A place for Catholics who don't find their Catholic identity in the standard definitions. "He drew a circle that shut me out. Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But Love and I had the wit to win: We drew a circle that took him in." Edwin Markham

A Metaphor Worth A Thousand Words
It is said that metaphors are really important in forming religious minds and hearts. The above photo is a metaphor for innocence betrayed. At first it's kind of funny, until you really look at the cat's face and eyes and then it isn't so funny. It's about experiencing something that is so instinctively terrifying at the hands of someone you trust in a place you can't escape. A certain pope I can think of might want to meditate on this photo. He might get why so many abuse victims feel betrayed....again by the Church.
