The author of Interview with the Vampire and its follow-ups has died. Annie Rice deadRest in peace, Ms Rice. Many years ago, I was briefly posted on the message forum of a very, very, right wing Catholic website, & Anne Rice had, for a short time, posted on there as well. Made the owner of said website so proud that his site had her as a member.

Made the owner of said website so proud that his site had her as a member. Interesting. Was Rice a right wing Catholic? No, think she was more middle of the road. If I recall, I think she ended up leaving the Church. That was horrible website to post on. Even the person who introduced me to the site ended up dissing it (& the thing is, he is rather rightwing himself).

Even the person who introduced me to the site ended up dissing it (& the thing is, he is rather rightwing himself). I know little about it. But I know there are Catholics who only practice a Latin Mass. And there are those who oppose Pope Francis and various papal reforms. I'm guessing that's a fundamentalist right wing of the church. Yes, that is correct. However, at the time I was posting on this site, & when Anne Rice also posted, it was years before Francis became Pope. It was just after Pope JP II passed away. The way those fundie so-called "catholics" were posting about him were downright disrespectful (particular after he had just passed away). It was just an awful message forum.

Apparently she held disparate religious views at various times in her life from atheist to Catholic to ... whatever you call this:

I've only read one book by Anne Rice. It's an early novel, Cry to Heaven, set among the castrati, males who were castrated in childhood so they could sing high notes for the Vatican choir.
It seems the Catholicism runs deep in her work. Even the vampire themes seem to carry religious imagery.
Yeah, its very common in stories about vampires to carry Catholic religious imagery.

That's because Jesus was a vampire. "Drink from my blood and live forever."

I didn't really interact with her on that particular message forum, but, from what I understand the ones that did, really ripped into her over her views.

Do you have a link for this site?
I could get it for you, but, it the message forum for this site has gone the way of the IMDB message forum (& that's assuming that the site is even still around). The site was called 'Angel Queen (Can't remember if it was .org, or .com).' Like I said though, it was a horrible site to post on, even for a conservative Catholic such as myself.

Okay, if there's no message board anymore, I'd pass anyway. But I've read about this Latin Mass movement and I would like to know more about it.
I had a thought that the Roman Catholic Church might be an institutional relic of the western Roman Empire, just like the Greek Orthodox Church is a preservation of the Byzantine Empire.
Yeah, there are Sedavacantist "Catholics" that are particularly fanatical, & think that the Papacy no longer exists. Even some Catholics that still recognize the Papacy still have audacity to attack the current Popes.

Even some Catholics that still recognize the Papacy still have audacity to attack the current Popes. So there is a whole movement called Traditionalist Catholicism which rejects the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965).
Yes. Never met any in person though. Only online & frankly, I find a lot of them to be way too fundamentalist, for my liking.
