I am very troubled and I am not sure this is the right forum if not please tell me.
I have struggled for sometime now with the church many things have lead to this far to many to go into. I did attempt to speak with a priest about it, but he is ill equipped to deal with the issues even the spiritual ones. his suggestion was to seek council and return to mass after the issues are dealt with. Well I simply can not deal with the spiritual side on my own. So I returned to church and the more I attempt to stay in the church the more I am being told to leave.
I attended my first confession since baptism 17 years ago. The experience was not welcoming nor did it make me feel better. I needed to make things right with God before my surgery.
I thought I would at least attend one mass while free of mortal sin, but I am greatly preplexed at my priests reaction to me being there. So my doubts about the church have grown so strong that I can’t pray, I walk into the church and only feel coldness. My priest visably show distain for me being there (others notice this so it is not just me)
So I am at the end wha reasonis there for me to continue to try and be accepted into a religion that obviosly doesn’t want me there? If God exists would he condone this? Others are openly welcomed I am not sure what I have done, when I go to mass I don’t disrupt things I sit quietly.
I have no answer just that I know that something is wrong,leaving I guess is the right thing.
Thanks for listening
