"There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking."
Therese's POV
I’ve often doubted my religion. I know it might not seem like it to people outside my social circle, but I’ve let a few select people know like my best friend, Marceline, and I’ve confided in my chaplain, Father Adolfo. They all reassure me that it’s normal, but I can’t help but feel guilty.
I was raised with the teachings of St. Erik of Grobe, the order my mother’s family belonged to. My father wanted to me to be raised under an order that was founded by an Ibonian priest, but my mother fought with him about it. This was one of the few times I saw them disagree.
I prayed daily in Kontian like the Order of St. Erik called for even though Kontian has never been my forte. I believed everything in the doctrines. I regularly sent gifts to the Beatua in Passa as well as to the Archbishops in Vollis and Abile. It was expected of me.
When I married Henri, I still observed the religion. But after the death of my first son, I found myself severely doubting the religion. Why would God take away my child? I have given him praise and I have been a kind person. Why would the Holy God Above take an innocent child?
As much as I doubt the Passian religion, I am not a heretic. I will never convert to the Melopist religion that the priest Molnair started in Bioud. I am a true and faithful daughter of Bronde and I accept the Beatua as my leader here on Munda. Though it seems God is testing me with this whole debacle with my husband and that woman, Anna Everart. I know God favors me and I will come out of the situation for better. I only have to believe in His Name and I do. I truly do.
