Now my friend wants to get baptised in the Roman Catholic Church.
However, she doesn't want to go through RCIA.
I told her that maybe she can get an express baptism. However, I don't know.
I can agree that it can seem onerous to submit to some of the egos of the teachers of RCIA.
Also, the manner by which the RCIA candidates get paraded through Church at Mass causes some trepidation.
If my friend donates to the Church, could she perhaps get private counseling from a priest?

Re: Conditional Committment to Catholicism?
Thu, January 11, 2007 - 3:28 AMI'd talk to the Priest first. Why is your friend shying away from the idea? Is it the time factor? I know for me I was SO ready to move things along because I knew for positive 100% that I wanted to be Catholic.. but I'm SO happy I went through the nine months of teaching.. it was really rewarding on so many levels and I think prompted my involvement level then and now in the Church. -

Re: Conditional Committment to Catholicism?
Thu, January 11, 2007 - 7:48 AMMy husband is going to be doing something on the 25th, a commitment type thing and he had a
choice of doing it with just the RCIA group and the Priest or at Mass. It makes him Catholic but he
still can not take communion until he is comfirmed.
Both of us have been baptized in a Protestant Church and because of that Hubby doesn't have
to be baptized again in the Catholic Church.
I think it is important to get the teaching as well, the Catholic Church is far more complicated than
I thought I would want to know as much as possible before I commited myself.
