About this site
This website is intended first of all for all kinds of ex-, lapsed, former, recovering, cafeteria-style, or simply disgruntled Roman Catholic victims and survivors. And all the weird ideas these kinds of folks entertain. Heretics welcome!
It’s not just for sexual abuse victims, however. Virtually anybody with that “indelible mark on the soul” of having been raised Catholic, attended parochial schools or catechism classes is in some sense a victim, in my view. Everyone has been lied to and manipulated by a cynical hierarchy with an age-old agenda to remain the sole purveyors of truth, most especially the lower clergy.
But this site is not “anti-Catholic” more like “antihierarchical”. Despite my profound disagreements with the people in charge and their dogma, there is much of Catholic culture and achievement that I admire and I still consider myself very much culturally “catholic”. This site exists not just to criticize the Roman Church, but to help preserve the good it has done, and to explore spiritual alternatives, including the occasional entertaining heresy. Stick around; you may learn something.
Thanks for visiting!
