still thinking about meeting with my bestie today
#convo with my bestie today really got me thinking about my relationship with catholicism#and honestly how much of my practice of catholicism is a form of rebellion#i see it as rebellion to be totally queer—to be someone many catholics are still intolerant of#and yet to be an active and accepted member of the community and allowed to participate in ritual acts and traditions#in a way the sheer majority of people don’t get to#i guess i should owe it to the liberality of my community—the first priest i came out to was literally like. shrug. okay and?#which was SOOO fucking healing as a deeply closeted teen#my queerness has never once discounted me from doing any work at my parish and in my present work#i literally get random people coming up to me telling me how good i am at what i do#sure obviously not everyone there knows i’m queer but does that matter?#a queer person is a respected and valued participant in sacred traditions#my existence and my thriving in what i do is an act of rebellion even from within.
