It’s been a couple of years since I’ve written here. Many reasons none of which I currently feel like explaining. I plan on starting write more often, trying for a post a week right now. We’ll see. I do want to let you know that I started a GoFundMe since I’m currently unemployed and am … Continue reading Very Long Time, No Write and a Request
I wrote this last year and though it should be read again this year. It’s still pertinent. Lent is Coming. However, we are NOT called to be judge, jury, and executioner let alone act as God. We do not get to sit in judgement of others and how they live their Catholic faith and how … Continue reading Reblog: Lent is Coming
I’m honestly ready to leave the Church. The three priests at my current parish are hurting my faith and my spiritual life. One is a heretic and doesn’t follow the rubrics in saying Mass. One doesn’t follow the rubrics. The last one says speedy Masses, even on special occasions like Christmas, like time is more … Continue reading Priestly Problems 3.0 and One Foot Out the Door
Is full of bullies, liars, con artists, abusers, thieves, rapists, murderers, heretics, and apostates. And those are just the ones that consider themselves in good standing, that they are defending the Church by tearing down her clergy and laity, and that their selfish ideology is the true teaching of the Catholic Church. Many of these … Continue reading The Catholic Corner of the Internet
The last post shouldn’t have posted. That was a personal work through from a few weeks ago. I’m not sure how or why it posted because I didn’t post it. Continue reading Weird/Ignore Last Post
Things were actuary going well here and then the last two weeks have gone downhill. Today was the first time in several months that I hadn’t gone to Mass. I just couldn’t deal with people or priests that don’t follow the rubrics in celebrating the Mass or are borderline heretical. I just couldn’t do it. … Continue reading An Update
However, we are NOT called to be judge, jury, and executioner let alone act as God. We do not get to sit in judgement of others and how they live their Catholic faith and how they live Lent. We aren’t to pass judgement on those that don’t torture themselves in the name of God to … Continue reading Lent is Coming

I think one of the things with anxiety and depression is that even if you know your “triggers”/ things that cause you problems, are aware, and do what you can to mitigate them, you can still feel like you’ve been hit by a truck when they happen. My mother is one those problems. Granted, all … Continue reading Not Dealing
I finally made it to Sunday Mass yesterday. I went to my normal 11:30 am Mass. I wish I hadn’t. And I won’t be going back to that Mass ever again. My biggest, most pressing issue: rubrics or the way Mass is supposed to be said. It has been a few years since I’ve read … Continue reading Priestly Problems 2.0
The Christmas season is not a good holiday season for me. This year was particularly bad. I didn’t make it to Mass for the first and fourth Sundays of Advent. I did make it to Midnight Mass for Christmas though I felt numb and was ready to walk out of Mass. I didn’t make it … Continue reading Depression, the Most Wonderful Time of Year
I figure I should say upfront that I have not been sexually abused by a priest. And I have posted in the past my desire to leave the Catholic Church. I do pray for the victims every night. I pray an Our Father for their healing, that they have support, and that they receive justice. … Continue reading Priestly Problems

I’m reposting this blog post in light of current events. Especially since many people, many women, are throwing women who have suffered rape and abuse under the bus to support men who abuse women but are the same political party as they are. For example (these are fictitious though they may appear similar to real … Continue reading Rape is a Sin – A Repost
My mother texted me earlier today to tell me she had put money in my account. (My parents are helping me financially until I get a job.) Then she asks if I’ve got a job yet and then tells me that she’s slowly running out of money. Money is a huge anxiety trigger for me. … Continue reading Money and My Mother’s Lies
As soon as I feel lime I’ve got a grasp on social interaction and niceties, the rules change and I’m left learning a whole new way of doing things. I know I’ve always been socially inept but at least I’ve been able to fake it. Anymore I can’t even do that. I took out the … Continue reading Feeling Like an Idiot
I went on to YouTube last night and here was Josh’s latest song. The lyrics are powerful and kind of what I needed right now. Continue reading Josh Groban’s Latest-Granted
The title comes from the lyrics to Charlotte Martin’s song Veins. It feels like everything is just getting worse, that everything is going to come to a head and I will lose everything. It’s going to be bad. So a bit of a backtrack. I made it to Mass Sunday and sorely wished I hadn’t. … Continue reading Loyalty to Pain
I am so close to leaving the Catholic Church right now. It has nothing, and I mean nothing, to do with anything in the news. It’s just me. I can’t hack it anymore. Nothing seems to get better. I didn’t go to Mass today. It may have started out as trying to fix my sleep … Continue reading Ready to Walk Away
