A FReeper tried to break down most of the Christian sects in the country but I didn’t even know there were different Catholic sects and I’m Catholic lol.
I need to either buy a book or find a good objective website, more historical and factual than taking an opinion so I can decide who’s who and what’s what.
Thanks for the reply :)
I did know about a couple of Catholic sects because when I converted in 1990, I wasn't prepared for all the innovations and disobedience by priests. Also the sex abuse scandal. I didn't have a problem with the Novus Ordo mass providing they followed liturgical norms.
I think one could go crazy trying to track all the sects. I try to stick to the mainline ones and a few which might be considered cults. In my search over the years, I did explore Christian Science, and the Jehovah's Witnesses haven't bothered me lately.
That recent scandal where that one offbeat church beat the two brothers relentless until one died. Horrible. So far from anything I believe it's hard to imagine. It can get depressing.
If you as a Catholic are satisfied where you are in the Catholic church, it is probably for the best. Catholics when they are not undergoing some trial tend to be happy people and very family oriented. They, especially the women, do a lot of good in the world, in their communities and parishes, very giving of their time and talents.
