In my mind's eye there is a group of people who embrace the good parts of Catholicism, the universality and historical pedigree, while maintaining a stance of no tolerance for the abuse of innocents and they look askance at the traditions that seem to cut women out of the loop. #Credopunk is an inspired choice for this movement (so to speak!). They approach the Blessed Sacrament while wearing a sash with crosses and metal spikes. The saint Credopunks ask to intercede for them is Jeanne d'Arc obviously. The favorite X-man of Credopunks is Nightcrawler. They're into shows like The Pope's Exorcist. They make #Catholicism seem so dang cool even Adventist kids sign up for RCIA. There's a Credopunk convent with the sisters blinged out like Lisbeth Salander. #08

I recently read "Lunar New Year Love Story" by Gene Luen Yang and LeUyen Pham. I'd picked it up as a good February read and then was quite surprised by all its twists and turns. What surprised me most, though, was how #Catholicism was depicted. I don't think I've ever seen such a realistic, well-rounded portrayal in fiction. I know people like all of these. I feel like the creators knew their material intimately. Very impressed.
