In 2026, Chris is an 18 year old adult and she circulated footage repeatedly zooming into a 15 year old's crotch. That's child sexual abuse material.

The school wanted to let a child sexual abuser off the hook and back into an environment consisting of hundreds of other potential victims with a simple "I'm sorry."

Carrie's classmates virtue signaled as if they were on her side but really they only protested Chris because Chris bullied them too. They applauded Carrie for Chris getting expelled, but then still left Carrie to sit at lunch alone.

They were just fine with Chris spreading CSAM of Carrie - that video got hundreds of likes.
Then they laughed and filmed it when Carrie was assaulted with the blood of a murdered animal to retraumatize her for her sexual abuse.

They were performative activists who used a SA victim for as long as it benefited them personally, then discarded and betrayed her when she was no longer useful to them.

I’m not looking for a debate on whether it’s right or not

ETA: by “venerate” im referring to praying to (or with) saints

I saw threads like this on the Episcopalian and Catholic subreddits with very different answers. I’m wondering where Anglocatholics would fall

I’m not trying to start a debate here btw

In my case, I’m considering praying to the following…

Saint Lucy: to open eyes to the positives in life and myself. To seek light in the darkness (depression). To help with disorders that make it hard to see reality (ocd, depression, ptsd, etc). To stabilize my vision on that which is positive instead of dwelling on negativity. See past manipulation and self-delusion. To seek aid for having a sick mother (lung cancer) and deceased father. To ward off unwanted suitors. To guide me to good behaviors.

Saint Agatha: Cope with bullying, body shame, and body dysmorphia (since she has had her body attacked as well). Building confidence.

Barbara: Dealing with being sheltered, socially isolated, and learning to come into my own and find independence

Saint Thecla: Defending myself

All of the above have some sort of relation to the saints’ stories, but they’re not the saints’ official patronages, so I’m wondering if the saints might be less helpful than they are in matters related to their official patronages.

What do you think?

Note that “better results” doesn’t necessarily mean “getting exactly what you want” (though, of course, it can mean that in many situations)

Please mention whether the answer is different depending on what you’re praying for

If you’re not sure which has better results, or you don’t have experience to answer this question, choose the last option.

I’m especially curious about the following, but feel free to share about any saint: Eve, Mother Mary, Marina of Antioch, Agatha, Dymphna, Lucy, Thecla, Brigid

It seems a lot of people venerate her. I’m curious to learn more about people’s experiences.

I set alarms for her to take her pills and I keep reminding her to drink water and eat food. Anything else I should remind her to do?

Due to depression I have trouble getting motivated to get out of bed and do everyday tasks so I want to ask for saints' help giving me energy and motivation (e.g. Lucy's help writing since she's patron of writers).

However I've seen a lot of people saying we need to pay saints every time they help us. I was wondering how that would work in this scenario. Especially since I want to develop relationships with many saints so would I need to pay all of them daily? Would thanking each of them count as payment?

Would you feel happy or sad?

Hi all, I was born and raised United Methodist. A couple of years ago I started attending an Episcopalian church but I wasn’t a member. I only stopped going because my sleep schedule no longer allowed me to wake up in the mornings. I agree with Episcopalian beliefs and practices.

Can I casually call myself Episcopalian or must I undergo a conversion process?

I know the Episcopalian Church doesn’t officially believe she’s Queen of Heaven, but I heard some Episcopalians privately disagree. I am wondering how common that is.

ETA: “To/with” is intended to mean “to and/or with.” I know there’s a theological difference but I didn’t have enough options to include on the poll. Please choose one of those options if you pray “with” her
