@Escoffier @somemightsay Yeah, well, that doesn't mean every person's home just did what they wanted, see?

Anyway, the Catholics are about as corrupt and degenerate as the Protestant churches who reacted to the corruption and degeneracy, as your struggle to find a "living church" would suggest. Except with them, you get all the corruption and degeneracy but no valid Eucharist.

But you could always go Orthodox if the specter of popery haunted you so much.
