My parents weren’t exactly enthusiastic Catholics. We were always sporadic churchgoers at best. They both went to Catholic schools but whereas my dad got lucky and his school was run by a bunch of leftist humanist Jesuits, my poor mother had to deal with fascist nuns, so I think they were sensitive to not wanting…

I’m not gonna lie, it may not be ‘cool’ or intellectual but I love royal gossip.

I won’t disagree with you on that. I mean, I knew what was up with the church by the time I was 8 or 9 and told my parents I didn’t want to go back (and they let me).

Actually I should say the last 100 years, not fifty. But my point stands.

And not just Catholics in the US, same goes for Catholics in Europe and even in Latin America. There’s always been a disconnect between the Church and its members, with the exception of the ultra-Catholic. But that’s also inherent to the nature of the Church. I mean, remember this is the institution that thought it…

Thanks. But the fact that we think this way is probably why we’re in the greys in the first place... I’ve been here for years under various names and am ungreyed on the Root and a few other of the blogs but never Jezebel. 

I haven’t watched the episode so I don’t know how she said it - it sounds like she was cunty and clueless about it. However, it is true that not all patterns work the same way on different bodies. I’m short and I have boobs. When I wear pattern, I pick ones with smaller scale prints rather than large ones, or prints…

He is a cool pope by Catholic standards though. I’m still shocked he got elected because the traditionalists are NOT happy with him. I was raised Catholic by parents who weren’t all practising either so I was given a very pragmatic view of the Church and decided early on religion wasn’t for me, even though I still…

Major Judaeo-christian religions, and in particular the centralised monolith that is the Roman Catholic church, evolve at a snail’s pace. It is both the reason they have survived this long and the reason they are losing followers. By Catholic standards, that this Pope is considered a radical kind of tells you…

Well, Lohan was talented and had a promising career in front of her. And I think if she cared enough to get her shit together and go back to acting, she could be talented again. Maybe.

I think progressives need to let this go. The women spoke, he apologized, pretty sure he won’t be getting touchy feely anymore. Sometimes it’s ok to say,ok, we need to get the fuck over this before we start contributing to the Democratic collective political suicide.

But what if it is? I mean, the first one works for Bernie and she waited until  Biden was about to announce to come out with her story and when asked why I think she admitted outright that it was political. Most of these stories come out right before elections, etc. I think it’s ok to acknowledge you’re motivated by…

Rick that was a fantastic review, made me want to watch a movie I would have otherwise not give a second thought to. It’s also the first review I’ve read on jezebel for a long time that actually acknowledges a movie for what it is and reviews it on its own merits, rather than getting hung up on the politics of the…

But also:

You’re kinder than me. Unless by “ultimate romantic” you mean “loves drama and attention”. Narcissists.

Rogelio’s the best. And I love Petra, she’s so silly and reminds me of the ‘villains’ on Ugly Betty, which seems fitting. I love Gina and I really want to like Jane but every time I think the stick might finally be out of her ass she turns around and does something self righteous and stubborn and judgy and if not for…

It’s 2019 and it’s come to this: we’re all rooting for the bajillionaire who pays no taxes  in his war against people so evil, they make us forget the victim is a bajillionaire so powerful he has changed the face of retail and bankrupted traditional stores all over the world. 

I don’t read the Atlantic as much as the New Yorker but I don’t have an issue with media outlets hiring people with opposite viewpoints.

I got into Fleetwood Mac fairly late, precisely because I was put off by the crystals and bat wing sleeves and all that I’m a witch/girl power nonsense. (I’m one of those people who never had an esoteric/spiritual phase). And they definitely have a Dad rock side but they’re also catchy as fuck and I’m definitely a…
