“Lots of Catholics don’t give a shit about the teachings of the faith!”

So? That just means they’re wrong.

This German art student, Benjamin Harff, decided, for his exam at the Academy of Arts, to do something only slightly ambitious — to hand-illuminate and bind a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. It took him six months of work. He hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book.

if i unfollow someone it’s bc i don’t want to see certain things on my dash not because i’m trying to send some Message™️ or anything. yeah it’s a bummer to lose a mutual but you don’t have to read more into it than necessary and that’s taken me a while to learn

mutual culture is so toxic tbh bc it makes me feel like i have to tolerate things that make me uncomfortable or that i just rather would not see because i don’t want to make someone mad or hurt their feelings and that’s so annoying lol

moral of the story is i’m gonna try to keep my dash a place that makes me happy and also assume others are just doing the same

I really wish some radtrads would realize that Pope Francis allowing discussion surrounding female deacons and married priests at the Amazon Synod doesn’t mean he has a secret, evil, progressive plot to bring these things into the Church, especially since he’s spoken against BOTH things in the past and failed to even bring them up as possibilities in the final document.

I kinda saw it as a “go. Do the research. ... Oh you’re back. Good. Find anything? No? Okay cool, now can we stop talking about this? Please?”

Hopefully all the Catholics who were attacking the Holy Father so unfairly over this issue learn to be a bit more charitable and patient in their discussions surrounding the Pope. Pope Francis, like every human being, has his faults but we have to remember that God still reigns in Heaven and on Earth, and yes, that includes in the Vatican.

I know the cynical viewpoint is that it is a bare minimum expectation that the Pope would not change the discipline of priestly celibacy on a whim. But in the face of significant worldwide pressure to do so from both within and without the Church, I still believe credit is due for not taking the “easy” road by just giving in to the demands of the world to the great disappointment of the faithful at large.

Rule #2

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,

So don’t ever hug a lobster, simply put, it’s impolite.
