My whole family left the PresbyterianUSA church for much the same reasons. While uncomfortable to be cast adrift, it is a great time to return to the basis of your faith- To turn away from the rites of men and refocus on the Eternal. May God bless you for having the courage of your convictions. It will get better.
Yes, that is exactly how I feel - cast adrift. I’m not a young person so it is very hard to deal with this since I am facing my own mortality. I just don’t understand how an entire religion can go so far off the right path. There is one very conservative parish in my city that broke away from the diocese about a year ago. I have never attended mass there but perhaps I should give it a chance. Most of the Catholic parishes in my city are quite liberal as well, which is surprising since I live in a very red state and city. Thank you for your words of encouragement.
