Some of you lead RCIA classes, I am sure.
Any thoughts here?

RCIA and Holy Saturday
I’d love to lead an RCIA class, but don’t feel qualified at the moment. I’m in awe every time I see this, though. I don’t spend much time doing the “shoulda, coulda, woulda” dance. But I think it would have been great to have perhaps skipped some of my time as a rock-n-roller to have trained for RCIA/CCD. I truly love it when people join the Church.
I think a LOT more emphasis needs to be placed on the sponsors.
Are they ready to prayerfully and fully care for this candidate...so that he/she continues in the growth of the Faith?
Do all sponsors absolutely accept as truth ALL the teachings of the Church? (this should go without saying...but....)
The dismissal of candidates for reception into full communion is inappropriate. The dismissal of catechumens is barely justifiable, especially in cases where the catechuman has been attending mass for a time (in the case of the person for whom I am sponsor, 18 years).
