“What I actually am”
..Well past your sell date, from the look of those snowy heads.

Well Toad, that might be so in some parishes in Europe or North America, but there are plenty of exceptions. Anyone over 35 who walks on the Chartres pilgrimage might feel ‘old’ when surrounded by literally thousands of youngsters at the beautiful Traditional Latin Mass celebrated those 3/4 days. “Snowy heads” could be counted on the fingers of the hand there!
GC has often mentioned how in other countries (and continents) the Church is packed with young people. We have an ageing population in Europe and N.America with our plunging birthrates.
On another note, it isn’t really necessary to say “Roman Catholic” – just “Catholic” is enough. There is only One Catholic Church. You are either Catholic (or Orthodox) – in direct Apostolic succession of the Church Jesus founded – or you are Protestant (breakaway Christians that do not hold the fullness of Truth.)
The term “Anglo-Catholic” is an oxymoron. You can’t be both Anglican and Catholic at the same time. The Anglican church is the one formed by Henry VIII who rebelled against the True Faith, so how can some Anglicans logically call themselves that?

As always, Kathleen, your logic is impeccable.
…And there are few heads still attached to their shoulders that are snowier than Toad’s.
…And I remember being told, as a toadpole, that “Roman” in that context – was an implied insult.
…And it has always seemed to me that the term “Catholic” itself was oxymoronic – at least in the days before the continents of America and Australasia were discovered, and most of Asia and all of Sub-Saharan Africa were black holes on the European map.
But no doubt I’m wrong.

On reflection, I’m incorrect in calling “Catholicism” an oxymoron.
I meant “misnomer.”
