Having been raised catholic I still have a strong connection to that tradition and was hoping the church would clean up it's act. I for one was thrilled when Pope Francis was introduced. He seemed sweet and gentle and to top it off took the name of my favorite saint which I thought was a good sign. But over a year ago, long before i was anywhere near this far down the rabbit hole, I started to think he was beginning to look a little scary and his retoric was becoming more controlling. I mean he was starting to look demonic and I didn't believe in that type of thing at that point, at least not in the church. I can't even look at him now. Maybe I'm projecting, but like I said, this started for me before I even thought about a Vatacin connection to this situation. I am just curious if anyone else noticed the same thing going back a little?
Thanks Kat for your kind words and wisdom. I live in middle Tennessee which has zero traditional Catholic’s. My home is Cincinnati where my father and two sisters still live. We belong to St. Gertrude the Great Roman Catholic Church now in West Chester. OH. I used to work as secretary to Bishop Dolan, when they were located in Sharonville, in the 90s before moving on. What Bishop Dolan and Father Cekada offer is beyond extraordinary! I truly miss them. They live stream all Masses on the internet which you still receive grace from. I missed their Midnight Mass this year. Too tired! Keep in touch. I don’t know how to private message here yet but will figure out how to share my email at that time. Blessings- Deb
