Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted August 31, 2017 Global Mods Share Posted August 31, 2017 The old thread was archived after the site update, so here's a second one. "Is the pope Catholic?" is something people say in response to being asked a question that has an obvious answer. But for a long time, I actually didn't know the pope was Catholic, for two reasons. The first was because I didn't know only Catholicism had a pope. I thought every religion had them. The second was because I didn't know there was only one pope. I thought a pope was the leader of a church. I didn't really fully know what a pope was until 2013 with the news about a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverAngelus Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 My doctor once said, "Do not move that way, or the effects shall become permanent." And then I thought to myself, "Permanently for how long?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titania Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 @Ice Cream Sand Witch are we to infer from this that you're Catholic? Or at least were raised Catholic? That's neat! Tacking on one of my own: My brother and I were always extremely close in childhood. I was born just one year before him, but when I was very young I couldn't really internalize that. He was such a big part of my life, my best friend... he looked after me more than my parents ever did. I couldn't imagine a world without him. Literally. I could not get my head around the idea of a year where I was alive and he wasn't. So until I was 6 years old, I happily went on believing that he was born before me. I just got older faster The strong irony was later in life the reverse is what actually happened to us. I was born a year before him, but he's managed to age quite a lot more than I ever will. We may have grown apart since strangers began thinking I must be his daughter, but I will always remember the little version of him that was my world <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
