Hell, I had never heard of it til it was diagnosed, and didn't really know much about it til recently. I used to just tell people I was borderline narcoleptic - that's basically how my doctor had described it to me when I was diagnosed, and at least people have heard of that. Now, I at least try to explain a little bit, if I choose to talk about it at all.

That is why it is good to have different communities for people who suffers the same fate.

I read another interesting article in the Washington Post this morning about how the Pope, in his previous position, headed the office that was once called The Inquisition, and many were hoping he'd crack down like this sooner in his reign. Others, though, wish he would concentrate more on trying to refill the pews.<br /><br />And as far as your PS, I agree with that as well. I've never not had faith. Yes, it has wavered at times, but whose hasn't. But its always been there. The issues I have are definitely with the organized part, not with the personal part. But you just said it better, as usual :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478986973319653292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9449241.post-76293957108435095412012-04-22T20:28:42.085-04:002012-04-22T20:28:42.085-04:00Rebecca,

Your words really brought to light in my mind the true difference between priests and nuns. <br /><br />In my lifetime, Pope John Paul II is the standard of priesthood and an iconic symbol of the Catholic Church. As benevolent, loving, and charming and Pope John Paul II was, my mental image of him will always be one of him surrounded by the ornateness and, for lack of a better word, wealth of the Vatican. <br /><br />By contrast, in my lifetime, the equivalent standard for nuns is Mother Teresa. My image of her will always be that of her throwing out the carpeting of her office area in Calcutta. Her reasoning? If she was going to serve the poor, she needed to properly relate to their plight. Her works were the true epitome of what the Church is supposed to be. <br /><br />Jesus challenged the status quo of His time, preaching forgiveness and compassion in a time of brutal punishment for the smallest of crimes (i.e. cutting off the hands of thieves). I believe these same Nuns that have been publicly scolded by Rome are doing the same thing; challenging us to think outside the same, narrow parameters imposed on us by mostly old, white men in pointy hats. <br /><br />I, too, will be following this story, and I, too, will be rooting for the women who are making a difference in this world (as opposed to the men who are just making noise). <br /><br />P.S. As for your personal journey, I believe you are, like most people, experiencing a crisis of church and not a crisis of faith. You will find what you're looking for. All you need to do is ask Him to continue to show you the way.danaCreativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07808232310564681729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9449241.post-19204920567706097392012-01-16T00:01:47.475-05:002012-01-16T00:01:47.475-05:00check this out....

But, I've come to realize that you can't fix a lot of things (even when we have the illusion that we can) and sometimes, we just have to step back and watch, even if it means letting things crash. Hard to do, I know. Deep breath. The world will not float away if you let go. Promise.JrzyGyrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15434600379817833089noreply@blogger.com
