During the course of the RCIA program, the individual follows a spiritual journey of “steps” accomplished through defined periods punctuated with formal rites.

1. precatechumenate 2. Rite of Acceptance 3. Rite of Election 4. Period of Purification and Enlightenment 5. sacraments of initiation at the Easter Vigil 6. Postbaptismal Catechesis or Mystagogy

My last RCIA session is this Thursday, and I will miss the group so much! Interestingly, I was just searching for gifts for our group. I’m thinking individual pies in half pint mason jars.

Mystagogy:

mystagogue
1. someone who instructs others before initiation into religious mysteries or before participation in the sacraments.
2. a person whose teachings are said to be founded on mystical revelations.

Example:

Quite deceptive in my opinion.

Are you referring to the Roman Catholic cult? If so, I thoroughly agree with you!

You are promoting a group which is teaching from manmade theories and conditioned on rigorous adherence to their thoughts. The Roman Catholic cult seeks to quell any outside thought, and deems their "traditions" as superior to the Word of God.

Last time I checked, that is the definition of blasphemy... giving credit to Rome and obeisance to its policies and false rites. They only forget that Mary is dead, and the saints have joined her.

Decorating a corpse and deeming them as specially religious is also a form of idolatry!

But, I repeat myself...

my son chose to become a Catholic this Easter and had his first communion and confirmation. I gave him his first rosary.

I”m so proud of him

2. Rite of Acceptance 3. Rite of Election 4.

Two rights which in this case are part of a wrong choice:

No, I was referring to the pictures posted.

Note that this is not a caucus thread, meanwhile there are many different kinds of Catholics. And if i may ask you 2 questions:

1. Why do you think a holy God should let you into Heaven? (What makes you fit or allows Him to accept you?)

2. What is your basis for your assurance that the Roman Catholic church is the one true church?

Thanks.

YOu’ve said/written enough on this one, don’t you think?

Actually, DICK, I was just meditating on the way you follow me from thread to thread... and then trot out an underwhelming string of blah, blah, blah!

I'll straighten you out, though. I'm not interested in your trite attempts at accusatory inferences! I post against error as it offers nothing but distraction from the source of all good things... and from my Savior, Jesus Christ! I post against the need for some people to work their fingertips weary from posting such un- and extra-Scriptural nonsense as the Roman Catholic cult teaches.

YOu’ve said/written enough on this one, don’t you think? Keep your rosary beads in your pocket. I have a direct line to my Father in heaven! I don't need any help from any dead demigoddess, only from His Holy Spirit!

Do not make this thread "about" yourselves, that is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Let's hide the crucifix on that "path to salvation" for fear of offending non-believers.
