They’re pretty insistent, those f*ckers outside, ringing the bell next to your door like it was a freaking organ with only one key. They won’t quit, they saw the car in the alley and the open windows on the first floor. It’s a beautiful day, they probably didn’t have much luck bothering the neighbourhood.

“Comin’, comin’!” You half shout in the hallway.

At last, you reach your lobby and open the door to find two pimply young men - boys - gawking at you. Black slacks, white, crisp button down resolutely tucked in their pants and buttoned all the way to the collar, big haversacks full of flyers. Missionaries.

“Afternoon, miss”, one of them manages to squeak while the other is still staring at you, mouth slightly open, “Have you found our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?”

You adjust the bedsheet you draped yourself into when you left the bedroom a few minutes ago and which is the only rampart between your modesty and two hungry, frustrated, devout virgins that you can already see hardening in their too-tight pants.

“Wouldn’t you like to know?”

You glance behind your door, where Lenny, who seemingly didn’t find any bedsheet left, is sushing you, the index barring his mouth, before taking the cigaret he’s holding in his other hand to his lips. He’s letting ashes drop everywhere he goes. It’s a miracle he didn’t burn himself already.

Before they have time to gather what’s left of their braincells, you slam the door shut to their face and pluck the cigaret out of Lenny’s lips.

“So,” Lenny asks as you make your way back to the bed, “You didn’t answer their question. Did you find our Lord?”

You let yourself fall among the pillows, “Would already have if they didn’t interrupt you, those fools”.

i made a character sheet. free to use as you wish, feel free to change whatever you want XD open source ass thing. spent all of ~maybe an hour on it.

Credit: the text in the insert-image box comes from this video, and the text for the top three lines (intense, complex, fruity) comes from this post. The actual image was made with the free NBOS character sheet creator, which is a sort of dated but free and solid text-layout sheet maker intended for ttrpg style character sheet creation.

Modern Sources of Devotion to Saint Joseph

Quemadmodum Deus; promulgated by Pope Pius X in 1870, this document declares Joseph as Protector of the Universal Church.

Quamquam pluries; promulgated by Pope Leo XIII in 1889, encourages Josephine devotion and includes the Ite ad Joseph, to be prayed at the end of the Rosary.

Bonum sane; promulgated by Benedict XV in 1920, which encourages devotion to Saint Joseph on Wednesdays, during the month of March, and as a model for the preparation of the art of dying. This one is only available in Italian and Latin at the moment.

Redemptoris custos; promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1989, this document celebrated the 100th anniversary of Quaquam pluries and suggested Joseph's self-sacrifice as an alternative to patriarchal rights as a model for fatherhood.

Patris corde; promulgated by Pope Francis in 2020, this document celebrated the 150th anniversary of Quemadmodum Deus and declared 2021 to be the Year of Saint Joseph.

Catecheses on Saint Joseph; given by Pope Francis from 2021-2022, as part of the Year of Saint Joseph, Pope Francis gave several addresses detailing different aspects of Joseph's life and character. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

(medieval sources to come, but there's a lot more of them and I won't be able to link to English translations for them all)

i love Don Tommaso as a pope. I dont know how to explain it but it is clear that with him they don't fell the need, something I hated in the first temp, to make him cool or even likable, is like so much nicer and smoother the way the interactions go between the characters, different from Lenny as a pope were they were always trying to make him as nonchalant as possible and to some level the way he is portrayed just seems lazy, to me Lenny fells like a self insert character made by a kid in minor seminary who is seeking to spend time between classes.

if you forget our entirely different socioeconomic backgrounds and the fact that they are hotter, smarter, more desired, more capable and more tortured than me, that character is literally #me

“It was in this climate that Leo XIII and Pius IX condemned freedom of conscience regarding religion. What they were condemning was the corollary notion to the idea that there was no absolute truth apart from the human will or the absolutely fixed evolutionary laws present in nature. This idea was called “indifferentism” because it taught that all religions that encouraged dependence on some sort of impersonal God and philanthropy to others were equally true. Truth in religion was indifferent. The Syllabus of Errors condemned religious freedom in this context but not in the context taught by Vatican II which is freedom of will in embracing the faith.

Other popes later spoke in the same terms. Pius XII taught tolerance in the light of the totalitarian experience of Fascism and Communism where the State was all. John XXIII affirmed the rights of a correct conscience. This was therefore a homogenous development of the principles which first of all stated that the person had a duty in conscience to seek the one, true faith. By the same token, the person had a right of freedom from coercion of the will in embracing religious truth. In Dignitatis Humanae, freedom of conscience regarding religion is based on two things. One is the dignity of the human person, who has the right to freedom from coercion by the State in embracing the faith in order to come to the truth freely motivated by a judgment of his intellect. This right affirms the freedom of will necessary for the act of faith The other is the incompetence of the State to rule in matters which regard truths of the supernatural order which transcend this world. God may bind the conscience to religious truths through authorities in this world, but this is not done through the civil order, but through Christ’s Church.”
