[QUOTE="jas3, post: 77618049, member: 447851"] I have, in several different ways. Some people, especially Orthodox people I've talked to, are horrified at the new mass and things like Fiducia Supplicans, and write off Catholicism completely (not to say that they don't have problems with things prior to those, like the papacy, but those are what make them ask how anyone could consider Catholicism today). Others, especially online, are just there to make noise and call you a Mary-worshipper if you hold beliefs that even early Protestants did. I have noticed several here and they tend to be the loudest voices and have the most colored text in their posts, but I just add them to my "ignore" list so I don't have to see their posts. Yes, I don't think it's always profitable or edifying to study everything. Some good examples of this are eschatology and demonology, both of which have led many people to some very unhealthy obsessions. No, I was Methodist but left once it became clear that the denomination was headed toward schism and the "traditional" denomination was busy virtue signaling about every current issue short of disordered sexuality. I originally was only looking at Protestant denominations, but realized that most of them had caved in to worldliness too. In that process I became convinced of the doctrines of the Real Presence and apostolic succession, so I've spent the past few years researching the apostolic churches. Of those, I have decided against the Church of the East and the Oriental Orthodox, but am having a difficult time deciding between Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism. Thanks be to God, I have an SSPX chapel within driving distance so I'm able to attend a traditional mass when I do go to a Catholic church. I also attend an Orthodox church for the time being. It's a different kind of no-man's land than you described, but still an uncomfortable in-between state. [/QUOTE]
