I love Margery Kempe. Well, I find her really interesting historically. If I knew her in real life, I would flee in the opposite direction.

But either way, you were meant to be quiet & private about your religiosity if you chose such a hybrid way of life. Margery wasn't quiet.

She wanted to be a saint & some of her attempts at this do seem very naive & obvious. God says he talks to her even more than Saint Bridget.

But I don't think she was a hypocrite. I think both her affective piety & her worldly pragmatism were genuine & she didn't see a conflict.

I actually wrote a paper on her once, but it was nowhere near as good as that tweetstorm!
