Ladies can you please pray for me . I am having again such attacks , at first I thought faith but no , I beleive what I beleive and if it is not on His path I always know/ believe I will be shown the proper direction . This is the , your not good enough catholic / christian junk . A crisis of religion .
Some of you who know me well , know this is my struggle . some of my core beliefs contradict that of Rome etc. issues of hieracry , culture/religion , abuse in our catholic church family etc.
I know I will always have this burden , this is my spiritual torment I do take some relief in the lives of such saints as ST.Paul , Mother Teresa etc. but it feels like that stinky 4 letter word I will not say outloud 
in my world here it is not cool to be catholic yet also in some catholic circles I am not catholic enough !
I have lost friends on fb because of this I know which of course were not close friends anyway but it hurts .
I mean one person who I am not living up thier catholic standards has her children play rockband singing areosmith songs which some may not think very catholic behaviour ( not me ) but anyway the point is who knows who on earth is truely perfect catholic except it is Jesus himself & Momma Mary but honestly there is a big difference between when the soul & person are in extreme danger and nitpicking at the little faults within us all ! I can't stand stereotypes and assumptions
this is how satan works , eats at you feeding the your not good enough diesese and even if pyscologically we know , intellectually this is not true , it takes much healing to actually believe it .
I know I am babling on . just needed to get this out .
please please pray
Thank You

I really do understand your plight in more ways than I can admit. The only thing that has really worked was to just let go of the assumptions that I should be a certain way, and allow God to meet me where I am at, because He still loves me. To also allow Him to give me the grace that I need to overcome my own shortcomings.
I don't think we were ever made to feel catholic enough. 
I will say a prayer for you. Sending a cyber hug.

Praying Roxie - it is so comforting to know and believe that whatever it is, everything passes and love wins.
