My advice to Steve would be to read the documents and come to his own understanding. All the V2 documents translated into English can be had in soft cover for about $40. I dont find them all that interesting as far as reading is concerned but they are readable. And, yes, I’ve had to read most of them now entering my 6th year of formation for the diaconate ( permanent).
God bless you on this journey! We have another deacon in the group as well as another freeper who is in the seminary. Thank you for the post and ping.
