Where does your father stand (if he is still with us)?
My father (alive and well) basically follows what my mother wanted/did, FOR THE MOST PART.. He is/was a very good father in the temporal sense. Led the family, disciplined, etc. He is sort of a get it over with Church goer, I'm sorry to say. He does pray, say the Rosary by himself, etc. What's funny is that when I was in the N.O, I couldn't wait for Church to be over, either.
He grew up with no father, had a rough life, but grew up to be a stable, prize of a future husband/engineer. He makes literally no decision off an emotion, it's quite impressive, and I look up to him a lot. I may be wrong on what he thinks personally, he's a very private, out of the spotlight kind of man. Although, he agrees with everything I say about the Church and N.O. This is what confuses me.
If he said to my mother: we are gonna go to SPPX/Sede church, she would follow with no resistance. The husbands need to lead and get over their attachment to the boomer retirement lifestyle, like my dad won't admit he wants. A lot of dads are straight lazy with spiritual things and don't wanna talk to anybody to save their lives... We are at war, no time to ignore what is going on in the Church or right in our neighborhood.
