This makes me want to reread Canticle For Leibovitz
I do wonder what Ecos feelings on Vatican II are, the repeated insistence that John the XXII is The Worst Pope Ever and woe betide any pope who should take that name again make u think lol
@iskariotrising@shrike.club that book absolutely fucks tbh
@LaComtesseRouge oh yeah, canticle for leibowitz is great. I want to revisit it bc last time I read it I was in college, Very Stressed, and read the whole thing in one day lol. Probably not the best way to absorb it!
@iskariotrising@shrike.club I wouldn't say so lol it's definitely got a lot of layers. It's always an excellent sign for a sci-fi novel when the author is noticeably a tortured and conflicted catholic
@iskariotrising@shrike.club (opening the front cover, seeing the first act titled "fiat homo") oh hell yes here we go
