Chapter Summaries & Analyses
In Group, Robyn explains that when she has a shameful thought or feels triggered by anything, she turns to her rosary and prays. She explains,
‘It’s not like a crutch or a compulsion, not really. The religious thing just helps with the hyper-anxious bits […] I know it doesn’t stop the bad thing, or change the consequences, see? So it’s different from the OCD. It just helps a little.’ She seemed surprised, as if she hadn’t really noticed that singular fact before (83).
Green Lantern compares it to how people with addictions turn to religion in the AA program. Chuck says religion is not typically a tool used for OCD recovery. Robyn tells the group that Adam is teaching her all about being Catholic, and he’s taking her to a church after the session. Wonder Woman asks if they can come, too, and Captain America is interested. Adam starts to panic because he doesn’t know if he can get away with bringing so many people to his church, having not been there for a few years. But Chuck encourages the bonding activity, so after the session, all 13 members (even Thor) take the stairs and head toward church together.
