so I’m NeoWiccan because long story short I’m a fierce duothiest, believing in a God and Goddess as complimentary opposites. Anyways, i have also this deep, deep, deep love for Jesus, and Mary, and all of the saints and practices associated with all forms of Catholicism. (Orthodoxy, RC, Anglican Communion, etc etc) and I want to do devotion to Yahweh, etc.. i have a *strong* relationship there. but i cant give up my Goddess. I cant give up my duothiesm. Help! this is a such a big issue for me :(

You are absolutely unable to become a Catholic who honors the Wiccan Goddess.

It is in direct opposition of the Church to do so.

There is no point in joining a group whom you wish to change a fundamental belief of.

Yahweh’s laws also demand that He is worshiped above all other entities. Therefore, it is likely that you would be unable to uphold His laws, even outside of the Church, unless you willingly placed the Wiccan Goddess as a figure below Him.

You are certainly able to love and admire Him while staying a Neo-Wiccan, but you will not be able to devote yourself to Him as a Catholic and continue your practices.

Ignoring the Church, it’s against scripture.

God is One.

One.

Not two. Not 1.5. Not 1 +/- x left up to the individual.

God. Is. One.

Henotheistic Monolatry is the realm of Christianity and Judaism. Islam is Monotheistic/latric.

God is also male and female at the.same time. That’s been lost overtime, so in some respect, it’s not wrong if you associated god as male and female and worship both halfs separately. It really depends on how you relate God to the God and how you transalate the ten commandments.

No.

You cannot worship them separately.

The closest you can come to that, and it’s basically the origin of the concept of the Trinity, is the notion of “feminine” Sephira within Qabbalah.

Can and should is the sticking point here.

No. You neither can, nor should you. God is indivisible. You cannot worship the complexity of God in some fragmentation of His essence.

The simple fact is that that doesn’t stop people it hasn’t stopped people for centuries.

Oh? I’ll sit here and wait while you show me a prevalent religious denomination or sect of Jews, Christians, or Muslims that fragments God in the manner you demonstrate and creates a duality out of the One God.

I’m not saying this isn’t theologically correct, but you do know this is why people see monotheistic religions as intolerant dick bags.

Yes, such intolerance to not want someone to bastardize your religion.

How about I just come into Wicca and choose not to worship the Lord and the Lady?

How about I just come in and only worship Satan?

And I tell everyone that I’m a Wiccan because I want to be?

Let’s see who turns into an ‘intolerant dick bag,’ then.

Umm okay.
