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 ❤️
There is a wonderful man who believes the current pope along with the men who elected him are not on God's side. Dr. Martin along with a sidekick. I thought I had saved the link, but I didn't figure out there was a side bar on my phone until I had been here for quit some time.
I joined a small Episcopal parish after the Catholic church refused my husband and I admittance unless we paid $3000 each for annulment of previous marriages. I loved the literary and found it at the small country parish we now attend. I later found out the hierarchy of my church were card carrying leftists right out of Berkley and after a considerable struggle decided to compartmentalize my parish from the greater church because its parishioners were good souls. That has been tested during this lockdown. The church seems to have left us out to dry.
