Screenshot of the following poem: LA PAPESSE Benedictine habit with shaved bald head, growing chest concealed, she maintains her true self inside, where she’s safe from the stones the monks throw, living though covered. Silk beneath the hairshirt, with nails in “spilled” paint. Quiet outward sacraments. Some are more loud. Intuition, knowledge, and grace, no clothes hide. Gentleness shimmers. Masking’s not regression; performing takes skill. When the curtain closes, her dance becomes free.

I will never shut about #PopeJoan / Pope Yohannes. How iconic to be the only pope to have given birth - on a horse no less - resulting in the Vatican fondling men’s nuts for the next few centuries to make sure it would never happen again. Such a baddie.

Just found out the Catholic Church once literally checked the pope’s balls to make sure he wasn’t a woman… and somehow that’s not the weirdest part of the Pope Joan story.
Turns out, misogyny wears a funny hat
Unreal
