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,
My wife is a lapsed Catholic, for many of the same reasons. The one thing that held her back from quitting entirely for a while was “mom would be sad”. But thankfully even my mother in law sees the problem with Catholicism these days and doesn’t begrudge anyone leaving.
If might help you to process this stuff to review the history of Catholicism in light of your journey. That probably won’t help with the social issues of leaving the church, but as John Green said, all of life is a history test.
