My 3 little cousins were baptized today. "Triggered" is kind of a strong word but being in a catholic church again... I'm a little fragile rn ngl.
#butch speaks
#it was hard not to shake as i held J over the basin to have the water poured on his head
#when he was cleansed of sin. as if a little kid could ever knowly or intentionally offend a so-called loving god
#the words came naturally to me
#but they meant nothing
#i remember when they used to mean something. when i begged gods forgiveness for my sin (being a lesbian) and tried to pray the gay away
#i remember how much i wanted to die bc i could never truly embrace the sacred
#i STILL deal with the complex of catholic guilt. its a very real thing. its hard to shake
#i cant help but wonder if the catholicism ingrained in my brain is why i have a hard time with casual dating n sex
#fun fact: there was a point when i was a teen that i got REALLY catholic
#i prayed everyday. i talked to my patrin saint (st agnes) every day. i wantsd to become a nun
#the thought of marrying a man mad me more sad than feeling like an alien did. so id marry the church as a nun.
#not the way to hide being a dyke when ur fam is catholic btw LMAO
#the first priest i knew was father joe. i loved that guy. he was so kind. friendly. briming with love.
#he was one of my biggest references for what a good person was like
#he talked about gods love a lot. how its for everyone. no one is exluded. ever.
#he used to look right at me when he said stuff like that. a few other kids too. all of whom grew up to be queer
#then father joe passed away. our church merged with another church. father jeff was the priest there.
#he was kind but not as kind. he talked about hell and sin more. he looked at the same kids father joe did.
#but the kindness in his eyes wasnt there.
#that wasnt for us.
#my family wasnt even THAT catholic
#i went to church every sunday i did vacation bible school and catechism classes and youth group
#i was an altar servant and in the choir
#i even used to speak/understand a little latin
#imagine how much worse id have been if my mom could have afforded catholic school lmao
#grateful to have grown up poor in that regard
#hm. actually... reading my own tags. mayne we were pretty catholic actually.
#fucking hell.
#i need to have lesbian sex in a church before god and everyone. mayeb that would fix me.
