You know what, I am burnt out by the whole thing, and this post is directed to no one in this thread, especially since I have only read about a third of it.
I have been following the whole amazon synod and Vatican affairs, vague statements, infighting the whole bit, and I have had enough. I am fairly conservative. I don’t like clapping, I receive on the tongue, but for the most part, I mind my own business. This whole business though about pachamama though has pushed me over the edge.
Now I find myself not enjoying the mass, so when I got home, I unsubscribed all my youtube subscriptions, unsubscribed all Catholic press in email having to due with church politics. I am taking a vacation from all of it. I am going to find a nice boring parish with no hand clapping, no holding hands, and go back to minding my own business.
When all of this news starts creeping in between me and Christ, it is time to take action. Total blackout, and go back to reading stuff from the Saints. I have to wonder if anyone else is getting burnt out about all of this.
