I’m a somewhat observant catholic, I’ve been dealing with a lot of issues from fellow Catholics, including anti-lgbt statement from them
I’m now going under faith crisis, I have no idea what to do. I don’t wanna leave catholicism but at the same time I want to, The more I look at Catholics, the more I’m getting astray from Christianity especially when I saw someone celebrating a death of a “openly gay” person. and that really disgusts me when I read it, the amount of hatred (some) Catholics have towards the LGTBQ+ community is really staggering to me, also I don’t feel safe with some of my Catholic friends I have. And seems like they kinda of hateful against anyone disagree with their political beliefs, or even religion sometimes
Now I don’t know what to do, either embracing agnosticism . Or just trapped in this religion forever,
I will appreciate for every advice or reply to me. I’m very happy that I find a place to post about issues I’m going through,
Perhaps it is time to reconstruct what faith means to you. Such as writing out what about Catholism you don’t want to lose/leave, and what parts deserve change.
Re-invent what it means to be a believer. You don’t have to change faith/denomination or become atheistic for it.
And perhaps, see how other christans (or other faiths) handle sensitive religio-politically charged issues, how they approach and treat people. Each community has it’s own version of common sense after all.
