“the mystical dimension of the Church” is a good point. Coming as a life long Protestant, I’ve grown into seeking the mystical dimension and delving into the long history Christianity and the writings of the Saints.
I too seek/sought the “mystical dimension” where God is love and only love, but now I am discovering another “mystical dimension” where there is a battle raging between good and evil and I am fighting for my/others’ salvation, so at this point I am seeking/needing truth/clarity from the Church, and I thank everyone here for sharing your views and giving me much to think about...
