Though not forbidden by Canon Law, remaining in this liberal group seems unhelpful for your spiritual growth. It lacks meaningful support for deepening your Catholic faith. Therefore, it’s better to leave and join a community where Catholic life and spirituality are lived more seriously and in a truly Catholic way.

If you like what we do and want to regularly support our mission to build the Reign of Mary and/or assist the episcopal ministry of Bishop Athanasius Schneider, please consider becoming a Servant of Mary.

Transcript:

Well, it is not forbidden by Canon Law, but it is, I would say, a practical question in this case. I think it has no special meaning for you to continue in this liberal group, because it is not helping you to grow in the faith or to become more Catholic-minded. Therefore, it is better to leave this and to go to a group where you can live the Catholic life and spirituality in a more serious and truly Catholic manner.
