Ye Of Little Faith

Any pronouns Side blog Psalm 27:1 NIV

[doubting-devotion]

Hi all!! A little bit about me…

You can call me Swan

28, lesbian

white, indigenous, chicana

Questioning (ex)?? cradle Catholic, agnostic??? dabbled in pagan/neo-pagan traditions.

pro-Indigenous, pro-Palestine, queer-affirming (side A), trans-affirming, anti-racist, pro-choice, anti-colonialism

My primarily motivation for creating this side blog was to have an outlet to explore my spirituality and faith. I never thought I’d return to any formalized religion (and I still might not!), however I am interested in exploring this part of myself and whatever may come from it.

I’m just starting to reconnect to aspects of my childhood faith whilst also exploring folk Catholicism, liberation theology, progressive veins of Christianity, so forth.

My username refers to how I view myself. I am someone who doubts tremendously yet I find myself drawn again and again to my quivering faith. I feel devotion bubbling within me and I long to set it down where I feel it is right for me. Right now, that is leaning towards Christianity but who knows?

Thanks for reading! <3

I don’t know where Evangelicals are getting the “We are so unworthy of Gods love. It’s so hard to love us” narrative but hear me when I say:

Whether you are Christian, Atheist, Pagan, or something else entirely. Whether you read the Bible every night or you curse out God every night. Whether you think you are a good person or not.

God finds it easy to love you. It is never a challenge. He didn’t create you because it’s a chore but because he wanted your soul to leave its lasting mark on the world. A God doesn’t find it difficult to love you because he MADE you easy to love. You are beautifully and wonderfully made.

THAT is scripture. THAT is a God of unending love.

Begging Christians to either stop being weird about sex or get way weirded. Like either sexualize Christ and drink from the side wound or chill tf out.

"catholics cant be misogynistic because we love Mary so much!!!!!" no actually you can because you use Mary as a device to teach women that their oppression should be holy by painting the Virgin to be that of a dainty housewife thats quiet easy and submissive instead of the meek and powerful QUEEN she is. you dont love the Blessed Mother and the female Saints you love making excuses to belittle women in a religion thats yelling in your face to do the opposite.

I would love to fall in love with a girl at church. Pray on one rosary together, and when we get to the end kiss. Borrow each other veils. Run around with incense sticks instead of perfume. Pray together before bed, in each others arms. Say ‘good morning God’ and then ‘Good morning baby’ when we wake up. Talk over the Bible together. Just be two Catholic girls in love.

our lady of sorrows

[ohholydyke]

Remember when Pope Francis said faggotry and then had to apologize for it

AND THEN he got caught saying it AGAIN and had to apologize a second time

And then it turned out the word he was using was specifically a word that’s intercommunal gay Italian slang

And since he’s Argentinian that means someone had to have taught him that word

And he had to have been comfortable enough with it and its contexts to use it not once but twice in official closed door meetings as pope

RIP king one of the funniest things you’ve done tf do you mean there’s an air of faggotry in Rome of course there is, fork found in kitchen
