I had hoped this idea was something that would go away. Unfortunately, I thought wrong. I encourage everyone to email the Remnant and add your name to this petition: http://www.remnantnewspaper.com/2011-0331-statement-of-reservations-beatification.htm
A personal note: I became a Catholic under John Paul II. By the time I discovered that he denied Scriptural inerrancy, believed in evolution, taught the Jews did not need to convert to Christ and had a valid covenant of their own, taught that Protestants and Eastern Orthodox only should convert to the Church because it had the "fullness of the truth", not because it was necessary for salvation , the scandals of Assisi, the scandal of kissing the Koran, his continued retention of Cardinals and Archbishops that openly preached heresy (Cardinal Mahoney, anyone?), promoted feminism and working motherhood, denied the Church's traditional teaching on marriage (that a woman is to submit to her husband) and preached an idea very close to universal salvation-among many other things I could write I had been attending Mass for 3 months and was in love with the Blessed Eucharist and the Blessed Mother. I had managed to find info that just "went over the basics" of being Catholic such as the Eucharist, what papal infallibility was and wasn', (of course, this was highly confused by my time in the NO where they insisted that every news statement by the Holy Father post VII was infallible and nothing short of ex cathedra pre VII was infallible and even those could usually be twisted to favor the current pontificate, devotion to Mary, etc and so had felt I was safe converting and that it was the one true Church of Christ and that it was the truly Scriptural church. Had I found this out in my searches before I attended Mass, I probably would have never set foot inside a Catholic Church. 2 years later my DH and I were about to leave over these issues when I discovered Traditional Catholicism. It wasn't the Mass at first, although as we learned more about the liturgy and what the Mass was supposed to be we became more and more uncomfortable with the Novus Ordo- it was first and primarily, and STILL IS, the doctrine. Not the "Mass of our preference", but the Mass because it worships God in a fitting manner and a manner that expressed the Traditional doctrine of the Church.
