Interesting read. Thanks Colleen . I bridged pre and post Vatican II. I saw the good and bad of both.

Thr chruch compromised things that I thought were solid docrtrine ,,,,,,,but the also losened up some of the litergical ritual so that it could be more culturally revelant.

I played in a folk group post Vat.II....But I was also troubled by some of the changes that make the more conservative RC's nuts

I have had many personal struggles with the all inclusive nature of the church today ( Christian churches not just RC)........too many compromises with non Christians (as I just fought about on the Lutheran thread)

It will be interesting to see what the next Pope will do..(isn't there some tradition or prophecy or something that says the next one is the last one?)......
