things have changed over 50 years. source: the Catholic professor of religion

so, Catholic

Catholics generally, as you may already know, don't go to mass on Good Friday so to even mention it is trying to say fuck you to Catholics

oh this goes around! everyone should have a walk-on song. what's yours?

If it can be torn down, it can be rebuilt even stronger.

happy to do so!

fucking Kont

i mean yes, but he's also pissed at Pope Leo's rebuke

i immediately thought that too

not so friendly reminder that it's impossible to understand the Trump administration without religion

HIRE RELIGION REPORTERS AND TALK TO SCHOLARS OF RELIGION PLEASE

Pete Hegseth and Pope Leo's dueling sermons share the same tradition To ask whose words represent the “real” relationship between Christianity and violence would be posing the wrong question.

this is also I'd guess (and be right) a rebuke to Pope Leo's Palm Sunday homily

get in loser, we're doing the Wars of Religion again

ok, after the April Fool's bit (some of you didn't listen past 5 minutes and got got), me and @goingmedieval.bsky.social and @lollardfish.bsky.social get into it. here Eleanor is AMAZING and breaks down how Marx is both helpful and not in thinking about the Middle Ages #medievalsky

reposting from yesterday. the history of Christianity and violence is deeply entangled and has been since the beginning. the way we all can deal with the Hegseth's bloodlust is to realize there's an alternative that's equally valid.

It’s lovely

(this is 19th-century Protestantism's fault but perhaps we're not ready for that conversation)

worth nothing that "conservative" ideas are all cafeteria-style. pick and choose. ignore what you don't want

-they cite bible verses without caring about context
-the use memes that, in context, prove the opposite
-their reading of law is literalism, again without context

Zahn McClarnon is a fucking amazing actor

...so far
