The Dark Hermit
A hermit in Gotham. Watching. Praying. Refusing the darkness its final word. ✝️

I've never been a fan of Santa Claus eclipsing the true meaning of the birth of Christ, but now I’m genuinely concerned that the Grinch is surpassing Santa in popularity.
We’ve gone from a Holy Day, to a commercial holiday, to celebrating a character who literally hates the whole season. 🎄🤔 #Christ

Watching #BatmanBegins on @Tubi and the firm refusal to kill is Batman’s crucial moral compass. It affirms the sanctity of life and rejects utilitarianism, even when fighting absolute evil. That uncompromising moral line is a great echo of foundational Catholic ethics. #Catholic #SanctityOfLife

Iron Maiden (ages 67–73) and Anthrax (46–65) are coming together in Chicago, with an average age of 64. I can’t stop wondering what that mosh pit is gonna look like now. 😂🤘

Two apostles, one mission: fidelity to Christ unto death. Saint Simon with his saw, Saint Jude with his staff—silent witnesses to courage, faith, and friendship in the face of persecution. ✝️ #FeastOfSaintsSimonAndJude #Catholic #Apostles

The crushing weight of suffering vs. the hypocrisy of man-made rules. The bent woman in Luke 13:10-17 knew that deep, internal burden. Jesus called out the 'Harvester of Sorrow' (the ruler's judgment) who prioritized law over liberation. 🤘 #Metallica #HarvesterOfSorrow #Luke13

A priest concelebrating Mass must wear an alb beneath the stole. Wearing a stole over a religious habit without the alb is illicit. The habit is not a sacred vestment. The Mass is valid, but the vesting is contrary to Church law (\text{RS } 126).

I'm more concerned by this mass where the priest isn't properly dressed from what I can find and understand about the requirements.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5 — Anthropoid delivers tense realism and a somber look at courage under impossible odds. The pacing drags at times, but the raw humanity and moral weight make it worth watching.

They unload their burdens on you, never asking how your soul or body is holding up. Christ sees. Protect your peace. Set holy boundaries. Even Jesus withdrew to pray. 💔🙏 #Catholic #MentalHealth #JesusHeals
