Which bit? Monolingual? Trust me, in the UK that's normal. Boringly normal so there's no stress. Most of the people I know who are multilingual are Europeans, lol. I studied languages at school so at least I have an appreciation of how fabulous languages are and the difference between reading literature in the original vs. reading a translation.
Or was it the 'heathen' bit? I just use that as a lazy bit of shorthand bc I can't be arsed to try to explain my beliefs / thoughts / uncertainties / questions etc. I'm done with those conversations. They go round in circles and drive me crazy. Ime, many church Christians will insist that they love difficult questions and then the minute you ask a difficult question they step away from you as if you are the spawn of the devil. Which I find highly amusing but which leaves the question unaddressed, lol.
Truth be told, I use the word 'heathen' bc I fell in love with it when I was about 5 yo. I've been calling myself a heathen ever since.(well, it isn´t a bad thing at all lol)
Today's challenge is to try to limit myself to only 2 Cadbury's creme eggs. Sometimes on Maundy Thursday I'll go to a Tenebrae service. This year it's all about the chocolate!
Is it our hope?
hope

That hope mixed with pain.... But it's necessary, hats help.

I see. That’s a good cause.@Agonum
Maybe I should have been clearer.
The Wear A Hat / Hats For Hope thing is to raise money for research on brain tumours. I assume they attach it to the Easter period bc of Easter bonnets.
I'm not actually wearing a hat bc it's freezing today so I'm staying indoors.

I bet you were a cool kid
Maybe stubborn? I certainly was lolA secret (didn´t tell anyone, yet):
I have an appointment at the district court to leave the catholic church (you have to basically deregister). I wonder if I will have the guts to really do it. I will still be be a Christian after that, and I wanna be. But I can´t be a Catholic anymore ... :-(

... yeah, I have been thinking about it for some time. Many German catholics have left (my brother did as well). The horrible abuse cases surfacing, the super acient macho male hierarchy where woman are basically only are allowed to serve but not to act, the mere fact that religion has been used by humans to opress other humans ....
Is this really me talking? lol
never thought I would arrive at this point, wanting to leave

I've just been reading this (from 2023, data from 2022):

German Catholics left Church in record numbers last year
More than half a million Catholics disaffiliated from the Church in Germany last year, but what do the numbers mean, and how do they break down?

Also, it is extremely hypocritical to me how rich the catholic church is here.
The infamous case of the Bishop of Limburg is an extreme case, but the way it was handled and that he was able to build this "temple" in the first place, speaks volumes:
OMG it is sooooo ugly. Germany was so mad and also laughed about this. But it is disgusting, really.
EDIT: BISHOP OF BLING
