-the religion that exercise freewill even if with a history of manipulations, conspiracies & power-trips
and the only religion that recognizes the feminine divinity (in the symbology of Mama Mary)
despite a seemingly patriarchial structure and form
-the religion that made me question more...and more...and more...other religions just shove it down your bottom and asks you to shut up and repeat what they just taught.
-allows you to "evolve"by wondering off yet the doors are still open when you come back. it doesn't physically punish or condemn you when you make mistakes but makes you guilty and fearful for it...
-like a mother, hindi nagkulang sa pangaral even if sometimes baluktot ang pangaral pero alam mo para sa kabutihan mo rin yun. so it's up to you if you follow them or not...if madapa ka out of your stubborness, like a mother, it is there ever ready to forgive...all you do is acknowledge
-other religions are either too structured, too attached to culture, too loose, too wayward, too fanatic, too overzealous, too self-righteous...in short too EGO-istic...although may mapupulotka pa ring wisdom sa kanila and thus I respect other religions... however, Catholicism is just right for me... Catholics know they are not perfect and most are humble out of that insecurity..i like that mentality... devoid of ego...mas okay un kaysa sa mga religion who thinks that they are the only ones "saved"
- it's the only religion that evolves with human society...a flexible neccessity in a frigid reality form called religion... teachings are the same but the understanding and applications evolve...hehehe
-lastly, it's the religion that talks about PASSION...the passion of Christ, which is relived over and over and over again...I like to follow Christ's way of doing things out of love rather than fear...
So the main point why I say I am still a catholic and more?
Is because I am baptized as one and has never yet found another religion na puwedeng
higitan ung appreciation ko sa Catholicism as a religion (not the church...or organization of people ha)
Kase NAIINTINDIHAN KO ito and I only practice what I understand in my level of comprehension.
Blessings of love and light!
