I have the sense that if all of those problems you’ve mentioned, and more, were all fixed to your satisfaction, you’d still find another excuse to stay away. But that is your decision and it is you who will answer to God for your decisions, as I will answer to Him for mine.
But if these really are the reasons why you’ve walked away from the Church (and no truly sincere Catholic would diagree with your concerns about most all of them), you must know that the SSPX is Catholic and subscribes to all of the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church. No SSPX priest or bishop has committed any of those sins that you’ve enumerated. I don’t know where you live, but if you were sincere in your Catholic beliefs you could go on the net, find one of their Churches, go to confession and become a good Catholic once more. The SSPX may have its difficulties with Rome, but they might just work out well for you.

Feel what you like. But it’s not about me is it. It’s about the problems I mentioned whether Norm Lenhart or anyone else comes back or not. Because they matter and I don’t. I mean it’s not like I can write the Pope and say ‘Look sport, run it my way or I’m on the highway” and he spazzes out and excoms Nancy Pelosi.

I doubt my importance in the big scheme is quit that great.

I don’t figure in their plans. I don’t effect anything in any life there. Not the Priests, not the slaughtered Christians. Not the pope. So how about this radical proposition. Place the scrutiny and concerns where someone can benefit by fixing what DOES matter.
