its been hard but i went back and reread some of my own writing on the subject(s) and god damn i am good. i love being catholic, i love being queer, i love being pro-choice. all of those are intrinsically connected by my love for women.

#1 mary in particular and all of us made in the image of God #2 women in general because they are pretty #3 and finally women as full active human beings with intrinsic rights as fully deserving citizens and decision-makers in their own future #i get it. i get the conflict #actually i don't think there's much of a conflict between the first two at least not anymore #no one can ever convince me against that again ever since like five years ago when ive decided that im perfect the way i am n God loves me #but i have been...confused lately about the first and the last #confusing just because. im in theology school. and we don't talk about That like That but. it's just hard you know #which may be shocking because abortion is my THING #i LOVE abortion i have volunteered at a CLINIC as mentioned i have written EXTENSIVELY in defense of it #and yet the intrinsic beauty of God found in all creatures from largest to smallest has started to get to me #but all it took was rereading my own work-in-progress treatise and the banging arguments i have already made to remember #that we cannot #and must not #erase the dignity and beauty and freedom and intrinsic creative power of women #for any cause #for any reason #and it's hard it's always hard #but i reaffirm my stance to all of you and to myself #that God wants women to thrive #i really believe He does #and i can't bear to worship a God that cares so little for women that He would reject the very rights and dignity that He infused us with #in the first place #and others may disagree #today is the feast of the holy innocents and of course many people have made certain posts about it #and yeah i get it and that's what i mean when i say its hard it's always hard #but the God that i love knows.#He knows.#He knows it's hard.#and He loves us anyway.
