[Faith-talk] Blindness and church

[Norma Crosby]

I have been watching this thread for a few days without making comment.
However, I guess I have two to make. Understand that I am just a spiritual
seeker. I hold no position in any church hierarchy, so here goes.

First, I am hearing some people suggest that you find a different church,
and I would agree that if you are uncomfortable in your parish, you should
look for a new church home. That is not a recommendation to leave the
Catholic Church. Rather, it is a suggestion that you search and find a
congregation where you are more comfortable.

Second, I see others have suggested that you leave your current faith
altogether, and I think that sounds radical unless you are truly unhappy
with the church as a whole. I am not a Catholic, although I have an interest
in learning more about Catholicism, but I would point out that you will find
negative aspects of almost any faith you choose. You will find people in
virtually every denomination who are more narrow minded than you would like,
and you probably will run across discrimination on the basis of your
blindness as well. This is a togh decision, and I will be praying for you as
you make.

Best regards,
Norma Crosby
