Pro-life Advocate, Abby Johnson explains why she attends Latin Mass
Former employee of Planned Parenthood, Johnson converted to Catholicism in 2013.
“At first, when I sat there…I was a little offended. Like, ‘Why am I not a part of this?’And then I thought, ‘Well, why do I need to be a part? I don’t have anything to do with it. That’s between the Priest and God. God doesn’t need me to say these prayers.’ And it just became so apparent that God doesn’t need me to be a part of the consecration.”
She also said that she “was struck by just how masculine the service felt…everything was led by priests. It wasn’t a laity led service.”
“For the first time in a while…I feel very reinvigorated in my faith,” she exclaimed during our conversation today. “I’m excited to go to Mass! I haven’t felt that way in a long time…It doesn’t feel like a chore anymore!”
