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,

    You can have your faith and still denounce bigotry and intolerance. Leaving Catholicism doesn’t mean you’ve lost faith in your God, it just means you’ve lost faith in a group of people and their ideals.

    Obviously this group is about atheism so you’ll not get many comments here encouraging you to stay Catholic. You sound like you have a moral compass. Don’t concern yourself with what the ignorant Catholics around you say and do, just be a good human and spread love and acceptance not hate and intolerance. What would Jesus do?
