The Catholic Revert
I have been Roman Catholic. I have been new age spiritual. I studied Judaism and have read Torah. I studied the Koran. I have read the Bhagavad Gita. I have prayed to the universe. I have prayed to the great spirit. I have been Agnostic. I have been a Protestant for over 15 years. I went to church on occasion. I went to church out of familial obligation. I attended church on holidays. I attended to avoid eternal damnation. I searched for faith in heaven. I went to church for others. I went to church for myself. I am Catholic again. This is my journey back to the church.

When I became enveloped in the world, I saw this phrase as satirical and ingenious. It was the auto-response on social media to people in need. If someone lost a job, it was “thoughts and prayers”, if someone experienced sickness, “thoughts and prayers”. If someone was grieving over the loss of a loved one, there were always dozens of “thoughts and prayers” thrown out. This was a way to say, I feel bad for you but I am keeping my distance…
