Hi Pat, I am new here as well, but please allow me to welcome you!
I used to be a Protestant pastor; I was RAISED in Protestantism, even though I had many relatives who were Catholic, and many who were Novus Ordo, but also many who BEGAN as traditional Catholics and had to watch their Church being invaded by heretics.
Even when I was a KID and TOTALLY ignorant of Church history and of the truths of the Faith, I would read my grandmother's Missal or some other holy book or pamphlet, and I would realize that the hand-holding gobbledy-gook coming out of the hippies at the local 'faith community' (you know, they used to be called PARISHES and they had CHURCHES, not campfire sing-alongs)
was absolute nonsense.
I once went to a 'confirmation' at my cousins' family's Lutheran building. I walked in and realized (at maybe age 10 or so), "WHOA! This place LOOKS, SOUNDS and ACTS JUST LIKE THE WEIRDOS at the local Catholic church near me!"
I simply couldn't believe that the solemn, dignified and reverent things I saw as a VERY young boy (when I was a kid, I attended a few services on Sundays that were still Traditional as far as I remember; at least in Latin, ad orientem, etc) had been replaced by not only NON-traditional 'services', but by the VERY same aesthetic, 'music', rubrics and attitudes of liberalism that I heard from the Lutheran speaker and his bunch!
I'm glad you're here... I'm VERY glad you've come to see the value of Tradition, and how dangerous the NO is... you've only just begun to discover how sinister it all starts looking.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.
St. Anthony of Padua, hammer of heretics, terror of Hell, pray for us.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
