Hi, this is a question I've been asking myself on and off for almost my entire time as a catholic : how long shall I fight against the demonic powers reigning in the church? Liberalism and heterodoxy is so so widespread and I'm not able to rest anywhere, but in my private prayer and in theological studies. I'm tired and I'm exhausted, Its coming to the point where I start to think I should let go.
I mean since the day I embraced Catholicism and converted I've felt drawn by its mysticism and its spirituality aswell as its systematic theology.
Equally true is it that since day one I've felt like I'm being labeled and harrassed within the church for taking the catechism and the faith deeply serious.
Progressive and heterodox Catholics are everywhere and I'm feeling like a sitting duck in a duck pond surrounded by predators.
As I said I'm on the brick of giving up and let this pope of ours keep his church and have all his liberal friends spread their heresy without my having to endure this hogwash, week in and week out.
I'm very disillusioned with how things are at the moment, both in the western church aswell as the eastern church. I'm about to give up on this whole apostolic church idea we adhere to and hold so highly. I'm actually thinking of perhaps go back to a conservative Lutheran church or something, I dunno...
Thing is I wish I can continue on in church, but it's so tiresome to be running uphill every single minute I'm in church. Liberal mass, liberaltheology and straight out heretical homilies...
On top of everything sspx is shutting down its parish near me
I can only take so much and then on top of everything I'm ostracised by friends and other Catholics because I'm prolife and against LGBT...
Well I'm just letting go of some steam I guess. I guess I'm just asking for prayers etc...
