I HAD NO other choice because the Church shut me out of every vocation that a heterosexual person could have. The church leaves us out to rot away and die alone and even then our memory is disrespected.
Your priest gave up sex for the rest of his life for you. So did your bishop. So did your pope. These men need to be respected and thanked.
So grateful to be Catholic.
Me going to an Eastern Catholic Church: I have found an antidote to the legalism of the Western Church. I may have to learn a new way of worshiping but I’ll be with Jesus still 🥰
The priest: Pray for the destruction of Antifa, Black Lives Matter.
Me: Okay…🥲
The Catholic Church fails especially queer people by this type of double speak. Also queer people are barred from entering seminary and religious life therefore making ordinary vocations and Christian life impossible.
This is what happens when you have a theology that takes a religion into a practice that can be healing and redemptive and turn it into a fertility sex cult.
Hello everyone. My name is Jay and as of today it has been one week since I left the traditional Catholic world. Life feels different now. I am working on rebuilding my faith and relearning Catholicism.
Listen up side b gay Catholics. This is how they really feel about you. To them you are a stain and a curse on the earth. If you want to give your time and life to the Church be my guest but I’m done with it all.
Today is the Feast of St. Dymphna, the patron saint of mental health. Let us embrace compassion, understanding, and support for those battling mental health conditions. Together, we can create a world of acceptance and opportunity for healing.

When I say the Catholic Church is often a dead end for single people I’m not just talking about queer people but also heterosexual people who don’t feel/ can’t pursue marriage or religious life. Thus creating a toxic mentality against single people in the Church.
Two years ago I bought this card at Westminsters Abbey. I was also filled with guilt at having contributed to the apostate Anglican Church 🙃 In fact I was so scrupulous that whole trip worrying if I was bringing glory to God at every moment.
When I was Side B I wasn’t excited about life. There was nothing to look forward to that was of my own making. Now that I’ve stepped away from those beliefs I feel excited about living again and creating new things.
Why does Catholic twitter like to get into fights over the stupidest s****? Legos, kids, chaplets? Build LEGO sets, have many beautiful children, and pray the Divine Mercy chaplet!
Viva Cristo Rey! Christendom unveiled its new botafumeiro this afternoon as part of the college’s Summer Consortium event. The botafumeiro, which is the largest in the world, will be used for select liturgical celebrations throughout the year, celebrating Christ our King. 👑
Stepped into a Catholic Church for the first time in months. There wasn’t mass but I wanted to see how I felt. I sat for a moment and took in the silence and prayed.

BREAKING: Pope Francis has expressed openness to Catholic blessings for same-sex couples, under the condition they are not confused with marriage ceremonies for men and women, in what could be a watershed moment for the global Catholic Church.
Went to church this morning for the first time in months. It was much needed comfort and an open invitation to the mystery of the Trinity without getting bogged down in too much theological terms.
So…despite leaving the SSPX I find myself running into their world with my research late 19th and early 20th century Catholicism. Also this is my first time looking at scholarly research into the claims of Pius X about modernism and let’s just say a boogeyman was created.
I found out that one of the guys I went to SSPX chapel with went back to orthodoxy after the church approved same sex blessings. Just shows you that many of these converts aren’t in it for Jesus but for based memes and justifying their politics.
On this day two years ago I had my first panic attack at church. It was during an eastern Catholic liturgy and the priest turned around and told my side of the room that we weren’t praying hard enough. Not something to tell someone who was having a bad time spiritually.
@KeytarCatholic
Father, I deconstructed to refocus my views after being lost in the culture war and politics that replaced God in my church circle. Slowly I am finding my way back but I pray this is not how you speak to people seeking God.
I think I'm over my Catholicism and my wounds. I'm ready to move on with life.
(see's my shoes and see that they have scuff marks on the tips when I used to kneel and genuflect.)

Me in middle school:
I’m not gay. I literally have posters of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna on my wall because they’re cute like wtf???
Today a year ago exactly I parted ways with traditional Catholicism and the SSPX. I’ve learned a lot in one year about who I am and what I believe. I’m also happy to see so many people have stood by me even if we don’t agree on everything. 1/4
Post Trent devotionals be like: you are so sick and disgusting from the moment you were born. Jesus is angry at you and you cause him pain and suffering just by existing. Mary is the road to salvation.
Maybe a hardcore intellectual spirituality was never supposed to be my path to God. Maybe I was always supposed to be wrapped up in mystery and a weirdo but still faithful.

2) It is against natural law, divine law, and ecclesiastical law to remove a bishop without just cause and correct legal procedure; it is, moreover, demanded of a bishop that he protect his sheep from wolves. See:
There are so many questions, so many things to learn, and unlearn that will just be a one step at a time thing. Prayers would be appreciated. Thank you.
Me seeing saints and mystics: You know what I think I can vibe with them. We can be weirdos together and discover the unlimitless God together.
