The ADHD is hitting, so I fully admit I just skimmed your posts. If I'm missing something, please let me know.
I will reach out to some of my contacts to see if I can find someone close by. I'm in Minneapolis myself (Nicollet Island/Northeast, close to Otter's Saloon), but I've got < 600 sqft and a mess that can only be explained as a fun combo of depression and ADHD. It isn't ideal, but worst case scenario I can possibly put you up for a couple of nights (no promises, but I'll try).
Message me on here or on Discord (omgitburns) and I'll see how I can help.
I grew up going to various Christian schools as a kid. While it wasn't a common viewpoint, I did hear of it from time to time.
The reason behind it, to my knowledge, was that Catholic practices would often be significantly different from other denominations' practices. The biggest thing I can think of is the veneration of and praying to saints.
