I passed my MA exams. I can now say I have a Masters in History!

@redaloud I’m far from a trad. I’m radical.

[alluringskull @alluringskull]

Trans women, do the thing

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@adouro17 @TheLastNeocon Doesn’t have legitimate succession nor submits to Rome sadly.

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@NeverFadeAway01 Finally someone gets it!

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

I think what has pushed me to radical Catholicism is being trans and living in a world where this celebration of apathy has made its ways to heart of our empire.
Long live God.

The future depends on your ability to remain indifferent to this

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@NCRonline It is truly remarkable how Michael Winters can write for a Catholic magazine that is supposed to represent the most marginalized, while finding an excuse to marginalize transgender children in every article he writes.

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@NoahCur88319363 I will say that I find a lot of material within Catholicism to distance myself from the culturally Protestant nature of the American empire.
Catholicism is kinda occulty and communal in ways that come across as un American. We are (supposed to be) more loyal to Rome than DC.

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@rightscholar I can’t quite escape the sense that trad Catholics who want Protestants to return focus on apostolic succession which they treat as code for maintaining an all male priesthood, while understating the far larger theological issues of like…what the Eucharist means.

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@horusascent I won’t deny that many people in the Church sin and misuse the Church for in Christian purposes. But fundamentally Christianity is a slave’s religion. We accept that our purpose is to serve God, and that the highest act is to forfeit your life in that service.

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@NoahCur88319363 I’m not above the occasional dig at Protestants, but there are many who are far better Christians than many who’d call themselves Catholic. 💕
This world hates us and it hates us for being ourselves and loving our neighbors unconditionally.

@Milo_H4 Know that the Holy Spirit will be with you when you reach this moment of your life.

@ew_italians @Culro272440 Thank you, I wish more people felt it was cool. Usually I just am seen as delusional by both my fellow Catholics and then again by the queer community. As these comments show

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@Culro272440 I’m a cradle Catholic, but accepting myself as trans allowed me to truly process and internalize the radical things we are taught that most Catholics never have to truly contend with.

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@EdwardDarson Long live God.

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@Gyn_Rat Christ’s peace and joy be upon you, sister!

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@xthemasterand We know why.

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@R1714667 @Nathan__Stack Because I believe in the Eucharist and apostolic succession.

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@TheGnomeJarl @Someguy_391 @n1passer You answered the question already.

[TheGnomeWanderer @TheGnomeJarl]

All communists should be executed. No quarter for them, they will be disposed of.

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@TheGnomeJarl @Someguy_391 @n1passer Do you?

[Rebel Friend @RedSpecter4]

@TheGnomeJarl @Someguy_391 @n1passer If the justice of men condemns me to death, then I pray for the courage of martyrdom, and the Easter happiness found in the risen Lord.
