SOmetimes conversion starts with hunger. There's nothing wrong with that.

Yes there is. Making use of the Catholic faith for personal advantage rather than to offer Adoration, Reparation, Thanksgiving and Supplication to God is a perversion of religion's intrinsic nature. Please note that Jesus spent most of His time criticizing this precise error, more than any other.

not all RCIA programs are bad.

That's like saying "Not all bottles of a certain type contain poison." But if you know that a a great majority do, then it would be dangerously imprudent to try drinking from one.

If I was interested in *personal advantage* I would get a big tent and start my own *revival* business, growing it till I was in a time slot next to another *preacher* in a 1,000 dollar suit.

I'm more interested in doing whatever God requires of me that will allow me to see and understand Him. If you have any questions about my beliefs, just ask. I'll be happy to answer.
