One Evangelical troll on a Catholic page replied to me saying that The Virgin Mary and I would be in Hades till the end of time. Believe me I know it’s easy for the evil one to tempt us to be snarky. Most of the time I don’t respond to these trolls. Plus why would Christ send his own mother to hell?

Bianca Vandenbos @booknotions.bsky.social · 7d

Working on a substack which is a movie review of He's Just Not That Into You. What I plan on including is how my perspective changed when I first saw it as a 17 year old, to now as a 33 year old, appreciating it in different ways and seeing how some characters grew more than others!
