Curiously, what are you ultimately trying to accomplish with your questioning and feedback/conclusions?

No priest was there, just a few nice lay people talking about togetherness and love, etc. I asked about the elements of the sacrament, and the group leaders froze. I then mentioned that if I wanted togetherness, I would join a country club. They were not happy with me!

It was more of a love-in (absent, of course, were several major elements of such a gathering) than anything else. Very weak foundation laid there.

Though these folks existed before Vatican Disaster II, the numbers accelerated after the Council when the Church gave up teaching the Faith opting instead for teaching "love, love, and love." They forget of course, that even atheists love. So if that's all your selling, you haven't much to sell.

Was he just somebody who loved Catholic culture, the Catholic Ghetto, so to speak, and never moved to actual love of Jesus Christ, the living God? In all of his Catholic exposure, did he never encounter the Holy Spirit, as on the day of Pentecost? Did he never have an experience of the Risen Lord?<br /><br />Because each and ever person who only learns about Jesus, and never meets Jesus Himself, will remain an outside analyst pulling at the threads of the Scripture, the Magisterium, and history of the Church and never see the revelation of God. Jesus said as much to Nicodemus (unless a man be born again...).<br /><br />I pray Mr. Middleton would have an experience much like St. Paul on his way to Damascus.
