we have always practiced Catholicism in our own unique manner, incorporating traditional beliefs

To the extent you augment or dilute Catholicism, you ain't Catholic, dude.

agreed, but what we are witnessing is the great falling away prophesized in the Bible to happen right before the end of time. it didn’t happen in the 1st century, nor the 4th, 9th, 16th, but if what we are witnessing is not the great falling away, i don’t know what it is!!
