my husband and i got exceedingly hammered last night and he proceeded to explain the history of catholicism & christianity to me so i could write more accurate porn fjbmgfbkj #blessed
#silver jelly#wish i remembered it a little more but it's okay he drew diagrams#difficult bc i think i was picturing joseph's parents as catholics and that wouldn't make sense if i also hc that they're the ones who#helped him get his job (or at least his foot in the door.) he's just def not a catholic.#but wait HMMMMM what if that was another point of rebellion/contention. he started in the catholic church but it never Felt Right#not as a priest but something very like. beginner. idk maybe even a youth minister there too.#having a job that's Almost It is so hard jbmkbg okay anyway. it makes his parents really happy and he stays for uhhhh probably less than#a year but probably more than a couple of months bc it's been sooooo long since he was able to make them happy.#but it doesn't make HIM happy at least not exactly. catholicism never did (he strikes me as a catholic school kid probably through#all his schooling so he's known for a long time that a lot of it doesn't resonate.) and maybe this is where mary comes in.#and maybe she gives him the confidence he needs to find a church that's more aligned with his beliefs and his approach to faith.#there's a talk where she's like 'you're miserable and this is going to be your life if you don't get away from what's making you miserable'#sad and foreshadowy bc. well.#so he goes to Thee Maple Bay Church that we see in canon. he's not in the cul-de-sac yet. this is also before he and mary were even dating.#and maybe that's part of what makes her fall for him. it takes a lot of strength to leave your job and your family's church.#she sees him as a guy who takes action. this is also sad foreshadowing.#god this is SO JUICY fjbmigkj#but what is he now you may ask???? still no idea <3#the christiansen mess
