See if there is a Latin Rite Mass your parents can go to, chances are the priest that says that Mass is a real conservative/traditionalist.
I understand the difference,I don’t know why you would assume I didn’t.
Not a single mention of it at my Mass by the priest, deacon or parishioners.
I think the Western Catholic Church is half of what you describe.The other half is orthodox.
Also, the African Bishops seem to have their act together and are mostly traditional and orthodox..
“I understand the difference,I don’t know why you would assume I didn’t.”
Because logically you can’t. If you did, you would not have said “plenty of Churches” when there are in fact very few. Perhaps you meant to say “churches” rather than “Churches”? Otherwise, your original comment is logically impossible.
I don’t know what your problem is,But I’m getting tired of this.Don’t post to me again.
....” He just doesn’t realize it.”......
Francis realizes what he’s doing..absolutely....
The encyclical lays ground to ‘legitimize global government’ and makes Francis and the catholic church an instrument of propaganda...The document’s distortions and factual errors are those of the climate-change establishment fully consummed and regurgitated...and is steeped in Third Worldism...giving a to Third World oligarchs and despots.
Francis attempts to impersonate himself as a public intellectual, theologian, and a man of science...and this behind the walls of ‘Vatican City with splendid gardens, a throng of world-class museums, its own armed gendarmerie aligned with Interpol, and an impenetrable immigration policy’.
Added to the quick...Francis refuses to see Islam and the spread of Sharia are the church’s enemies and instead embraces them!....Furthermore being a Jesuit, who focus on “Social Justice”, brings to mind Communism and Socialism...therefore Francis falling in line with One world Order and Governance is an exact fit.
Perhaps priests have figured out that preaching such claptrap means empty pews and empty collection plates.
Unlike Benny Hinn, Robert Tilton, Jim and Tammy Fay Bakker, Earnest Ainsley, and, am I missing anybody?
The Church is holy, its members are sinners.
AUSTIN, Texas (RNS) “Protestants can be very arrogant when pointing to Catholics,” said Boz Tchividjian, a grandson of evangelist Billy Graham and executive director of Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment (GRACE), which has investigated sex abuse allegations.

.....” I expected to see the work of a kindly Argentinan clergyman who had bought the fake science bill of goods..... But this thing lunges right for the jugular”.....
That is what he impersonates to the public and on his many foreign tours.....and so like the enemy of men’s souls...appeals to the “feelings” generations who are ripe for deception.
The Globalists recognize and identify the masses as ill equipped to understand their agenda as it is, rather they “Butter” it with loads of feel good quotes.......
Francis himself has many times mentioned “Feelings” and goes with his Jesuit training.
I agree that he knows what he’s doing as well. Anyone who thinks Francis is dim-witted/a screw loose still has their head in the sand.
My late uncle, a Jesuit Priest, had predicted that eventually there would be a mass exodus of Catholics from the Church if the Church kept insulting the intelligence of it’s followers in this way. They were no longer preaching to the illiterate peasants of Europe in the Middle Ages.
Go read about “Integral Ecology.” It’s a movement that encompasses all of the things you mentioned.
Leonardo Boff, who had been silenced by BXVI but was restored to his position by one of Bergoglio’s very first acts in 2013, is very involved in this and was heavily involved in writing the papal manifesto.
Which does explain why Pope Francis involved him in the writing of the papal manifesto.....Francis adheres to much of that himself. He's into a lot of "feeling" and "experiencing" which goes hand in hand with the Emergient Movement and the New Age Spirituality occurring in mainline churches today....
What we have is the Catholic Church and Pope Francis leading the charge for a New World Religion....
I don't think there will be a grand Exodus.....I do believe God will bring out of the catholic church those who are truly His as they will eventually see the truth of where the church is now taking them...’IF’ they desire truth.
The same thing is happening as the Emergient Church Movement is entering the mainline churches, as well as the Evangelical Churches,....Christians are leaving to find another church that does not adhere to this false moment. Unfortunately these are becoming few and far in between as liberalism as so indoctrinated people that they have lost all sense of spiritual discernment. Jesus told us this day would come.....there are many taking a bite out of the apple that dooms men's souls...for "few" are chosen.
This phrase, or language, comes up in a number of different contexts...in this case the Catholic Church, but also the Occupy movement, the Climate Change Movement, and The New Economy movement....
Pope Francis brought together social justice and eco-justice into close relationship. Also a teaching of Jesuits.....However we must remember that in many pagan societies, the earth was seen as ‘a mother’... a fertile giver of life.. with the soil, forest, sea etc. endowed with divinity, and mortals were ‘subordinate to it’.
Therefore....Francis’ encyclical attempts to ‘realign’ both ‘ecology and economics’ which plays into the Globalist Agenda PERFECTLY..... So ‘Francis is building upon the sand’...and we know how that ends.
Furthermore...Integral Ecology is presented in such a way that ‘interrupts Gods plan for man’....actually reversing it.....making the relationship between humans and nature ‘foremost’ above that of God's design that nature is subject to mans domination.... Just the opposite of God's plan and painted in pretty colors, sights and sounds ‘that appeal to the senses’ of the masses.
Even former ‘Ghana’ Cardinal Turkson who is current ‘president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace’. layed out four principles that undergird integral ecology, summarized here:....(Note the vocabulary/language)
1. The call to all peoples to be protectors of the environment is ‘integral and all embracing’.
2. Care for creation is ‘a virtue’ in its own right.
3. It is necessary to care for what ‘we cherish and revere’.
4. A ‘new global solidarity’ is ‘a key’ value to direct our search ‘for the common good’.....
Frightening, this should be to catholics, and I pray those who remain that are true believers will soon have their eyes open that they might escape what is to come.
How can they do this? They have to follow the pope in all he says.

If not, it sounds like they’re practicing their own personal interpretation of Scripture.
Revelation 18:4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues;
Sometimes I get despondent at how bullheaded and stubborn catholics are....but then I remember they are willfully blind to the truth and it must be God who opens their eyes to the truth. But they do have to 'want' to know the truth....
I can relate to Jesus when he stood over Jerusalem saying...
