Remember that coming out is not an obligation, put your safety and mental health first, no one has the right to peek into your private life if you don't want to, and you certainly don't need to expose yourself to danger, there's no shame in waiting for safer conditions

For any Catholic, the sight of a Eucharistic Procession being turned away at the gates of the destination is the embodiment of Jesus being denied entrance. You don't have to be Catholic to get the symbolism in that!

What Fr Dowling is doing here was not just "offering communion to detainees". A full on Eucharistic Procession is a really fucking big deal. In Catholic theological framing, those folks were the honor guard with the very great privilege of escorting Jesus himself to the detention center.

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

found out that there is a jollibee in the area and went to do the traditional pilgrimage, but unfortunately the line was also traditionally very long and i had to leave before getting to the counter in order to make it to my appointments

See, I told you Mr South Africa won the boobiest outfit of the year. Every year South Africa send a look that appears to have nothing to do with South Africa but everything to do with putting a beefy hunk in tiny pants and a cloak down the runway and they continue the trend here. I'm not complaining

Mr Philippines is the only one this year that even comes close to Mr Laos in terms of the giant amazing outfit. It's a very different approach to that kind of look but it's spectacular.

Mr Peru I think possibly needs an even bigger thing on his back, but I'm not really focussing on that because his stare is so fucking intense that I am feeling slightly flustered and need to go and sit in the dark to calm down for a bit.

Mr Thailand. Traditional, LOOK AT MY TITS *and* a sword. Very nice for such a simple look (comparatively). Also I know I said I wasn't going to comment on the contestant's looks, but my gods that's a breathtakingly beautiful man right there

i was always taught that it had to do with the equally nebulous concept of "amor proprio", which my elders could never really describe

That's a great question! Speaking of colors, did you know that bluejays aren't actually colored blue? They just have special prisms in the feathers that make them APPEAR blue. Wild amirite?
