THANK YOU!!!!
Keep going to church and participating as usual. Do not, I repeat, do not allow your commitment to God to be sabotaged.
Sounds like your wife and my ex could have been twins.
Forgive me if I am not recalling correctly but I thought you lived in or near a major city. If that is the case, go parish shopping. It’s better than suffering through a liberal homily every week.
Prayers up and continuing for the comfort and guidance of you and your family.
I will keep you in my prayers.
Can’t give you advice about the church, but as a doc I would say your wife sounds depressed.
Is she menopausal? A good medical checkup followed by a good therapist (not a feminist one but one that works to train her how to redirect her thinking to the positive, i.e. cognitive therapy_ often depressed folks get so involved in the negative that they don’t recognize that their thinking is exaggerated to see the negative).
As for your “directing” her: You are not her boss, but are supposed to love her as Christ loved the church.
I remember one Pentecost when the scriptures were read in six different languages simultaneously. It wasn’t a mass, it was experimental theater.
