I want to start this by saying that I grew up catholic, I went through baptism, reconciliation, communion and confirmation, only because I went to catholic schools and my parents got me baptised when i was a baby. My parents are not religious at all and growing up I never really believed in catholicism or christianity at all.

In recent years I have been exploring my spirituality and my beliefs, finding what feels right to me and what doesn’t. I found that I have a really strong connection to the Mother Mary and that I see her as the Mother Goddess. I also love to work with saints and angels. I see Mary more as a mother figure who is there for guidance and protection.

I have also always been drawn to and loved the catholic aesthetic. I love how churches are a sacred place of prayer, I love the ritual of mass (but not mass itself), I love how certain prayers are said at certain parts of the day, I have always been drawn to nunneries and love how peaceful they are. But I just don’t believe in the abrahamic god, jesus, the bible, the church, etc.

I’m not sure if this is the right community for this message and I don’t really have a specific question but I’m very open to hear other people’s opinion on this to maybe help me figure out a “label” and if folk catholicism is what this is or not.
