my boss and I were both raised catholic/went to catholic schools and her in laws have a tradcath son and I really appreciate that we bully him at every opportunity, what a freak.

#the trad cath thing is also insane to me because like?#have you met any latin americans? any italians?#like trad caths…it’s very obvious it’s an evangelical take on catholicism #because even very observant catholics do not act like they do #which is also crazy because evangelicals freaked out so bad about catholic immigration to the states #a huge part of being an evangelical is rejecting it #historically at least #it’s just the phenomena is so insane to me #further evidence for my take that since we’ve become a visual culture #the historical and theretical meaning of objects and identity signifiers has died #it’s about the aesthetic of traditionalism and not really the practice #and it’s so divorced from it’s historic roots it actually really bothers me #catholicism is a state religion #it’s roman in character #the point is not really to Feel #or to be a zealot #even the conventions of communion #sort of inseperable from roman sacrifice #sorry I’m going off but it’s just such an ahistoric misunderstood movement #if you want real pure religion a la intensive oneness with the spiritual you should become a radical methodist

Largest religious denomination in the USA by county

Btw this doesn’t show atheism/irreligion, so like in Los Angeles, 60-70% of religious people are Catholic, it’s not that 60-70% of Angelenos are Catholic, just the ones who profess a religion.

shit needs doing so naturally I am thinking about. The swap au

#shakes swap gelebor by the shoulders WHEN WILL YOU LEARN. WHEN WILL YOU LEARNS THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!!#blood. Blood. gallons of the stuff. More than you could drink and it will never be enough/ref He's so. SILLY #gripping mswap like a stress ball and he crumbles into dust. He's like actually living mummified it's fucked up #vampirism 4 him is like. Giving up auriels light so others can have it. Maintaining everything from the shadows. Humanoid church grim. Etc #THEN EVERYTHING WENT TO SHIT!!! vyrthur still creates the prophecy out of like. Grief I guess rather than selfrighteous anger #The fact that gelebor is adamant that vampirism is Good and auriel still loves them pisses him off so much. They have Nothing and #Auriel has done nothing for them. And still he does everything #Checks in on vyrthur. Is horrified at the state of the wayshrine. Vyrthur cleans up. They dont talk to each other for 400 years. Repeat #swapau #mswap is so. goofy lovestruck grin imagining him in the family guy death pose. I need to draw him covered in blood again #Character embodiment of divine madness has yet to experience the divine reckoning. Honey youve got a big storm coming ❤❤❤#lectures you for 3 hours on how while cannibalism is the most literal and therefore most divine eucharist it is still inferior to blood alo #^I'm not christian ik this is inaccurate but I often draw from catholicism 4 him because they have got some WEIRD SHIT to play with #also is the religion of midnight mass and faith both of which are. Huge influences on this au. I cannot stress how much mswap is msgr pruit #he would say the honesty monologue if he had anyone to talk to. Arguing w riley* (*his inner demons)

kjadfk;j a family member was like... I feel like you've spent more time caring about Guild Wars than Jesus lately. Maybe I should get you a picture or statue.

me, stealth agnostic: Uh, I, uh—I feel weird about Jesus iconography, honestly.

her: Really?

me: Yes, it makes me uncomfortable.

her: Half your family is Catholic. They have all kinds of stuff like that.

me: ...I am aware.

#i don't know if i'm just overwhelmed by a certain strain of protestant religious demonstrativeness #that's very widespread in the united states #or by having a bunch of catholic relatives with kind of quirky taste in jesus imagery #or by being immersed in studying 18th-cent english lit overwhelmingly written by a kind of restrained anglican #or maybe i have some iconoclast byzantine ancestor smiling down on me lmao #but there's something about the display that makes me intensely unsettled #on top of caring more about guild wars than real world religion for the former's entire 17 years of existence. i mean lbr.#anghraine babbles #cw religion #cw christianity #ascalonian grudgeblog #anghraine's gaming #cw catholicism #agnostic blogging

2024 State of CMCS Report

About Springtime of each year I usually write to you a state of cmcs report. However this year I'm going to post this video here instead of a blog post. I think it will bring more clarity to this report.

Frank Casella, co-founder and executive director of Catholic men Chicago Southland.
