You don’t need Catholicism to worship God. I was born and raised a Catholic. I had 8 years of Catholic grammar school followed by 4 years of Catholic high school. My mother was a strict Catholic which included Latin Mass. My father nearly joined the priesthood before he met my mother.

I adore my God my Father. Catholicism prevented me from finding God within myself...along with a traumatic car accident (my “savior”). I think man made religion is actually the death of God.

I wish you all thee best trying to sneek past that one my fully pedigree'd fiend.

The “Church” is within you.

how can a community of people gathered together in Christ's name be within somebody, I'm curious to find out?

The divinity of God is within each person (soul), no?

I used to be distracted with all the shiny metaphors of New Age pseudo religious landscape.

Now, in this instance this is all that counts: Matthew 18:20

Thank you for your thoughts and sharing your experience. It (the religion)works for me because it allows me access to the Sacraments; something of which I would not have were I to leave. I, too, am a TLM devotee and while raised with the OF Form or Novus Ordo but the Latin Mass has made an immense difference in my spiritual life and growth.
