Catholic here. I feel so betrayed by my church. Not so much by this iteration of its current state and of an unholy pope, but by how much has been hidden from us, purposefully or not, about Jesus. But I know the basics of what I need. The “body of Christ”, us, is more than I ever pondered in my heart. We are literally connected, all one. And we were never separated from God. So many lies, so much confusion as to what and who we really are
Catholic too! I felt betrayed when I found out all the priests in my area voted for hillary and not trump. I wondered, how could this be? He is pro life??? She is pro abortion... A head priest had to write a sympathy letter of sorts to the group after that night of miracles happened. As for the hidden part, I am reading whatever I can and trying to fill in the blanks. It has been pretty fun to tell you the truth. I feel free and truly joyful. You're right! We're all connected. We are one!
The Latin masses that I can find are packed with people, especially young families with 5 kids each, minimum. Most have 6-9 kids each. That part of the Church is thriving and growing like crazy.

There is more ACTUAL religion here on this forum than you'll find in a Catholic church.
I know what you mean. I am Catholic.
The church is not uniform. Some parishes are empty and dead.
But there are many who are deeply faithful and that preach the gospel. Those parishes are vibrant and growing fast.
