I love how the last attempt by a conservative Catholic figure to “reclaim” Pride Month accidentally ended up with one of the most queer affirming pieces of religious art I’ve ever seen:

I actually follow the account being made fun of by the OP. As far as trad-ish accounts go, she is genuinely sweet & wholesome & the vulnerability in allowing others to see her life as an autistic person, even facing ridicule & abuse like this, says a lot about her bravery.

Multiple criminology studies have pointed to churches being a popular hunting ground for predators due to the way in which ‘forgiveness’ is used to cover up abuse & sideline victims.

Chester Bennington of Linkin Park.
His songs carried me through some dark times in my life (I was viciously bullied in school making me experience near constant su*c*d*l ideation from age 9 to 12). I still cry thinking about his passing & how much his music meant to me.
What death of a famous person hit you the hardest? Specifically someone you had no real relationship or even adjacency to, but who's passing wrecked you in a real way?

Australian here.
1. Unfortunately true.
2. That is a term we don’t use. Instead we say Aboriginal people, Indigenous, or First Nations people as collective terms. Always capitals. Mostly, though, they’ll refer to themselves individually by their own nation (Eora, Darug etc).

I could write a whole dissertation on his body language, especially the placement of his hand, being a deliberate tactic to assert a rigid patriarchal mindset when a man of the cloth feels threatened by centring women in a discussion.
Hi, folks! I'm still in Rome and I am celebrating Mass with a group of pilgrims from Holy Cross parish in the Bronx. I also want to talk to you about the Bridgettine sisters.

I’m not going to judge the outcome of Pell’s soul.
But his legacy?
Covering up abuse in Ballarat, using the Melbourne Response as a hush-money scam against survivors, & lying through his teeth about what he knew & did both on 60 Minutes & the RC.
Some fucking legacy.

The Magnificat, which we hear Mary proclaim in today's Gospel, is anything but a sentimental prayer. It shows that Mary's understanding is of a God who turns the status quo of injustice and unfettered power on its head to institute a kingdom of justice and peace.

Today I was told some medical news I should have been informed of over three years ago. Not the first time in my life I’ve been massively let down by doctors. I’m angry, I’m crying, but most of all I’m just sick of it. Women deserve better healthcare. Please pray for me.

Today’s homily was about “insiders” vs “outsiders” & how we as Catholics too quickly draw that line. The deacon reflected on recent conversations with a queer congregant & the depth of faith from “our siblings in the rainbow communities”. Reader, I wept.

About today’s news:
It’s wrong of a priest to misuse his position & break his vows & such a priest should be investigated.
The way The Pillar went about their investigation & the salacious way in which they reported it was also wrong & highly gross.
Both can be true.

On this day 42 years ago, St Oscar Romero was martyred while saying Mass by a US-backed right-wing military junta. Despite the risk, Romero spent his time as archbishop of San Salvador speaking up for justice & denouncing the repression of his people. St Oscar Romero, pray for us

But the moment anyone dares suggest that US society needs a massive restructuring so that mothers & families in poverty are supported without the need for band-aid conditional charity support, y’all shout “Socialism! Bad!”
Every church I’ve been a member of has regularly taught on the sanctity of life, supported crisis pregnancy centers, welcomed single mothers, helped families in financial need, & advocated for adoption & foster care.
Don’t believe the lie that Christians only care about births.

The way Sinead was treated her entire career is a testament to how women are treated when we speak up against our oppression. Be it capitalism, patriarchy, religious abuse, or even our own personal struggles with mental health, too many strive to dismiss or silence us.

Many people have done a far greater job of explaining our love for Our Holy Mother in response to this nonsense. But the line “Don’t mention her in your church” just reeks of a deep misogyny that silences the great women of faith, then as now, & it’s such a mask-off moment.
Stop worshipping Mary
Don't pray to her
Don't mention her in your church
She's just human
She's not your saviour
She can't convince Jesus for you
She can't forgive your sins
She's not your mediator
Go directly to Jesus
He's your justifier
He's your saviour

The casualness of the lean combined with the firm grip of the hand on the top of the statue’s head gives an air of “I know this is meant to be about you & your contributions to the Church, but I have to remind viewers that I’m a man & a cardinal & thus I outrank you.”

Because to these Christians, sexuality is meant to be a struggle for which you obtain a reward. Straight? Repress yourself until you marry. LGBT? Repress yourself until you die & go to heaven. Lacking the desire for sex altogether comes across as extremely broken to them.
I don't understand why Christians are mad at asexuals. I thought being chaste was a good thing and you seem to think that asexuals are being chaste. So what is your issue?

I simply cannot put into words how deeply offensive this hijacking of the message of Fatima by mostly Anglo reactionaries is to myself & others in the Portuguese community. Turning what was a message of hope through dark times into a whack conspiracy theory is so hurtful.
One of the worse things to happen to the Catholic Church in the last two centuries is radical groups heavily politicizing Fatima and peddling Fatima conspiracy theories - which in turn drives people away from a powerful message and the legitimate miracles that occurred.

One time at Mass when the priest elevated the Eucharistic host, a little kid piped up “Hi Jesus! Hello! It’s me, (name)!”
When the mum tried to quiet them, the kid said “But Mummy, you said the bread is Jesus, I’m trying to say hi!”
Kids in Mass are the best 😂

Unpopular opinion: a lot of RCIA classes are quite insufficient in how they convey the rich dynamic nature of Catholic tradition, often reducing Catholic teachings to simplistic lists & soundbites. This void is easily taken advantage of by online apologist-bro types.
It’s really crazy when new Catholic converts begin to make statements like “Vatican II lead the church astray.” What kind of RCIA did these people go through? Please, new Catholic converts, you joined the Catholic Church. You don’t lead the Church. The Church leads you!

Six years ago I was received into the Catholic Church. With a family perplexed & grieving for what they believed to be a loss & friends supportive yet equally puzzled, I entered knowing it wouldn’t be easy but that it would be worth it all.

Being anti-war =/= pacifist. You can believe that war & violence is wrong, criticise its reinforcement imperialism & unjust social hierarchies, decry invasions as a serious violation, but it doesn’t make it okay to deny an oppressed people their right to self-defence.

Slightly mystical mumbling ahead, feel free to skip.

I was 14 when the Cronulla riots happened &, being that I am an obviously Mediterranean olive-skinned woman, I have never felt safe around people decked out in the Australian flag since.
The way the Australian flag is co-opted by right wing extremists, I normally feel safer when I see an Aboriginal flag than when I see an Australian flag.

We as women in the church just cannot fucking win. We’re fetishised no matter what we do or wear & I’m sick of it. It was this sexual objectification, including by self-professed Christian men, that motivated my switch to modesty in the first place & boy do you guys need help.
saying headcoverings are sexy is such a dark and satanic inversion.
still in shock over someone telling on themselves so badly.

For anyone wondering, this is what I mean:
I didn’t grow up Catholic so I could be wrong but it seems like there was a particular Catholic aesthetic in the 90s of painted silks, folksy wood statues, bold jewel tone iconography etc. Almost like a Waldorf school aesthetic for Catholics? Am I mistaken?
