Dear MOQers:
You may recall that Anthony asked Kevin if his RCIA education put an
emphasis on mysticism.
Kevin replied:
Yes, absolutely. RCIA involves prayer, sacraments (e.g., Eucharist,
Pennance, Confirmation and, for those not baptized, Baptism), the Rosary and
theological reflection.
dmb says:
I don't understand how any of these things are related to mysticism. Perhaps
the word is used to describe such ritulas within the church, but I'm pretty
sure Anthony is asking you a philosophical question here. Further, I think
its safe to assume that he asking about mysticism as its described in
Pirsig's books and as it works within the MOQ. Was anything like mysticism
IN THAT SENSE OF THE WORD emphsized or even taught in your RICA education?
As I understand it, mysticism has very little to do with the ritual
activities you've listed. In what sense is Baptism and prayer mystical? What
is your definition of mystical in these assertions?
Please explain.
dmb
