Galatians 1:9

⁹ As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

Please read this article carefully as it explains on how to initiate the Christian Initiation process mentioned on one of the Catholic websites. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which adults discern if the Catholic tradition of the Christian life is appropriate for them. Through discussions, prayers, and reflection, we accompany the person on this journey of faith, allowing each person to develop a relationship with God.

This process fosters the spiritual needs of the following persons:

• Those adults never baptized, who seek to become Catholic,
• Those adults baptized in another Christian church, who seeks to be Catholic.
• Those adults already baptized as Catholic, but who have not celebrated the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

When a person considers becoming a Catholic, we welcome him or her to begin the process from the moment of Inquiry. For us, RCIA is not a program, based on the school calendar.  Rather, it is a process, allowing an Inquirer to begin discernment at any time.  This perspective also allows each person, along with the team, to determine the length of the process.  Each person has a unique relationship with God, and our team’s objective is to accompany each person on that journey.

Eventually, inquirers will join a cohort of others in discernment. Christianity is a communal faith tradition, recognizing the wisdom of the group.  At certain points, the team offers persons the invitation to advance through certain stages of the process:

• Inquiry/Precatechumenate is the initial stage, whereby adults ask questions, share concerns, enhance a prayer life, and determine if Catholicism fulfills their spiritual desires.
• Inquirers determine if they wish to move forward in the journey. If so, they participate in the Rite of Acceptance for unbaptized inquirers, who thereafter are referred to as catechumens. There is also a Rite of Welcome for baptized Christians, who thereafter are known as candidates.
• In both cases, each catechumen and candidate chooses or is given a spiritual companion, known as a
• Catechumenate is the next stage whereby there is a more profound study of Catholicism.
  • With the consent of the team and sponsors, candidates may make a profession of faith to the Catholic Church, at any time in the catechumenate.
  • The RCIA process focuses on the catechumens, provides a series of rites and rituals for a unique initiation into the Catholic Faith, and begins in the Season of Lent.
    • Rite of Sending. The local congregation sends the catechumens to the cathedral and presented them to the bishop.  Holy Name has a creative way of celebrating this rite, considering that it is the cathedral.  Also, candidates can also participate
    • Rite of Election. The catechumens and candidates, along with those from other archdiocesan parishes, present themselves to the archbishop.  From this point, the catechumens receive the title of Elect, for God has elected them.
    • The Elect and candidates, who choose to experience this ritual, participate in three weeks of intense prayer and reflection, purging obstacles that may inhibit their desire to be full members of the Church.
    • Easter Vigil/Celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. After weeks of preparation, the Elect is baptized at the Easter Vigil.  Candidates, who choose to participate, will join them in the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
    • This post-initiation stage allows the new Catholics to unpack the experience, address questions that may arise only at this point of becoming Catholic, and discover ways of solidifying the foundations for a Catholic lifestyle.

These people have taken the gospel of Christ to another level and made it into their own gospel. Note that not a single time the name of Christ pops up. They have introduced a bunch fleshly ideas that were not written in the Bible and created a ritual called the Mass. The Catholics believe in a false gospel. This is not the gospel of Christ. One does not need to go through the Christian Initiation process. Becoming Christian means inheriting Christ like qualities. This can happen only when one repents of their sins and accepts Christ as the only savior. By receiving the free gift of salvation from God, we are set free. No one inherits salvation nor salvation is achieved by merit. Only Christ died for our sins. Not Mary or other dead people. What these people have done and are still doing is an abomination. This has nothing to do with spirituality but it has everything to do with the fleshly desires. The Bible is clear that if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

There’s only one gospel of Christ. Every person needs only Christ to be saved from their sins PERIOD. No amount of self crossing will be able to save any person from going to hell. Sorry for being harsh. But for ages, Pope and his associates have been misleading and lying to innocent people.

May our Lord God Almighty open the eyes of these souls.

In Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Maranatha!
