What thought provoking words. I left the church. I was born, baptized, and raised in the Roman Catholic faith and left for various reasons. I am a very spiritually driven individual and found the dogma of the catholic religion and church to be a challenge for me in so many ways when I questioned so much. I was told to never question. I was told that I wasn’t giving enough to my church. I was told they those whom I lived would go to hell because they weren’t part of the Catholic faith that I was baptized into.
Lots to say about this. But I’ll leave it at that.
So yes, church hurt is real.
I hug you as a sister in faith and a friend of the heart.

I’m sorry you’ve also had church pain. It’s truly a deep cut. Grateful for you, Josie.
