history meme - ten moments - the crowning and beheading of anne boleyn

Anne was crowned Queen of England on 1 June 1533, and her ascension to the throne marked the split between her husband, Henry VIII, and The Catholic Church, and the beginning of the The Church of England, which remains the state religion in England to this day. She was beheaded on 19 May 1536 under accusations of high treason, including murder, incest and witchcraft. Her daughter Elizabeth would eventually ascend the throne and become one of Britain’s most celebrated rulers. Anne is remembered as one of history’s most infamous queens.

#best best best     #sundered the kingdom from the church with nothing but her body and her wits     #all to claw her way to the crown; under which she brought god and the king together in the body of her husband     #like? fuck.     #talk about capitalizing on psycho-sexual geo-political philsophical and structural weaknesses     #to turn tremors into a schism     #all for the desires of your own heart and ambition     #jfc     #anne boleyn     #the female of the species is more deadly     (okayophelia)

The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this commandment at heart: do good and do not do evil. All of us. ‘But, Father, this is not Catholic! He cannot do good.’ Yes, he can. He must. Not can: must! Because he has this commandment within him. Instead, this ‘closing off’ that imagines that those outside, everyone, cannot do good is a wall that leads to war and also to what some people throughout history have conceived of: killing in the name of God. That we can kill in the name of God. And that, simply, is blasphemy. To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.

[…]

The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone! And this Blood makes us children of God of the first class! We are created children in the likeness of God and the Blood of Christ has redeemed us all! If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: we need that so much. We must meet one another doing good.

[…]

Today is [the feast of] Santa Rita, Patron Saint of impossible things – but this seems impossible: let us ask of her this grace, this grace that all, all, all people would do good and that we would encounter one another in this work, which is a work of creation, like the creation of the Father. A work of the family, because we are all children of God, all of us, all of us! And God loves us, all of us! May Santa Rita grant us this grace, which seems almost impossible. Amen.

Pope Francis I [x] (via notbecauseofvictories)

#apologies for length but this is fucking important#still crying about it#because guys#oh my god guys#the pope actually said this#out loud#at massI don’t know if there will ever be enough words#religion#quotes words

OH MAN THIS. THE POPE ACTUALLY SAID THIS. AT MASS. Oh man I like this pope. This pope gets it.

ETERNAL CREATION OF THE PRESENT. THE NECESSITY OF DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE. Holy shit, this pope really gets it.

 okay though the likeness of God thing     that often gets read as ‘in the appearance of God’ which is ah     pretty clearly not a. great interpretation.     because then you get to ‘what the hell does God look like anyway’ and it devolves from there     but the way it was once explained to me (i believe this was in a christian and the arts class?)     was that the main aspect of God is that He is creative     and that the act of creativity is His main act     (the idea of creative love is kind of big in my conception of God? and i think it shows up in a minor prophet or two     not exactly in those words     and i mean a lot of the ways that Jesus loved were creative)     and so as humans we have inherited God’s creativity     for better or for worse     (i also tend to think that the process of being is inherently creative because you have to remake yourself at least     every day     [which is why the articles about ‘the habits of creative people’ bother me because like??? everyone is creative???? no.])     and ah     yeah.     (i can tell that the pope has read borges.)     (borgevino)

#did the pope just almost implicitly revolutionized the church’s approach to extra Ecclesiam nulla salus?     #to create a culture of encounter; where we constantly create ourselves; our bodies and souls are not fixed points     #but emerge and redefine as they arc through space and time and intersect and exert wills and acts upon each other     #and those wills and acts must come from a place of grace; not force; from a place that is not impositional     #but requires equal and opposite reaction to have effect     #’a culture of encounter’     #like     #it’s still the church; it’s still about expansion     #but this is an explicit rejection of the violence (both physical and otherwise) of their colonising practices     #i’m not religious in any way that counts anymore     #(the universe is holy because humans refract their grace through the search within it for ever greater truths!)     #but this is interesting and indicates a new direction that the catholic church desperately needs     #there is such strong grace of human nature and the history and understanding of that contained within catholicism     #it would be a shame to lose it to archaic practices and suffocating adherence to the past     #religion     #catholicism     #per ardua ad astra     #the kingdom of god is within you because you ate it    (okayophelia)

SOLID.

this is why I love this man. 

Okay, if you don’t love Kanye, I question you and will forever until you learn.
I’ve never had a man ask me straight up if it was okay to use the word “bitch” even endearingly.
Not once.

The Oncoming Storm by `Saimain

#i just squeaked #on the one hand bzuhh this is hot #i like my boys bruised and bloody#on the other hand this is terrifying on a deeply satisfying level #i want the literal doctor cold and driven to the brink of insanity #thrusting his bare hands into the still-beating heart of the monster #(which often it seems is his own self) #i want him stripped of that goddamn sonic screwdriver #i want him battling with his wits; i dont want him to hide behind the technology which refangs him somewhat (but on purpose) #(because if you reduce the doctor to his wits you are in fact unleashing him) #(and remember they literally built a box to hold this monster in) #(you can’t build a securer one than the one he’s already built himself) #i want your vicious unholy abyss stripped clean of the scabs you have carefully cultivatd is what i want #i want you ripping through everything in your way even as you bleed yourself #i want you angry i want you vengeful with the fury of eternity #with the guilt of the massacre of your own flesh and soul that you will enver wash clean #i want you smothered with the blood that has always adorned you #i want you destroyed and destroying #i want eternity reflecting the hollowness within you #i want….. so much and MOFFAT GET THE FUCK OUT SO I CAN HAVE IT BACK AGAIN GODDAMNIT (thymoss)

#yes thank #give me all your trickster archetypes transmogrified into embodiments of death and chaos #show me the blood staining the doctor #that we intellectually know is there; i want to see it in his bruises in the blood in the torn clothes and smoke from the battlefield #i want the centuries of careful control and barely-performed humanity to be broken through and have the alien peer back #i want the dark heart of rage that lurks in the centre of his humanism to ripple forth in anguish #and drive him proper mad #it’s all goddamn there in the text; davies saw it; hinted at it; showed us the abyss pouring out through the cracks ever now and again #moffat only plays at it
