I just feel repulsed by disobedience even if I would love the TLM more in use in every city.
If things that I've said ...
questions I have asked ...
have caused you to feel 'repulsion' ... I am sorry.
But I am not sorry for asking my questions ...
and I do appreciate the answers I've been given ...
because I am genuinely trying to understand what is going on presently in the Church.
I will admit; though I am a revert with a Pre-Vatican II background, I am still very 'Protestant' in my thinking. I am aware of that.
And I do not understand so well things like 'loyalty to the pope', etc., but I am trying to understand them.
I may be asking uncomfortable questions, but it is not to make any persons here feel uncomfortable.
It really is just to help me to understand what is going on.
These days, I am hearing 'Resist'. I am also hearing 'Obey the pope and be loyal to him, no matter what he says or does'.
It is all very confusing ...
I am happy to be back in the Church. But it is also a confusing time to come back.
All please know, I do not mean to offend any of you, with my questions.
Right now, I am listening to the Youtube video "On the Verge of Schism" with Moynihan & Murr.
It is interesting, but I'm so reminded of how many levels of authority there are, in the Catholic Church.
The Protestant church does not have all that, so all the rules, formalities, legalities about Catholicism are foreign to me.
But as a retired career government employee, I do 'get' how some of that works, and I continue to learn ...
