“Oh the men in lotr are so fantastic” ITS BECAUSE THE GUY WHO WROTE IT UNDERSTOOD MASCULINE VIRTUE (CATHOLIC)

My mom and my catholic friend helped me become ‘reborn’ and Jesus talked directly to me through a book, he told me we were chill and he loved me and stuff. I was very shocked that Jesus Christ was just suddenly talking to me through books.

"May of the Maid" continues with a story-arc featuring Joan's real-life rival mystic?!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY:

1. The Source: This cartoon is based off people who are mentioned briefly in St. Joan of Arc's trial. Here are some relevant passages (translated by W. S. Scott):

1a. Extorting Peasants / Housewifery: "This Catherine said [...] that a woman appeared, a white lady, dressed in cloth of gold, who told her to go through the good towns, and that the king would give her heralds and trumpets to proclaim that whoever had gold, silver, or treasure should at once bring it forth; and that she would know those who did not and those who had hidden it; and would know where to find the treasure; and it would serve to pay Jeanne's men-at-arms. To which [Jeanne] had answered that [Catherine] should return to her husband, and look after her household and children."

1b. Too Chilly: "Asked if she had spoken to Catherine de la Rochelle concerning going to La Charité, [Jeanne] replied that Catherine did not advise her to go there; saying that it was too cold, and she ought not to go."

1c. Premature Truce: "[Jeanne] said also to Catherine, who wished to go to the Duke of Burgundy to make peace, that it was her opinion that they would find no peace save at the lance's point."

2. The Characters: Brother Richard was a Franciscan friar and a doomsday preacher. In 1429, he was prophesying the end times in 1430. He was incorrect, but before people knew that, his sermons stirred whole cities. He also seemed to try and befriend any female mystics (women with visions) he came across, probably to boost his legitimacy. Catherine de La Rochelle was one of these mystics. She and Joan might've started out as friends, but Joan eventually came to suspect Catherine of being a fraud and told the king so. As you might guess, that didn't go over well with Brother Richard or Catherine. It might be because their relationship ended on a sour note that Joan is so short in her answers to questions about them during her trial.

The strangest thing about being an agnostic is the fact that you don't just piss off Christians, but also atheists, because you honestly criticize the faith you grew up in (For me it's Christianity, that's why I mentioned Christians) and how fucking hypocrites they are, and talking about it out loud makes Christians angry because it is an attack on their faith, or "Not all Christians are like that!" because according to them, being a bigot and trying to force God down your throat in order to "convert you", or treating you like shit because they think you're stupid is something God told them to do

And less daring to explain why you don't like God himself (Because of his narcissistic personality, if you don't obey him, you are evil, even if it's an order to kill someone, and you have too much empathy, it's bad because you disobey the order) then you they will come and say that you have to criticize Judaism and Islam, yes, christians still deny that all three faiths have the same God, but from different time zones

You piss off atheists because you talk about Christians and how they frustrate you, or because you don't attack Islamists, please, I won't attack a faith I don't know, I have some inhibitions

Christians and atheists have one thing in common, they are Islamophobic (Not all of them, but it's something they both have in common and it's terrifying), and yet they attack each other, which is comical

I also met atheists for whom you are not religious enough if you do not obey the church 100%, so my mother is not Catholic although she is older than these freaks in cassocks

This pisses me off, Christians and atheists think that if you are religious you automatically have to listen to people who lie about the Bible, my mother believes in God, not in the church, so according to them she is not religious -_-

Moreover, according to Christians, you are an atheist, but according to atheists, not so much

As an agnostic, you don't need God to live, you won't say 100% that he doesn't exist, because let's face it, we don't know the world 100%, although he may not be the only higher being, because it should be mentioned that Judaism was the first faith with one God , and Yahweh was not entirely of their faith, in short, they took one God from paganism and began to say, that he is the only God and the rest are impostors

So yes, we cannot confirm or deny whether there is a God or whether he is the only God as the Abrahamic faith says

Since there are hints of reincarnation, or the existence of spirits themselves, and this is not from any Abrahamic faith, you can guess that we cannot 100% say whether things from other faiths are lies or not, you can believe in one God , but don't harass others for believing in more, even if it's a sin, it's none of your business, because it's their life and you have no right to interfere with it with your shoes

So yes, being an agnostic is just weird

You are pissing off both, believers and atheists, because you have the nerve to talk about what you don't like about the behavior of believers, just as you are talking about atheists, it pisses me off because Christians used to persecute atheists (And tortured them in order to convert them), so that's it sucks that atheists do the same to other people today

And that's depressing

Cecilia was the first to go

This has been a tough day, may I request prayers for my little girl please 🙏

please please please pray for my Papa, he's 85 and something happened with his hernia or his stomach. The ambulance is on its way to his house and my daddy is going over there, but we don't know much right now. Please keep us in your thoughts. His name is Ralph, please pray for him.

Even if you aren't religious, please say a Hail Mary or Our Father for us. Thank you.

I'll update with more news

Please pray for me. I’m dealing with a lot of anxiety and my mother and I aren’t really getting along right now. I’m really low on energy and it’s hard for me to do anything, which is making her disappointed and annoyed with me. I’m very scared that we’ll have a fight and things will get worse. Prayers are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

After quite a few months of searching, my mom finally found the St. Francis of Assisi statue she wanted!! My newest project, she wants me to paint the entire statue (except the base). See you soon!

On Pentecost day, confirmation by the Bishop
