I have quite a few new followers! I entered a convent in 2016 before having to leave in 2020 because I developed mental illness. I’m Catholic, love living in Indiana, and have two dogs as my companions. Feel free to ask me anything!

I know we all love the mullet guy who is trying all of the Chinese buffets until he gets food poisoning but please, I beg you, do not post a video of your young child smiling and saying, β€œgooning!”

Civic duty complete βœ… My county makes voting so incredibly easy. Every election, I’ve been able to vote early on a Saturday and I never have to wait. What a gift.

I’ve come face-to-face with Satan. It was one of the most terrifying, absolutely get-wrenching experiences. I wrote about what that was like. Link below.

This Halloween, as you see ghouls and goblins, be aware that you have an enemy who wants to see you despair for all eternity. letterfromrocco.substack.com…

Individuals possessing candy is wasteful. They should give it all to me.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

I used to be quick to criticize bishops. When it comes to abuse, I still am oftentimes. But I've also come to realize that they have been given a responsibility that I have not. The Lord gives them graces to fulfill that responsibility that I have not been given.

That doesn't mean that bishops are beyond reproach. And God knows, they do not always do everything perfectly, or even well. But it does mean that we need to first and foremost pray for them. Not just in a general sense, but by name.

one of the advantages to being both devoutly Catholic and hopelessly mentally ill is that I am always prepared to both evangelize AND be a martyr. incredible.
Replying to @cecsquared
Why be a Christian if you’re not prepared to evangelize or be a martyr for Christ? You really need to examine yourself.

The reality is that most of us on this website have absolutely no idea what it is like to live in a country that is 1% Christian, much less what it's like to be a bishop entrusted with the care of souls in such a situation.

I'm reminded of Kichijiro in "Silence" by Shusaku Endo, who claims that he could have been a perfect Christian and died a saint if only he had been born a hundred years earlier. Instead, under persecution, he was an apostate. Most of us have no idea what that is like.

The only person who should be allowed to have social media is the woman in the DC area who is building a mine under her urban home. Everyone else can go.
