We stan Mary

Casual Catholic blog. Please don't come at me with bad theology. I do not advocate for or evangelize for Catholicism or the church. I was raised Catholic, and still technically consider myself Catholic, and think some of the memes are funny so there we go. Queer/She:They if you have a question send me an ask :)

There is no dichotomy between man and God's image. Whoever tortures a human being, whoever abuses a human being, whoever outrages a human being, abuses God's image.

Art with Jesus having the kindest eyes and the scruffiest beard gets me every time. Like he purposefully didn’t look ‘holy’ or ‘regal’ he was your neighbor. He was your carpenter.

“The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.”

I’m crying because when my dad was eighteen he was going to join the airforce and then the night before he had a dream that Jesus slapped him in the face with a gigantic fish and asked him what he was doing and he woke up and thought, “Jesus is right what am I doing?” And that’s why my dad did not join the military.

““We must not seek the child Jesus in the pretty figures of our Christmas cribs. We must seek him among the undernourished children who have gone to bed tonight with nothing to eat, among the poor newsboys who will sleep covered with newspapers in doorways.””

I was raised Catholic and images of Mary still hold a measure of comfort for me. Qilin are said to appear to portend the appearance of a great individual, and are symbols of prosperity and protection.

I think one of the fundamental differences between Pope Francis and a lot of his critics, particularly in the Church and sometimes even in the hierarchy, was that he really spent time listening to people talk about their spiritual lives and had a real reverence for it — the activity of the Holy Spirit in the individual person's conscience. [...] I think what they missed was that he really did trust the Holy Spirit active in the individual. I think that encapsulates why people struggled with that; because it's a challenge when you hear something like that, "We need to meet people where they are. We need to listen to them." We need to see where the Holy Spirit is active.
