“The Church is a whore, but she is my mother.” ~ St. Augustine
For Christmas, my parents give me a year’s subscription to Netflix. The main reason they give me this is because I do not have cable and this allows me the ability to watch something on my computer by streaming movies over the internet. Yeah, I do get a movie by mail, but that was not the main reason for this present. The reason I bring this up is I am sitting here streaming a documentary called “Lord, Save Us from Your Followers” and one of the individuals interviewed in the movie mentioned the above quote by St. Augustine. This quote got me thinking about the Church’s current state as well as how this relates to being gay and Catholic.

Here is my attempt to share one of my internal conflicts. More will follow in the next few weeks.
If you have been reading my blog on a regular base for the last few months, you will have read that I attended an anxiety and depression group. This group has since been cancelled, so I now meet with the psychologist that was suppose to run this group on a one-on-one base. During the last meeting, I came to realize that one of the biggest obstacles in living the life I want to live is dealing with the conflicts in my life. What I mean by this is it seems that there are two sides in my life to several important issues and I have not yet concluded on which side I want to be. Sometimes it is one side, other times the other side seems to be winning.
