![1. You can love Traditional liturgies, prayers, etc... and still be open to the movement and working of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, that's what being 'charismatic' is- and every single Catholic should be open to the Holy Spirit.
2. Yes- we need reverence- AND- if Jesus saw fit to make Himself present under the form of Bread and Wine, why wouldn't we also humble ourselves to recieve Him under that form, even if the liturgy isn't done by our personal preferences? At every Mass, everywhere, Christ should be at the center- not our preferences.
3. 3 Days of Darkness. The Church doesn't teach it. There's no credible proof for it. There's a TON of fear-mongering surrounding it, especially online. Fear is not from God.
4. Holiness- including the sanctification of the family- is not a one size fits all situation! Your life does not need to look one, specific way in order to become a Saint... just look at the Saints! Saint Gianna, Saint Zelie, are just a couple!
5. You can wear all the skirts and suits, have the most beautiful veils, wear Saint socks every day, and LOOK like the most Catholic person on the planet besides the Pope... and still not be living a life of holiness. Visible piety and devotions are good- but they don't automatically make you holy!
6. All life is precious. Period. No matter what. The Catechism says, "Consequently, the Church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that “the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person”,[1] and she works with determination for its abolition worldwide." (CCC 2267)
7. Though there were certainly problems with implementation, we've seen a rise in conversions around the world, and it brought about much needed renewal and reform in the Church.
8. How is manipulating people and encouraging anger Christ- like? We can speak firmly without resorting to personal attacks or fear 🤍
