Masculine & Strong Catholic Priests (Credit: Catholic Candy)

. . .our Catholic identity was devastated after the Council, particularly due to a loss of the sense of the transcendent in our worship & our church buildings.  In well-intentioned attempts to undo of the damage, some have thought to appropriate elements of Eastern Christianity, which did not undergo such a dramatic loss of the transcendent.  They started to “byzantinize” our Latin churches. . . No.  We have our own Latin traditions which ought to be recovered. . .

The Catholic Controversy by St. Francis de Sales (Credit: Screen Shot Pic from Off the Cuff)

5 Books that Walked Me Back to the Faith

. . .Crossing the Tiber.  Journey Home.  Coming Home.  However you label that decision to go all in on Catholicism, the process is never without heartbreak & loss.  After falling in love with my non-Catholic husband & subsequently falling away from my Catholic roots, we spent 17 years roaming the Protestant landscape.  My everyday life friends were also deeply steeped in our schooling & faith community.  Therefore, when we left that faith tradition, we inevitably had to leave behind some sweet relationships that just did not survive the departure. . .
