Who can teach RCIA?

From a reader:

"I have a question about who can teach RCIA. Is it assumed that a teacher in the program is a practicing Catholic in communion with the Church? When would a divorced person who is not in communion with the Church, and is not receiving Communion themselves be qualified to teach? I see this as very counterproductive."

Obviously, I am in agreement here. A divorced person not in communion with the Church is not an ideal RCIA instructor and can hardly be said to be a decent witness of the grace of God. If the pastor allows this to go on, then I question the state of the catechesis in that parish in general.

Who can teach RCIA? Well, the answer ab experientia would be "anyone who is shockingly ignorant of the doctrines and disciplines of the Catholic faith."
