What is "Christian Realism"? Wikipedia says this is what Flannery O'Connor is.

I have Meditations but I haven't read it yet. How come every discussion about stoicism seems to be incels coping with being losers, it's the diary of an emperor. This just seems like a depressing, even more hopeless version of Christianity but without god. lmao just join a religious congregation like a normal person copes

catholoids, what if i've been a NEET for years on autismbux (for depression) but i go back to school and get a degree and reasonably sort my issues out, do you think i might have a decent chance at getting into a monastery as a novice monk or will they be too wary of a potential headcase? or if not a monk then maybe some similar capacity to work in the church?

that is a long way off because I am not even a Catholic yet but I have been doing a lot of reading lately and am just curious, I don't know why but for the past couple days I suddenly have a bolt of manic energy to read the bible cover to cover and find out everything I can about Catholicism
