[QUOTE="Jdc732, post: 1559359, member: 24431"] Pretty timely article for me since I've been contemplating moving from the Boston area to the Southeast (Georgia or SC) once my daughter graduates high school in 1.5 years. I'm single and have never been able to connect with a solid Catholic community up here although, perhaps I haven't worked overly hard at it. Now that vaxx mandates are gaining steam in MA, my ability to find new jobs (assuming I don't stay in my current one until retirement) long-term will be difficult to impossible. Remote work offers options in regard to sidestepping the mandates but, with the high cost of living up here I say to myself often ,"why am I paying so much (taxes, inflated home prices, etc) to live in a politically and spiritually hostile area? Especially one that's freezing for 5 months a year?" Sure, these are mostly worldly concerns but, if there isn't a spiritual reason to stay in the midst of encroaching communism, why not move? Also, I'm not above believing that God directs our paths through practical, worldly purposes. [/QUOTE]
