Catholicism Stories

From the minute she is sent to Hatfield, Mary Tudor's life would never be the same again. When Mary Tudor receives the letter she has been dreading for years, it changes her world more than she ever could have imagined. In a realm where obedience is demanded and women are expected to bend, Mary refuses to yield. The once indulged and sheltered heir to the throne of England is cast into the brutal and harsh reality of a kingdom determined to silence her. Living as a prisoner, and forced to serve as a maid to her usurping half-sister, the daughter of Marys' deadly enemy, her ill-treatment will ultimately shape her life as a pious and determinedly stubborn woman, holding fast to her identity in a world that insists she has none. Through four more of her father's marriages, a battle of religious liberty with her once adoring brother and her increasingly strained relationship with her sister, Mary must draw on her remarkable bravery and determination to not only overcome the prejudices of her gender, but as a woman shaped by fire, faith, and the unshakeable belief that she, too, has the right to rule.

Christopher Cornell grew up in a household where Catholic doctrine was law. Suffocated by an abusive father, he found in atheism and music the only firm ground to stand on while spending his days working his family's traditional Italian farm. Exhausted from performing a faith that no longer belonged to him, he leaves the farm behind to sink his roots into the gray Portland of the 1990s, sharing a dilapidated apartment with his old friend, Eddie Vedder. Convinced he has left the shadow of religion behind, Chris doesn't expect destiny to cross his path with Beatrice-a novice of Neapolitan blood whose presence dazes him from the very first glance. To get closer to her, Christopher chooses deception as his shortcut. Masking the man who screams into microphones in filthy pubs and lives immersed in the underground scene, he steps back into the role he has always played with mastery: the charade of devotion to the sacred. What begins as a tender connection transforms into a deep and forbidden passion. Now, the sacred and the profane walk hand in hand beneath the burden of secrets and the heavy weight of faith.

Ranboo remembers the days when he would kneel at his bed to pray before the nuns turned out the lights and begged God that he'd be the next kid to go. He was a good kid; he was helpful, he was kind, he was humble, he was everything the nuns raised him to be. But nobody ever wanted him. Not even his own parents. (alternatively; ranboo's the oldest kid at a catholic orphanage. strange run-ins with mysterious people and strange abilities make him question everything he's ever known about the world and of himself. but maybe he'll get a new family out of it.) DISCLAIMER: This is based on the characters they play on the Dream SMP, not the actual CCs themselves. If anyone ever expresses discomfort with fanfiction, I will take this down.

"'My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness'" - Luke 1:46-47 I am really no one special. Just an ordinary Catholic trying to serve the God she loves. I can't guarantee that this book will be anything special, either, but if it is, it will all be thanks to Him. I'll be posting a new reflection every Sunday about a particular way that the readings from that day have inspired me. My hope is that you'll join me in reflecting on these passages. I may be no one special, but maybe together we can grow closer to the One who is. All quotes come from the New American Bible. Photo by Keegan Houser on Unsplash.

And so the big question is: "How do we inherit eternal life?" Well, we have to start somewhere. Materialism brought to attention in the form of a simple homily

I used to be a normal human, living on regular old earth. I always dreamed for something more though. My name used to be Aren, I was a teenage boy in high school. I never really fit anywhere, and I was always pretty lonely. I had an okay family, but they never took the time to get to know me for me. I've always enjoyed anime and fanfictions, and even certain TV series. One such series was Young Justice, I was obsessed with it. I always wished I could be reborn there and join their team. I had it all planned out too. I would fight alongside them, and be able to heal their wounds when they got hurt, as they never had a healer on their team in the show. I also very strongly believed in God, and hoped that I would be the teams angel if I were to join them. That was all just a dream though; It would never happen. Or so I thought. OC was reborn into the world of Young Justice as a Seraphim, the highest rank of angels one can be. He was given a divine duty to protect the planet, and all of God's children that reside on it. Along the way, he is discovered by the Justice League, as well as the Young Justice team. They hope to bring him to the team; the earths pure, new Seraphim. This fanfiction will make brief references to God, passages of the Bible, and other Catholic ideologies. Nothing political though. Please enjoy this story!

When 28-year-old Marian discovers she's pregnant, she knows her long-time boyfriend will insist they marry. Marian's fears that her pregnancy will commit her to a marriage based on duty rather than love force her to face her own past, as well as that of her mother, Anne, and grandmother, Maria. Over three days, the women acknowledge complicated truths about sex, marriage, and motherhood, truths they've worked hard to hide and deny, even from each other. Set in Memphis, Angelus unfolds from the alternating perspectives of the three women, which illuminate their particular interpretations of the catholic "Hail Mary" prayer, the words spoken by the Angel Gabriel to inform Mary that she is with child.
