One of our candidates also is staying in church rather than going for the dismissal. She has been through the RCIA process once and got a dispensation from the priest to do it again.

Her husband, however, who is coming into the Catholic Church is leaving for the dismissal.

I suppose my own background makes me less than objective about it, but I don't think catechised, baptized adults should go through the same preparation process that un-catechised, un-baptized adults go through.

I think it de-legitimizes what is purported to be their legitimate entry into the Church at baptism. I'd like to see the Church follow what the RCIA program actually says about those baptized in another "ecclesiastical community" and not make them do any more than is necessary in order to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church.
