Okay.
They offend me a lot.
They make presumptions about what a Catholic man “should be” and are just as bad as anyone saying that a Catholic woman “should be” a certain way.
They place unrealistic expectations…
Just everything about this. I already hated the “Hey Girl” meme (with the occasional exception of...

Wisdom (Sirach 24 5-8): "...Alone I have made the circuit of the vault of heaven and have walked in the depths of the abyss. In the waves of the sea, in the whole earth, and in every people and nation I have gotten a possession. Among all these I sought a resting place; I sought in whose territory I might lodge. Then the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and the one who created me assigned a place for my tent. And he said, 'Make your dwelling in Jacob, and in Israel receive your inheritance.'"
Me: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whenever I think about the implications of Wisdom Christology and the gender of Wisdom I could pee myself from excitement.

simplyorthodox replied to your post: Petition for everyone to STOP COMPLAINING about the president/nation apologizing for the “inadvertent” burning of Qurans by the U.S. military, as if such an apology were somehow an affront to Christianity.
What exactly happened? Could you explain? I am not informed about this.
There has been an uprising in Afghanistan, because evidently a United...

OMG, there are only three types, man. I am not any of them, ugh, there I go not existing again.
Like a bisexual unicorn. I’m sorry. Thanks to the internet when someone mentions not existing, even in a legit context, my first thought is that they are a bisexual unicorn.

crusadermaximus asked: Not a stupid question, very relevant given the contradiction that today is the neo-conservative right. The answer to marriage is of course to get government totally out of marriage, like it was here in the US before 1870, and around the world before the French Revolution. We don't want government constituting what a valid baptism is. We don't need government defining marriage either.
Today I nearly cracked my knee cap in an Aggressive Genuflecting Incident.

First I lamented that I didn’t have any Catholic friends.
Then I discovered tumblr Catholics and was relieved for a time. AND THEN I DISCOVERED ALL THE WONDERFUL, INTELLIGENT, MODERATE TUMBLR CATHOLICS. And now I’m back to where I started.

Rape culture has benefited enormously by appropriating concepts like body positivity and kink positivity and sex positivity and using them as way to shut down criticism. Every time I write something like this, I have to fight the urge to describe what a sex-loving, kinky girl I am, because I know that critiquing this shit will...

Hi um… stupid question. Why are we supposed to care so much about “traditional marriage”. Like why is that a voting issue? I have many many many complicated feelings and thoughts about homosexuality, gay marriage, and the Church’s teaching on the subject, but I don’t get why it’s a voting issue. If you just read the bible and the catechism, and really paid...

Yeah I’m baffled by that comment.
I’m pretty sure the logic is that a woman signs away her right to ever be empathized with as a person once she enters the convent, and also suddenly has the brain capacity of a toddler, rendering her incapable of watching movies and choosing a...
