@laurelmarycecilia Actually...the Church left them.... After growing up with the strong guidance and compelling beauty of Tradition, the Church took all that away and gave them guitars, Kumbaya and infantile liturgies intead. Is it any wonder they left behind that insipid excuse for religion which the "New Church" offered them?

Vatican II changed the expression of the “faith” . You are correct that the True Magisterium of the Faith has never and will never change. But the changing of the True Sacrifice of the Mass into a Protestant commemoration, with no option for the True Mass, drove people from the churches in confusion.
