Hi, Ron —
I believe the Pauline privilege has
nothing to do with RCIA. RCIA is
an important part of faith formation
for someone entering the Church,
especially if one is not baptized.
Becoming a Christian and a Catholic
is huge step. By entering the Church,
you agree to submit to Her teachings
and disciplines. You also must profess
that you believe that what the Church
teaches, is revealed by God. That
said, it's important that you know
enough about what the Church teaches
to make that sort of commitment.
A good RCIA program should explain
the major doctrines and also help
you in your spiritual walk.
I recommend you follow through with
RCIA whether, or not, it's required
and, in fact, I'm pretty sure, in
your case, it still is.
John
