nobody in that church mentioning a goddamn thing about the lack of Mary the blessed virgin the woman among women ANYWHERE in the church or the sermons is so telling.

Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude in name only. The bedrock being a story of a woman scorned and villainizing her. the church technically being saved by a woman killing a man who perpetuated this hate for an innocent girl. All the women in the story becoming free from the misogyny of the church by leaving one way or another. Jud renaming it to Our Lady of Perpetual Grace both in memorium of the poor girl and a push for forgiveness and open arms and not a battle-ready mindset. Kindness being a traditionally feminine associated trait and Wicks rejecting it. Benoit learning to accept it near the end.

Grace of course meaning grace. Vera meaning faith. Simone meaning to listen. Martha meaning the lady of the house. Our Lady of Grace. Martha being the lady of the house, formerly Perpetual Fortitude, now Perpetual Grace. Learning to forgive instead of dying with the hatred in her heart. Rian Johnson i am in your walls.

i know i’m late to the party, but the fact that Prentice Wicks, when ensuring his daughter would never get his promised fortune, chose to spend it all to buy a useless rock, instead of actually donating it to charity or giving to the poor. it really speaks of how much it was just about hurting Grace. it serves nothing and no one, it is a petty, cruel act of a hateful man.
