#Protestant rosary

[aprillikesthings]

There is something deeply funny to me about the fact that, of people who pray the rosary (at least in the United States); the Catholics tend to be super conservative, and the Episcopalians/Anglicans tend to be gay.

#source: I am a lesbian Episcopalian and I pray the rosary #queer anglicans tend towards 'high church' in general #which....actually makes sense when you think about it #'can we make church FANCIER? yes we can!' #christianity #anglican #episcopal #I always wonder about the woman in that small town in Spain #who had the hand-knit rainbow cardigan #she didn't speak any English and my Spanish is awful #so I couldn't ask her if she was lgbt/an ally or if she just liked rainbows! #but she lead the rosary prayers in that small town's church and stamped my credencial #given that Spain is one of the better countries for lgbt people who knows??? #ANYWAY #this post brought to you bc Notre Dame (the college) had a drag queen perform on campus #and conservative students prayed the rosary outside the theater in protest #and I lol'ed bc y'all the rosary is not gonna remove the gay cooties #Our Blessed Mother loves her queer children

Something something the devil hates Mary, that's why you feel like you shouldn't pray a rosary

#this is a sliver of a much larger thought that is on my mind any time i pray a rosary #this is EXPLICITLY. let me say EXPLICITLY. @ Catholics #IE i am not writing this as a short snappy post @ protestants who dont believe in catholic marian dogmas #this post is and the eventual full thought-out advice post will be a reflection on stuff i think about everytine i finish praying a rosary #versus right before praying a rosary #and just like advice on how to think your way through it #but am sleepy and dont wanna write it on my phone because i want it to be organized #not queued #reflection on my real life happenings

wait wait wait wait stop hang on stop

Does Balckthorne take Mariko's cross/rosary when he's standing there acting as her second after she pulls it off? Does he still have her cross/rosary now?????

#like hang on. I gotta sit down somehow more than I already am #I can't recall if it's JUST a cross or it's her rosary if he still has her rosary and his protestant ass clings to that to remember her #I'll simply throw myself off the goddamn roof like I AM HOLLERING #shogun #fx shogun #shogun spoilers

me when people refer to laura lee as catholic

#guys please she is not catholic she is so clearly protestant i will scream #people just default to catholic when they see christian for some reason #and it drives me INSANE with laura lee in particular because she’s so clearly Not!!! #i think the only thing she does that could possibly link her to catholicism is cross herself Once #which some protestants also do!! #she never prays the rosary she wears a cross instead of a crucifix she never talks about mary or a patron saint or anything GUYS #i know this happens because most of the fandom is secular and therefore doesn’t know much about the differences btwn catholics & protestants #but still. please. if ur gonna be talking abt a christian character do your research instead of saying things you don’t actually know #it drives me so bonkers #laura lee #yellowjackets #laura lee yellowjackets #yellowjackets laura lee #yj

ah yeah it's saturday and the school year's started. explains the protesters on my way to the metro station

#i passed someone holding a 'washington commits infanticide' side and i was just like. ah sidewalk prayer is back on again yeah? #*lives next to a planned parenthood #*school has a regular and well-attended 'sidewalk prayer' event on saturdays where people go and pray the rosary/protest outside it #happened during the summer too but attendance massively ticks up when students are on campus #pp posts up volunteers outside with hi vis 'escort' vests to help people Trying To Get Healthcare avoid too much harassment every week #i guess the people who just show up to pray are annoying but not disruptive. the people with angry signs and shouting suck ass though #it's annoying that they all treat pp like an abortion factory still though when that place does literally so many other things #they have a big banner out front advertising primary care services #and they'll see you for migraines. internal medicine. stuff like that. not just reproductive health although of course that's important #like honestly of i didn't already have an appointment booked across the city i'd probably move to seeing doctors there #hell of a lot more convenient. even if you have to deal with the demonstrators outside. but at least they're usually constrained to saturday #i wanna talk about me

why are people tagging ethel cain on posts with catholic aesthetics/doctrine she's literally protestant

#we get it y'all got the cool churches and vibey aesthetics #you've got rosaries and crucifixes y'all can grapple with your religious trauma in stained glass and stone statues #please just let us have this #ethel cain #faith #faith tag #protestant #evangelical

Before reading Dracula Daily I never would have guessed that in the original novel Dracula was defeated by the power of friendship and the Real Presence

#dracula daily #it’s finally over…kind of sad I loved this so much #you know maybe Dracula knew what he was about when he decided to move to a majority Protestant country #where the blessed sacrament and rosaries are less abundant #anyways best book club of all time #it’s been an honor folks #Dracula

#reblog I want to see how out of hand this gets #rosaries #catholic #protestant #polls

[misericordae]

working in an industry will give you some specific ass opinions. paracord rosaries my beloathed (impossible to put in the hands nicely)

#script #mind you i already had objections on aesthetic grounds. we're not protestants get outta here with that dumpy shit #but normal rosaries drape naturally over the hands! these r so stiff n awkward!

[givethetwinkaflamethrower]

Maybe it's bc I was raised Catholic but I just cannot take the Stage Break seriously

#like leedo and seoho as priests??? #a bare bones confessional booth??? #saying the rosary during confession??? #v little crucifixes??? #not to mention priests don't wear black during normal mass #maybe protestants do??? #oneus

I’d been listening to a recording of nuns saying the rosary on my walk home from work sometimes, but apparently Spotify lost the rights to it 🥲

The nuns did it call and response style, and they had lovely voices, and some nice music in the background. You could even hear the tinkle of their beads here and there. It was really soothing, bordering on ASMR.

I resentfully looked up other recordings, but for some reason all I could find were solo men doing it, and a couple of them also had tradcath podcasts they advertised in the summaries of their rosary recordings

No thank you 😤

#my life #(‘aren’t you Protestant?’ the Episcopal church is fine with Marian devotion #it’s not required but it’s also not discouraged #just like anything else in the Episcopal church it varies a great deal #but I’m hardly the first or last Episcopalian to do the rosary)

i'm curious as to why you put so much stock in the church as the mouth of truth when the catholic church maintains that being in queer relationships is dirty and sinful, and that being trans is disordered and sinful?

TBH anon I wish I knew, because then it wouldn't really have chokehold on me.

I guess it's because I converted to Catholic at a vulnerable time in my life, and immediately believed hook/line/sinker that it was the only church founded directly by Jesus. It was a faith-saving thing to believe in Catholic doctrines like the communion of saints and transubstantiation and the Holy Spirit guiding the magisterium.

I did NOT know that the Church was anti-queer when I converted, as a totally sheltered ex-WELS person I thought they were opposite of WELS where it mattered. Two years into my Catholicism I found out, and I was devastated, but by then I already was so entrenched in Catholic ecclesiology that I thought if I left I'd be basically leaving God too. So yeah, I don't think the Church is right on queer rights, or on trans stuff. I think their doctrines on that are objectively horrible.

So it's less that I assent to believing the Church is the only mouth of truth, but that it comes closer than any other church I've encountered, and that I am having a hard time stopping believing that Jesus directly founded it through the apostles. I know that the Church teaches bad things in that regard and has also had horrible leaders on many occasions. But like, when I look at Protestant history and I go, none of these Protestant founders are perfect holy folks either. Basically I less cling to church as mouth of truth than I can't ungraft it somehow, at least I haven't managed yet.

#I feel like I'm not explaining well #feel free to send a clarifying ask anon #also remember I've been part of some shitty protestantism #I've seen the fruits of sola scripture and they SUCK when used by conservatives #like I am no fan of Luther either #or Calvin #I haven't found a protestant theology I can abide yet #if anyone knows of one that holds not to total depravity and allows rosary praying hmu #the only one I know of is Episcopal #and all the parishes near me seem to be dying off sadly #:(

hello!! i just wanted to wish you a happy new year and i also wanted to encourage you on starting catechism! i too came from a protestant background and was slowly getting directed towards catholicism, so i do understand the struggle of now believing something we spent our whole lives hearing it was wrong.... I think that catechism will be good for you to test the waters, i really believe catholicism is the right one and i will pray God helps you make whatever decision He thinks is best! ps: praying to mama Mary is extremely helpful as well, she will always guide us to be closer to Jesus! <3

Thank you 💕💕 It's so good to find people who had the same struggle!

I felt extremely inclined to pray the rosary, but was kind of afraid. If protestantism is right I'm going to be doing a terrible thing against God. But the more I learn about catholicism the more I find it to be right.

I hope everything works out, the idea of changing churches is too hard sometimes, I hope I can do it right.
