"Well, we have to choose between following Pope John Paul II..."

Ask anybody what it means to follow the pope and they'll give you blank look. Ask for specifics, and the look will go from there to confused.

Exactly where are we going? If the contemporary Church is going in a certain direction, I'd like to know what the destination is. Somebody ought to be able to lay it on the table.

Don't tell me it's heaven, because the "direction of the Church" is always packaged in terms of progress in this life, not ordered towards the next. So it can't be that.

Where we going? Had this crazy idea that truth was immutable; wonder where the heck that idea came from.

You continue to spin and obfuscate. Since you're not an SSPXer or a sedevacantist, I assume you're a traditionalist Catholic who doesn't like some of the excesses in liturgy and catechesis.

Fine. At least you're arguing in the tent.

At this time,the Church,led by Peter,under Peter,never not united with Peter is going where Christ told him to lead us.IMHO.It also includes the reason we all should be listening very closely and watching which Bishops are with the Pope. We should be there together with him/them.

Read John:Chapter 21:Verses 15 to 23.
