Mea Culpa ( Column # 6 published in 2008 the late news portal Ekovoces )

few years ago I animated series Japanese and so far, which is my favorite Evangelion. The plot revolves around a government agency called NERV, which has been created to stop the attack of eighteen angels sent by God to cause what they call "the third impact, which would destroy the earth. I watched the show twice and both times I tried to figure out the reason for the discomfort of God, so great a nuisance that motivates him to try to destroy his creation for the third time after two previous attempts ended, respectively , with the extinction of dinosaurs and the South Pole melt. But he never explains why. Finally, what I had in this series is successful NERV's slogan: When God is in heaven, all is well in the land.

for twelve years I was raised in a Catholic school. There I learned to die on a Monday can condemn me to hell if I did not go to Mass on Sunday that masturbation is not a body scan, but a terrible act, I can not receive communion without not have gone through confession, which at least once a week you have to endure the humiliation of that sacrament, because almost everything you do involves a halo of evil, the devil is prowling around the time that it takes to make us drop our guard committing sins unimaginable that all contraceptive methods man are punishable in the catechism and to sleep with someone before marriage visa passport gives me burn in eternal fire. My fault, my fault, through my great fault, three blows to the chest and a full rosary, Miss, to see if he saves his soul. And lower the hem of the skirt that looks like a woman of the street. Amen.

Paradoxically, my withdrawal from the religion began after I received the sacrament of confirmation. Maybe I was expecting to receive it was an epiphany to clarify my questions or show me a way. None of this happened when I got the slap and when I sang a song in the letter said "here I am Lord, I hear you calling me at night, I will follow if you lead me ". However, you can live without epiphanies, but not the title of consciousness as a form of abjection tax for many years. The reason I walked away from the church was definitely my bisexuality. It did not seem consistent with a religion that told me to want or desire a person of the same sex was a sin that condemned me to chastity for life and, if not met, to eternal hell in my after-life. So much for my relationship with the Church. I could not continue to bear a guilt that he had no reason to be.

In 2005, when I went to Mexico, I met many practitioners of Wicca, an unofficial religion that believes in male and female divinity and the powers of nature. I remember that their practices caught my attention and I was tempted to continue the learning process, especially when I visited the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, in Tlatelolco, and I could not get to see the church because I felt a strange energy that I expelled from it. My return to Lima finished with my experience Wiccan, so as not get into that church I made it clear that that road had been closed to me. 5
The irony is that my best friend is responsible for the confirmation program at my school. Last year I was invited to support her in retirement although I do not practice a Catholic life. I confess I do not think the confirmation, I said, if I will to tell you my experience of life and not to encourage them to be good Catholics. And I was. I know that with this invitation, she tried me back to church, but in these days of recollection there was no epiphany, just a desire to search that led me to other ideologies and took me away even more of holiness.

Mea culpa, saying God must walk when he sees someone away from him because of the Church. Maybe that's why she travels so angry. We hope to continue in heaven everything is good on earth.
