I lived in a diocese which had one of Jadot's bishops. Our parish was not as extremely liberal as the one depicted here but there were many similarities. When I think of my time there, of wandering in the desert and not knowing any better it makes me extremely sad. In fact, by the time we were getting ready to move to another state I was just about ready to walk away from the Church and any religious belief. Fortunately I decided to check out the parish closest to us in our new town; it was really Catholic and nine years later I am still there.

Ditto! Only difference is that I was able to find my way home to a reverent liturgy through an Eastern Catholic Church. It's a frightening situation in which to find oneself; faith, prayer and trust in God was the answer.
