Then I looked

Okay maybe this is a hot take, but as a Folk Catholic, there absolutely needs to be more accountability for Christianity in general for all of the terrible things that have been done in its name, especially the Catholic Church. I need you guys to read this carefully, I am not saying that all modern Christians are bad, or that they should be personally held responsible for the Crusades. What I am saying is Liberal/Leftist/Progressive Christians and Conservative/Traditional Christians have one thing in common and that is their Christianity. As leftist Christians, we need to seriously think about why Christianity has been co-opted by terrible people throughout history, and what we can do to stop it. One of the things we can do to stop our religion being run by bigots is by learning about the history of colonization, forced conversion, the crusades, the persecution of Jewish and Muslim people, Christian Nationalism, and many more topics that show the bad side of our faith. We must not only learn about these things, but face them head on. We cannot continue to sweep it under the rug. Because if we do, then it gives more power to Conservative Christians, since there is no one fighting against them. (Im thinking of starting a substack so I can get all my thoughts and ideas out in a more organized manner, but I just needed to get this out of my system.)

You’d think a Black Madonna saving the lives of two gay men who had been hate crimed, and then them celebrating her intervening for them by having gay sex would be something the Woke Left invented, but it’s Real and her name is Our Lady of Montevergine

Christ wears a simple tunic and eats mere bread. He did not walk on roads of carpets nor rode with a horse so magnificent. He was simple. He didn't merely deny pomposity, but he found it repulsive. He would not allow an ounce of gold or comfort touch him, don't you know he's allergic?

think the cutesy vaguely flippant libshit way a lot of people on this website treat christianity like it’s just a fun little fandom bothers me a lot because it’s like you realize this isn’t a story this is a violent ideology that has and continues to harm and kill people right. in a way it bothers me more than conservatism because conservative christianities are a warning in themselves, they take pride in but still acknowledge the harm of christian ideology. to cherry pick the cheerier parts of christianity at the expense of living alongside the horror it has exerted on the world is ignorant in a similar fashion as conservatism clinging to domination to the exclusion of love, its wishful thinking. if you can’t handle and sit with and embrace and talk about and work to expiate the guilt of christianity’s history in the world then you are in complete defiance of who christ is.

i'm really feeling the need to find some prayers for those struggling with mental illness if anyone has them

Touching grass is not enough, some of y’all need to touch the hem of His garment.
