Patricia Lockwood: Diary (opens in new tab)

Recently​ I had an opportunity to check in on the state of American Catholicism. The occasion was a tradcath wedding in St Louis, greyscale city of my teenage years, and the last place I truly believed in demons. I left in 1999, just before my senior year of high school. My friends would celebrate the turn of the millennium without me, but in escaping I also narrowly missed a more tailor-made end of the world.
