catholic guilt

Sexualizing nuns is 🙅‍♀️NOT🙅‍♀️ sexy

Watching Pope Francis funeral and I just can’t help but get choked up. He was such a good man and truly embodies what it means to be Catholic. I pray we will get a pope who loves.

hello!!! long time no see. today i bring my second piece of fan art for @canisalbus !!

i just got back from a 9-day trip in italy, and all i could think about was our favourite tragic catholic gay dogs. especially in churches or near the vatican. as someone with my roots from sicily, it was an incredible trip to go on. i throughly enjoyed looking at the architecture and art all around me.

machete is not in his full-red cardinal attire here (which makes the title of this essentially a lie), but shhh. that can be our little secret.

looking to start posting again since school’s over now!! huzzah.

I'd like to remember Pope Francis as the Pope who called a ton of priests faggots, apologized for it, then called them all faggots again

Rest in peace, Pope Francis. You will be missed by all Catholic Christians all over the world.

You don’t think Mary knew what it was to sacrifice?

Don’t think she spent every day of her son’s life wondering if it would be his last?

Don’t think she asked herself if his first steps would be his last?

Which of the times he told her goodbye would be the final one?

Which of the miracles he preformed would paint the target on his back?

Which of the gods he opposed would be gifted his head, Mary’s heart resting aside it?

You don’t think she grew to resent her God?

The man who gifted her the most precious of things, for the sole purpose of taking him away?

You don’t think she warred with herself for questioning God’s will?

Don’t think she ever wondered why it had to be her?

Did she ever look at the people amongst her and wonder why they deserved salvation?

Ever question why they should live while her child should not?

Ever pray to take his place?

Ever blame herself for what was to come?

For it was not simply God who made her child, she accepted him. She agreed.

Is she not as guilty and morally objectionable as those she scorns?

Is she not as blood coated as those who hammers the nails?

Mary, who knew the fate that beheld the lamb once it reached the wooden alter, cradled it in her arms.

The lamb felt warmth. The lamb felt love. The lamb looked upon his mother and saw the good in humanity. So what was the lamb to do but step upon the alter himself?

What could he have done but lay his head before the knife, in reverence to the woman who carried him there?

How was the lamb to repay his mother’s kindness with damnation? When she above all deserved absolution.

Mary raised her son with love, kindness and faith. Praying what she knew would occurs never came to pass. What else was she to do?

Her son felt the love and kindness she gave with no ask of repayment, saw her faith. Believing the good in humanity flowed and shined from her. What else was he to do?

The true Catholic standpoint on LGBTQ+ Community

I think many people need clarification on the catholic religion's stance on the LGBTQ+ community and I'm going to give it to you.

Firstly I have seen a lot of people talk about how the text was mixed up and the words were actually mistranslated, now I don't know if this is true, but for argument's sake, we are going to pretend that it was not. But even if that wasn't true people (read: mostly Catholics) are misinterpreting what it says so here.

so, in the bible, it says that a man can not have sex with a man. now let's look at this. It does not say a man can not be in a relationship with another man, and it says nothing about female x female relationships or any other LGBTQ+.

Also, we as Catholics are not supposed to judge others for their choices or actions so whenever you call someone out for being gay and being like "you're going to hell!" your sining -_-.

AND if you're going to call out other people for being gay because it's a "sin," then start calling out people for every other sin. I mean divorce, cursing, sex before marriage, racism, harassment, hatred in general.

In conclusion, if you call out people for being gay, it ain't because you're a catholic, it's because you're a homophobic asshole.

hi all, this is oddly specific but a friendly reminder to check up on your queer/trans friends with catholic backgrounds today!

the pope is dead. there are varying feelings going around this, but many of us are scared because pope franics was honestly relatively considerate of the lgbtq+ community (for a pope), and the next pope is not super likely to be, which affects way more than you'd think in some religious communities and households.

sending love to all 🤍

Religions In Indonesia

.·:*˚¨¨ ≈★≈ ¨¨˚*:·.

Indonesia is quite an interesting country! It is known for one of their islands; Bali, and their vast number of languages. Fun fact! Indonesia is the country with the most islands and probably the country with the most languages that belong to them. There are a lot of islands, a lot of cultures that reside with the islands in the country, like Javanese and Balinese. But there is one language that is used by everyone there is Bahasa Indonesia. Their capital is Jakarta which isn’t as known as Bali but is still the capital of Indonesia.

Another thing that Indonesia is known for is their religions! It’s actually not permitted to NOT have a religion and that you must pick a religion out of 6 religions: Hindu, Kong Fu Cu, Islam, Buddha, Christian, and Catholic. Afterall, Indonesia is a secular democratic country that has a Muslim-majority population. The Indonesian constitution guarantees all people in Indonesia the freedom of worship, each according to his or her own religion or belief. It also stipulates that the state shall be based upon the belief in "the one and only God" (a condition which also forms the first principle of the Pancasila, the Indonesian state philosophy introduced by Soekarno in 1945).

Indonesia is always open to thousands of things! But there are some things that aren’t allowed and aren’t legalized by its government. Not only that, but religions in Indonesia have conflict despite having a lot of religious freedom. And although some religions are fighting over doctrinal differences, most conflict stems from more secular causes- a desire for political power, a struggle for resources, ethnic rivalries, and economic competition.

Just like I said earlier, some religions are having conflict. And although some religions are fighting over doctrinal differences, most conflict stems from more secular causes- a desire for political power, a struggle for resources, ethnic rivalries, and economic competition. Their reasoning for this conflict had caused a lot of problems in Indonesia.

Here’s a few of the conflicts that have been going on in Indonesia:

The conflict in the Malaccas, where, according to Indonesian Red Cross data, over 500,000 people have been displaced and over 4,000 people have died in Christian-Muslim combat over the previous two years. Even if it is undoubtedly the greatest of the problems we are currently experiencing, it would be inaccurate to attribute it to a long-standing religious disagreement. The underlying causes of it are actually numerous historical, political, and economic ones.

Although West Kalimantan is currently quiescent, hundreds of people were murdered in a new outbreak that occurred in 1999. Furthermore, there was a prior incident in 1997 that resulted in numerous fatalities and involved native Dayaks and some native Malays fighting the Madurese immigrant group. The topic of migrants against indigenous people is a recurring motif in conflicts within Indonesian communities.

There is a conflict going on in Poso in Sulawesi. Again the worst episode was this past spring when there were about 300 people killed. Again there was Christian-Muslim fighting but this conflict was based more on local elites struggling over power that ended up in communal conflict.

Community conflicts occasionally break out in Couchon Pandang in West and East Java, Kupang in West Timor, Lombok in Eastern Bali, and other places where the conditions are right. Of course, the ethnic Chinese are also a constant target whenever societal turmoil occurs.

Of course, there is a way to resolve all of these problems. It won’t be easy, neither will it be quick to resolve. But with time, it can be done. There are few solutions that I know of to overcome religious conflict and receive religious harmony:

Followers of different religions should exercise moderation and tolerance towards each other and their beliefs, and not instigate religious enmity or hatred.

Religion and politics should be kept separate.

Overall, we should learn how to  tolerate and respect other religions. Considering they are all in the same country, with Bhineka Tunggal Ika has their meaning for unity in all religions. I do hope for the best outcome of  any religious conflict in Indonesia. The people and its scenery is truly a beauty.

Faith

By sun.after.winter

The sides draw closer

Repulsion and longing,

Back and forth, back and forth

Tossing me out to sea

It's been so long,

Years it's been encroaching

Crawling, wave by wave, ever closer

To drown - or to fly

Do I turn back, or do I turn my back

Symbols that once meant so much -

Safety, love, hope, closeness

Now a symbol taunting me, to choose

He's god, he's love, he's hope, he's resilience

So why do I hold back?

Am I still his child?

Loveless, as I am.

Picking and choosing between his words, his laws,

Simply so I can belong?

I wish i was joking when i said that everytime an ash wednesday mass happened at my all girls catholic school, when the sign of the cross was drawn with ash on our foreheads, they fucking played Ashes by Celine Dion from Deadpool.
