I did not call you a heretic. I called you a schismatic. The two are not the same thing.
“I do not want to throw out any valid Catholic Canon”
Indeed, but you are challenging the authority of the magisterium to enact Vatican II in the same manner that the Reformers disregarded Trent.
“Vatican II destroyed the Catholic Church to a LARGE extent.”
I disagree. You cite liturgical abuses that are contrary to what is actually found in Vatican II.
“You should see the lack of males in my Catholic parish.”
There’s little purpose for them to be there, IMHO. They aren’t welcomed. You won’t find anyone even bother to ask them how they are doing or get them connected into the parish. I am lucky, as I assist with religious education - so the parish does know me.
I miss the crop that I went to Church with originally and it would be nice to have company for mass, especially a nice lady since I am single, but alas. :(
Listen-—I have no beef with you. I do with the Church—but raising four boys you can imagine my horror. There is no greater evil than the molestation of boys and the destruction of there innocence. The molesters were not Catholic. I wrote to the Church years ago-—told them they need to admit their problem of infiltration by homosexuals. They finally did-—in Fr. Oko’s book——Finally, after how many decades. They covered up the fact that the homosexuals were instigating all this evil and the homomafia was covering it up.
Do I know the Truth? No. I can’t-—I can attempt to know the Truth as far as humanly possible. My heart guides me-—but Reason does even more, and the Marxism I see in the Church—especially in the US is extremely troubling. As Solzhenitsyn stated about the mathematician who wrote a book titled ‘Socialism”-—he stated ALL socialism/Marxism rots the soul.
Subsidiarity is a fundamental principle of Justice in the Church and Charity is never “given” by government. It is irrational to put the word “social” in front of Justice. It is an oxymoron. Justice never needs a modifier.
I agree- and you have a hard row to hoe with your 4. But I believe the Church, flawed as she is - is really what is going to do best by your boys.
You think they are going to get what they need anywhere else? I don’t see it.
After decades of being gung-ho recommending that young folks get some military time, I am now advising against it. Very sad times in our patria.
That would be something for Oliver North to do, open an academy! We have plenty of room around in the hills here in Austin.
I know I’m not the only one who had a lesbian track and basketball coach 30 years ago. Perverts go where their victims are captive and defenseless.
