@kjhealy with great generosity, love, and charity, that segment of twitter is more like weird fash twitter, since the whole catholic thing is just part of a larger aesthetic regime — PolitiTweet.org

@DeadGodsBook i grew up in texas where the same thing was the case, which is why i specified this pertains to young people, especially the professional-managerial class urban ones — PolitiTweet.org

the weirdness doesn't arise from the nature of the catholicism, but rather from the refusal to retreat into a kind of cultural, linguistic, or ideological isolation. it's simply weird, nowadays, to be a young person who Literally Believes in Actual Jesus. but it's not so bad :) — PolitiTweet.org

i think the internet encourages a balkanizing tendency already present in american life, and one that's characterized a lot of catholic history in the usa. to me, WCT represents a counter movement, where young american caths embrace both modern millennial culture and catholicism — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

instead of apologizing for or concealing the religious stuff, WCT either hyperbolizes for humor (a kind of self-parody) or just talks frankly about it -- thus all the debates. but the idea is never to render any of this inaccessible to the reader. it's the opposite, i think — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

instead of becoming imperious and shut off from others, though, WCT (which is a public performance, like all tweets) invites onlookers to see that these people are still approachable, smart, funny, varied, complex people -- not so different, not so alien — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

but they're also different than their millennial peers -- especially in the urban professional-managerial class -- in that they're, well, catholic, and not kidding about it. it's one thing to be vaguely religious in these circles, and another to be, well, Weird About It — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

i don't think WCT is primarily about demonstrating pride or shunning nonbelievers or any of that, i think it's essentially a slice of young, left-skewing people who are in most respects typical millennials -- like to shitpost, bernie fans, brain poisoned by the internet, etc — PolitiTweet.org
