Persevere. Find another parish with a conservative pastor. Check out other rites full communion with Rome. Tell the diocese exactly why they will never get another dime from you (by this you have tremendous power) and give your money to worthy causes.

As easy as it may be, please don't check out. We need real Catholics in the pews. Remember, your suffering is not going unnoticed by Rome or unrewarded by God.

The patient & thoughtful explanations of some aspects of the many variations on the theme ( schism ) is appreciated. This marks the very first time I have found anyone still active in the Church with the courage to even address this issue. I am, however, convinced that the entire Church has become corrupted-by federal money, socialistic & communistic philosophies and suffers the same manner of degredation of all other of our institutions. When offices are maintained in Washington,D.C. to lobby for more money, this has become a government agency, not a Church. I have a long list of traditionalist sites on my favorites ( UnaVoce & many others amoung them ) & have read through several. I shall look into the several you mention, as some are new to me.

Encouraging but I think a purging is needed. The huge infusion of criminal aliens has brought up the numbers in the US, now we shall see if the federal ( tax ) money & donations of working class parishners is sufficient to satisfy US & Vatican needs. The last priest with whom I had direct contact now serves 3 life terms in Texas prison. He came to our parish with a charge from the bishop to put the finances in order, manage more efficiently & appropriatly to what he termed, "A half million dollar a year enterprise". The pews are now filled with people who can hardly speak English. I wonder what became of the 'half million dollar a year enterprise"?
