I’m a somewhat observant catholic, I’ve been dealing with a lot of issues from fellow Catholics, including anti-lgbt statement from them

I’m now going under faith crisis, I have no idea what to do. I don’t wanna leave catholicism but at the same time I want to, The more I look at Catholics, the more I’m getting astray from Christianity especially when I saw someone celebrating a death of a “openly gay” person. and that really disgusts me when I read it, the amount of hatred (some) Catholics have towards the LGTBQ+ community is really staggering to me, also I don’t feel safe with some of my Catholic friends I have. And seems like they kinda of hateful against anyone disagree with their political beliefs, or even religion sometimes

Now I don’t know what to do, either embracing agnosticism . Or just trapped in this religion forever,

I will appreciate for every advice or reply to me. I’m very happy that I find a place to post about issues I’m going through,

    I grew up Catholic, left when I was young (teenager, in late 30s now) and became a somewhat militant atheist for a long time: militant in the sense that I was looking to logically spar with believers.

    About a year ago, I went through a reverse crisis of faith: I started to believe again due to very weird circumstances. I found myself at a Unitarian Universalist church, and it’s been life changing in the best way.

    UU has Christian roots, but there’s no forced dogma. Everyone is welcome, including atheists and humanists. The core beliefs are around the inherent dignity and value of all human lives. It’s more like a faith or values community.

    UUs have service on Sundays. Many are super welcoming.

    I’m sorry you’re going through a rough spot. Like many others have said, this is about your relationship with certain people moreso than God. I think you’ll find your tribe eventually.

    Peace be with you, homie.
