RICA: Preguntas, respuestas, temas y consejos

Esta página sobre la iniciación cristiana se ofrece en cada edición de The Sower como herramienta continua para enfrentar preguntas concretas que quizás no reciban respuesta en los artículos o demás recursos de capacitación más generales. Todas las preguntas provienen directamente del campo, y tienen dos fuentes: 1) de lectores como tú, y 2) de asuntos que se suscitan durante los seminarios dirigidos por la Association for Catechumenal Ministry (ACM) [Asociación para el Ministerio Catecumenal] a lo largo de los últimos ocho años en varios diócesis.

P: Un buscador del programa de RICA ha llegado recientemente a nuestra parroquia y pide que la Iglesia se ocupe de la situación de un matrimonio anterior con un hombre judío. Él nunca fue bautizado ni ella tampoco. ¿Qué diferencia hay entre esta situación y un matrimonio entre dos personas bautizadas? ¿Sería relevante en este caso un privilegio paulino o petrino?

P: Me está costando encontrar material catequético realmente sólido para adultos en la lengua española. ¿Qué hay para una persona que está desarrollando un proceso de RICA para una comunidad hispana?
