Back to Basics
I haven't written anything in a while for this blog. Part of that involves outside commitments--work has been busy in the last few weeks. But it is mostly a function of not having much to say. Or, rather, having lots of bits and pieces of things to say, without being able to string them together into a complete thought. If you were to check out the internal dashboard for this blog, you will see a dozen or so drafts of posts, drafts that I am pretty confident I will never finish. It's just not been happening for me of late. I think a big part of this chaos is a mirror of what is going on for me personally, particularly with regard to religion. I've gotten myself into a rut, and I am not sure how to get out of it. The rut, basically, is that I am not sure where I belong in terms of my religious faith. I no longer feel at home as a Catholic in the Catholic Church, particularly on the macro scale of the institutional Church (as opposed to, say, the local parish level).
