I’m only a cultural Catholic (lapsed in all other ways) and I idealize the beauties of the Church of my youth. About ten years ago, I witnessed my husband’s niece as an “altar girl.” Her behavior was so reprehensible that I vowed never to put my foot in a modern church again. And I haven’t, lol!
I feel the same way about women priests - can you imagine confessing to some pious yenta?! Not me, brother.
By the way, I think we agree on the Casey Anthony case.
The altar “girl” concept is right out of Marx ideology. It is to blur the line between male and female in the minds of boys and girls.....it is all about altering the worldview of children and that there is no proper roles for men and women—it is all cultural construct-— so they will accept a different design of nature than God’s design.
The Catholic Church was infiltrated by the Devil.....like everything is—it is no different.
I am working inside the Church to change it....wish me “luck”, but since I am working against the Devil, I am very humble about my chances of effecting “change”. Their adoption of “popular culture” is killing them....and the Truth. The Pope seems to get this “Age of Relativism” but many of the bishops and priests want to be perceived as “nice” and “inclusive” —the Pollyanna vision of “Truth” where you never point out sin and call it what it is. Either the Catholic Church is the one true Apostolic Church or it is a fraud. One thing is obvious—it has been infiltrated by the Devil. To what extent....we will see eventually, won’t we.
