[Krista33]

The priest at a local parish here said in one of his homilies a while ago that "it used to be that when people had a problem with the Catholic church....they left. We call them Protestants. Now, they stay, and they complain and they want the Church to change. If you don't like the doctrine of the Catholic church, you shouldn't campaign to have it changed."

Let us hope he does not do marriage counseling.If you have a problem - just leave the marriage.

Many Catholics I know love the Church enough to stay and try to work out the problem. In any situation of working things out both sides must try to understand the other. It does not work when one side says "I don't want to listen - this is the way it is - if you don't like it leave"
