And my friends wonder why I am contemplating leaving Rome. But I guess, in actuality Rome, left me.

Don’t let the b@st@rds drive you out.

There are better reasons to stay than to p!ss Francis off, but if you need that motivation, be a bitter clinger.

Sometimes we are called to drink the bitter dregs.

These are times that try men’s souls.

John 6:68 - And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.

"And my friends wonder why I am contemplating leaving Rome. But I guess, in actuality Rome, left me."

It's really scandalous how the vast majority of bishops virtually ignore all the so-called "Catholic" politicians adopting radical pro-homosexual and pro-abortion positions.

For the past thirty years or more, Catholic education has given young Catholics no reason to stay in the church, so most of them don't.

I went to Easter Mass at a nearby Catholic church, and the congregation was 80% Filipino, Central/South American, and African. There were few white people under the age of 25. The church is hoping to replenish itself with immigrants, but I don't think it will keep most of them past the first generation.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Don’t let man, men, sinners all, drive you from Christ’s one holy catholic apostolic Church. It is pure, and like peter and judas, we men are not.

You would not abandon Jesus because of JUDAS or peter’s failings would you?

Hang strong. The Church split with the reformation, taking too long to fix itself. Hold strong and be a part of the slowwww fix. God bless the protestants but they went “lesser” and lesser though their love and faith in Christ is...like catholics...good great mediocre and bad, but they should have fought like you and me, like the Counter-reformers did and again are doing. Pope’s don’t live forever.

We also don’t know the details so we PRAY and do PENANCE!
Bishop Schnieder said to pray and do penance. We are being punished for bad priests, birth control, abortion...penance and prayer and He will lead us out of Egypt, again.

Hmmm ...so ...(correct me if I'm wrong) these judas-priest traitor-bishops are wrong for abandoning Catholicism, so you're going to make things a bit better by ... also abandoning Catholicism?

Are you a good Catholic? If so, would you be improving the Church by leaving?

Are you Confirmed? Do you realize that was to make you a Miles Christi (Soldier of Christ)? Would it be a winning strategy to throw away the grace of the Sacrament by going AWOL by abandoning your post?

Perhaps I have misjudged you? I do hope I've misjudged you. Please correct me --- hoping to hear from you.

If you leave, they win. Simple as that.

[Salvation]

You will always be a baptized Catholic. You will end up a Catholic at the moment you die. Don’t blow it.
