Skojec’s article is good. His whole internal struggle is very similar to mine, though we reach different conclusions. I sympathize with him and admire his ability to articulate something so personal.

LuckyCat posted:I think the popes have only exercised their infallibility ex cathedra twice. Both were Marian doctrines: the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption. Yeah, that would be accurate. That's one of the bones of contention the article has, they don't think that's legit enough, essentially. I chalk it up to a "This Saying is Hard", and it's not for me to understand. The Catholic Church has had plenty of bad Popes in its past, even ones we put on trial after they were dead. But I can certainly understand scandal in the Church causing people to leave the faith. I don't think it's the proper response, but I understand it.

Well done to walk so far, Thirteen Orphans; is this a case where it is a final statement, or would you be able to return in a few years if your health improves?HopperUK posted:I'm truly glad that you're finding meaning in your suffering and pain. But as someone currently suffering loss of vision, I have reservations about this line of thinking. I don't think 'everything happens for a reason' is actually true at all. I'm losing my eyesight because of a quirk of genetics and bad luck. It doesn't mean anything. NikkolasKing posted:This might sound silly but this was the first year approaching Christmas when my mind wasn't really drawn to that gnawing hunger for religion that besets me every now and then but always inevitably hits me around this time. The silly part is as I was perfectly content with things, I heard a cat meowing outside. The one thing I asked from my GF for Christmas was a new pet. She was reluctant and I don't think she was gonna get me one. But back to my story. I went looking for the meowing cat and he followed me home and now I have a cat again. I even have money to actually feed and take care of him properly.

Thanks all.  Fritz the Horse posted:Be well! You'll find other ways to support the Church I'm sure They’re too far away to volunteer, and it would be kind of awkward, anyway. Nessus posted:Well done to walk so far, Thirteen Orphans; is this a case where it is a final statement, or would you be able to return in a few years if your health improves? It’s final. Ironically they thought my health was really good now, they were concerned about it deteriorating.

He does not like to stay still and look at me for pics so this was the first one I could get which I kinda like. As for a name, I'm terrible with names... I might ask some of my friends to help name him.

Or is this a "You are not cut out for monasteries, end of story? I definitely have other options. It’s something to think about as I go forward. Right now I still feel like garbage, though, so it’s hard to think about the future as I still feel so raw inside. I know all this doesn’t mean I’m a bad person but it still feels like I got punched in the gut, it’s still fresh.

That is such a weird thing to do. I didn't go to Christmas Eve or Christmas Day services as omicron has been blowing up in my formerly covid-free city and I was seeing relatives today who had underlying conditions/are elderly and didn't want to risk picking anything up (also covid would probably beat my rear end too, I'm fully vaxxed but have a few underlying conditions). It was a shame to miss being there in person, but my church introduced livestreaming services when the pandemic kicked off, so I'm glad there was at least that option.

Merry Christmas! The priest at Mass today actually sang the Eucharistic Prayer, which I had never heard before and which was incredibly lovely; it was the same composer as the other service music. And the boys were excellently well-behaved.
