Hang in there sister. Pray for discernment.
The type of elitist mentality that's found within in the LC reminds me of what traditions tell of a younger Mohammed.
The story goes that the Mohammed of the Islamic faith had an angelic visitation and received a religious epiphany of some sort. His first impulse was to travel to Jerusalem and seek recognition from the Jews as a true prophet of God. Basically the tradition states that Mohammed was literally laughed out of the city by the Jewish leaders and since that time has held a deep hatred and resentment for the Jews. In retaliation he ended created his very own religion.
