When a post or a topic is rejected, you are notified by the system that it has been disapproved. Just because something doesn't get published, it doesn't mean it has been rejected. Simply, it's still pending approval. Wait for the notification that will tell you which of the two outcomes you got. Remember also that the clergy has very busy lives, more than you for sure. So be patients, as most of the time posts/topics may be on the bottom of their priority list. Gods, meditation, research, family, work, readings etc... all these take priority. I'm surprised how they even managed to sort out all these posts on their own, but it's not like they can delegate either. So it takes time. Sometimes, if the post/topic is rejected, in the disapproval notification you'll get a motivation or a comment too.
