St Mark Ti Tianxiang, patron saint of the addicts

[skipjames]

Hellos,
dunno how many Catholics or Christians are here on BL but I ve found this story interesting and somewhat inspiring- a fellow addict canonized it s a thing, at least for me. Plus it s interesting historically wise to show how addiction was considered back in the day https://www.sobercatholic.com/2022/10/15/st-mark-ji-tianxiang-patron-saint-of-drug-addicts/

I have a complicated view of religion. The story is sad, but is comforting and gives me hope.
