[quote=Anonymous]OP, I could have written your post. One thing I try to remind myself of is this: the Church itself is a divine institution that is, nonetheless, run and administered by human beings, with all of their flaws and imperfections and stupidities. I am sure there were millions who were just as distressed and freaked out by Vatican II as there are those of us now who are freaked out by the current, reactionary regime. My friends and family were astonished when I voluntarily converted at the age of 36, especially since I was coming from the Episcopal Church and had seriously considered a career as a Priest. My answer is always the same: the Catholic Mass is my surest, most secure path to the presence of God. It doesn't work for everyone but it certainly does for me. I'm in it for the religion, not the social policy. It's really hard to separate the two, though. I'm glad to know that others struggle with this as well.[/quote]
