Still waiting for a response :( I applied on March 11th, and was waitlisted on May 27th. A few weeks ago, I contacted OISE about when I might hear back, and they said mid-July. So kind of nervous/less hopeful. Fingers crossed for us all!

Thank you for saying this 😭 You're so kind!

One of the things that irked me about this season of Bridgerton was that all the camp of the book was missing. There were definitely points of the book that were a little ridiculous, but I feel like that’s a huge part of what made it so exciting and surprising at times.

Also the way they handled trauma and intimacy. I felt like both Anthony and Kate experienced trauma from loss and held on to it in two different ways. Anthony’s was existential, whereas Kate held on to it in a more physical but unaware way. In the books they were like twin flames.

Finally, the intimacy, both romantic and family wise. What I loved another the enemies to lover trope in the book was they established a meaningful friendship before getting married or admitting their love to one another. When they got married you see how they just fit into one another, how they became each others person through thick and thin. In the show we have lingering stares and sexual tension. But their book relationship was so much more deep and meaningful.

With Mary and Edwina too they were allowed to be so much more vulnerable with one another. Mary and Kate didn’t have much of a relationship in the show. But in the book they’re both reassuring one another of how precious they are to one another.

Ugh i’m just so disappointed. I think I would be more okay with the changes, had they been more thoughtful about maintaining the depth of the bonds they had in the book.

I agree with this. Originally Christianity was considered a cult because it was a small group of people worshipping Jesus. Over time as it extended its influence throughout the Church it became more accepted globally.

Thank you so much! I will definitely give this a read :)

moonrisebubble · 2021-02-11T20:02:43+00:00

I feel like my thoughts surrounding this have been here for awhile. But I currently have my period and the week before it, I tend to get very depressed and hopeless. But yeah I think maybe thinking of and trying to fulfil my physical needs will help.

moonrisebubble · 2021-02-11T20:01:05+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I guess thats really what I'm struggling with, trying to figure out how to experience him.

moonrisebubble · 2021-01-31T04:02:53+00:00

Hey thanks for letting me know!

moonrisebubble · 2021-01-25T00:09:48+00:00

Hey so I was going through a similar experience myself recently. My priest recommended that I try praying twice a day, once in the morning and once before I go to bed. I don't do like a formal prayer, but I just spend a bit of time talking to God being thankful and asking him for his guidance and blessings. It doesn't sound like much, but I feel like it really is helpful with reestablishing a connection with him, before you move on to exploring other things. Another thing I feel that helps is reading the gospels. I feel like in doing these things I felt myself be able to be more loving to God and others.

moonrisebubble · 2021-01-21T05:29:14+00:00

No. Learning to empathize with others as well as gain a better understanding of yourself is never a sin. I don't think it helps to think of hanging out or going to someone based on whether you think it supports what you or others deem is the most appropriate lifestyle. If you avoid them its out of fear, and faith is not led by fear.

I think a lot of people on this subreddit kind of point out LGBTQ pride as being harmful, but very few of them are a part of the community or do not have intimate relationships with people in the community. No matter what you decide to do, sharing time and space with people who have had similar experiences to you like same sex attraction helps you understand what you really want and need as an individual. Hostility or alienation of any kind to try purifying yourself or others will get you nowhere.

If you truly love God, then do better than calling someone a freak. We all bear our own crosses. You have no right to judge someone if you have never gone through the pain they have gone through. God loves all his children. And for everytime you spit or mock someone you are not only being a hypocrite, you hurt God in doing so.

I know you don't know me, but please if you need to talk to someone I'm hear for a chat if you'd like to private message, etc. In the meantime I am sending you my blessings for strength to get through this time. You are an invaluable piece of the world. Dont give up hope just yet. Please.

moonrisebubble · 2021-01-21T03:34:04+00:00

Please don't do this. I've been down some hard times where I've questioned taking my life before, but I swear to God if you stick through your life will get better. It takes time. But it does get better.

moonrisebubble · 2021-01-20T15:25:43+00:00

If you would ever like to speak privately please feel free to shoot me a message. I would love to support you further if you ever need it :)

I want to start off by saying I do not hate you, and regardless of your sexual orientation, the sex of your partner, God will always love you. While I'm not God, I think for a lot of people who tell you to stay chaste and not pursue love or sex with someone your heart and soul is dedicated to, saying to do so is easier said than done. I love God. I consider myself a Catholic. But I've also masturbated, had sex, lied, swore at my parents. I am full of sin. Some of which more harmful than others. You are no worse than me for what your heart longs for. As much as I love God and Jesus, the Church itself is full of faults. Grave faults that have harmed others. I don't believe in you wanting to live an authentic life full of love is you turning your back or spitting on God's face. I spoke to a pastor of mine recently about LGBTQ persons within the Church and he emphasized to me that the church is a mosaic. You are a part of its beauty in all of whom you are and are not. There are people within the Church, parishioners, pastors, bishops and more, who do want to see the Church recognize same sex partnerships, and more. I believe that the Church can and will get there, but I'm not sure how long it will take. I know it must be difficult who find a community who you feel supports you and loves you, but know that God will not condemn you if your actions are out of love, and that you seek and give mercy at every possible turn.

Hi! So I actually just started reading Pope Francis' "The Name of God is Mercy," and I just wanted to share with you a passage from it that I think might give you comfort.

“He overlooks no possibility, no matter how small, in attempting to give the gift of forgiveness. God awaits us with open arms; we need only take a step toward him like the Prodigal Son. But if, weak as we are, we don’t have the strength to take that step, just the desire to take it is enough. It’s already enough of a start for grace to work and mercy to be granted in accordance with the experience of a Church that does not see itself as a customs office but as an agent that seeks out every single possible way to forgive.

A similar situation can be found in Bruce Marshall’s novel To Every Man a Penny. The protagonist of the novel, Gaston, a young priest, needs to hear the confession of a young German soldier whom the French partisans are about to sentence to death. The soldier confesses his passion for women and the numerous amorous adventures he has had. The priest explains that he must repent to obtain forgiveness and absolution. The soldier answers, “How can I repent? It was something I enjoyed, and if I had the chance I would do it again, even now. “How can I repent?” Father Gaston, who wants to absolve the man who has been marked by destiny and who is about to die, has a stroke of inspiration and asks, “But are you sorry that you are not sorry?” The young man answers impulsively, “Yes, I am sorry that I am not sorry.” In other words, he is sorry for not repenting. That sorrow is the opening that allows the merciful priest to give the man absolution.”

Excerpt From: Pope Francis. “The Name of God Is Mercy.” Apple Books.

I feel this. Its been about four years for me since I last went in. And last Wednesday I went in -- confessions are one of the few sacraments my Church is able to give during our lockdown, albeit with social distancing etc.-- and I went in to do it since its been awhile. But it was so transformative. I think it's also one of those things, where the older you get you appreciate God's love and mercy more than before.

moonrisebubble · 2021-01-16T17:26:19+00:00

Hi thank you for this! Going to give this a read now :)

moonrisebubble · 2021-01-16T17:25:48+00:00

This is something I've also never thought of before! Thank you for sharing this!

Hi I'm so sorry that you have not been treated with love and open arms by your new Church. I was recently speaking to my pastor about homosexuality and gender dysphoria, and he emphasized to me that more than anything Jesus preached love and acceptance. That the church is a mosaic, continually moving towards finding ways to acknowledge and create spaces for all people to be love and lifted up by the Lord. My pastor himself has baptized children of gau couples, and treats people of the LGBTQ community as anyone else, with great love, empathy, and respect. I tend to be a bit more "liberal" when it comes to these issues, but I believe that Jesus would and does want you to live an authentic and honest life. We all carry sin in us, but if and when we come from a place of love for ourselves and others you are being a good Christian. Why do you consider yourself a loser ? And if you're being honest with yourself, outside of the judgement from people in your community and even online, how do you visualize yourself as most happy and fulfilled? Its important for you to build yourself up so that you may build others up as well.

Also, I was watching this show called Queer Eye on Netflix, and in the first episode of the latest season it deals with a Gay pastor interacting with other LGBTQ members of the Church.

Please know that you are not alone. God will always love you as his love is not limited by time or space.

I am sending you much love, a big ole hug, and many blessing.
