Hello.
I am 17 and consider myself a Catholic. It is only recently that I have begun to question my faith in God and the past few months have been really weird. In that time I became a non-believer, then became a believer again, tried to become a secular humanist, read about Buddhism but now I really feel that I do believe in God and I want to be a good Catholic.
Thing is, I’m not from the most religious environment in the world. My Dad is extremely vague saying that there must be something but he’s not quite sure, my Mum believes in God but doesn’t do anything else and my brothers scoff at the idea of going to Church. None of my friends go to Church neither and my best friend thinks I’m “losing it” because I’ve started reading the Bible and reciting the rosary.
I feel guilty a lot for not going to Church, is it so very important? I thought I would start going to Church properly when I go to Uni, then I won’t be able to get teased by my family and friends because I’ll be on my own and independent.
Thankyou for your time.
