On the Authenticity of the Papacy

I started this project over a year ago, and it was during a phase when I was discerning between Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. The point of the project was to delve into the history of the Church to figure out if the claims of Rome to the Papacy were historically accurate and in line with what the Church taught historically. I am a former Catholic, who was Catholic for two years.

The Yearn: the Search for Authenticity and Connection:

The Yearn encourages readers to probe their sense of identity in a confounding era of doubt. By building a base of self-awareness, we equip ourselves to adapt to uncertainty.The Yearn is a compendium of questions and notes to a series of intriguing questions, some profound, some personal and some quirky, about the lessons individuals have learned that deepen their understanding of what the French call 'la condition humaine.' Indications of the extraordinariness of the moment are everywhere. You might call it a transformative moment. In an era of Covid-disruption and attacks on truthiness, the idea of The Yearn is to show the triumph of what might be called ordinary or personal wisdom. The pandemic has led us to question many of society's conventions. Being 'real' is increasingly revered in a Covid-wacked world that longs for transparency and disclosure. Social networking sites are designed to encourage shallow interactions but The Yearn plays to the search to find meaning, connection and wisdom in our individual stories.

Reviews of Asian BL Series

This is a collection of reviews of BL-series and movies from Thailand, South Korea, the Philippines, Myanmar, Singapore, Japan, Cambodia, and Vietnam, some of which I have already published on mydramalist.com. The series I am reviewing here are not necessarily the most popular ones. Series like "1000 Stars", "I told Sunset About You" etc have been reviewed again and again by many people, so I don't want to write the 100th review about them. These are some of my favourite series (and a few of my least favourite ones), with some of my favourite actors, and of course my selection as well as my reviews are in no way objective.
