#catholicism — Public Fediverse posts

My name is Clodoald Sharp. I was named for a Catholic saint who survived a royal massacre as a child, only to renounce his claim to the Frankish throne and become a hermit-monk. He traded a crown for a pair of scissors — literally cutting off his own hair to take holy orders before his enemies could take his head. Choosing obscurity over power, willingly? Clearly, he never had a verified checkmark to protect.

My name is Magnus Petri. I was named for a Catholic saint who led one of the earliest Christian missions into northern Europe, converting pagan tribes through sheer force of conviction — and the occasional miracle. He's said to have driven a nail through his own hand to prove a point about faith. Honestly, a man willing to go that far to win an argument was *made* for social media.

So I have to burn me,
So then I can play.
