A new blog to help with the question: are you sick of being called a Catholic Leftist, or a rigid Traditionalist?
Do Leftists in the Church accuse you of being too conservative? Do Traditionalists say you’re either part of the false Church of Vatican II or too liberal.?
It’s all very sickening, isn’t it? That’s one of the big reasons why I’m starting this blog. As a result of feeling caught in the middle. And strange to say, I am in the middle. I’m a middle-of-the-road Catholic!
How to be a faithful Catholic is hard enough without all the labels and the confusion they bring.
I’m fed up with all this argy-bargy and don’t want to be a part of it and hope to keep out of any of the entangling politics which only seem to entrench people further in their opinions and attack of their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. So, if you’re with me so far, read on…
How do you become a Catholic devoted to the truth?
If you’re anything like me, you just want to steer the middle course while adhering to the truth as left us by Jesus Christ and breathed on the Church by the Holy Spirit.
And I don’t consider myself a liberal or a traditionalist. I suppose I’m conservative in the sense of being faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. I take following Scripture and Tradition, The Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the writings of the Early Church Fathers as a solid, as what it means to be a faithful Catholic.
That also leads to being a devoted Catholic to my way of thinking. And this new blog will help you explore your own Catholic authenticity, help you rejoice in your faith.
Oh, and I can’t forget the papacy, too. What this present pope is up to confuses the heck out of me, but I pray for the man. No one, including the pope, is exempt from being a sinner and needs prayer like anyone else.
Oh, how to be a faithful Catholic and not bitch LOL!
A new blog – Catholic spiritual help
Anyhoo, I want to live the truth of my faith and witness that with love and compassion.
I left the Church before because of all the division and downright nasty shit I witnessed among believers. But I’m back as of a year ago and want to journey and help people like me.
I also need to grow in my faith and am in much need of healing. So I want to learn from you. That’s part of what this new blog is also about. And I want us to accompany each other to the Father’s House.
I rejoiced when I heard them say, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” (Ps122:1).
We can help nurture each other’s faith and be devoted Catholics, pleasing to Our Lord.
I also think it would be cool if Non-Catholics visit my site if for no other reason but to share with us. It would be great if some got an interest in the Catholic Church and would consider becoming one with us, but it’s not a requirement.
I love all followers of Jesus and I know several Protestants that are better examples of Christ’s love and mercy than what I am.
Oh, the irony of our age LOL!!!
A new blog – so correct me when I need it!
So come with me as we journey home to God’s Holy Heaven. The world is fraught with so much temptation, brokenness, noise, and distraction. We need to help each other to meander the debris of modernism and its false promises (I wonder who else makes false promises – sound familiar?).
I commit to you, with this new blog, to tell the truth, and if I make mistakes, that’s what they are – mistakes. It won’t be deliberate or an attempt to deceive. So point them out to me if you notice them, and let’s chat about it. I’ll correct any error if I’ve written it in blog posts or elsewhere on my website.
Whatever we do, let’s not argue or give more scandal.
The Church is awash with it and it’s heartbreaking. My Protestant friends tell me it’s fracturing them too in many ways. So, we’re all affected.
What should every Catholic own? – to live in the truth that is
I plan on talking about the Catholic faith in many different ways, including:
- Scripture
- The Catechism of the Catholic Church
- Our Blessed Mother Mary
- The Saints and Angels
- Various Catholic Spiritualities, e.gs. Benedictine and Carmelite
- Prayer and Meditation
- And loads More (I’m also open to ideas!)
So, get excited and check in regularly. I aim to post every week. If you subscribe for the free gift, I’ll have your email and will let you know each time I post. It’ll serve as a reminder of sorts.
A final word – don’t sweat it!
You can explore the topics here and be at peace. Know that how to be a faithful Catholic is possible in today’s world without having to think of yourself as a Leftist or a Traditionalist.
If you’re living the Catholic faith in a way that is pleasing to Jesus and will win Heaven for you, that’s what matters. Do God’s will, live the faith in obedience to God’s Word and the Magisterium and you won’t go far wrong.
Oops, you won’t go wrong at all!
Anyhoo, stay safe, and let’s keep each other in our prayers.
To your success,
Andy, The Angel Fella
