[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the input.  Maybe it's just not meant to be for me.  I find the content fascinating, but the instructors very boring. I would look around the table and see many of my RCIA classmates fighting sleep.  I grew up in a bad neighborhood with awful public schools.  The closest good school was Catholic so I went to Catholic school for years, including religion classes taught by the nuns there, and I've been going to mass with DH for years.  I feel like the classes are geared towards new Christians and people new to Catholicism, but I'm neither.  I also find many of you condescending.  Good for you that you spent 8 or 9 years in CCD classes, but I also think that's overkill and not necessary and frankly, that's not what I asked. [/quote]

Actually, that is what you asked.  You asked whether there was a "condensed class," and the answer was that you were already in it because RCIA takes less than a year, and most Catholics spend several years of education getting to that point.  I am so sorry that you mistook fact for condescension.  I tend to agree with you that the Catholic faith is probably not for you given that you characterize the entire Catholic educational process as "overkill." It takes time and effort to learn about an over 2000 year old Church and to understand and appreciate its many sacraments, prayers, and tenets.  You can try to take the classes at another church, but if you don't have the time and are not willing to make the effort, then it probably will not make much of a difference.
