So I looked up the story about the Black Madonna that helps queers and I found the legend behind it. The story goes that in 1256 there's this gay couple,, and they're walking around town together, and the townies see them kiss so they chase them out of town and tie them both to a tree and just leave them there to starve. They pray and Our Lady of Montevergine saves them and tells the town "Y'all don't be homophobes," and the two men spend the rest of their lives together. So now there's a big procession every Candlemas at the shrine.

Oh, what a delightful thing to look into

Ugh. There’s no good icon of Our Lady of Montevergine that isn’t super expensive or generated by AI. So, for pride month I may have to attempt drawing it myself, even if some tracing might be involved.

You’d think a Black Madonna saving the lives of two gay men who had been hate crimed, and then them celebrating her intervening for them by having gay sex would be something the Woke Left invented, but it’s Real and her name is Our Lady of Montevergine

[queers4christ]

Mary melted ice to save the marginalized and She'll do it again. Don't fuck with mama 🫶

Our Lady of Montevergine, pray for us queers and let us bathe in the rays of your love and warmth!

[eesirachs]

no, god loves you. no, he loves you. "but..." no, he loves you

[hail-holy-queen]

I remember still the speech of a priest who told all about a rock that was thrown at a display of an icon of Christ outside, the Priest then proceeds to use the rock as the first brick of a monastery, or perhaps of a hospital. For out of hatred love grows, this symbol of detestation shall be the one who holds all the bricks together as the house is served for the poor.

As a woke and queer christian theologian and kinda-mystic I think too many people forget how Christianity at its rawest is so achingly woke and queer

Jesus answered and said to them, “Say it to my fucking face.”

Today, 27th May, is the feast day of Saint Melangell, patron saint of hares, rabbits, and small animals.

Saint Melangell was a Welsh hermit and abbess in the 7th or 8th Century. She was born an Irish princess and fled an arranged marriage to become a consecrated virgin in the Kingdom of Powys in Wales. She lived in the wilderness of Powys for fifteen years before being discovered by a Welsh prince named Brochwel Ysgithrog. In 604AD Prince Brochwel was hunting near Pennant when his dogs led him to a "virgin beautiful in appearance" silently praying. The hare they were chasing ran under the hem of Melangell's dress. The dogs retreated from the hare and refused Brochwel's commands. After hearing Melangell's story Brochwel gifted her the land, granting perpetual asylum to both the people and the animals of the local area. Melangell lived in the area for another 37 years and founded a community of nuns of which she became the abbess. The hares and other wild animals of the area were known to act towards Melangell as if they were tame.

Up until the early 1900's people in the area of Pennant Melangell refused to kill hares and gave them the nickname Ŵyn Melangell (Melangell's Lambs). It was even said that if someone saw a hare being chased by dogs and cried out "God and Melangell be with thee" the hare would escape.

“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.

There’s no resetting the past. Only repenting and asking forgiveness from the Lord.
