Irish catholics: filled with shame always, are guilt singularities, deeply fearful of their mam’s finding out they didn’t go to mass.

Scottish catholics: healthy amount of guilt and shame, usually chill, same as the irish re: the mammy thing though.

French catholics: no shame, some guilt, guilt coped with by smoking.

Italian catholics: a bit of guilt, lots of fucking, lots of shame about said fucking.

Eastern eauropean catholics: not quite guilt or shame, more an all encompassing sense of dread. Unparalleled art and architecture though. Like honestly, amazing.

English catholics: fake and do not know god, most likely to burn on holy ground, most likely to commit arson.

specifically polish catholics: no guilt, no shame, lots of pent-up anger, will probably crucify you in the name of jesus, would spit at actual jesus and call him a filthy rat.

Mexican Catholics: guilt, self sacrifice, don’t have sex or you’ll die (but everyone does it anyway), pray to very specific saints to help with very particular issues, Virgin Mary is the real boss here, also death cult but in a happy way.

etherealiti777:

being raised catholic has its own magick even if u turn into a sinful satanic commie as an adult like imagine being raised protestant. smh no aesthetic no theatrics no swag

the disappointment yall feel with the MET gala is exactly what you should expect when yall ask a bunch of protestants to just make catholic aesthetic happen

protestants: i was inspired by the sisitine chapel for this piece

me, a catholic: but where is the sin? where is the undying fear of God? where is the sadistic passion for suffering? where is the overwhelming clash between lust, gluttony and the fear for God’s judgement upon the sins I am bound to fall for? what a waste

wokepriest:

the theme is Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination. It’s the hottest theme and you could get so sexy and blasphemous or even just straight up dropping in ornate gold and jewels, weeping Mary’s, bloody saints, the stigmata, holy robes repurposed into high fashion, but I guess we just get a bunch of boring assholes wearing played out versace pieces and basic jewel toned prom gowns

Actual Catholic aesthetics

girlfrommarial:

Large families attempting to fit into pews too small for them

Altar boys who can barely see over the altar

Accidently lighting your candle holder on fire because the Easter Vigil is so long

Tripping over your maxi skirt/cassock/habit

Genuflecting with the wrong leg

Falling asleep in adoration

Knowing the tune of the Latin hymns, but not quite the words yet

Conversely, responding in Latin to prayers in any other language

Tangled rosaries, scapulars, and headphones

15 passenger vans

Wishing others a happy new year on the first Sunday of Advent

Finding a restaurant to eat at that fits everyone’s Lenten penances

Being dragged by Saints who lived 100, 500, or even 1600 years ago

Getting accused of being morbid

But memento mori!

“Discovering” something that has been around for at least a few hundred years

Youth/young adults: “We want tradition!” Boomers: “See, the youth today want guitar music!”

Giving dirty looks to the adults (who should know better) who are having a conversation before- or even worse during– Mass

Falling asleep while kneeling

That resigned look while defending large families

Freaking out about your vocation

Having so many godchildren

Retreat highs

The same people in all the liturgical ministries each week

Coming up with nicknames for people you see at Mass

Coffee and donuts in the hall after Mass

“Pope St. John Paul II was the original hipster!”

Going to confession like the sorrowful sad sinner you are

Receiving communion reverently

Living the sacramental life
