Today
I´m going to talk about the Pope´s visit to Chile on this January, a point has
caused controversy this last months. Well, talk about this result a little difficult
to me because it is causing controversy on me and mi private life… I´m going to
tell you.
My
family -actually my mom, especially her and her parents and brothers (and
sisters) - are very catholic, or unless their use to be, now my mom just consider
herself like a catholic person but she doesn’t go to the church or anything
like that. Anyway, the fact is that I also use to considered myself like a catholic
person, actually I use to participate on a pastoral and young people group, but
recently I decided be sincere with myself and thought that in the reality I
don´t believe on the catholic postulates, I´m also so angry with the catholic institution,
with all the abuses, with the power they have, and a lot stuff that make me reconsider
the religion thing and think that actually I´m not a catholic person… I don´t
want to be one and be accomplice to these abuses.

Well, in this way, I´m feel pressure to go to the pope´s activities for my family and my catholic past, but I also think that I don´t want to go and be accomplice again, thinking about the all money that the country are spending on this visit, and also because we are supposedly a secular state. And also I have to recognise that It´s seem not at all interesting to me.
Wow I like very much this post.
ResponderEliminarIs very difficult to get rid of the beliefs that the family imposes.
The catholic church is horrible.
Your personal story is very important because it can be similar to the story of our generation and its relation with church. In another blog a classmate said the Pope's visit is more interesting to non catholic persons than catholic, sounds like your case.
ResponderEliminarMy family is also Catholic, sometimes it is difficult to reach agreements on certain issues
ResponderEliminarMy mom y catholic too and actively participates in the charities of the our neighborhood (Población la Pincoya), I think that it is positive. Obviously she will go to see the Pope xd
ResponderEliminarI hate John Paul II but not this Pope
