (who wasn’t the bishop at the time).
It was night and day. I never would have come into the church had I not switched. If you aren’t happy with the process you need to start getting involved with the folks who do RCIA. It’s absolutely essential in getting *real* converts.
Of course, one of the things I found absolutely exasperating is the kind and genial boomer who literally said to me before his conversion that he was attracted by the spirit of Vatican II and wanted to change the Church in order to reflect his boomer sacraments of divorce, contraception, abortion, married priests and homosexuality.
This is why it’s so important to have solid RCIA so that these folks are so put off by the process that they rabble rouse elsewhere.
