#catholic wave

[marysbrighteststar]

the anti-aging industry is disgusting. we will inevitably age, you don’t have to inject your face with botox and drink from specialized straws when you can just face reality.

aging is beautiful. God created us this way, and we should allow ourselves to feel life to its full extent instead of fearing our beauty being lessened.

when your worth is placed on character instead of outer-appearance, you will glow with happiness, and that’s what truly makes someone gorgeous forever.

Heh, so, I come from a fandom where character names have major significance, which means I promptly checked for that with Warrior Nun. I already knew a lot of catholic lore due to reasons, which meant I could guess certain character arcs, but boy howdy am I glad I checked some hunches.

Ava Silva, given the show's setting, would be Eve (rather than one of the convergent latin or germanic origins, with different meanings). Eve is the english translation of 'chavah', which is more description than name proper. Which in turn (very) roughly translates from hebrew as "giver/protector of life". This role of the mother remains unchanged by expulsion from Eden.

Notice how the halo always gives out quickly if used for violence, aggression or the taking of life, but ramps up like a champ if protecting and/or healing, even if it appeared to have gone empty moments earlier? While it is controlled through mental state, especially the one triggered by meditative thought, it clearly prioritizes the preservation of life. Eg; when Suzanne fell into despair and probably felt like dying over the prior Mother Superion's death, the halo made a quick exit.

Shotgun Mary: Mary Magdalene, the apostle of apostles, was the closest to Jesus (the halo-bearer) and witnessed his death. Eventually gets conflated with Mary of Bethany, and subsequently slandered every which way. Since the show's character seems to have a criminal background, she's likely meant to be both of them.

Lilith: From jewish mythology and folklore. The first woman, created to be equal to man, and rejecting subservience. Lots of story variations for her. Might've hooked up with the archangel Samael, after which she could not return to the garden of eden because that angel was kind of a demon, and subsequently becomes the mother of all demons. So show Lilith was first in line of halo succession, was robbed of that role by Ava, went to another realm, hooked up with a fallen archangel, but ultimately refused subservience to him.

Sister Beatrice: Saint Beatriz da Silva (*coughs pointedly*), a beautiful and accomplished illegitimate child of a nobleman, raised in a royal court, but wound up imprisoned in a tiny cell. (A proverbial closet, one might say). Went on to found a new order after she was freed. I don't think I even need to add to this one.

Sister Camila: Saint Camilla Battista, a vivacious young noblewoman fond of musical arts, who experienced numerous visions, and struggled with temptation. Show Camila is indeed slightly whimsical, musical, and enduring unwanted visions of an ex-archangels (and therefore arch-demon) and his pitiful idea of temptation.

Miguel: the Archangel Michael who appears at the moment of death, offering salvation. Yup, goes to the show's version of Eden, comes back super-powered, but his function is to mete out death. Pretty straight-forward.

Anyone else utterly obsessed with this sculpture? I’m pretty sure the women is BV Mary and something about seeing her depicted as an elderly women grieving over the body of her son it’s just one of the most captivating things I’ve seen.

Sometimes I get a bit in my own head and think, "Was high school really that bad, or did I just think of it that way because I was a kid at a time? Sure, it was horrific for my sister because she was bullied, but I don't think it was that bad altogether. Maybe things were actually ok. Maybe I could've turned it around." And then I remember the time my school put on a production of Hairspray with an all-white cast and half the kids in blackface.

#the kids you could wave away as theatre kids from a majority white town that genuinely didn't know any better #but this was conceived constructed funded and then sold by adults #there were like three middle eastern kids in the entire school and there wasn't even any of them involved #y'know the real crazy thing? #they put on an anti segregation show IN A CATHOLIC SCHOOL

Do evangelical Protestants who believe in the rapture and want the end times to happen realize they’re doing suicidal ideation ?

Like sure they’d benefit from therapy

But I honestly struggle to comprehend that most adults of a very large denomination don’t realize they’re worshiping and praying for a prophesy of death and destruction to be fulfilled

#like I know a bunch wave it off by saying they’ll be raptured and get to go to heaven #and I know the Left Behind series freaked out a bunch in those circles #but then it weirdly defended them so it’s like who knows #but there has to be SOME people who go wait this is us wanting to speed run thru life for the promise of death this doesn’t sound healthy #and like mainline Protestants and Catholics aren’t death cults like this #so I genuinely have to wonder why there’s a lack of awareness #I guess I have to consider cult dynamics
