An Agnostic. A non-practicing Catholic. A ritualistic warrior confers inner thoughts and discussion.

I share this not as indoctrination. Even the many who do not announce beliefs or faith practice are among the souls coexisting in this human dimension, and here I allow another insight an exposure to my dimension of examination and experience. By incident, I watched. Not by pursuit. Not by design, but by proximity.
And by the same token, I also watched as leadership of the United States has boldly, unabashedly, despotically rendered to the world a diametrically opposing, reprehensible presentation of divine contradiction. We are facing an antithetical, dissociative demonstration of social behavior in the person of what is a President of the United Statesβand I do not say that lightly. Because in a world where there is such diametrical opposition, where one may even discern something diabolical in its posture, we are confronting a warfare that feels beyond the constructs of human dimension.

I am an all-inclusive religionist yes, I hear how that sounds, and even I pause at it, because who comes up with this kind of rhetoric? That phrase alone calls for its own deconstruction. But if I am to sit with it honestly, to reflect as I am wont to do, what I am really saying is far simpler: I am universal as the word Catholic was always meant to denote.
To my own deciphering, I am cradled in Catholic Church teaching admittedly, a preferenced bias, as it is what raised my religious upbringing. But let me not pretend I am no devotee. It is the very Church that provokes much of my ire and disdain. I question, because I have a penchant for questioning and interrogating, and yet, within the sanctum of my spirit force, there is an undeniable belief, a faith, a sacramental intuition that I hold in deeper reverence than I outwardly show.
