So I'm helping teach a woman at my church German. She's a Tatar who speaks Russian, English, and Spanish. Her daughter married a Turkish man from Germany, and she wants to speak to her new son-in-law. :3:

Descriptions:
1 healthy baby boy 7lbs 14oz; 23 in long. Super cute and full of poop. He has this head of crazy old man hair and we love it.
1 equally healthy wife. Also super cute, but not as full of poop.


Content: our priest came to the hospital today and did the prayers for childbirth which was really nice. When he comes and does prayers at our home or whatever I never know if I'm supposed to participate in the parts I know or just let him pray. This time I erred on the side of mumbling something resembling prayer.

Keep it funky, my brother. We are all born between urine and feces, and that's just how it is on this funk of an Earth.

Welcome back to the Liturgigoon thread, friend.
Well, I like Ben-Hur, but it's debateable on the historical veracity front. As far as versions go, I the film nerd prefer the silent-movie version from the 1920s, but it's a silent movie so ymmv.

Hail Caesar is actually really, really good, and actually very thoughtful theologically. The orthopriest featured in it was, I thought, quite a flattering portrayal of an orthopriest. The Doctor from Voyager makes a very good Rabbi.

Yesterday I watched the movie RISEN with my unchurched nbfriend, and we both really enjoyed it. Are there some similar movies you can recommend?
Criteria:
- about the bible or early / historical Christianity
- theologically in line with dogma
- entertaining to watch, maybe in the style of a normal mainstream movie, but I'll try other styles if they're good

Apparently reviewers generally found RISEN :mediocre: and it's true that the second half gets a bit preachy. But our standards aren't that high.

I enjoyed the TV show 'AD: Kingdom and Empire' which is historically a mess but is a p good dramatisation of Acts if you're into that sort of thing. It's probably terrible in a million ways but I liked it.

it’s a rare religion that has both nuns and transgender nuns

one might say there are none

edit: i mean MAYBE tibetan buddhism or theravada, and you could try zen but let’s be honest american zen sucks. definitely tendai or shingon might but you’d have to learn japanese, at least jlpt 1 level and i’m jlpt 4 at best

I'm 95% certain that there are at least some Hindu ladies-only holy orders that are fine with transgender* individuals.

* - i am slightly less certain about whether the exact classification of the transgender individual would be adequately close to, well, transgender as such; there's at least a lot of third-gender sort of stuff in various Hindu traditions, and a shitload of "I'm a dude, but seeking enlightenment by emulating the lover of a god who is also a dude", but I mean, it's Hinduism, there's gotta be some overlap somewhere

That second option really is surprisingly common along the intensely religious, lots of people have Rama or Krishna as a Fantasy Husbando.

extremely emotional catholics (but i repeat myself) of all genders will do this with christ as well. there are also male saints who imagined the wound in christ's chest was a breast and that they were nursing from it

The Robe is worth seeing and was pretty influential in its time. Not as classic as Ben-Hur but better than most from that era when whitewashed biblical dramas were a dime a dozen.

Zeffereli's Jesus of Nazareth was pretty good. It's long, though....it's a miniseries more than a movie.

Pasolini also directed the best straight adaption of the Gospels: The Gospel According to St. Matthew, which even made it on the Vatican's list of recommended films. Ironic in a way, since the man was an avowed atheist.

I watched part of that in church once. The pastor and I had a bit of a chuckle about it given the other things Pasolini has directed.

How do you guys handle interfaith, interdenominational, or faithful vs faithless relationships? Catholics, was it a point of contention that the non-Catholic had to agree to raise the children Catholic? Is anyone in a marriage with a non baptized person? What are the rules for that? What’s the dynamic of dating a non-believer or even atheist?

Watching his films, one gets the sense that his personal beliefs were probably a bit more nuanced than a simplistic "atheist" label can describe.
