I am taking a break. I am still hurt, angry and reactionary. None of which does any of us justice. I will prayerfully consider coming back to OBOB. When I do, it will first be in innocuous threads, such as Reilly's.
One thing, though. An apology for those of you who seem to be caught in total surprise by it. I did not "come out", as it were, because I did not feel that it was necessary at the time. I was enjoying being in the fellowship of like-minded individuals. When my husband expressed the desire to start coming here, I assented because I believe that he has a very worthwhile POV to add here. While his eagerness to share what he is learning has caused me to "come out" more quickly than I had planned, I was willing to go with it. It just hurts me deeply that some people do not consider me to be catholic anymore just because we are considering a jurisdictional switch. I know for a fact that it isn't Poly's desire to "convert" anyone to our way of thinking. He is just very eager to share with anyone who will listen & thought that we could get some lively intellectual stimulation going on here. I realize that he may have been a tad overzealous, especially when it came to me. He is being a good spouse and trying to protect the one he loves. Please don't think any less of him for his protectiveness. It's part of what I love about him (frustrating as it can sometimes be).
Peace and blessings.
