Welcome to the forums and welcome home!👋
 
Welcome home!

I am sorry, it is terrible to be away from those we love. I pray that God helps you through this and your marriage comes away stronger. Nothing like having something taken away to show us how wonderful it really is.
 
Welcome William!!!

I was raised in a small German Catholic Parish in the very rural farm country in Colorado. Our priest for many years (from when I was born till I was in High School) didn’t “believe” in Vatican II. Therefore, we didn’t make any changes. After many years of our parish ignoring Vatican II we had a new priest come in and he slowly tried to change things (with much resistance). When I went off to college, I found it difficult to adjust to “post Vatican II” parishes. My DH is a convert (from before I met him) and he asks me all the time why I do things one way when our Bishop says (suggests;) ) we are suppose to do it another. I blame it on being raised in a suborn German Catholic family 😃
I moved from my home parish 18 years ago, I still enjoy Mass there than anywhere else. It is like a good home cooked meal 😃
Although, I still cherish Mass wherever I am 👍
 
Welcome. Sounds like you make a beautiful couple. Godspeed in getting her back with you.
