This is unrelated to you post, but ...Dear Mr Goff,<br /><br />This is unrelated to you post, but I wanted to show you this video out of a Phoenix AZ church called "A Call to Battle: A Short Film on ‘Society’s Crisis in Masculinity’:<br /><br />https://youtu.be/9mDzNm7cylw<br /><br />I was raised Catholic but fell away from the Church when I became a feminist and started reading work by you and some other intellectuals. Lately I have been going to mass again but cant fully commit myself to Catholicism because of these sorts of ideas. <br />This felt too macho and backwards and the emphasis on jingoistic rhetoric was very disappointing to me, someone who grew up with a lot of violence based around macho violent men.<br />I'm conflicted. I have so much respect for so many Catholic practices, traditions, and individuals but material like this short film keep me from fully returning to the faith.<br /><br />I feel like I dont have a "home". I dont feel I can belong to the Church because of my differences but I dont belong anywhere else. <br /><br />I'm rambling but was hoping you could post a response to this. If you dont have time or interest, I understand. Please delete this post if you find its location inappropriate.<br /><br />Your writing has me missing the Church but this video triggered a lot of bad memories you could say. I feel like a wish washy anarcho-Chrstian but I dont thats me anymore. Happy New Year and God bless. Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05509252839089082617noreply@blogger.com
