that is very Good. I am also convert in 1993. my wife is born and baptized Catholic as infant, but stop going to church in her 20's ( 1980's )
when I was taking RICA class. our teacher was theology professor from Notre Dame University, his catechism was much more traditional compare to today's Catechism taught by liberal lay person. and the Priest had knowledge , while lay person does not have as much knowledge as priest and often Lay person teach wrong which are actual against Catholic teaching. my RCIA priest always explained difference before and after Vatican 2.
it seems like , today's RCIA is more of social club, they like to discuss what we think and feel about it. problem that we are attending such liberal class is that our opinion of Catholic teaching are very different and often exactly opposite from what lay teacher is teaching , so we becoming sort of outcast. and my wife says our teacher is getting irritated from us. I think our lay teacher was not expected people like us show up in his class. my wife did not know much about Catholicism at until 2011, but between class offered at OLHC in Garden Grove, and Michael Voris , she learned a lot in relatively short time of 3 years. now she read book like Anne Katherine Emmerich, St Augustine, so on. light bulb turned on several years ago for her. because, before that time she never care much about religion or Church.
now, she is concern about her eternal soul.
we never had opportunity to attend Latin Mass until 2011.
Internet is great things, I can learn so much from Internet. I can read Papal encyclicals, Canon Laws 1983, 1917 or even older. we learn a lot from Michael Voris video, we signed up for $10 a month membership , and have been watching for 3 years now.
unfortunately, we don't have SSPX or FSSP in within 1 hour drive. we have OLHC near , and rest of Latin Mass are all Diocese.
most other parts of US 60 miles is a short trip, but here in Southern CA, 60 miles can take more than 2 hours because of traffic congestion, and it is unpredictable.
thanks for reply.
Hello AgnesRoma
I just went through what you are going through a couple of years ago. I did the 'RCIA' in a novus ordo diocese but converted promptly to Tradition and now attend a SSPX chapel. I would recommend you follow the advice received here and find a good traditional chapel either SSPX, CMRI, or FSSP whichever offers orthodox teaching and the true sacraments.
I was already reading about tradition and the Tridentine Mass while I was converting, but I thought "oh well, I am almost done this RCIA thing, I'll just sort it out after" My honest opinion is to RUN, not walk to the nearest traditional chapel! It will be much better for you and your wife in the long run! GET the Traditional and orthodox teaching and traditional rite of confirmation! You will be happy you did!
