Life… What can be said but, wholly shit…
I will start at my own beginning and hope someone out there can gain clarity from the perspectives I’ve come away with by the skin of my teeth.
I came from a catholic background and by the grace of the only God I’ve ever known, I was released from its chains and bonds in the nick of time.
What an evil organization, can we all just take a moment to appreciate the hypocrisy of an industry that will spend billions on temples and shrines to vanity while allowing homelessness and hunger to run rampant while claiming anyone not a part of its cultic structure is going to go to hell?
I mean, I can understand the archaic structure being misunderstood for good, two hundred years ago due to a lack of connectedness, education, or even the ability to read worldwide, but now? There is no excuse to believe such a beast could house the essence of goodness.
Anything claiming sole ownership over Love, Truth, Divinity, and pearls of Wisdom that were freely given and meant to be freely received while ALSO claiming 10% tithing should be ashamed of itself. But pride knows no shame and I am quite certain at this point in my life that Catholicism is the face of it.
Let me start with this. I come from a family of eight children, we come from a long line of broken families that I see ending with my own parents’ efforts to seek the truth and find love in a world that showed them very little.
I watched my parents struggling to make ends meet, yet never failing to tithe each Sunday, even if it meant sacrificing as a family.
I watched a priest and spiritual director tell my parents (who both came from horribly broken and abusive households) that they needed to use corporal punishment on their children, which turned into a cycle of abuse that led to deep scarring and wounds that caused horrible rifts.
I watched the Catholic telling my parents they would pray for my parents while not offering support to a low-income family in need.
I watched the church punishing children (myself) and publically shaming them for asking sincere questions that challenge their beliefs while offering no good response.
I watched the church piecing out wisdom in doses, out of context, and allowing stagnancy toward spiritual growth because prayers from Catholics go unanswered. The God I know is a jealous God and will not allow something innately evil and useless to steal Its valor.
I watched the church act as a go-between for something that is internal to each of us and all around us.
I have scars on my arm from a sweet Sister of Christ who felt it was her duty to discipline me for not singing along to their cultic hymns that meant nothing to me.
And finally… I watched the Church close its doors on a beloved brother, weeping in front of the altar, lost, alone, and searching for God because it was nighttime and they had to lock up to protect their treasures… That night, my brother lost all hope and hung himself. The final nail was what released me from the idea that if I ever left I would go to hell.
This is war, and my intentions have shifted. I love humanity too deeply not to state my piece. I won’t die on this hill, if anyone reading this disagrees feel free but heaven be with you, and Godspeed on your journey, I chose to live free of its bondage while offering a fair warning to anyone searching for the truth. Please, dig deep before you jump into its collapsing paradox.
Read the Bible for yourself and see if you can spot the similarities between the beast system, the ten-horned beast of revelations, the whore of Babylon, the clay and iron feet of the final age, and catholicism, the health industry, pharmaceutical industries, current political structures (all sides), and psychological industries. The people operating inside these structures are as much victims of our times as those who are swallowed by them. These institutions as a whole are what we should be outraged against.
We fight not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and rulers in high places.
GOD isn’t dead, he is very much alive and breathes through everything living. But the catholic church and social structures of today are full of dead bones. Come back to life and experience the essence of life for yourself. Ask for the truth no matter what the cost, and see where Life takes you.
With all my love, I wish you to be blessed.
