“what can Catholics expect?”
Jesus told all Christians what to expect in John 16:2.
“They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.”
That’s what you signed up for when you became a Christian. Wanna quit?
yeah, I want to quit except I can’t.
I want off the merry go round. It seems to me that if you are a Christian, and a Catholic, everything should get better not worse. However, I am God’s puppet. I have to follow His will as best I can discern it. I am very different from my neighbors.
This is why the Bible says “love the family of believers”. ‘Love your enemies”. It does NOT say love everybody.
