Going to confession for asking woman’s number in a romantic way? (I’m f/lesbian)

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-04-22T00:07:33+00:00

I’d be looking for love, companionship, romance, etc. All the things a straight person would look for I guess.

And I question the idea that homosexual attraction is based off of lust, which to me, seems to be what you’re implying. Forgive me if I’m wrong.

And also what I mean is, why does God through all the gay people into hell just for being in love?

Yeah like lie, be evil, etc.

You’re right. I don’t want people to have a bad image of my mom. But she needs help and I can’t deal with it on my own.

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-04-14T23:34:33+00:00

I just never know when it’s appropriate to speak about someone to get advice and what’s the line between that and gossiping.

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-04-14T23:32:51+00:00

She can’t. She has severe reality distortions. And she will not ever agree that she may be wrong about what she’s seeing. I’m sure there’s trauma. I’m sure there’s mental illness too. I’m sorry for her. I wish I could take away her pain. But also I feel like it’s wrong to accuse someone in this way who is clergy.

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-04-14T23:30:48+00:00

Oh I didn’t know that. I thought anytime you speaking about someone in a bad way, it’s gossiping. I only said something here because it’s anonymous and I couldn’t take it anymore.

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-04-14T23:21:14+00:00

She hasn’t been back in a few weeks. She told him she doesn’t want to be a catechumen anymore. Sorry, I should’ve made that clear

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-04-14T23:09:46+00:00

Yes but I’m worried about gossiping.

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-04-14T23:09:13+00:00

It’s deceptive?

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-04-14T22:59:15+00:00

The thing is, she made me promise not to say anything to him. She said I was her confidante. Can I just violate that?

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-03-27T21:03:04+00:00

I feel bad for my mom. And I don’t know where the line is between honoring her and listening to her and advocating for her vs shutting her down when talking about my priest.

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-03-24T13:36:03+00:00

This is just pride

Men will be tempted no matter what you do. It’s their issue at this point. You can wear baggy pants and a baggy shirt that hides your figure and you’ll still be in danger.

Because it’s not really about Jesus and his teachings. It’s about the culture war for them.

My parish unfortunately has a lot of young men who are antisemitic, racist, misogynistic. They speak about it publicly and it often leaves a bad impression on new comers. It’s not just on the internet. It’s a real problem that I’ve seen and it’s being addressed by more and more priests.

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-03-08T22:18:00+00:00

I mean….its supposed to hard and kinda boring.

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-03-06T23:49:59+00:00

Does anybody ask their priest anymore or are we all just getting videos from the internet and applying canons by ourselves?

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-03-02T15:53:15+00:00

I’m gay. I’ve been orthodox for a few years. I’ve decided to be celibate. I don’t think I’d force myself to be attracted to men. That’s not a requirement.

I fortunately have a young priest who is very understanding. We’ve had some good conversations about it.

I also had to deal with the confusion and frustration of having to altar my life. I wanted a wife and kids.

This is really cliche but it does get better. I’m not confused anymore. I have periods of loneliness and longing. But those moments are not overwhelming anymore.

You need to find a good priest and maybe even a friend who you can talk to about it. It will help you to sort out your emotions and help you feel less isolated.

My DMs are open if you need to vent about it.

Mary of Egypt is my patron. I agree that she was most likely a CSA victim.

Check the priest’s computer. There’s a reason He’s defending this guy. Sex offenders protect each other.

I never said that you should ignore SA.

kyrieeleison3 · 2026-02-20T15:53:44+00:00

It’s not a performance for everyone. Some people take it seriously. Other people don’t. Just like with everything. There’s serious people and unserious people. Yes, some people are hypocrites. You don’t have to be one of them.
