pope francis's last words were "more poppers please"

I died doing what I loved, telling a trans woman she was right

She’s right

Christians have to eat leavened bread today because it is risen

The reason "lets only focus on kitchen table issues" is a bullshit political strategy is that what Pete Hegseth did is 10K times worse than what Hillary did and it will cost Trump nothing but cost her everything. People care about what you make them care about.

If I can walk away from Cosby reruns as a child of the 80s, I think y’all can get rid of something popular from your childhood if it’s made by a shitty transphobe.

Just trying to get that clutch apocrypals reskeet

Extremely curious about the trans people who follow this account but not my main. Like, hi I am also a trans woman (and also I am The Real Pope)

MAGA reacting to trans people and immigrants

Happy Easter. The bunny represents the Holy Spirit

Hey Siri can you give up Catholicism for Lent

Chris and Benito of @apocrypals.bsky.social recently guest-starred on Retronauts to talk about the Satanic Panic

Still here bitches you come for the queen you best not miss

Cum prostate

Really need to keep this pinned so people know I’m the real pope tm

New episode drop! @abhigashi.bsky.social rejoins us to try to convince Chris that 2 Chronicles belongs in Bible apocrypals.libsyn.com/117-king-sol...

Merry Christmas. Punch an aryan

New episode drop! This year’s Christmas special takes a look at The Revelation of the Magi, a Syriac account of the secret cult at the edge of the world that preserved the mysteries of Adam and awaited the birth of the Star-Child! Plus: a computer gives Benito an existential crisis

My boy the Defender of the Faith, the Wonderworker himself, the man who punched the Arian heresy in the face. Saint Nicholas of Myra.

Let’s do a thread of some Christmas-themed Heroforge minis I’ve designed, why not We’ll start with the main man, Nicholas of Myra, Father Christmas, Santa Claus himself. He lives at the North Pole and makes toys etc. You have probably heard of him

I look like this btw, if you even care

he could have offset the abortion support with the death row shit! the pope told me!

biden pardoned two turkeys this year but his "catholic" ass won't clear the federal death row before trump gets in

Elf on the Shelf is trying to strangle a dog. Garbage character, devoid of humanity, evidence that God has abandoned His creation to the whims of reprobates and the iniquitous.

If you’re interested in the history of Christmas or just Christianity generally, Benito Cereno and Apocrypals (a podcast he cohosts with @theisb.bsky.social) have my highest blessings. One of those blessings with lots of complicated left hand right hand crossing and grabbing of body parts.

Yep, either Martinmas (Nov 11) or the first Sunday of Advent (this coming Sunday), depending on how traditional you're being. Martinmas was the old marker for the beginning of the Advent fast youtu.be/fO9ETpAIQ54

Sometimes I have to reskeet something here so my main can follow the person. This accounts follows must maintain The Bit

Shiny guy! #xmen #drawing #comics

Companions of Christmas 9: Hans Trapp Hans Trapp (once known as Hans Von Trotha) was a German knight in who, in the 1480s, forcibly took possession of a castle fortress that had belonged to a monastery. 1/

New people are are arriving from the bad website so please remember that if you are a Republican I think you are a bad person and do not want you to follow me.

Is Martinmas when you’re allowed to start putting up Christmas decorations? Seems like a question @benitocereno.bsky.social would be able to help with

It just occurred to me that this is by far my largest cis following on any social media account.

We have a cover!!! The Oxford Handbook of Biblical Monsters is in production. We tried to put together articles that would foster a dialogue between traditional scholarship and more contemporary monster/horror. Now it's waiting, and preparing for the fun that will be proofing and indexing.

To celebrate Columbanus's feast day (Nov 23rd, 615), we chat to expert Dr Alexander O'Hara about this charismatic handsome aristocratic learned monastic founder! A visionary who preached European unity centuries ahead of his time, but was he zero craic? Find out now! open.spotify.com/episode/6TcC...

I can’t let this die because sometimes there’s a skeet that’s just too good to not reskeet as a bit. Illy can have little a being the pope, as a treat

the catholic church's homophobia in combination with the fact that most artists are and always have been gay has led to exactly one predictable outcome: church art being Very Normal about saint sebastian

you havent seen Gay & Horny until youve seen a catholic closet case

you know the twelve apostles were a starter pack if you think about it

I created this originally as a one off joke. I now use it as an occasional alt because it’s fun, but I’m not trying to pretend I am the pope. If you’re looking for the real pope, you probably want @pontifexeng.bsky.social
