Question...
If the prospective convert dies prior to completing the full regimen...are they considered hellbound, sent to purgatory, or granted salvation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.247.100.121 (talk) 09:08, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Worldwide view
The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.
I have difficulty in understanding how this is the case; please expand. What is a worldwide view? Who decides the definition?
The article refers specifically to converting to Catholicism. It is totally uncontroversial and simply outlines with objective explainations the framework / process of the RCIA which is used globally throughout the Catholic world. You cannot get more worldwide than this!! (Monchelsea 12:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC))
- Hi, the part after the introduction states that it is about the American rite, so I am concerned that is isnt also applicable to other nations. For example, how much of that is pertinent to Catholics in Australia? John Vandenberg 18:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
John, within the Catholic Church each Bishops Conference (US, England and Wales, Australia, etc) authorises Rites to be used within their Jurisdiction. These Rites have to be approved by Rome and they are based upon the official Roman Rite, which is in Latin. These regional Rites use the same framework as the Roman Rite. In relation to the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults the Wiki article has been based upon the US approved Rite as: 1. It is in English; 2. It is one of the most developed as it specifically caters for Candidates as well as Cathchumens during thier formation. However, the basic framework - Periods and Steps - is the same, and would be recognised throughout the World. I hope this helps. Monchelsea 16:35, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
- In that case, my suggestion is to ignore the "worldwide view" tag and keep expanding the topic based on the American Rite. Catholics from other nations will eventually come along and expand on the finer details for each conference. John Vandenberg 05:32, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
