I don't know if I have any active followers left, but here goes. I didn't end up converting to Catholicism. I am still very involved in my church. I have been working away for the past couple years in a new job, just got a promotion that is moving my family and I to Richmond, Virginia. I have a son now. Life is strange and beautiful. Orate pro mihi.
This feels weird to do but...
I'm asking more and more questions about Catholicism. I barely use this hellsite anymore but some of the people I follow on here are Catholic and I've always had an interest in the historic Church, probably because my dad was a professor of Church History for a number of years. Full story under the cut.
yank poll incoming
The word Yank (when referring to a person) means...
A person from anywhere in the USA
A person from anywhere in North America
A person from specifically New York
A person from a specific place in the US that isn't New York
Something else!
Bonus points if you reblog and tag where you're from and your answer. thank you kisskiss

Was anyone going to tell me this Christian maiden was thrown to a brothel for her confession of faith and refusal of marriage but the first guy that burst into the door was a soldier who believed and who disguised her in his uniform so she could get out then was taken to be martyred himself and when he got there was met by the maiden who refused to let him be martyred alone, or was I just supposed to read a reference to it in a medieval text on friendship and follow the footnotes to another medieval text which records it as a well-known tale to use it as an example of courageous virgin martyrs myself?

I love stories of pagan converts to Christianity during the Dark Ages because most often these warrior kings and chieftains would listen to the story of Christ’s crucifixion and without missing a beat they’d be like “If I was there with my boys we would’ve saved him.”
Hes a little confused but hes got the spirit
I think about that line a lot. “Had I been there with my brave Franks”.
people will laugh at this and others will say his reaction was missing the point but this always genuinely brings a tear to my eye
Clovis was told a story of a man who did no wrong, who did only good, who loved all and taught his followers to love all, and was murdered for it. It’s true righteous indignation if there ever was.
It's a long, proud Christian tradition stretching back to St. Paul and the Church Fathers.

going to start texting like a medieval monk… Woe! my brother in christ the line at the banking house has by the will of our Lord God in Heaven taken longer than I had previously in my mortal folly predicted. A lesson to us to remember our own shortcomings and that our Lord is the only Being able to understand in full the world He has blessed us with. Pray that I shall be released so that I may sooner join you. May God Bless and Keep You. - anno domini nostri Jesu Christi MMXXII
war and murder are awful. killing another human being is a horrible thing to do. swords and guns are cool as fuck. these two beliefs exist simultaneously in my mind and do not conflict at all
Knights are just inherently, immensely sexy... it's all about the devotion, the ideals, the cool weapons and armor AND the muscles to wield them...
I'm dying of laughter because who I was even 5 years ago would be appalled at who I am now. Like I went from being a self identified queer anarchist only loosely associated with my faith, joining the IWW and being even left of the DSA, vegetarian and occasionally vegan, to being a very conservative (theologically) Christian, trying to go into ministry, very much secure in my masculinity, married to a woman (and loving my marriage!) and trying to find friends to go bow hunting with this fall.
From John Pavlovitz :
I’ve been a pastor in the church for over two decades, much of that in predominantly white churches in the American South.
I’ve spent countless hours in church staff meetings and men’s Bible studies and youth pastor conferences.
I’ve stayed connected on social media with thousands of people still there in those churches. I read what they share and post and amplify and I know how they think and what they believe.
I need you to understand something and I say it without any hyperbole: white Evangelicals need to be stopped, now.
If the 2024 elections allow Republicans to gain a deeper control of our government, Conservative Christians will decimate this nation, and LGBTQ people, Muslims, women, people of color, and non-Christians will never have equality under the law again. We will all be at their mercy—and they will no longer have use for mercy.
This is not alarmist, sky-is-falling histrionics, it is the clear and sober forecast from someone who knows these people better than anyone. [...]
#Christian evangelicals will probably also come for Jews and their rights
Pretty safe assumption, given their whole thing about all of us dying to bring their dude back.
I’m basically just coming back from extended hiatus to angrily reblog all the posts I see on here that A. Don’t provide evidence or B. Are just plain wrong. I don’t see the correlation, I don’t see the equivalency between Conservative Christians and this sort of boogeyman liberals or the Left have made. Yeah, many Conservative Christians are right-wing. Because left-wing politics have abandoned everything Christians care about. And as for that last bit, about “all of us dying to bring their dude back.” I’m just going to take a wild guess here and say you’ve never actually read Revelation have you?
