Oh no! I just read up on him and he seems delightful.

First off, he's from Luxembourg! Particularly grew up in Vianden, which isn't really relevant to his character but they have an absolute smashing castle you should consider visiting

Anyway back to Cardinal Hollerich

Some of his views:

favours female deacons

wants to normalise homosexuality and supports the blessing of homosexual unions (this is huge!)

Open to relaxing priestly celibacy

tries to implement ecological changes in his personal life

He has a very firm disdeain for those who cling to conservative Catholicism

Condemnation of fornication, for example, is not biblical morality according to Hollerich but rather the remains of an out of date “bourgeois mentality of the nineteenth century.”

There it is.

and also:

The Church does not have all the answers, Hollerich believes, and so it is important to become humble, dialogue, and learn from the world rather than turning first to Christ and Revelation.

Also my phone autocorrect really doesn't like the name Edythe.

I think both can be true, but I agree. also EVERY TIME I type "edythe" on my phone, autocorrect is a nightmare 🤝 —Shannon

No, I haven't! One of my friend does though and all they had to say is "it's a love story", so that's interesting imo. Since I do know someone in there dies a lot. I do wonder how it handles Princesses though

Good enough for me!!!

I don’t consider myself a “theater kid” so to speak because I don’t seek out musicals and plays on my own nor did I ever consider being part of one, but every time I do watch a musical/play I get really into it. So I guess I’m a casual fan of the arts.

But there's also your childhood name, which is like only used by like close family members and otherwise is very insulting.

I think Wei Ying is his given name so it's just slightly informal or familiar rather than outright disrespectful.

I'm mainly getting this from watching Three Kingdoms TV shows where Cao Cao (given name) gets called Cao Mengde (courtesy name) when people are trying to be polite and respectful, and Cao Ahman (childhood name) when they're calling him the great traitor and threatening to tear him apart. So I might be missing some thing.

Oh no, Wei Ying is his actual childhood name!

I think in MDZS there aren’t 3 names for each person, just your childhood one and then the courtesy name. You get titles (?) too, but I don’t think they count as names. I read something in the glossary about how MXTX let the characters receive their courtesy names earlier and not when they’re like 20.

I’ve never read it! I know the author wrote Homestuck fanfiction and that in that universe there’s still a pseudo clown church and also a Barbie Vriska but I’m not sure about anything else.

I know it’s not a visual novel but would people be interested in my thoughts on it someday?
