Hello! I'm Father Dominic, a Catholic priest & seminary teacher, but I have recently been summoned by the Lord to my newest and truest calling, blogging. Please be patient with me as I am unfamiliar with the internet at large (grew up in a church belltower) and the seminary wi-fi is rather dodgy (probably haunted).

"monastic cells" - miniature models made by nuns, where they depicted themselves as little dolls praying in their monastic rooms. they can be found in museums in france, belgium, and switzerland. crosses, images, and quotes from the bible, as well as everyday items are meticulously crafted.

Just got off the phone with the Holy See. They're adding an eighth deadly sin: making ads with fake X buttons or multiple/uncloseable end screens. Yeah they're renovating a special corner of Hell for the people that make them and calling it the Labryrinth of Eternal Torment.

when we do the communion i try to eat a little more of the bread than anyone else, because that's the body of christ. so obviously the more bread you eat the more body there is, and i like to imagine jesus as having been really jacked
