If more people were like Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, I’d consider adding religion back to my life, the problem is they’re more like JD Vance who embodies the spirit of a 4yo being ignored by his combination wife/mom.

I’m in a toxic relationship with my Catholicism. It keeps telling me I am too naughty to be a Christian and I keep showing it my privates. We do hangout sometimes and have a shared sip of sacramental wine toast for the good ol' times.
Raised Catholic, turned atheist, identified as a non-theistic satanist for a bit. I've returned to Jesus. Remember, Jesus preached to us in parable, reserving the deepest teachings for his disciples. So if what you were taught sounds phony and dumb, just know there's a lot more there to uncover.
I'm a recovering Catholic and I agree! When I attended mass recently because of a family religious ceremony, I was sickened by the right wing propaganda that was being preached. I honestly felt like standing up and walking out, but I didn't want to embarrass my family members.
I maintain my Catholic faith, but totally get why people are walking away.
The recent USCCB's recent statement is corrupted.
It is not pastoral. It is not encouraging peace. It is not right.
They are so few that when one actually speaks out against trump it is news for days. Trump owns conservative Christians and most of the other Christians won't even stand up to their fellow Christians about their spiritual failure. They just tell everyone else that they are fake Christians.
My only experiences with organized religion have been less than stellar and really highlighted the worst of humanity. I believe in everyone’s right to choose and can see the value of it for some, but it’s not for me. I believe in spirituality and the universe but too many people hide being
We’re out there. It’s easy to forget that the loudest voices are the bigoted “Christianists” who use religion to justify their own hatred. But the humble folks who are trying to improve their corner of the world do exist, if you look for them
Extremists in the American Roman Catholic Church are central to everything that's afoot. Leonard Leo ("the Leo Court" :: SCOTUS), the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025....even if I wanted to go back, I would never simply for those associations.
That’s my only problem with it.
I support everyone’s right to choose, I just wish if they’d choose to identify in a certain way that they actually practice that identity instead of using it to be cruel.
This may seem odd but I've been thinking more about religion myself lately not so much as I see many signs of goodness but I notice what I believe to be evil and realized there must be a side of goodness whatever form that takes
I worked with a very disturbed fellow beat his wife and was a deranged maniac but he went to church ⛪️ ,my Mom is a churchgoer and helps anyone in need and donates every dollar She can to many agencies and people in need
Yes - I was raised catholic and participated in religion in other various ways and I’m sorry but until it’s reformed as a whole, I don’t support it. It’s causes a lot of irreparable harm to many. (I do support others choice to participate)
Hmm honestly the nicest people I’ve been around in a religious context seemed to have been those who practice Judaism. Catholics and Christian’s seem to hate everyone and want to see others hurt.

God doesn't want pomp and show. That I DO know.
God wants compassion and companionship.
The USCCB should be ashamed of the hatred of trans people that they are stoking.
I say that as a Catholic.
Complete condemnation to them for that.
If you need god to be good…
You’re an asshole.
