I found another queer person in my Catholic group!!! I’m so beyond happy
Update: that person is now my partner (we’ve been dating for over a year), have found multiple other queer Catholics together, and have somehow become their unofficial big sisters??

why are all the actual real human jobs like baker and florist and childcare worker barely paying livable wages but the fake jobs like ai specialist boot licker or marketing campaign dick sucker making six figures
I was having a conversation with @/eucatastrophicblues the other day and I think one of us, or both us, brought up how the Catholic church in America feels very...Protestant. Not in liturgy or teachings, but it's vibe that I've been sensing, especially since I've been digging into the Catholic tradition again. Websites like Catholic Answers and prominent American Catholic figures like Bishop Robert Barron, while teaching Catholic values and traditions, seem to look appearance wise more Protestants. They seem more interested in fighting this culture war invented by the conservative evangelicals than actual social evils in this country. There is less emphasis on taking holy orders or entering the priesthood. Little mention of mystical experiences. Eucharistic adoration is something the older people do. And then, I think about the opening ceremony for the Olympics debacle last year where Christians were upset about the French being, well, French. They saw a performance depicting the 'Feast of the Gods' and since their only of reference for people posing around a table is the Last Supper, assuming the performers were mocking Jesus. Bishop Robert Barron took part of that, and it's just so embarassing to know that normally ration people, including a bishop, hopped on board with it. Not only that, we have Catholics, including Barron and Catholic Answers contributor Scott Horn, eulogizing Charlie Kirk, and calling him a 'good' and 'passionate' Christian, disregarding his racism, sexism, and promotion of gun violence. We don't have church fairs, we don't have processions, we don't wear veils. I think the Catholic church in America needs to be unafraid to be weird again. It's been colonized by evangelical Protestants and I think that is going to be a huge problem for the Church when it stops being a trend among MAGA white dudes.
The Gospel clearly states and bluntly illustrates that in history, God takes sides. God takes sides, not in terms of being against, but in terms of suffering with the poor, the oppressed, those unjustly treated. The suffering of God is a consequence of God's taking sides. This presence with the poor is unconditional.

Muslims popped off with “inshallah” and prayer rugs and I hold great admiration and respect for them for both of those things
lol this is me. I once asked my favorite priest friend if it was okay to say inshallah instead of ojalá because it just feels heavier.

Listen to me
Books and theory and journaling and podcasts and learning are all well and good and valuable
But at some point you need to get out there and start forming a relationship with God.
Put down the text and go talk. Go spend time with the divine. Go breathe the breath of life. Go love. Go care for your neighbor. Go create art. Sit in silence. Sit in silence some more. Keep sitting until you feel God with you. Then stay there until the moment passes. Treat God as you treat a friend. You can’t form a relationship by reading someone’s LinkedIn or by stalking their social media pages. At some point you gotta invite them for a drink or just say hi to them on your commute or just sit and wait for them to come by.
god help me be servant even through hurt ego and heavy heartache
queerness has made me a better Catholic because we tend to think we’re the best christians (which tends to translate into the best, most perfect people) so one of my worst flaws is judging others and looking down on them. queerness is a constant reminder that no, I am no better than literally anyone else in this world and even then I am not any less loved.

I am so sick of wanting to be loved, always. I hate this animal inside of me that is so hungry and so desperate and so selfish.

See the thing about fundamentalists and trads and Christian nationalists and MAGA evangelicals and ethnocratic bigots is that they render the faith so boring.
I take no issue with the fact that they would look at me and say that I’m not a member of the faithful because their faith is radically, inherently, ontologically distinct from mine. My God is too big and too loving and too esoteric to fit neatly into the gendered understanding of an authoritarian white father disciplining his children for not perfectly falling into lockstep. My Savior is the man who told the religious leaders “Caesar can have his idolatrous blood money, but give God your heart and your faith,” challenging the notion of an earthly ruler. My apostles wrote of the throne of man being empty—there are no masters or kings or governments, there is only Jesus Christ, Basileus Basileōn, king of kings. I believe in radical oneness with God through Christ—one flesh and one body, biblical marriage with the bridegroom whose flesh and blood make up the holy Eucharist. My faith is Queer, ancestral, esoteric, anarchist, insurrectionary, anticolonial, antiracist, unorthodox, disruptive, free. When I encounter the divine, or pray to the saints, or sit in the chapel to pray, I am experiencing communion with the sublime, in every sense of the word, the same presence that made the apostles fall to their faces before the transfiguration, that shaped the world from void, that animates the deep care and rage which boil into every aspect of my being.
When conservatives tell me I am not a Christian it is only because they cannot conceive of a Christ and a faith so big, so all encompassing, so beyond anything our human minds can comprehend, and they cannot conceive being in tune with this divinity and being left senseless by the knowledge that the divine above all else is us and loves us more than we could ever comprehend, such that experiencing this love is enough to leave one fundamentally, ontologically changed down to the fiber of their being. I feel sorrow for them. I pray that Christ may reach into their hearts and open their eyes, that they may see not only the horrors that they commit but also the deep love and freedom that awaits them through abandoning their fundamentalism and their bigotry.
Or, in other words, me every time I see another conservative Christian whining about how people aren’t doing Christianity right because they don’t adhere to a super narrow and watered down version of the faith:
my priest last Sunday: I’m not a big fan of Paul. I don’t preach on Paul much. But sometimes he gets something right. You know, they say even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes.
