For the record, I'm a non-denominational, low info Christian who is attempting to avoid becoming "denominationally damaged" while seeking the Truth.

good way to view yourself. I recommend that you start at the top, that would be Catholicism....read about it, study it and certainly attend Mass in a few different parishes.That's just to avoid being swayed by an uninspiring Homily.

Once you're convinced that you know what's going on and what the Church teaches, and has taught for 20 centuries, then feel free to explore those denominations which, for whatever reasons, they each decided to seek their own concept of what Christianity is.....It shouldn't take more than a few months to discover the truth.

I suggest you avoid anyone who does not recognize CHRIST above all.

Start with Him. He will guide you through His Word and His Spirit.

Please forgive my ignorance and if, in my ignorance, I say something you might take as being offensive, but it appears the Church chose a different path back in the early 1960s.

I'm trying to understand how the Church has been altered in our times since "Vatican II", and all in spite of the warnings.

These changes coincide with, or perhaps lay the groundwork for, the rapidly transforming world we are now struggling with.

The acceleration is rather breathtaking, almost nauseating, really, and it all has me trying to find our place in the story we were born into.
