I'm a young adult (19 yo f) and what drives me away most are people like you and those who are members of the clergy who shy away from the pre vat II principles and the 2000 yrs of tradition the church *had* to offer... Tell me, if modernists had their way, why not just be an evangelical? Or protestant? I'm Catholic bc of the church, and bc I believe in the truth that the church offered even before vat II...not ppls opinions/ emotions towards it. I dont need a church thats easy to follow.. I need one that challenges me and I know im not alone
