Born in 1952, Huntington,IN near Ft. Wayne. My husband and I both attended St. Peter and Pauls school. When the 60's came, we saw changes, and by 65 or so, the nuns were leaving, about half. We never knew why. Our parents never said a thing! But when Cuba crisis came, oh, the people scurried, to save their bodies! We married in 1973, the altar was no longer used. So, a table and the most beautiful marble communion rail and angle with torch statues, ripped out.
We traveled being military to Florida, N.C., Germany. All new order, we saw and knew nothing else. In Germany, I asked God for truth. First to be off contraceptives. We were taught Billings Method. Came to AZ, with 3 children and one on the way. In 1987, I met up with women with Pro-life, Catholic United for Faith. Our group would testify at the capitol. Then I was asked to read Federal Grants, by Gov. Mecham, a Mormon. He wanted to know who was bringing sex ed. into the State when it was against the laws. Today, I think he knew, he just wanted us ladies to find out. I did, it was the Dioceses. The other ladies would not accept that. I most certainly did. It was the truth. Having this truth and docuмents never changed anyone I knew. In fact I was told to get out when I found 5 New Order churches having health fairs with Planned Parenthood etc. I was told to leave or have the police take me out.
I found Fr. LeBlanc, independent, Our Lady of the Sun in 1996. Our family changed for life! then when he died, we found CMRI with Fr. Ephrem and back to Our Lady of the Sun with Fr. Gronenthal.
We sure learnt a lot.
