Is there a conservative church out there?
Vanity ^ | 02/15/02 | Self

Posted on 02/15/2012 3:30:52 PM PST by Toaster tank

I've had it, after 55 years, with the Catholic Church. No more of my money for these people. Every homily is like an Obama campaign speech. Hiding the homosexual scandal, promoting Obama Care........ on & on.

Is there a conservative alternative?

Orthodox Church maybe? Never been to one but I'm ready to switch.

Presbyterian Church in America is quite conservative, as is the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.

The Presbyterian Church here in town...is full of registered Democrats.

From speaking to them...they aren't "quite conservative" at all.

liberals in your parish? It’s a cross.

How’s that for a conservative homily? The scandal of Judas ... there will always be Judases in the church.

I’ve always thought that churches were to preach the word of God and Jesus only and remain apolitical?

Not sure where you are from, but until you find a parish to your liking, check out the homilies of my parish priest. You can get them by typing in Fr.Carmel.

Have you actually read the latest Papal document (or any Papal document) on the Bible? http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/apost_exhortations/documents/hf_ben-xvi_exh_20100930_verbum-domini_en.html
The Catholic Church clearly believes in the Bible. You may not agree with her interpretation of the Bible, and not all Catholics actually believe what the Church puts forward for belief, but if you read her official statements on the Bible, the official position is clear. As to actually following . . . well, that has been a problem since these two guys named Judas and Peter showed up. We try . . . at least some of us do—though it is at times tempting to despair.

If you don’t believe in the Real Presence in the Eucharist it doesn’t matter where you go.If you are concerned about politics then a church is not what you are after. Despair is a sin and you should pray and go to confession and find another parish if you don’t like the homilies.

Attend the Traditional Latin Mass — the Mass of the Church for nearly 2,000 years before the new religion of Vatican II was instituted. Rediscover your heritage — you will hear only orthodoxy and correct doctrine, and you’ll NEVER hear a liberal thought again.

Might I put forward the Anglican Orthodox Church. Affiliates in 22 countries, no real overhead, totally Scripture based and completely aligned with the Constitution in this country. www.anglicanorthodox.com

I agree with Current in post #15. Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is very conservative and strictly adheres to bibical teachings. The services are quite beautiful, especially in the older church buildings.

Try to find out how the majority of church members interpret political issues of the day after growing up in that church, or joining it.

According to conservapedia, Southern Baptists voted 80% Republican in 2008.

Fine a Traditional, Tridentine Church. You won’t hear blasphemy spoken there.

The internet makes it easy to preview churches. Look for their doctrine of faith and find wording that says that they believe in the inerrancy of the Bible. If they don’t say something along those lines then they’re compromising on God’s Truth. If they compromise there then for sure they’re compromising elsewhere.

I went through that exercise when trying to find a conservative church for my son to attend while going to college. Kind of tough to do when you’re not local to the college.

We’ve been extremely happy with the firm conservative teachings of our church, an Evangelical Free Church. Give them serious consideration.

Every homily is like an Obama campaign speech. Hiding the homosexual scandal, promoting Obama Care

Dude, you're in the wrong parish. I hate to break it to you, but human nature s#$%s. Salvation is not based on human perfection. It's based on the truth. The truth is hard, and some people can't take it. Some are liberal, and some think they are conservative. It's incumbent on you to look after your soul and your family and seek out a priest or spiritual director who can direct you well. They are all over the country. They are all over the world—especially today, with e-mail and Internet to help us find them.

Herein lies the paradox: You're angry that the liberal priests you've heard are not true enough to the Faith. And yet your solution is just as "liberal" as theirs—after all, they don't believe in the truth, and think going to church is just what makes you feel good and justified.

When Our Lord first preached "my flesh is food indeed," and so on, flocks of followers headed for the hills because they couldn't take it. He turned to the Disciples, as I remember, and asked, "Will you also go away?"

I think it was Peter who replies, "To whom, Lord, would we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life."

What are you willing to trade that for? This kind of thing has happened throughout our history, and the Church has always reformed and flourished again. Get back on board, brother. I'll lend you a bucket.
