Hey! In case you don’t know, I have a blog at calledtobeholy.livejournal.com/

and I posted an entry talking about my story, and my journey…check out the comment someone left me.

"You are flat out *****! Just a *********, seriously *************teenager!! You have no father - he ran off and left your family; your sisters and relatives are *******; you had underage sex; you’ve been raped at 13 - twice! How does one get raped twice?! After the first time, he should have been in jail! - what, you went back for more??! You have some dead-end job, with no education; you admit you’ve practised Wicca, and you’re Mom hates the idea of you having a vocation and give you no support. With all that, HOW ON EARTH do you think you can be a Nun? What makes you even think the Catholic Church would even want a ***** wreck like you as a Nun??! Don’t bother with the platitudes about being ‘called’… the reality is that nowadays the Church wants high quality people and vets those with so-called vocations to ensure that only decent people are accepted… and that you AIN’T!. You’ve had a majorly ****ed-up lie and there’s NO WAY ****** ***** like you will ever be a Holy NUN! These are the facts: stop kidding yourself with the Nun vocation rubbish. It’s ********** like you who drive decent folk away from the Catholic Church! If… IF! you’ve been to confession, you might be forgiven, but that is a totally different thing to thinking a disgrace like you can stink up the ranks of a decent Order. I predict you’ll fail miserably with you’re imaginery ‘vocation’!

Sigh I commented back, refuting this person’s claims, and told her/him that I would pray for them…(it was anonymus) I just wish people weren’t so hateful and mean…
 
Prayers for you. Yes, people can be very mean. Don’t let it throw you.

Can you imagine some of the things people must have been telling St Paul when he turned around and told 'em he wanted to be a Christian missionary! Never mind that he’d been a major persecutor of the church until that point, that he had probably never met any of the Apostles or gone through the usual channels, that he had nothing stronger to base his decision on than some strange-sounding split second conversion experience …
 
Thank you…I told them about St. Augustine and St. Francis…both of them weren’t leading the most holy lives before they reformed and turned their lives over to God.
 
Oh, and I refuted all the claims that this person made against me. That I don’t have a father, (I do, and he of course has never left us) that I engaged in pre-marital sex (For that, it has to be consentual if it weren’t for what happend when I was younger, I would still be a virgin.) that I’m a psychologically sound, healthy, happy, emotionally well, practicing Catholic eighteen year old girl. Who yes, has made her share of mistakes in the past (and present) and relies SO much on God’s never ending love and mercy and forgivness. I just don’t understand where people come off being so mean and hateful.
 
Sure you understand it comes from the devil some people are so weak they give in others just like to indulge they just don’t know how bad eternity out of presence of God will be even after I had vision of hell I indulged in pleasures of the devil for 12 more years I am on 3rd year of trying to live life pleasing to God

It’s called “projection” by psychologists. We had one woman in our pro-life/sidewalk counseling group who looked like one of the Satanists who helped to run the clinic, and she received a lot of “stuff” like that from her “look-alike.” I told my companion that we had just received a gift–now we knew what kind of background the woman had, and could pray better because we knew what to ask for.

You may be interested to know that I’ll eventually be founding two Traditionalist/in-communion-with-Rome orders: the Cloisterites and the Congregation of Charity of the Miraculous Medal, Servants of the Poor. The former will have constitutional enclosure; the latter will be contemplative-active.

This poor soul needs our prays! (S)He thinks their being funny but it is really sad.
 
Unfortunately the internet often brings out the worst in people since they feel they are safe behind a wall of anonymity. But they are not really – God knows who they are and let Him deal with them.

And yes, you are right in thinking of Augustine and others – there were many saints who led unholy lives before being called to be saints.
 
Wow. Prayers to you Denae. I’m glad you didn’t let this bother you or doubt your vocation! The devil uses these tactics to bring down those who are called to religious life because he will do anything to make sure you give up. Don’t give up. You are right about none of us being worthy of being a priest/nun. God calls the weak to make them stronger. I am also discerning a calling to the priesthood and before I talked to someone who is in the seminary I would have never thought I could be a priest! This person obviously knew stuff about you. Could you have posted this blog somewhere where someone you don’t know online could have read it? That might be it. (This is Joey Blaise btw) 😉
 
You must have one holy calling if the devil is that mad at you.
 
Sticks and stones sister, just mean words trying to get a raise out of you. They only have an effect if you let them. Be strong in your admirable conviction. I would not have even given him/her a defense, because at some level that is what they desire, any reaction from you. Post some of the more positve comments that have been left to you.

peace

Sounds like Satan to me. Don’t listen to the geezer.

Sometimes the people who had the worst lives make the best religious.
 
Oh Denae. You didn’t deserve that at all. That is one sad, sick soul. So what if you once practiced Wicca and dabbled in the occult. People change! Obviously, you did. Using your rape against you was just sick. I’m sorry you were exposed to that person’s hate.

Bless you in your Faith journey. You ARE a deserving person.

You said you aren’t worthy of this vocation. Well, good thing you don’t decide that, God does. I don’t feel as though I am at all worthy, but God is directing me, just as I am sure you feel as though he is.

If someone felt they were worthy, I would be weary of them.

God Bless you and I hope to meet you someday as a Nun and me being a Priest.
:nun1: :highprayer:

It seems to me that only when you are doing the right thing do bad people care and when you are doing the wrong thing, good people care.
 
Wow that was crazy! Excellent response by you, I think whoever wrote that and your response certainly affirmed that you have a vocation!
 
You show the strength of your vocation through not allowing this to effect you. Stay strong and pray 🙂 - Jesus can get us through anything.

God Bless,
RCA
