“There are not a hundred people in America who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions of people who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church — which is, of course, quite a different thing.”
— Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, Foreword to Radio Replies Vol. 1, (1938) page ix

However, there are two things that really freak them out and scare them off. It’s not what you think it is. It’s not…
Find a Reverent Mass…
Shane regularly attends the Novus Ordo Mass (NOM). That might surprise some people, but it is a reverent NOM with an orthodox Catholic priest.

Many Catholics are in this situation, and it’s not their fault. This is why it’s so important to reward parishes (with our attendance and donations) that celebrate traditional and reverent liturgy regardless of the kind of liturgy they use. You can find all sorts of traditional and reverent liturgy here at this link: https://reverentcatholicmass.com/
