LABELS: So there are people who call themselves progressive Catholics, liberal Catholics, conservative Catholics, blah de blah. And I guess I wonder why we can’t revive an old traditional identity–bad Catholics? Like, I don’t do it right, but I know there’s a right way and I know I’m not the standard of value, and I know I need to get my head together, and I know I’m not doing it and can’t do it without Christ?

Was reminded of this topic by Andrew Sullivan, but have, unsurprisingly, thought this for a long time. Shout outs to Oscar Wilde, Robbie Ross, Graham Greene, the amazing and inspiring women I counsel at the pregnancy center, and the posse.
