Question regarding so-called Vatican 2 sect and my dep	Lisa	Monday, May 16, 2016
Question: It isn't like I don't have enough problems with clinical depression and anxiety attacks, and I am hoping I make myself clear. I am not well right now, so bear with me. I recently learned I am not really Catholic and am considered as belonging to the Vatican 2 sect/ heresy! I am unable to fathom not pleasing Jesus and Blessed Mother, and it causes me to have severe anxiety. I was already ill, and I have been praying daily, but when I discovered this it filled me with much confusion an despair. Please help me understand this correctly. I truly want to please God. He's all I have and I don't want to lose Him. I trust you will lead me to Jesus. I also will pray you as well.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), LTh, DD Dear Lisa: I will pray for you concerning your medical problems. One of the things you need to do to avoid further depression and anxiety is to avoid listening to and reading these people who can be called the "fringe fundamentalist Catholics" who are not in communion with the Church. Vatican II was not an evil Council and those who go to the current Mass are not in a sect or are in heresy. These dissenters need psychiatric help. Many of them are afflicted with Scrupulosity, which is the religious form of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality disorder. Such people cause great division and factions in the Church, which is a sin. St. Paul tells us in Titus 3:10-11 ~ 10 As for a man who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him,11 knowing that such a person is perverted and sinful; he is self-condemned. Ignore these people, Lisa. You are okay. Read your Catechism, practice your wonderful Faith and ignore these bozos; they do not speak for the Church and have separated themselves from the Church.

Question:

It isn't like I don't have enough problems with clinical depression and anxiety attacks, and I am hoping I make myself clear. I am not well right now, so bear with me.

I recently learned I am not really Catholic and am considered as belonging to the Vatican 2 sect/ heresy! I am unable to fathom not pleasing Jesus and Blessed Mother, and it causes me to have severe anxiety. I was already ill, and I have been praying daily, but when I discovered this it filled me with much confusion an despair.

Please help me understand this correctly. I truly want to please God. He's all I have and I don't want to lose Him.

I trust you will lead me to Jesus. I also will pray you as well.
