I was born Catholic. But for some reasons, my relationship with my religion became low to almost null. With the political upheaval and the Catholic Bishops of the Philippines’ meddling with national politics, I started to lose my faith with Catholicism. Until I find myself not believing in faith anymore.
That’s when my spiritual self began to lose focus. I became so in love with love, I engaged myself intimately with people who I felt in connection with. But those feelings were really basal and without focus. God was not there in our decisions. God was not part of our relationship. I totally turned my back away from God.
Because of the hatred that I feel against the bishops, I tried looking for alternative religions. But I failed. My spiritual self continued to suffer and eventually, I felt incomplete. My life was pointless.
Then I had a eureka.
I am born Catholic. Hence, I am part of my Church. I do not have to exclude myself from the Church. I was raised by the Church. Therefore, I should hug it with both arms. There were the reasons why I came back to Catholicism. I am a Catholic, and I will live by my faith to the Mother Church, and to my God the Father, and to Jesus Christ, and to Mary, the Queen; I will raise my faith to the apostles and saints, and to the martyrs, and to the Holy Spirit.
I went back to reading the Bible. But I still am not narrow. I’m a gay Bible reader.
