Very well written and a wonderful critique of overly formulaic Catholicism. As G.K. Chesterton said, "Let your religion be less a theory and more a love affair.” If you wish to know a more authentic form of the Catholic Faith, I will happily answer any questions (you’re right in that there are meanings behind some of those numbers).
I went to church for the first 10 years of my life, I went to CCD maybe 20 times, I confessed only once. I still don't know what much of it meant. Maybe if we keep crunching the numbers we'll find out. Excellent stuff.
Wow you actually summed up Catholicism in one paragraph. I like this one.
thank you thank you
This I will read 71 times. Bravo.
thanks bradley!
Love this line!
“I'm not religious but my therapist priced me out and divine intervention is free”
Oh my god you’re good
71 is 17 backwards, which is the unlucky number in Italy

Love this! I wonder, what is the significance of the lowercase “clara” in your work when referencing the self?
no real reason lol. i just think it looks better that way
71: chance happens before the self can act
That last paragraph is a beautiful sledgehammer to the teeth.
thanks will!
"but my therapist priced me out and divine intervention is free"
"but all I really needed was someone to tell me to shut the fuck up and pray"
yoooo, 🙏
