I dunno I just think if a seemingly innocuous film about cardinals assembling to vote in a new pope inspires memes like these it's worth a fucking watch

patho × bible lore Isn't It Funny how the apostles Petros (Peter/Pierre/Пётр) and Andréas (Andrew/André/Андрей) are brothers within their (biblical) canon and Petros (Peter) was at first named Simon but given a stone-related name by Jesus when he said "And I tell you that you are Peter (=stone) and on this rock (=stone) I will build my church" (= upon you apostle peter i will build my church) and isn't it funny how the Polyhedron was (spiritually/psychologically) built upon Peter's back at great cost to his sanity and how it was (spiritually) built upon/FOR Simon's body at great costs to everything else. I just thought this was interesting.

I'm obsessed this is a real thing happening in our timeline holy fucking shit IS THAT THE ANIME VIRGIN MARY HELP ME-

So Luce is our main loli, then we have another one with pink hair and the other two I believe are shotas? But I couldn't find any confirmation. The wikia says the name of the friends are Fe, Xin and Sky, whilst the dove is named Aura (short for Aurora like the lights and we should like, totally make her the Dead Dove Community mascot), the dog Santino (lit "little saint") and the little kodo angel Giubi (as in,,, short for Giubileo, the Italian name of the Jubilee).

I simply cannot look away I hope they go viral cause I want the lewds asap AHAJSJDKFKF

"Since you've named yourself after Julius fucking Caesar, perhaps I'll follow in your lead and choose one of the conspirators." "Interesting," says Giuliano. "Should I worry about finding you at the center of some kind of conspiracy that ends with my death?" "Not from me," replies Ascanio. He sounds tired. "Not anymore."

informally, some kind of. conversational follow up to the last comic. I'm trying to get the atmospheric conversational whimsy out of my system because I have a vision of the vatican as a body in active decay, a point of infection spreading out and poisoning the well, a jaw unhinged that people walk into over and over, and I am so close to figure out how to convey this visually. maybe.

Falling in love with the statues at the Vatican Museum is truly beyond words. That said, I’ll do my best not to flood everyone with endless photos from my trip to Italy — specifically Rome and the Vatican — though I must admit, I did take an overwhelming number of pictures.

On the topic of Heta OCs, I'm finally getting around to exploring this idiot gooner Vatican (Feli's greatest opp)

(Design still not final!)

Please excuse the OC stuff recently, I just got through a major deadline so I'm indulging myself as a lil reward <3 Alternative version under the cut:

it wasn't quite a dream, but more a rambling thought as i was falling asleep, but, was a cardinal like Machete ever asked to officiate weddings? I dont even know if thats a thing cardinals would be asked to do, much less had the personal for that kind of thing, but imagine being asked by a major political hardcore catholic family to do so and only accepting because you know your secret boyfriend is also attending as a political figure and you get to almost secret pretend its your twos wedding

I'm actually not sure, I've never thought about it. He'd definitely have the full rights to officiate weddings, you don't lose the eligibility to perform sacraments when you get elevated from an ordinary priest to a bishop and then a cardinal. But I think once you get into these high positions you kind of grow out of the priestly role and spend less time doing ground-level work. I imagine that weddings of important nobles and royalty were likely presided over by bishops and cardinals.

The scenario is endearing so I choose to believe that it could've happened.
