PRIMVS ✠ Secretly your weird Catholic aunt on Facebook

Holy Week has begun, the time of Christ's divine Passion and Resurrection. Today is Palm Sunday, the day our Lord was welcomed into Jerusalem like a king, in full knowledge that many of those who cheered for him would soon be screaming out for his death. Yet he still chose to take on the burden of their sins, and of ours. He chose to forgive. For those of you who are part of the Church and have not yet done so, I encourage you to come and celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation during this final week of Lent, and to experience Christ's infinite forgiveness and love. I know that some find it difficult to speak their heart to a priest even in the best of times, but I hope that by my own sharing in the strange and often upsetting experiences associated with this social network, I can offer to you a uniquely sympathetic ear. The Seal of the Confessional is still absolutely inviolate, even if one is not completely sure of the source or nature of the sins that one is confessing. Our Lord who knows all things in fullness will understand, even if we do not. To those of you not in communion with the Church, I offer my blessing and pray that you find peace and comfort during this beautiful season of spring. My thoughts are with all of you as we walk together beneath this, our own peculiar veil of shadow.

[ooc: Those who want to take Karl up on his offer can hit up his IC inbox and/or contact me at randomarticle or Spinel#3440 on Discord! Non-Christian characters are welcome to ask him for a private chat too, of course, it's just that the Seal of the Confessional won't apply.]

Palm Sunday. I had forgotten.
It's a nice reminder, Father. But I probably won't confess anything.

[She assumes he knows why.]

But would it be alright for me to ask you some spiritual questions?
I have had some experiences lately that could use a priest's advice. Of any faith.

peace and comfort to you too, Father! I'm not part of the Church I'm afraid but it's nice to know that all sorts of people are reaching out to others on this app, thank you for that

It's too early to say Happy Easter isn't it? But is there a greeting for Lent or Palm Sunday? Either way, a thousand blessings to you and your congregation, Father. It seems like a good day to drop in on mass!

[He's also up at the crack of dawn today, or more like he still hasn't slept because there's plenty to do for Passover too, but anyway.]

riiiiight right easter
i kinda dont show up except for like easter and christmas so does that still count as practicing or what
its either come to the service or sit alone in my apartment drinking and i dont think christ approves of having his blood chugged straight out the bottle while crying

[ This is a total bluff, he feels weird and kind of anxious asking. How does he act like a normal person?? This is impossible how do people even do this. ]

lemme try that again
hey father is it cool if i show up if i promise not to talk
