I thought I should say that the story about the woman and the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) has a happy ending.
She's coming to Mass again and is full of questions.
But seeing the subject's come up (see above), why is it called that? You'd think that the 'C' would stand for Catholic, as in Rite of Catholic Initiation for Adults. I had to google RCIA to make sure it's not. But is it about initiating adults into any old Christian church, or specifically into the Catholic Church?
I'm pretty sure it's the latter. So why not call a spade a spade? Are there fears that the term 'Catholic' might be seen as discriminatory and/or exclusive?
If so, it's a manifestation of the Church of Nice.
