Hey Veeky Forums
So my girlfriend and I are converting to Catholicism this weekend. Are there any Catholic authors you could recommend, or novels with Catholic themes?
We recently read Mouchette together by George Bernanos. Any other suggestions would be great!
He rapes his sister, Mouchette.
If you enjoyed Mouchette by Bernanos you should read Under the Sun of Satan and Diary of a Country Priest, they're much better and they deal more directly with catholicism.
watch the Bresson movies too if you want, they're all pretty Catholic
Is this some kind of quirky date idea?
No we both decided it was best for our mental and spiritual health. We met in a psychiatric ward last year and since then have spent our time recuperating and attempting to find a sense of stability and security (both psychological and financial) in our life and lives. In this time we traveled a great deal and began reading the bible together to pass the time on long train journeys. We both experienced a sense of awe when reading it and having done further research and having agreed to marry, we are now converting to Catholicism before the act.
not really, jansenist shit with cringe worthy non-acting
His first film, Angels of Sin is quite mainstream and orthodox.
That's a sweet story, the only problem is Catholics don't actually read the Bible.
I will need to remake the list and add 20 or so works, but here.
Silence by Shusaku Endo should be nice.
