Catalan singer Rosalia dedicated an album to mystics, saints, warriors, singing about some great Catholic women like Hildegard of Bingen, Teresa of Avila, Joan of Arc.

On IG, @sophiasgaler does a great analysis of this album in terms of languages and Saints, so check it out!

It was interesting because people would not talk, and use social media a lot to bypass traditional media that they saw as aligned with "gender ideology"

This was a protest mode, popular in Italy around 2013-2015, of the group Sentinelle in Piedi (standing watchmen).
They were inspired by the French Veilleurs Debout and protesting against same-sex marriage.

Different context (Italy) but once I met a guy for was in the police and after his shift he decided to go clubbing with his gun and got drunk so other customers of the club stole his gun and he only realized the day after.
He never worked for the police force ever again

100%! Therapy is like “have you tried journaling and yoga?” While I’m screaming “but I’m the victim of systemic issues!!!”

"Dei Digitali", a book in Italian where I have a chapter, a translation of a work I published with Heidi Campbell. It has been a pleasure being part of this book project with Michele Olzi, Alessandra Vitullo, and many other brilliant scholars!

So, it shows clearly how there may be different ways of seeing and living religion, but institutions' rules remain.

When LIUBA prayed prayers from different religions in the Vatican, she got stopped for not praying the "correct" way

But I also met several women who have been arrested in the proximity of St Peter's Square for demonstrating in favor of women's ordination and gender equality.
