“Carved with astonishingly minute detail, this rosary bead probably was created with the help of a magnifying lens. When opened, it forms a triptych. On the left is the Journey to Bethlehem and the Nativity; in the center is the Journey of the Magi, complete with horses and camels, followed by their Adoration of the baby Jesus and offering of gifts; and on the right is the Presentation of the Child in the Temple at Jerusalem. The Latin inscription is the text of Psalm 71:10, which refers to kings of Arabia and Saba and is associated by Christians with the Magi.
Adam and Eve appear on the outside of the wings. The Crucifixion of Jesus occupies the lower half of the bead.” source: The Met

anyway, Pope Francis is dumb as hell, he praises Russia's anti-Catholic, barbaric history.
russians: persecute catholics and destroy their country (e.g. after they invaded poland, they closed many roman catholic churches and turned them into orthodox churches, they did not allow people to build catholic churches, they persecuted priests, they hanged many priests who were against russian occupation, Tsarina Catherine personally forbade any contact with Rome, Nicholas I closed many monasteries, churches in poland (1832), he stole their property (1842), he sent many priests to forced labour, e.g. they sent many to Siberia for hard labor, + they especially hated and persecuted greek catholics/byzantine rite catholics)
Pope Francis: what a wonderful legacy 😍

Pray the Rosary; Satan Hates It
And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered. And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on his heads seven diadems: And his tail drew the third part of…

My icon i wrote of the Magdalene was blessed at Mass this morning, in the orthodox fashion (or as close as one can get in the Western rite) - the vicar slipped it under the corporal, and the elements were consecrated upon it.
Deo gratias!

There is no such thing as progressive Roman Catholicism.
I see people acting like you can be a Roman Catholic and, for example, a queer ally, but those things are in conflict with eachother. In the end, you have to choose what ethics do you follow.
Your spirituality is yours, but the Church is an organisation with its own ideology and practices. No matter if you agree, its official doctrine is bigoted in many ways. No matter how appalled you are, the covering up of pedophilia is systemic. By aligning yourself with the Roman Catholic Church you are supporting the organisation doing all of that and more, and it's no longer a matter of your personal religious life. For the priests' services you're trading the lives of your most vulnerable neighbours.
I know it can be extremely hard, even terrifying, to leave after being indoctrinated. But some things are beyond repair. You can practice some form of Christianity in ways that don't harm other people. If you are not a bigot, you are likely already a heretic anyway by the Vatican's standards.
Only when the Church will loose lay people's support it can lose its power to destroy lives.
