Mary, 12/19/2016
- year old woman that is changing my church doctrine to Catholic. Now I have been faced with many challenges and Im miserable by attending this "Rite Christian Initiation of Adults. I have paid it off er perish near by but did not complete them because I was having postpartum at that time and decided to stay at home. I have then been not to good on things after that occur to me many other things happen that I got distress and depress. So now I have formerly decided to go back and try to fufill my sacrament and be faithful to the catholic Church doctrine instead of The Church of the Nazarene.This Woman "Claudia Avila Torres" is the Director of Evangelization and formation for adults. She has been extremely rude to me and raises up her voice to people that was trying to pray in the parish and she had a hostile attitude towards them to or more lady trying to pray just because they was shushing her while Claudia was having a loud conversation with the men of the RCIA class. I found her evil and descases her self as a polite woman but in reality she done me evil and just because she iS A PAID EMPLOYEE of the perish does not mean that she can be loud to those women. NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHAT SHE DONE TO ME! I was crying yesterday becase of her many times putting me on the spot in front of the class. I have studied and realize that baptizim for God is a holy procedure for a men or woman to pursue such as myself and by that I also studied that your name will be writen in the lambs book of life". Now I came to this Claudia to tell her when is the baptizim going to be done and I also said I had been baptized in a church non catholic. I came the next meeting day and explained that I did not remember if I was baptized in the name of the 3 trinities. Then she proceded to talk loud instead of been polite and discreet she was putting me on blast in front of the class. Now I also suspect that she likes to give favoritism to a man name tedd or todd i forgot but anyways she either wants to date him of they want to date but I notice she gets jealous but I have notice and not sat around the people in this table so that she does not get upset because they sems to be very much speaking in the pearish and she shows him a lot of favoritism. Now I GO STRICKTLY TO GET MY SACRAMENTS but as I reflect my times in my previous church I ALSO WAS in the CHURCH NOT AS AN EMPLOYEE BUT AS A "VOLUNTEER" and Comparing myself with her I outshine her. She complained about the perish paying her little and not enough because of the many task she has to accomplish and let other people take her place to come to give us our RCIA classes and he said they overworking her and she do not get paid enough!. Now I felt sorry for her even also they mention her car been broken and she needed to repair it and that is why she did not make it and also in other occasions she does not make it because she feels sicken. NOW LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ME! as a volunteer I NEVER COMPLAIN to the church members I said this and that but I always added at the end is always been satisfactory to continue to serve the church and the community. I NEVER WANTED TO BE PUT IN THE PAYROLL since I was clear enough to God that I come to seek him and help him with my whole heart. I was vounteering long hours and also many days including Sunday's. But this woman get's paid is insulting the people praying and having to want quiet time so she saiys she got the right to be loud and conversating with her conquest and putting me on blast in front of my classmates. And on Adopt a family she walks away from me because she is anoyied and hateful against my precese to help in this event and I NEVER WHAT SO EVER CROSS A WORD WITH HER BY HER INITIATION NEVER GRETTED ME BUT SHE GRETTED THE OTHER PEOPLE. O YES SHE IS A PAID EMPLOYEE OF THE PARISH AND WATH SHE DO IN THERE IS STRICKLY FOR HER BENEFIT AND NOT FOR THE SOULS THAT COME TO LOOK FOR TRUE SPIRIT GUIDENDCE. I WISH AND HOPE I FIND A SOLUTION I CAN NOT STAND HER AND SHE IS A BIG HIPOCRITAL PAYING EMPLOYEE. NOT LIKE ME THAT I DIFFER FROM HER IN MANY ASPECT FIRST I WONT BE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH MEN IN THE PERISH WHILE OTHERS ARE TRYING TO PRAY. SECOND I WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND KEEP THEIR MATTERS TO A MINIMAL DISCREATION 3RD I WONT BE JELOUSE OF A WANT TO BE CATHOLIC MEMBER TO SPEAK TO OTHER RCIA MEMBERS 4TH I WONT BE SCARE OF THEM COMING TO ME TO GUIDE THEM AND TRY TO AVOID THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. She probably would deny my accussations but as God is my witness she done me all of these things and if she think I do not have feelings or understand who is true and false in the Church I KNOW APPLE ENOUGHT TO KNOW WHO IS THE TRUE FOLLOWER OF GOD and are those who care and freely give those and guide those with love, kind, respect and humility. THIS PERVERSE WOMAN DOES NOT HAVE A DROP OF THIS THINGS SHE is horrible and I WISH SHE BE REMOVED AND REPLACED HER how dare she complains about GOD'S CHURCH!!!!!!!!!
