Candidates will be accepted into full communion in the Catholic Church also at the Easter Vigil.
Becoming Catholic Ping!
It’s a stubborn conundrum, follow that which is lead by a misguided leader such as the pope, of try to entangle the leadership which does not exist.

The leader of the Catholic Church was, is and always will be Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
I would add to this, the RCIA class I attended to join the church was also open to Catholics who wanted to refresh their memories or delve more deeply into the stuff they’d learned by rote as children, but perhaps hadn’t fully understood.
We were encouraged to come back every year if we wanted to! Each class was a different group with new questions, always new things to consider!
All of that and not a word about salvation through Christ.
All of that and just a single verse from Scripture - and that used apart from its actual meaning.
>The leader of the Catholic Church was, is and always will be Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
That’s good to know. When someone like the pope speaks for God, it’s best he does not mess it up like he is doing.
I love the Catholic Church. I do not follow the Pope, I follow my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, same as when I was a Protestant for 20 years.
>I love the Catholic Church.
I love God. No church needed here.
I got out of the Church of Rome 35 years ago and am so grateful that the Holy Spirit dropped the “scales from my eyes” so that I could see that it is Satan’s greatest work of deception.
Now, now!! My mom once told me as a youngster: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything. It wasn’t an hour later she said to me, “You’ve had enough cookies!”
I didn’t think that that was a nice thing to say. But, I kept my mouth closed.
Yeah, but photo is accurate. You can see a statue of Mary to kneel and pray to on the way inside,....and probably another one or two inside. You need to get your priorities straight FRiend.
Perhaps the RCIA could offer a simplified and shortened approach. Many seek basic simplicity in their search for Christ and are overwhelmed by formality. The Church should not turn away those wishing to be baptised. Please make the Church accessible.
I went through RCIA many years ago at a Jesuit church no less. I didn’t think much of the first, touchy feely “inquiring” phase, but it got better once we got to actual catechetical teaching of Church doctrine.
The question being answered was about RCIA as a path or process. The WHOLE THING, in every part, from beginning to end, is about salvation through Christ.
As a member of my parish RCIA teaching team -— I just taught a lesson tonight, my topic bring the History of the Church -— I can assure you that Christ is the source, center and summit of every lesson.
The Pope needs our prayers, that he be either converted or deposed.
I taught a lesson on “Twenty centuries of Church History” just tonight, and I don’t think there was ever a stranger or more disturbing situation than the one we’re in right now, with the chief opponent of the Papal Magisterium (teaching authority) being the Pope himself.
Then it’s not Jesus Christ you’re worshipping, because Jesus Christ founded the Church and, as St Paul taught, cannot be separated from it.
