Say it with me now:
1. Being free from sin is not the same as being God.
2. Mary being free from sin does not make her God.
3. Mary being free from sin does not make the Incarnation unnecessary because she is still not God.
4. Christ's sacrifice was not meritorious merely because He was a man free from sin but because He is both man and God.
5. Mary is not God.
6. If you think Catholics talk about Mary more than Jesus maybe it's because you only engage with Catholics via our responses to Protestant criticisms which skews your perspective.
7. Every Marian doctrine ultimately points to Christ and tells us something about Christ and His salvific mission, so even when we are talking about Mary, we are also talking about Christ.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a top tier sacrament and you should go
I included the original tags as the first 2 for reference.
Regarding the apples (he's seen eating 3 in the show), he says: "Forbidden fruit, my favorite," last time he's shown eating one. Then there's the wall in his apartment that's covered in "Forgive me Father, I have sinned," written over and over in what looks like blood, possibly what's still wet on him from his kills when he gets home. But you missed the most obvious one.
Sylar crucifies his "unevolved" victims. Go back and look at the way the bodies are always high up a wall and pinned to it with objects impaling their limbs. He does this because they're innocent. They have to die for the "sins" of others because they're in the wrong place at the wrong time and he can't risk getting caught so there can never be witnesses. If he'd gotten René's ability he 100% would make those people forget his face and probably that they saw the murders at all to spare them. That's not just conjecture either.
When he calls Mohinder because he's confused and concerned about himself possibly being the bomb he tells him that it makes no sense saying: "Why would I do that? They're innocent. There's no gain."
Also, on the subject of that call, he makes it immediately after killing Isaac, who is still lying dead in the room at the time. When he kills him, he pins him to the ground telekinetically then crucifies him with paintbrushes to keep him from getting up.
Gabriel definitely has religious trauma or, at the bare minimum, a deep resentment for it. We know Virginia was religious because when she freaks out about his abilities she says he's not her son and that he's "damned" then proceeds to demand that he "give back her Gabriel," which suggests she believes he's possessed.
Also, Peter (who we know is religious because he's shown praying in a church and we hear his prayer), crucifies Sylar with a nail gun when he tries to force him to turn back into Nathan. I felt that was a nice karmic come around.
If you like religious symbolism and/or sacrilege, check out my smut fic of Sylar as a Catholic priest falling to temptation and sin.
Sylar + catholic symbols 😩😩😩🤌🤌🤌
I was listening to collared and, oh well also I'll probably be using this style for my arts from now on, duck off lines
I’m so glad we all just decided that was the plot of Midnight Mass
you finally confess your attraction to the hot priest and he's like "oh darling, I thought you'd never ask" and proceeds to bite your neck and turn you into another catholic priest
i love this style of christian art, it's so pretty and delightful.
Not only have I not been Catholic for decades, that’s not even my actual name anymore
Truly love the number of people I've met that have been like "Well I went to a Catholic school as a kid, which is to say I'm not Catholic" like damn Catholic schools really out here doing the exact opposite of missionary work.
i want to be forgiving i really do i want to lead with love and the kindness that accompanies it but others shall not allow for it perhaps i shall offer them love regardless.
I have had a difficult time reading my writing recently but I do want to keep going, so I really hope that you can put up with my writing for a while longer
Mock exams are finally over and I can keep running my secret tumblr blog !!!

sometimes, despite the clear eastern influences, the jedi and star wars are so painfully christian. they might as well be wearing crosses.
this is strictly between christian denominations ex. anglican and catholic
