Just more blame, I’m afraid. My mother disliked the changes of Vatican 2 and so we were schlepped around to various conservative Catholic Churches and on occasion, Russian Orthodox - just to escape shaking hands with the guy she was going to run over in the Church’s parking lot. In other words, as Coriolanus said, there are other worlds. We found them and it certainly influenced us in a positive way. To this day, she contributes to a parish in Northern New Jersey that is staunchly conservative. My father was buried from there and I must say! I thought it was 1959 again.
LOL! I was living in California during the worst of Vatican II's excesses (with some truly execrable bishops, both from the point of view of doctrine and the point of view of their own personal morality) and we actually went to an Orthodox church for awhile. It was very ethnic, but at least not insane. We then changed rites and became Byzantine Rite, which was a little more protected, but unfortunately the Byzantine Rite doesn't exist in many parts of the country.
My late mother was raised in a parish in either Garfield or Trenton New Jersey and she came out staunchly conservative. She said the parish was run by Franciscans.
