i bet both sides of the political aisle will totally be normal about the megachurch shooting and not warp the facts to fit their agenda and use it as fodder against others while ignoring the actual victims
#this was largely seemingly just a very mentally ill woman#off her schizophrenia medications#and had major delusions and paranoia#fueled by the stress of her divorce and the dangerous political climate we currently have#her mother in law is a rabbi and said she has had these issues for years and when she's on meds she doesn't believe in these things#or act like that at all#anti semitism is serious and should be taken seriously#but someone with a psychotic disorder being fed fear and violence in the media will end up picking a side#and believe they or others are in danger and act against that#i feel so bad for her child#and those in the church#CPS failed that child as the MIL had been trying to get custody for years at that point due to the severe illness of the mother#also the weird conservative conspiracy that she's a trans woman#bizarre

does anyone know how to stop the body from keeping score? i have shit to do
#i have shit to do but i'm so bad at both going to sleep and staying asleep that it's been fucking up my life for years at this point#yes this about accidentally sleeping through class this morning but in my defense i had an atomic tummy moment at like 6 am :( which is#kind of my point? an reason for missing sleep shouldn't stop me from participating in my own life and i'm tired of rationing my waking hours#if sleep was optional i would be unstoppable essentially but alas. alack even. specifically a lack of sleep.#girl all the saints have it out for me today for skipping church on a holy day of obligation i guess. well fuck those guys.#a post

So we were on vacation visiting some pretty Catholic church not for mass but just to see and there was a spot for vigil candles and at the time they were like 25 cents (they are like one or two dollars now, even prayers get hit by inflation I guess) and my mom paid for both me and my brother (~5 yrs old at the time) to light one. She explained that it's usually for someone who died or you feel needs a prayer. I lit one for a family member who passed, I didn't remember but my mom told me a lot about her and really loved her. My mom was tearing up a little in happiness that that person was on my little kid mind. And my brother, who was obsessed with the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie lit one for Willy Wonka
#for context I was raised catholic but they don't do the vigil candles at smaller local churches where i live#i mostly see them in big tourist attracting ones#you probably get a lot more money from tourists at those not worth it outside of that i guess

It's fascinating to me that for our modern (at least on European-influenced societies) thinking, the classical Roman way of life is so familiar. When you read about it, the rethoric of the speeches feels modern, a society based on contracts and laws and litigation, with public works, a state bureucracy and standing army and trade economy and even spectator sports, a concept of philosophy separated from religious dogma and tradition, with even a limited understanding of a government by 'the people' and 'citizenship', even the names all sound familiar even if in completely different contexts, and no wonder since they inspired our current politics.
This all in contrast to medieval feudalism, which is completely alien to me. A society created upon family connections and oaths of fealty and serfdom with no such thing as an overarching state, not even kingdoms were any more real than a title one person holds, and all held together completely, utterly, to an extent I cannot emphasize enough, by the institution of the Church and the Christian faith. In a way we just aren't used today in our secular world. I simply cannot overstate how everything, every single thing, was permeated by faith in the Medieval worldview and the Church which took its power from it, we have an understanding of it but I think people just don't realize it.
#cosas mias#this is a very silly example so bear with me#the other day I was watching some Manor Lords playthroughs#and a guy was complaining his medieval village wasn't growing#it was because no matter all the economic resources it had it didn't have a church#of course that for those people a place without a church is a non-place to start with never mind anything else#(and even the game oversimplifies that)#what I mean by these stupid tags is that we see religion as something private... for them it meant literally EVERYTHING#in a way we don't understand sure we can imagine a city without imagining churches... for someone on the middle ages#a Place was a Place where a Church was

writing a paper on second wave feminism and the catholic church and going into it i was not prepared for the level at which people think the church is oppressing and suppressing women.
like girl where
is it. is it one of the countless churches named after. the mother of God. or. or the hundreds of female saints. or. the art on the walls. or the nuns who are the life of a parish. or. what. are we looking at the same thing here. it's our seventh Marian feast day of the year. later we have a whole day in honor of Edith Stein. sometimes men take the names of women. by choice. in their teen years. is that. is that where women are getting oppressed by the church
#like don't get me wrong PEOPLE and INDIVIDUALS be out here oppressing the HELL out of women#but THE CHURCH??? THE STRUCTURE!??!?!?!#bitch to be so respectful with you <3 no <3#the church is not oppressing women#it is THAT priest#it is THAT husband#it is THAT man#it is THOSE women#the church as a whole herself is not oppressing anyone#catch me in my feminist moment#there are many benefits to attending a catholic college#catholic things

If you're going to be a Christian you need to acknowledge its history of violence and colonization so you do not continue the violence!!!!
#this post is brought to you by those anime characters the catholic church just released that use the missionary (colonizer) rosary#i'm anti proselytizing to the end!! let people choose their own religion and build their own relationship with God even if it's in a way#i don't agree with (with the exception for cults and abuse)#progressive christian#queer christian#progressive christianity#trans christian#lgbt christian

genuinely I think one of the most pressing calls for Christians (namely Protestant Christians) today is to stop underestimating the power of beauty
visual beauty, beauty in word, beauty in sound, beauty in story
we have ceded beauty for the past 70 years to the atheistic world and people of all beliefs are realizing that world has failed to carry that standard. people are realizing their daily lives are starved of beauty--especially natural beauty--so they are turning to the entities which recognize its power. entities like paganism, witchcraft, ancestor worship, the New Age. if they are drawn to Christianity (not necessarily believing it), they are more likely to attend a Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox mass.
humans need beauty because humans need God, and beauty belongs to God. which means the church should be the standard-bearer of beauty in this world.
if a church can afford it, they should prioritize building a beautiful church, even if that means it will be smaller or less trendy.
if a church has skilled musicians in their midst, they should prioritize using those musicians in worship, even if it means the style of the music changes.
the church should always prioritize hymns and spiritual songs which exemplify goodness, truth, and beauty in their composition and lyrics, even if it means newcomers don't understand every line yet.
all these forms of beauty should reflect the beauty of the story of the Gospel.
#yes the church is offensive to a world that hates God#but to those whom God is calling objective beauty is beautiful and they are right to be drawn to it#Satan twists beauty to his perverted purposes but God uses pure beauty as He created it to accomplish powerful things#He has made everything beautiful in its time and put eternity into man's heart#put on your beautiful garments O Jerusalem#you shall make holy garments for glory and for beauty#strength and beauty are in His sanctuary#the Lord of hosts will be a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty#your eyes will behold the King in His beauty#How great is His goodness and how great His beauty#the Bible never speaks of beauty itself as a bad thing. only the use of it for bad purposes#to make it represent something which is ugly underneath#to make it be an end in itself divorced from truth or goodness#Christianity#x#transcendentals
