Unveiling the Catholic Origins of the First Church.

The origins of the Christian Church are deeply intertwined with the emergence of a movement inspired by Jesus Christ’s teachings.  History reveals that the first Church was, in essence, Catholic. This assertion is rooted in the early Christian community’s connection to the apostles, the development of fundamental doctrines, and the establishment of foundational practices that eventually evolved…

just imagine rockstar! eddie releasing a new album, where one of the songs is called “a voice from above”. in it, he sings about a heavenly voice coming to him in the hardest, darkest hour of his life, when he was ready to give up and stopped seeing a future for himself, and calling him towards the light, coaxing the best out of him and pulling him up from the pit of despair eddie was slowly drowning in.

and it’s a rock ballad, so it differs quite a bit from cc’s usual style, is more “palatable” to the general public with it’s slower tempo, gentler melody and hauntingly beautiful vocals, with addition of a choir in the climax. and because of that, christians start claiming it (basically what happened with “take me to church”), newspapers and magazines wonder at eddie munson, the man a large part of whose aesthetic was so often referred to as “satanic” by the general public, with seemingly no denial from cc, who seemingly has finally found his way to religion.

and when cc comes to their next interview, the question of whether the great non-conformist eddie munson, who on multiple occasions dragged the christian church through the mud with accusations of hypocrisy and fostering bigotry in its midst in his songs and public speeches, has finally found god, inevitably comes up. the moment cc hear it they burst out laughing. after a while, eddie finally responds.

“this song is full of religious motifs, but not nearly for the same reasons you guys seem to think it is. it’s just that the experience the song is dedicated to was the closest i think i ever came to understanding what makes people come to real, genuine faith, the one that fills you with clarity, love and acceptance for the world around you, makes you feel like a part of something so much larger and greater than a mortal human being can possibly comprehend or reach on their own. that experience being the voice of the man that i came to love reaching me while i was in coma and reminding me of all the reasons life was worth fighting for, and then keeping inspiring me to be the best version of myself throughout my whole life.

and that, folks, is how being incredibly gay can save your life! i also don’t mind christians blasting “a voice from above” on their little church parties: my husband, after all, is definitely an angel on earth and absolutely deserves to be worshipped. but don’t you worry, i’m handling that pretty well on my own” and he winks at the camera.

and that’s how the world finds out that eddie munson is married.

oh okay heres one:

"sleepaway camp"= you go there for at least a few days, a week, sometimes several weeks, and sleep there, as opposed to a """camp""" where you go for the day and your parents or whoever picks you up afterward (those arent really camps, but like. idk when i went to "space camp" it was a weeklong but not sleepaway). in the U.S. at least, the typical image of a sleepaway camp involves staying in cabins, dunno how common it is/what it looks like in other countries.

for the first few i just mean like. not necessarily a stealth church camp, just like. idk, a camp where theres also an Assumption Of Christianity and just general vibes without being actually church camp. So, there might not be daily services and jesusy dedicatwd activities, but maybe theres still a prayer said over meals and shit. Which i assume might exist...

(oh and @reblogforsamplesize if u wanna)

Shadow and Bone changing Inej's first kill is the only change I'll defend with my life because the symbolism of her first kill being from a balcony IN A CHURCH to save Kaz's life and Kaz looking at her like he's just found religion while reassuring her that it's okay and she just saved his life........

barty and evan fake-proposing to each other in bars to get free drinks, until one day they get too drunk and end up overcommitting to the “bit”, which leads to them accidentally eloping in the shitty church next door with the bartender as a witness.

they’re still “just friends”, and they have their first kiss together at their wedding ceremony.

theres something so endearing about the church dancing scene and how the characters moves match their personalities.

kim’s dancing is solely based on footwork. it takes finesse, and you can *see* him thinking every step through, focussing his gaze to the floor. like hes trying to remember a dance he learned in his 20s during his juvie days. but he could “break the floorboards” with just how confident every step is. hes calculated, but assertive all at once.

then theres harry, who’s going absolutely insane on the dance floor— erratic, big movements that on their own seem completely impulsive and improvised —but they all seem to come together into one majestic disco infernum number. kind if like how he is as a detective and as a person in general; winging it, but doing so passionately with every single fiber in his bones. i remember busting into laughter when i first watched it. the mind boggling ordeal of watching a man in his 40s recovering from a three day bender bust such legendary moves on the dance floor was priceless. a truly amazing sight.

and then theres andre— the only youngster of the bunch —whos just straight up vibin, shuffling side to side. not moving much. nothing too out there, nothing fancy. if anything, it looks like hes mainly enjoying the scene before him; two random middle aged officers who came out of nowhere and helped them organize their night club, for no other reason than because “fuck yeah, music!”, letting lose and having fun on the dance floor with them. the “delinquents”. a part of him probably doesn’t believe it. its most likely the most positive interaction hes ever had with police officers in his life. but he lets it happen and enjoys himself like the chill guy he is.

its just such an absurd scene, its fun and energetic, but it still conveys so much without saying anything at all. truly one of the most, if not *the* most exciting and remarkable part of the game.
