I recently found out why my mom would never sleep around me when I was a kid. Like she’d never let herself take naps or sleep if I was awake, ever. Or if she did, she would lock her bedroom door. So when I was 6, I was asleep in my bed in the middle of the night when I hear a loud bang, like a pot being dropped and come out to the living room to see my mom standing by the window, with just a huge pile of spaghetti all over the sill, and a pot on the ground, and I ’m like “Are you gonna eat all that?” And ya’ll she get’s BIG MAD and yells at me and chases me to my room but then a little while later a bunch of cops show up and ask me a bunch of random ass questions about my art? Like this one cop lady keeps asking me to draw dragons for her?! And they seem mad as hell

I didn’t want to get arrested so I just never asked my mom for spaghettis after that. Lesson, learned. Don’t ask mom for spaghettis or she’ll call the damn police on you.

So I have this memory in my head, and it goes unquestioned until I say it outload for the first time a few months back and as soon as I say the words “When I was six, my mom called the cops on me for asking for spaghettis” My adult logic slams into place and is like “Hang on. Your mother definatly did not call the police on a 6 year old for asking for spaghetti.”

So obviously that’s not what really went down. I call up my mom to tell her how I remember it and on top of her figuring out why her kid has always been really cagey around spaghettis for the last 3 decades she tells me what really happened.

So on that night, a man tried to break into our house through the front window. It was just my mom, and her kids so she did what she felt she had too and shot him in the head. He’d been wearing a helmet, which landed on the floor under the window.

Now I just want ya’ll to put yourselves in my moms shoes for a minute here. This woman has just taken a human life. The trauma of that- the instant agony, the panic, the guilt, the fear- all of it hitting her at once, her only solace the knowledge that her children are safe. She protected her daughters. No matter the cost to her soul- her children are safe.

Then she looks up and sees her six year old staring at the inside of this mans head before saying “Are you gonna eat all that?”

what pronouns should we use for you?

For me? I am but a little flower.

For example, Stewart Little is mouse-shaped. But he is human. He would be permitted to partake in the Body of Christ.

Hello?

thomas aquinas defines a human as having a rational soul, as opposed to an animal soul. this is taken from aristotlean theology, and is a distinction that has largely been ignored by the church because there has not yet been an animal that has been proven to have the same type of intellectual capacity as human beings

however, in the case of stuart little, chopper from one piece, lucario from pokemon, and kirby, we have cases where living beings that resemble animals have the same capacity for thought and language as human beings. in this case, thomistic theology already has an answer; these are being capable of hacing a rational soul. and because they have the same type of soul as humanity, then necessarily the salvific action of christ’s crucifixion would be extended to them. thus they are able to accept baptism, and through their baptism be able to accept the eucharist

thus, stuart little can have the eucharist, as a treat. same with lucario and chopper and kirby. but only if they choose to be baptized and confirmed in the holy spirit. in the case of kirby, this choice may be diminished by his childish reasoning, but as metaknight, ]the same species as kirby, has demonstrated, kirby will eventually become an adult in his reasoning faculties and thus can take part in the sacramental life in the church

i do not remember how mentally handicapped people participate in the church i haven’t been to seminary in six years and haven’t been to a catholic undergrad in a decade, plus i’ve been buddhist for like six years at this point so v0v

Kirby is cute but he is not allowed the Eucharist. He has no thoughts in his brain and is essentially a Pokémon.

mewtwo is capable of speech and rational thought, as is lucario (in a film, and by virtue of his pokedex entries which strongly imply he can communicate with his trainer) so being a pokemon is not a dealbreaker to having a rational soul i agree with you that kirby is essentially a child, and children do not receive the eucharist until they are capable of understanding it as something that should be treated respectfully. however, as i said, metaknight shows that canonically kirby will mature and develop reason, as a baby matures into an adult, and thus can eventually receive communion meta knight of course also qualifies but he’s jewish and thus would not be able to receive

We can only be certain humans have souls. It does not matter if a creature has sentience or is capable of whatever measure of thought. A raven is capable of speech and is highly intelligent, does not mean it can take the Eucharist.

shinvermouthea

a raven mimics, meta knight monologues. you can’t compare the two

We still don’t know if he has a human soul. Err on the side of caution.

He can receive a blessing of course.
