I was exaggerating to make a point as well. I should be careful not to let my conservative blood get the best of me. I am in full understanding at what is happening today and why, but I will always be proud to be a Catholic. The modern world is often disturbing, but we have been saying that for centuries. I see a great deal of things like this:when one has a toothache, one goes to the dentist. There may be some discomfort involved, but in the long run, the effects are benificial. Resignation and patience are great virtues in situations where there are no choices. I am very thankful that I do have a choice. I realize this more when I am at Mass, either it be a Latin Mass or a New Order Mass, that it is a priviledge to even be able to be there. Things could be very different.
