It is heart-breaking what has happened to the Church, and has made me think twice about converting. I believe that the Church’s teachings haven’t changed, but it is now infested with those who openly defy its teachings.

I highly recommend that you watch the Eternal Word Television Network - EWTN (if you haven’t been already) especially the Daily Mass (live at 8am Eastern Time, reruns throughout the day), Mother Angelica Live Classics, and Father John Corapi. http://www.ewtn.com/
EWTN is headquartered in Irondale, Alabama (just outside Birmingham) and is as conservative Catholic as you can get in the U.S.
