This is slightly off -topic, but it is in keeping with the discussion.
I too am a frustrated catholic, again.
I recently moved out of Illinois (thank GOD) to northern Alabama.
Everything is better where we live now- except the Catholic parishes. All of them embrace a bad touchy feely (literally) approach to the mass and the music is brutal. All this hand holding and homilies that test ones patience and tolerance. It’s much worse than anything I experienced in the 70’s and 80’s in Illinois. I don’t think that some of the extracurricular activities that they include as part of the mass are even officially sanctioned.
The parish I left in Illinois was darn near perfect.
So now I’m lost again without a parish. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
