Building a Community of Faith: Join me on my Journey.

One of the most beautiful aspects of faith is the sense of community it can foster. It’s the idea that we are not on our spiritual journey alone but are part of a larger family of believers. Today, I want to extend an invitation to all who visit this website to join us on our journey from Protestantism to Catholicism and help us build a vibrant and supportive community of faith. Whether you’re a…

Post written at 9h50AM, as I waited for the friar

I'm here. I came to talk to the friar and I'm freaking out a little bit.

It's weird, it feels like I'm a criminal. I'm literally trembling.

My points today are:

I have been a protestant for a long long time, but now I feel like I fell in a limbo between catholicism and protestantism. H E L P

Can I do the catechism to see if thats what I really want?

What about the spiritual gifts and stuff?

Missions

The purgatory!?!?!?!?!?

It feels so weird to be here :/ Even though I got happy when I scheduled it, I feel so worried.

Pray for me.

Navigating the Stresses of Changing Faith: A Personal and Spiritual Journey

Whether transitioning from one religious tradition to another or undergoing a more fundamental shift in one's beliefs, the journey of changing faith is deeply personal and can be accompanied by a complex set of stressors.

today I woke up feeling bad. I was the depressive kind of tired, the day was good, but it was hard to carry with it. I saw my boyfriend and we laughed a lot, really helped me.

What I'm here to tell is: I made an appointment to talk to a friar. Yes, that's it. I'm so so so happy. I'm going to explain to him my concerns and doubts, I'm SO happy. You guys have no idea of how happy this made me.

Shout out to my boy that took me to the church so I could do it. I'm SOOOOO happy!

guy who so desperately tries to find god. who wants to have faith in a higher authority to guide him out of the hole he's in. from the weight of guilt from simply existing, as the person he is. but every time he thinks he's answered his higher calling it turns out he's made the Morally Incorrect choice and his path to goodness and holiness was the road to the devil all along

Catholic guilt is a thing people joke about, but it’s so real and can be so painful to cope with, whether or not you’re still practicing. Combine that with America’s Protestant work ethic, and you’ve got quite a mess on your hands. So, for anyone who needs to hear this today:

It’s okay to rest.

It’s okay to nap.

It’s okay to go to bed early and wake up late.

It’s okay if you didn’t do chores today.

It’s okay if you half-assed your (home)work.

It’s okay if you were a little late sending our birthday, holiday, or thank-you cards.

It’s okay if you’re a little cringe.

It’s okay if you’re weird.

It’s okay if you mentally ill.

It’s okay if you’re disabled.

It’s okay if you’re queer.

It’s okay if you’re poor.

It’s okay if you’re struggling.

It’s okay if you don’t have a side hustle.

It’s okay if you maintain your hobbies as hobbies.

It’s okay if you don’t like your job or if you don’t like working at all.

It’s okay if you don’t want to conform to fit a mold that doesn’t fit you.

It’s okay if your goals and values don’t align with your parents’.

It’s okay if you don’t want kids.

It’s okay to be a pet or plant parent.

It’s okay if you have a found/chosen family.

It’s okay if you don’t speak to your relative(s).

It’s okay if you don’t speak to former friends.

It’s okay if you don’t believe in god(s).

It’s okay if you don’t believe in an afterlife.

It’s okay if you don’t want to celebrate the holiday(s).

It’s okay if you need to ask for help.

It's okay to not be okay.

It’s okay to want to be okay.

You deserve to be okay. ♥︎

Me Finding Out Protestants Outright Believe Praying for the Souls of the Departed is a Sin:

THIS WHY YOU GUYS GOT SO MANY GHOSTS

Y’all never thought that praying for people who have passed could be a good thing???? You think that’s a bad thing??? Bruh Purgatory fucking SUCKS and y’all just leaving people there with no epic anime friendship speech??? You leaving them there on their own????

…

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU GUYS DON’T BELIEVE IN PURGATORY?!

You think as you are now you can face God? If a meteor crashed directly into you right this second, you think you, in all your tumblr using sin can face God and not EXPLODE?!

Buddy if you can’t handle looking directly into the sun after getting your eyes dilated by the optometrist then you sure as pickles can’t handle looking directly at God without having a buffer

i was trying to think of what would be a fun april fool's bit, but all I could think was 'these are my two Lutheran cat OCs, Basco and Karambit' and now i can't stop thinking about this reverse world where instead of Renaissance Italians, they're two german mancats drinking beer and complaining about the inaccessibility of the bible to the common man.

the baroque period is so weird because you have the catholics reinforcing their ideology of austerity, tradition and chastity, and the protestants fucking and divorcing and making money, but meanwhile the catholics were making sexy exaggerated art about pleasures of the flesh and the prods were like. Here is a painting of a sad dude standing in a room

[agnesandhilda]

as far as christian-themed art goes I'm of the opinion that you cannot meaningfully appropriate mainline western catholicism (it's a massively powerful branch of a religion that has been spread by imperialism and that actively seeks out converts as a core tenet. how could you appropriate it?) but that it is possible to engage with it shallowly and that that's fair game to make fun of. I will not be taking questions at this time
