Back then I told my very conservative BIL that Catholics would rue the day they jumped in bed with evangelicals. Mass in the 90s became more about abortion than anything else, and homilies were dumbed down. I was like okay.., if you are opposed to abortion - don't have one - but refrain from judgement. Despite the very generous and kind people in the parish - at some point enough was enough.
