It is from that perspective that I took your post to heart,understanding why you felt the way you did,yet unwilling to not take the time to point out to you that for all concerned,yourself as well as the Church,you might consider another place to be. Or at the least ask that you not call yourself Catholic while denying what the Church teaches.

I too appreciate the thoughtful comments of B-Chan, A. Pole and yourself, but with all due respect I cannot comply with your wish that I either find a more suitable Church, deny that I'm a Catholic or return to the fold chastened and mum.

I was baptized in the Catholic Church, made my first Confession there, recieved First Communion there, and finally confirmed there. I will continue to express my thoughts regarding the direction and state of Catholic affairs because I am Catholic, and the Church is not (nor should it ever be) above criticism both from within or without.

If you and others such as yourself consider people such as myself a thorn in the side of the Church, I'm afraid that's something I can't do anything about. The Church can always excommunicate me if she feels I've stepped over the line, it is her right and I would comply.

Establishing a comfort zone for the Church during these difficult and chaotic times by hoping the doubting Thomases make themselves scarce is not something that will or should happen. Most especially because of the imposters you have alluded to.

I never said people like you should remain mum,I never said you should not be forthright and steadfast and confront the "imposter bishops". You know,those who say they are Catholic and are not;they lie.

However,you can't fight deceit nor unmask the enemy when you yourself are guilty of the same. Your latest post makes it clear that you and the "imposter bishops" are cut from the same cloth.
