No one is beyond compassion or mercy. This is a basic Christian fact

My sister and Robbie were never able to have the time together they both so longed for, and deserved. And which, ever since, I've… Ever since I've always felt I prevented. So, in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I'd like to think this isn't weakness or evasion, but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness.

When I say I'm religious and christian I say it very tenuously because it's not the kind of christian my parents and my church are and that weird little dichotomy is messing with my perception of it I think. It's also why I don't really like labels or I don't get specific/respond when people ask me if I'm religious. Like yeah I believe in god but also I think the church is really messed up right now and are pushing values that directly go against the god they serve. Is god real to me? Perchance. Do I practice a religion? In a way, not the way my parents want me to, but it exists and it's personal to me. I think that's also why conclave means so much to me, especially when they had the homily about faith being a living thing, and about serving god not the curia. And "the church is what we do next" Fun! But yeah it's why I don't often respond when people ask me if I'm christian

Science and religion aren't enemies or "two sides of the same coin" they're girlfriends making out with tongue

just heard “turns out, shockingly, that you can’t pray away your gay thoughts because you can’t pray away your capacity for love” from a wise Christian queer man on a tiktok comp, and i thought it’d be wise to share
