I can't believe that you are still active in that parish! It's time to "shake the dust" and move on. In this case, your prayer for these people will do more than your presence. Please, get yourself and your family into a Catholic community in tune with your values and beliefs. You need to be where you can truly be nourished spiritually, not looking for a barf bag!

Yes, you are right. I live in a small town where you know everyone and there is only one Catholic parish here, so it is hard to leave. But it is difficult as my kids like the parish priest. We are, however, slowly pulling away and searching for an orthodox parish somewhere else. No luck so far unless I want to drive for an hour each way (which we do every other week). And I do like to attend Mass during the week when I can.
