Catholic for 4 decades... feeling really lost right now.

Hi frens...I’ve been an active poster over in PW since the Donald days...but I feel like this post is more suited for the GaW crowd....I wonder if there are any other Catholics that can empathize with how I’m feeling right now, and can maybe offer some guidance... I was born and raised Catholic, and still practice—in fact, have been incredibly involved with the music ministry in my church for over a decade...it’s something that gives me great joy and peace to share with my parish family. But each day, I see more and more diocese announcing vax mandates with NO religious exemptions, and my heart just breaks. I find myself thinking that I might leave the only church I ever knew over this—and it’s really the only constant thing that I’ve had in my 41 years of life, so it’s a terrifying thought. But, how can entire dioceses turn their backs on, and abandon a central tenant of our faith SO easily, and so callously? If they can, it just doesn’t seem like it’s the right faith for me. For other Christian anons out there—maybe even some ex-Catholics—did you find a new faith home in a certain denomination, or did you feel most comfortable in a non-denominational setting? I’m not sure where to even begin to look. 😢

Thanks for reading, my friends ❤️

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. That’s tough to go through. It must be hard when you’ve seen a lot of good happen in a church then you see things change.

I recently heard someone talk apply questions of conscience to the vaccine situation. Romans 14; 1 Corinthians 8-10. The point was that there are churches that are making a law where there is no law. In some cases they may be violating the conscience of another by pushing or requiring vaccines.

1 Timothy 4:1-5 continues to happen where church’s abandon sound doctrine. My 2 cents is to look for a local church that teaches sound biblical doctrine without compromising the truth. Every church is going to have their quirks and traditions which we all have different opinions about so everyone is going to find something that isn’t their preferred flavor. Focus on the core truths and don’t sweat the small stuff.

FWIW, I’m a non-denom Christian or evangelical. I try to avoid thinking this denomination vs that denomination. It’s important to remember that within a single church there are wheat and tares. There are sheep and goats and wolves in any flock/denomination.
