The only thing stopping peace, is man.
If the Vatican and Freemasonry allowed more females at the decision table, they would have been shoulder to shoulder out there taking care of communities - feeding - housing - caring for the disabled and elderly, with combined forces and people power...a long time ago. We might have been able to avoid some crises in this country and beyond, rather than alphabet agencies having to manipulate the sides to get things done.
I'm sorry - but reading all these past articles and trying to figure out these insane mazes because of all the cloak and dagger- I see a lot of wasted time, energy, money, and lives. Needless pain. I think about the various sides in my own family and knowing that tension and snide comments about faith and leanings,, why?
I won't say who but even my mom got pressure to call off the wedding and it wasn't from her side - as a kid I dealt with that, the anger and pain she held on to....there were times she'd refuse to go to a family event. I was the last kid home and dad's only child. She would keep me with her, and it was my dad's family I would miss holiday dinners at their home- over this stuff. It was yet another layer of tension to try to grow up in .
That mixed message is being sent by religion to children - "Peace but not that!"
Then as an adult who lived in a rural community filled with Masons, more than I realized at the time, I had people literally question me on why the church was evil, and how I wouldn't know what the Bible said because they thought we were not allowed to read it - actually insisted upon it and told me I was wrong when I said we did - St. Scholastica HS, Chicago - I remember it well when the Sister announced to hold on to our seats because we were going to read a book with the most scandal, miraculous miracles, and drama - more than our soap operas. You had to laugh and it caught a room full of freshman girls attention. Her approach worked. But, getting back to those people, when I stuck up for the Church, I was slapped with a twisted label of being Witch with the devil on my back.
I hold that Catholic upbringing close to my heart, the politics within the church, not so much. Looking into Freemasonry more than I have in the past - the mission is a strong one, but I think it should say Make Good People, Better -rather than just men.
No offense- but men haven't handled this battle too well- kinda reminds me of East Europe -
It's disgusting all the games this past century and seeing it play out in articles, documents, lives (including my own) and realizing its spilled into current events like it has - we have so much else to worry about, ya know? You don't have to like each other to let your children play together -
Didn't #MotherMary teach us anything?
I know people who consider themselves spiritualist AND Catholic but if they said that, they'd probably get the boot too.
I feel a pull to both, but I never would choose one over the other-it's like picking one set of grandparents over the others when you love both sets equally. One set would be Fr. Stanislaus Woywod's cousins- I know, ironic.
For me faith is in my heart and will remain so no matter if a church or a group accepts me or not - it doesn't change my heart and I need my heart intact as I am like y'all, flawed, and we all need all the help we can get.
It really is time. The world needs the example - and maybe I am so persistent about it because I could use a little hope myself. We have a mess to clean up to save our home planet and we are stronger together against those who cringe when you stand shoulder to shoulder.
Yeah - this DOES go deeper than most people even realize, you know it.
Hail Mary Full of Grace -Pray for us.
