Sorry, a story like this proves nothing.
The main thing anyone needs to know about the church of Rome is that Paul’s LETTER to the ROMANS still applies .....
It is amazing how appropriate Romans was to the Romans, and how that letter STILL speak to Rome’s errors.

“On my Catholic education:
8 years Catholic grade school
4 years Catholic high school
Weekly CCD classes by quite conservative Novus Ordo RCC priest
Parents subscribed to National Catholic Register, the Wanderer, Fidelity and The Remnant, and I read them while growing up.
I subscribed to Fidelity and Remnant in undergrad college and never stopped contending against modernism in the Catholic Church.”
Which, if you were part of the generation raised in the immediate aftermath of Vatican II, proves only that you are *absolutely and utterly* ignorant of real Catholicism. You got ZERO authentic Catholic catechesis by being "born and raised" anything, or going to "Catholic school" anything. I know; I lived it; I had to educate myself about my faith by *reading actual books on my own* as an adult.
There goes the neighborhood!!!
If you can’t beat them, join them.... satan!
The Catholic and the Protestant faiths all profess Jesus as the son of God....all baptize. I see no conflict for anyone from these faiths going to heaven, except in those who like Man’s Doctrines more than Gods and deny Jesus is the Son of God.
As an analogy; This reminds me of politics, and the divisive ness that keeps us all from being Americans.
Christians are both Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Pentecostal and so on. The Jews are God’s chosen family, Jesus was a Jew, and so are Christians through adoption into God’s Kingdom.
Seriously, this sibling rivalry is why we have problems today with terrorists. Jesus said “When all nations draw up against Israel”....that’s a key Biblical statement,that tells us the time and season when Jesus returns to fight Armageddon.
Ishmael was Abraham’s son by Handmaiden Hagar, Isaac was Abraham’s Son by Sarah...Isaac was the child of promise.
Ishamael is considered Mohammed’s ancestor, and Isaac is the Father of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Ishmael got put out to the desert with his mother, and he was jealous of Isaac...hence we have centuries of warfare in the form of fighting over ‘Jerusalem’ for both religions. The PA are just another group of antagonists for land promised by God to Abraham for his descendants, FOREVER. At the right time God will show up to protect his own.
Jealous Rivalry with Bloodshed and Destruction...This religious war is more about Ishmael and Isaac than us.
America represents all the Christian Missionaries who have gone throughout the world to spread Christianity. This country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and represents the prosperity of freedom. That is offensive to those who live in constant turmoil and bondage.
Islam vs Jews to the death for Jerusalem/Israel.
What would a conservative Novus Ordo priest be?
Could you break that down for me re: examples?

This was a previous response I gave on the same topic on another swimmer thread:

my parents fought the Novus Ordo modernism tooth and nail and are now in the SSPX - I would politiely challenge you to ask them if they considered me to be inadequately catechized
I subscribed to Fidelity and Remnant in undergrad college and never stopped contending against modernism in the Catholic Church.
What’s the point of repeated, yet different versions of this posted? Maybe i’m messing something.
Tell me about your conversion, that’s what i’d like to hear about. The path God put you on. I’m sure you’ve probably posted it a thousand times, so a previous link to my mail will work.
Should you wish to share it.
