I think I can best sum it up by simply asking you, was the nearly 2,000 years of Catholicism prior to the Second Vatican Council so unpalatable (or even theologicalyy incorrect?) that you believe that your current conversion would be impossible?<BR/><BR/>Dominus Tecum,<BR/>The CavemanKevin Whitemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019976622801954677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-1135188149221013382005-12-21T13:02:00.000-05:002005-12-21T13:02:00.000-05:00Evidence that Second Vatican Counsil has had benef...Evidence that Second Vatican Counsil has had beneficial effect: I, a former Protestant minister who resigned to convert to the Roman Catholic church, bringing my whole family{!} with me {and they are all coming of their own volition} could not, I think, have approached the Catholic Church in a pre VII setting. Because we can understand the Mass I can embrace it fully, because there is a passion in our parish for reaching those without a Catholic faith, because of so many other reasons I, we, are so grateful for that important council.<BR/><BR/>I'll grant that I would prefer that our church had a Cruxified Lord on the cross after years of looking at an empty one or worse none at all; that while I am glad there is a Life Teen Mass for young people I do not attend it very often often because after years of choruses and more recently all out seeker services it seriously fails to speak to my contemplative soul.<BR/><BR/>I know I am not even a Catholic yet, but I wouldn't be becoming one without the room and vision of the Second Vatican Council.<BR/><BR/>The peace of Christ be with you...<BR/>Owenowenswainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00540186205959897960noreply@blogger.com
