Something about how Jason Todd’s core character trait is how he lost faith. He lost faith in Shiela, in Bruce, in the entire concept that someone else can care about him and actually have his best interests at heart.
Something about how Catholic priest Flashpoint Jason Todd is someone who has such intense faith, who trust so heavily in someone basically unprovable. Something about how without Bruce, without being Robin, it was his faith that was his core character trait.
Something about how being Robin and the life he was led into changed him in such a tragic and deep seeded way. I don’t know

Thinking about priest Jason Todd and realizing that would be really fucking funny if he was just this die hard catholic.
Damian, invading his safe house again messing around like a little shit: What do you keep in this drawer? Tt- It's probably a knife.
Jason: My Bible.
Damian:
Damian: Your what?
Jason, deadpanned: My Bible.
---
Dick: I know I will regret this
Dick: What's up with the altar candle's in front of Virgin Mary?
Jason: I pray for each soul I take.
Dick: I'm sorry– you what?
Jason: Each sould I take. When I kill people. So they find their way into purgatory. How do you think they are getting in hell? I light the candle, I pray for them *Looking at the candles* Your welcome.

In the middle of a shooting with almost a hundred henchmen
Jason, whispering: If we get out of here alive I'll walk the entirety of Gotham's church stairs on my knees.
The signal, next to him: Because that definitely won't be nothing disturbing. Early mourning fuckin Redhood, walking on his knees to a church. You usual Sunday in Gotham city.
Jason: Shut up asshole I'm praying.

Batman, inside of a church at nine pm doing an investigation: What are you doing here?
Jason lifting his head up from the church pew, holding his hands: The fuck look like I'm doing?

hi :) what’s one of your favourite Jason headcannons?
that he’s hispanic and catholic, those are pretty near and dear to me.
hispanic just bc i like the representation and his canonical fluency in spanish but catholic bc i like the angst that comes with the juxtaposition of his death and his faith. the fact that in dc people who go to hell and come back always recall it, means jason went to heaven and never gets to remember it.
he comes back with such righteous anger and self loathing and such a deep sense of justice in part because he views himself as unworthy of his heaven but his god didn’t - he just doesn’t know it.
that means a lot to me.

DC Comics Incorrect Quotes Pt 237
Harley: I'm Harley, I make jokes when I'm uncomfortable.
Jason: Why don't they make stained glass fish tanks? Give those fish catholic guilt.
Selina: Fascinated by the implication that it's the stained glass that gives catholics the guilt.

Maybe I've just missed it, but I feel like there's not enough discussion on Catholic Jason Todd and his feelings on being seemingly resurrected by God Jeesie-Chreesie style.
Like, we as the readers know that it was a reality bending punch from Superboy Prime that brought Jason back, but in canon no one has any explanation at all for how that happened.
The Lazarus Pit fixed him, but he was already alive (just in super bad shape) to be fixed. He woke up in his own coffin and had to claw out of his own grave and no one in-universe can explain how or why it happened.
And that alone would fuck someone up, but add in Catholic Guilt (TM) and references to the resurrection floating around every Easter and Jason's gotta wonder at least a little bit if the Big G brought him back and if so has to absolutely agonize over what he's done with his big second chance.
I just wanna read 100k words of Jason's complicated feelings on his death, rebirth (resurrection?), Red Hood, God, Bruce and what it all means, if anyone's got any recs please share them I'm begging 😭

Damian petting the Batcow:
Jason: What she got?
Damian: She's sick.
Jason: Give me her name, I'll put her in my prayers.
Damian:
Damian: You seriously think God going to magically cure her?
Jason: No dumbass. It's saint– (pause) DICK WHO WAS THE SAINT THAT CURE ANIMALS AGAIN?
Dick (from the kitchen): SAINT FRANCIS
Jason: Saint Francis it's goings to magically cure her.
Damian: That's stupid.
Jason: You want the prayer or not.
Damian narrowing his eyes, immediately: Batcow.
