[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is catholic.  I was raised Christian and my family went to a non-denominational church for holidays, but no regular attendance.  I'd like to become Catholic.  I already go to mass with DH a couple of times a month.  I tried RCIA at DH's parish, but it was a 1x per week class from fall to Easter.  With my work travel schedule, I missed a lot of the classes and dropped out.  I thought about trying again, but now I'm pregnant and so tired I don't think I could work all day and then go to the evening RCIA class.  Most of them were extremely boring and only a half hour of the 1.5 hour class was informative.  Are all RCIA's like this?  I'd really like to do a condensed class that's on weekends if there's one in the DC area.  [/quote]

I am Catholic, and while I think that it is wonderful that you want to join the Church and I know that you have time constraints, I find it concerning that you find the classes to be "boring" and that you seem to be looking for a shortcut.  Well, with RCIA, you are already getting the condensed version. It takes most people years of CCD and confirmation classes to become full Catholics, eight or nine to be exact. It is a beautiful and very complex religion and there is a vast amount of information that must be learned to fully understand it and to fully appreciate the sacraments of the Church. [/quote]
