AAAARRGGHH!!!
All right, people, I am mad. No, I'm not mad, I'm enraged. You know why? Because of an article in the Catholic Standard about the document on same-sex marriages. Turns out it's against them. I hate the way it's set up, though. It starts out saying marriage is about unity, compassion, love, etc., then it goes and says people can't marry if they can't have kids when they have sex. Since when, may I ask, has marriage been ENTIRELY ABOUT KIDS AND SEX??!!! Oh yeah, and what about infertile women or those past menopause? Can they not marry? Because that's basically the idea you're sending across here. I also still stand by my point that forbidding homosexuals to marry in the eyes of the Church is prejudice and restriction. Sometimes I just want to poke the eyes of damn Church right out! ARGH!
I have decided, though, quite calmly, that if various Catholics are going to be that way about same-sex marriages, I'm not getting Confirmed. I don't want to be a Catholic if this is the way they see things. I am totally and completely serious; this is not an empty threat. At any time I could go up to Fr. Tucker or Miss Smith or whoever and say, "I'm sorry, but there is a teaching of the Catholic Church that I very strongly disagree with. Could I ask not to be Confirmed?" When I'm Confirmed, it'll be like saying, "Yep, I'm a Catholic and I go by the Church and the Lord's teachings and I'm happy to belong to this faith." Well, I'm not too happy to belong to this faith right now. I believe wholly all the teachings of the Church except this one (and maybe the one about animals not having souls; it's a little too sad for me ;_;).
All I can hope right now is that when I'm an adult who people in charge will really take seriously (they brush off teens like flies in the "real world", ever noticed that? They also blame us for everything wrong in the world, us and terrorists), I won't just be sitting back and thinking, "Oh, I've got so many responsibilities, I think I'll let someone else run my beliefs now." Because I like this feeling of strong belief I have right now, this determination to make a difference.
And in ten minutes I'm going to go get some service hours in case the Church changes its mind.
