To the Church

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 7, 2009, 12:43 PM
:iconrurouna: :heart: :iconlonemoon89:

Since mom and I are having a discussion on this topic, and I NEED to get it out of my system, I hope you all don't mind a rant on this...

First off, I was born a christian and was raised catholic, but I swear if I went to church as I am today, they'd strap me down and to their best to perform an exorcism on me for my beliefs. I'm not going to go into them, because some of them are so far out there that I don't want to draw attention... But... Seriously. Here's the story-

My little cousin has celiac disease where it is IMPOSSIBLE for him to digest wheat. Soo.. No wafer during the mass because it would make him sick. Because of that, they shunned him, saying for him not to come back, yet still welcomed his parents and his sister with open arms, trying to get them to stay. He's only sixteen now, and has downsyndroom which makes him a very special little boy. If he didn't have downs, he would be a genius as many doctors said. My aunt said, and I agree with "It would be like us all gathering around a dinner table and having my son sit in a corner watching." He wouldn't participate in anything, and I said, he was shunned. For that reason, they left the church.

Well as of lately there have been many issues with Anthony's celiac disease where it has progressed into a type two, which is fatal. He can't digest any food he eats and is in severe pain all the time. Not even five minutes after he eats he is doubled over on the floor screaming and crying because he is in agony. He will die from this.

But only now, does the church actually go and say that they can use the 'non gluten' wafers in mass. WHAT THE HELL!? Just because the boy is DIEING you NOW make the exception? It's wrong, they are going to take the credit for bringing him back as well as the family. It's wrong, it's political, it's disgusting. This isn't for God or anything like that. Hell, if Jesus was there in the mass with Anthony where he would be in a corner by himself, with all they have said about him, he would leave the crowd and go sit with the boy. People aren't like they were and it makes me sick. They don't care about him, nor will they. It's all about them and their problems, not a boy who has more faith then the pope.

Even with all he's been and going through, he isn't angry at God like most of us would be. All he asks is for him to take away the pain. He asks if he has done anything wrong and if he can make it right. He isn't like us... he understands things they way they should be. He is more in touch with God and everything then any of us could only dream of.

My mom and I left the church due to our own reasons. What I don't understand is how people can be so 'holy' when it comes to sitting in a building for sixty minutes, go and fly out of the parkinglot and scream profanities as they do so, yet say that all their sins are forgiven. They're only like that in mass, but then when they leave they're a completely different person.

You should show God in how you act throughout the day and your life... Not how you go every weekend to a building and sit there or an hour.


Sorry to rant your ears off... But it needed to be said...
