i have my own very private and personal relationship with God but one thing that has really helped me feel a little more connected to my roots is having an oc like rené. exploring a character who is so dedicated and faithful, but struggles with his own identity and fear of rejection

do i have issues with catholicism? absolutely! so many! i don't go to church because i know my identity and my lifestyle are not accepted. but i have my own relationship to my faith and i don't think i need to abandon it altogether in order to feel fulfilled
