Tbh the Dutch were justified in breaking free, it's just unfortunate that they did so by embracing the IRL equivalent of Warhammer 40K chaos cultism (Calvinism)

That one lady that found me curled up and crying against a wall in a quiet street somewhere when I was like 12 and took time out of her day to look at me with a concerned, kind face and say "Life is beautiful. Remember this." was Superman.

ngl I. I don't engage w/ a lot of superhero media. but. I'm rly glad Superman exists. like. yeah. sometimes people are just Good. and there's no secret ulterior motive. sometimes people will Just Help Strangers because it's the right thing to do. and that isn't weakness. strong people can do that.

playing Concerning Hobbits on the tin whistle was very therapeutic and also it made me cry

holy shit a convent got excommunicated for pledging allegiance to a sedevacantist bishop and were fully doing elder abuse behind closed doors this is very very dark but has really interesting implications for how the SSPX real estate battles may play out. the nuns were evicted after seceding

*looking up at a red, white and blue flag that is so stained with blood that the pattern underneath is barely recognisable* “I can reclaim this, leftistly.”

hmmm. time for Peak I think

french president emmanuel macron i implore your eternal spirit: press that big red button. end it all.

its like that friend you quietly know youll marry if you havent fallen for anyone by 30 except hes the world leader i can trust to kill us all if my accumulated moral injury ever outweighs my desire for further experience

to anyone who is trying to become an artist, the biggest advice (that i probably shouldnt be giving) is to keep persisting by any means necessary. it doesn't matter theres so many demeaning things from the news to ai to even the art community, but i promise being yourself will lead somewhere

Please help out if you can! ♡

I didn’t know this but WHEW Leo is coming for the sedevacantists and he is not fucking around. accept Vatican II or GTFO

(which is certainly not the same as being EQUAL, nor does it do anything about the deplorable and ongoing treatment of trans people, but it IS a doctrinal shift worth noting and it tells you something about the guys who run the show in that department now which I think bodes well for other stuff)

oh my G O D this made me cackle the girls are fighting in the Opus Dei Wikipedia page notes?????? incredible

THE VATICAN IS CALLING IT A SCHISM I REPEAT HOUSTON, WE HAVE A SCHISM

🚨🚨🚨MEMBERS OF THE ORDER WHO STAY IN THE ORDER ARE *ALL* EXCOMMUNICATED🚨🚨🚨

“the lay faithful” here means everyone civilian parishioners but also like, all those nuns is a whole order of nuns going to just defect to stay with the schismatics?? like everyone has to run the numbers and do their own calculus now

“MARRIAGES ASSISTED BY THEM ARE INVALID” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

god i feel SO ALIVE okay so here's why this has absolutely sent me to the moon the bishops were already "latae sententiae" excommunicated, which means they knowingly did a thing for which that's the automatic result. the Dicastery COULD have quietly left it at that

but instead, not only was there a big public announcement which scoops up 300,000 people instead of 6 people, it was framed as a warning to the rest of the church not to fraternize with these people. that's a shot across the bow to scare potential SSPX sympathizers and other right-wing Catholics

this is where suddenly "what are all the other sedevacantists who DON'T specifically belong to this one organization going to do" becomes the biggest and most potentially explosive question - now that they know Vatican II denialism gets you the maximum sentence and Leo is not fucking around with it

this is where I think we could start to see interesting rifts form between the Vances and the Dolans! Dolan is a right-wing blowhard and a hateful bigot but he is also an institutionalist to the bone. I think he chooses law over vibes. but Vance is an empty paper bag who prob chooses vibes over law

listen listen I do not want to get ANYONE'S hopes up but THEORETICALLY if I was a pope who wanted to take out Opus Dei - a significantly more powerful group, despite apparently only having like 1/3 the reported membership - I would want them sleeping with one eye open

ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LAITY THIS IS INCREDIBLE

Liveposting my "holy shit" as I read: the requirements for priests are *absolutely* extraordinary, and go far, far beyond anything that's ever been imposed before. This needs some background! Priests always report to *someone*.

deplorables was too nice a word for these people
