Catholic Worldbuilding and the Wizarding World - Headcanons and More

If you've read All That Remains, my Regulus-Black centric work, you'll know I've incorporated Catholicism into my fics since then. The inspiration to incorporate Catholicism came from both @artemisia-black's Lacrimosa and Fiat justitia and her world building in D&D and Pietas, and @green-and-grey-kenaz's And he Drank.

Some caveats before I go on:

These are just headcanons of mine and things I've put into my fics. They work with the world but you don't need to accept them as canon or canon-compliant. Nor am I asking you to do so. I'm just excited to have this list put together of what I've done and the research that went into it.

There are other religions and faiths in the wizarding world. As Britain became more multicultural and diverse, it meant the purebloods and wizarding population did too.

This list is specifically for certain old-school Catholic families, particularly ones like the Blacks.

Catholic HCs and world building in my works:

Old-world pureblood families were Catholic. As the Roman Empire spread, witches and wizards from other areas hopped into Britain and converted Muggles and purebloods alike from paganism to Christianity. Wizarding world Jesus was a wizard; the Resurrection can still hold up as a miracle because no magic can reverse death.

When Hogwarts was founded in about 1000 AD, a chapel was installed inside the school. In my Regulus Black-centric work, I have the chapel and its tabernacle being a personal gift from Pope John XV to Salazar Slytherin in honor of the new school being built. 

Magical Catholic Mass isn’t terribly different from Muggle Catholic Mass. The key difference is that since purebloods/wizarding society tends to be more old-school than Muggles, purebloods never bothered to implement the vernacular changes of Vatican II. They still celebrate Mass in Latin. 

The Pope is always aware of magical Catholics, not unlike the Prime Minister knowing about wizards. There are wizarding bishops and cardinals buried in the catacombs in the Vatican.

Magical Catholics have their own dioceses; they’re bigger, geographically speaking, because there’s a much smaller wizarding population than the general population. 

Pureblood Squibs are sent to monasteries or convents. 

I’ve created several locations like St. Mungo’s to accommodate various parts of wizarding society. St. Mungo was a real Britonnic saint, so all these saints below are also Anglo-Saxon/British and I’ve incorporated them into my worldbuilding, particularly in my current longfic, Supernova. Again, these are all my creations - not actual canon. 

There is a privately-funded pureblood hospital called St. Teilo’s. It’s where purebloods go to avoid being treated by Muggleborn Healers or associating with Muggleborns in general. St. Teilo’s bio page.

I created a day school for pureblood girls called St. Leoba’s. In the context of my fic, Supernova, it’s where a lot of pureblood girls go to school before they go to Hogwarts, whose parents aren’t keen to educate them themselves. St. Leoba’s bio page. 

There is a long-term care home called St. Hugh’s Home for Hopeless Cases. It’s a poorly funded Ministry facility for wizards with long-term illnesses and inmates from Azkaban who have been Kissed. St. Hugh of Lincoln’s bio page.

Purebloods worship at St. Aelred’s Cathedral. St. Aelred of Rievaulx was a real monastic whose abbey is now in ruins in Northumbria. I weave that into my stories by having Muggles see the abbey in ruins, but purebloods can see a proper cathedral and that’s where they have Mass. St. Aelred’s bio page. 

St. Aelred also has an extensive graveyard, complete with private mausoleums for individual families. The Blacks have one of the grandest mausoleums. 

The stained glass windows and art in St. Aelred’s move like photographs and portraits. The crucifix appears to be ‘living’ with blood shining on Christ’s wounds. Purebloods think it’s neat.  

The Statute of Secrecy and the creation of the Church of England were tied together. The CoE was founded in the early 1500s. The Statute of Secrecy went into effect in the late 1600s. The rise in persecution against witches and wizards, particularly from Muggles associating Catholic practices with witchcraft in general, was one of the reasons why the Statute went into effect. As a result, this is one of the other reasons why purebloods are so resentful towards Muggles and Muggleborns, as most of them are Anglicans.

Most pureblood families aren’t necessarily devout. Cultural Christianity/Catholicism is fairly common, but even when it’s cultural, it’s still very much a way for purebloods to wield power, influence, and control. 

Like many Catholics, old-school purebloods really like their relics and/or more ‘gory’ mementos. You may be aware that Catholics venerate (not worship, not adore, more like honoring) relics of dead saints, such as fragments of bone, skin, blood, etc. Given the Black family’s cool collection of blood and other unusual items, it makes sense to me that pureblood Catholics are fully on board with collecting pieces of dead bodies and having their own reliquaries at home. 

The splitting of one’s soul is an act of violence against the sacred. I wrote a meta on Horcruxes and Soul-Splitting; I imagine that the most zealous purebloods would find horcruxes to be outright offensive, not because of the murders involved, but because of the disintegration of the soul. I would also like to highlight this meta written by @artemisia-black and @ashesandhackles, the Importance of the Soul.

SAINT LEOBA // NUN

“She was an Anglo-Saxon Benedictine nun and is recognized as a saint. In 746 she and others left Wimborne Minster in Dorset to join her kinsman Boniface in his mission to the German people. She was a learned woman and was involved in the foundation of nunneries in Kitzingen and Ochsenfurt. She had a leading role in evangelizing the area. Leoba was acclaimed for many miracles: saving a village from fire; saving a town from a terrible storm; protecting the reputation of the nuns in her convent; and saving the life of a fellow nun who was gravely ill – all accomplished through prayer.”

[upennmanuscripts]

On October 31, Curator @leoba will bring out Ms. Codex 1677, a collection of occult texts copied and compiled by Charles Rainsford and mainly comprising prayers, lists of divine names for invocations (p. 180-189), and instructions for conjurations taken from works attributed to well-known occultists such as John Dee and Richard Napier.

Coffee With A Codex is an informal lunch or coffee time to meet virtually with Kislak curators and talk about one of the manuscripts from Penn's collections. Each week we'll feature a different manuscript and the expertise of one of our curators. Everyone is welcome to attend.

In honor of my inability to sleep and the pretty dress I bought today,

Night Raven has a ball (it's Disney - there should realistically be a ballevery other day (it doesn't matter that they are based off of the villains)). Anyway, everyone is there dresses in tailored suits (Leona decided to be nice and buy Ruggie's suit + Vil objected to anyone not being dressed to standard), when Ace enters dressed in a a beautiful gown, which Yuu bullied him into. Cue reactions.

(Note: The dress is a proper Disney Princess (tm) bal gown. It is a dazzling red colour with shimmers in the form of small crystals that are sown onto the dress. It has ribbons to tie off the sleeves so that they form a bell shape and other ribbons artfully tied in appropriate places. There corset detailing on the bodice and there is a sweetheart neckline. It is paired with high-heeled shoes that have ribbon ties. He is also wearing a ruby pendant (perhaps a gift from someone).

AHHHH!!! I NEED THAT DRESS DRAWN NOW!!!

Anyways, Ace doing it on a dare from his brother who was essentially just saying that Ace could never have the balls so Ace goes the extra mile by doing his hair as well to look extra pretty. Yuu and Ace's brother coordinating the thing together is just so funny

Heartslabyul are speechless. Deuce is like a goldfish, Cater is taking picture after picture, Trey is so lost and he just wants to wrap Ace in a jacket, Riddle is impressed by Ace's ethic and wonders if Ace would have any objections to following any of the Rules from the rule book that require dresses

Savanclaw are shocked. Jack is BLUSHING AND TRYING TO HIDE!! RUGGIE IS WOLF WHILSTIG AND LEOBA KEPS LOOKING ACE UP AND DOWN

Octatrio wants to capitalise on this for the monstrolounge and azul wants to try and have Ace be an attraction. Jade wants to give Ace a pretty flower whilst Floyd wants to drag Ace to dance.

Scarabia find Ace so gorgeous. Jamil wants to take to the dance floor whilst kalim wants to give Ace more pretty accessories

My pom!Ace agenda is still going strong and Vil borderline demands Ace transfer to pomefiore then and there. Rook is stunned and is just babbling in French and has now just taken to calling Ace his dear. Epel is lowkey jealous at how Ace still looks so cool whilst wearing a dress

Igihide are not particularly shocked. Ortho is the one who helped Ace find the dress and get it on and is impressed with himself for it tuning out to great. Idia keeps making comments about how Ace looks like a shoujo princess

Diasmonia lowkey thought Ace was a princess from some farway land till they realise the truth lmao. Lilia is hanging in the ceiling waiting fir an opportunity to get Ace alone. Silver is trying to get a bunch of birds to back away from Ace whilst Sebek is stuttering over himself. Malleus also wants to ask to dance
