Daily reminder that Mother Teresa was a shitty person who said that AIDS was god’s punishment to gay people for being gay and that pain brought people closer to god so she didn’t upgrade the awful conditions of her clinics.
She died with $100 million in multiple bank accounts.
Her clinics had to REUSE NEEDLES DURING THE AIDS EPIDEMIC BECAUSE OF HER. She was a glorified serial killer.
She had nuns secretly “baptize” Hindus and Muslims as they were dying while pretending to pat their heads with wet rags.
She got top notch medical care when she needed it, but again, her patients weren’t being cared for properly and she told them to their faces that they had to suffer like Jesus. She didn’t have to suffer, though. Paraphrasing this conversation between her and a dying patient:
MT: your suffering is because Jesus is kissing you.
Man suffering: can you ask him to stop kissing me?
MT: 🥰🥰🥰🥰
(she didn’t get that he was angry for what she was saying)
Not sure why she was considered a Saint but I suppose you can buy a sainthood.

Every day during that month-long visit in Rome was fascinating, but one day in particular was important. I borrowed a journalist's identification card and went into St. Peter's for one of the major sessions. Sitting in the section reserved for the press, I saw in the distance a multitude of cardinals and bishops—old men in crimson dresses. In another section of the basilica were the "auditors": a group which included a few Catholic women, mostly nuns in long black dresses with heads veiled. The contrast between the arrogant bearing and colorful attire of the "princes of the church" and the humble, self-deprecating manner and somber clothing of the very few women was appalling. Watching the veiled nuns shuffle to the altar rail to receive Holy Communion from the hands of a priest was like observing a string of lowly ants at some bizarre picnic. (In retrospect it seems to have been an ant-poisonous picnic.) Speeches were read at the session, but the voices were all male, the senile, cracking whines of the men in red. The few women, the nuns, sat docilely and listened to the reading of documents in Latin, which neither they nor the readers apparently understood. When questioned by the press afterward, the female "auditors" repeatedly expressed their gratitude for the privilege of being present. Although there were one or two exceptions, for the most part they were cautious about expressing any opinion at all. Although I did not grasp the full meaning of the scene all at once, its multileveled message burned its way deep into my consciousness. No Fellini movie could have outdone this unintended self-satire of Catholicism.

nobody could decide which stories they wanted me to share. they want me to share all of them 😭😭
i’ll start with jesus and john and why i think they’re gay for each other, supported by biblical evidence provided by Seton Catholic Homeschooling of America.
• i took this course in my tenth grade year. i was only homeschooled for 9th and 10th grade. i was public schooled before then, and later went to boarding school for my last two years of hs. but that’s another post.
this is a long post. buckle in. i’ll have it all below the cut
• i no longer have the textbook title, and only have pictures from this text book that i took in a delusional haze when reading this in my catholic mother’s household, hoping that she wouldn’t look through my phones photos to find these images.
this is all from a catholic standpoint, other forms of christianity are not accounted for. if you do not want to see GAY CONTENT ABOUT JESUS, move along
this post is about to unlock so much of my old hyperfixation on the catholic church that i had before leaving.
first of all, as backstory for those who don’t know john:
• john is one of jesus’ twelve disciples and wrote the Gospel of John (I, II, and III) which is a hella important book in the new testament (the second half of the bible.)
• the books of john tell the story of jesus’ life from birth to death. now, that’s kinda gay to write about another man that much, hmm.
• john has also earned the affectionate title of: “The Beloved Disciple”
• he is also traditionally credited with writing Revelations (also known as Apocalypse, which tells how the world is gonna end. fun right!!), though scholars are unsure if he wrote it, or a different john wrote it.
okay, now onto the gay stuff:
• most people jokingly ship judas and jesus because of the angst of judas’ betrayal to jesus. however, i disagree.
• though, knowing their ages, shipping jesus and john would be quite problematic these days, it was quite an acceptable age gap back then. jesus was around the ages of 30-33 at the time of his death, and john was a young adult, about 18. (yikes)
• my evidence begins with the way john writes about himself and jesus in the Gospel of John. in his gospel, he never calls himself john. you guys know what he calls himself in his gospel?? “the discipline whom jesus loved”
😐
sir. could you be ANY more obvious??
so far, all of this info is directly from my catholic textbook.
WOW! that page unpacks a lot. let me elaborate on the way john leaned up on jesus’ chest. first of all, that’s a real bible quote. let’s go:
John 13:23-25
• “23 One of his disciples, the one Jesus loved, was at the table to the right of Jesus in a place of honor. 24 So Simon Peter gestured to this disciple to ask Jesus who it was he was referring to. 25 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved leaned back against Jesus’ chest”
the passage then goes on to john (the disciple whom jesus loved) asking jesus who’s gonna betray him.
• to FURTHER add to this gay af moment, there are PAINTINGS of it, completed by MULTIPLE artists. i’m going to provide the image in my textbook, and then images found online that i particularly enjoy.
above: lovely image! i cannot remember the artist for the life of me.
above: Jesus and John at the Last Supper by Valentin de Boulonge
above: Last Supper by Plautilla Nelli (portions of the image were cropped)
above: cannot find artist’s name.
• if you are interested in finding hundreds more of images like this, all you need to type into google is “john leaning on jesus”. you’ll get the images you need. trust me
• those were my largest pieces of evidence, but there are smaller ones i’d like to share. the textbook helped “gay it up”. i think the author of this textbook was a closeted homosexual. cause no way did a straight person write this thinking “hmmm that’s totally platonic and not at all queer, cause that’s how i feel about MY best friend.”
here’s direct textbook images:
• hmmm man who was closest to him you say???
• “intimate relationship with God”
• best friend? 🤔 are we sure about that?
• symbol of his greater love?
• AND he was the first to recognize jesus??
• y’all. they’ve got to be shitting me atp. no way were they not In Love
and finally, from my study questions:
y’all. special favors? exceptional love?
this textbook had me GOBSMACKED. jaw DROPPED. WDYM THAT JESUS AND JOHN WERE DEFINITELY IN LOVE???
conclusion:
• i HIGHLY recommend you looking up more pictures of john laying on jesus.
• i think of john/jesus as canon. there’s too much evidence to support my point. including The Bible. judas/jesus is like what fanfics are for. they’re the pair that everyone wishes happened in canon, but the authors sucked, so it didn’t.
• literally, drop any questions in the reblogs and comments. i’ll be HAPPY to answer.
(and jesus/judas shippers, i hope i changed your mind.)

I hate how Christianity basically took Jewish mythology, Roman and middle eastern traditions and celebrations and made up their whole book about it and then get outraged when you call them out on that.
Like yeah Samantha, your cannibal hippie god was born in spring, you celebrate it in December because that's when Saturnalia is. He wasn't crucified in spring either, but in around November. And it's called Easter after the middle eastern goddess of fertility who's symbol are rabbits.
I hate Christianity for a lot of things, but the appropriation of other holidays is just beyond me.
