There has to be a reason why the non-English-speaking parts of the Western Hemisphere have been so notably less successful than the portion within the Anglosphere. However, it is a fact that many American conservatives adhere to the religion. So, Catholisicm is not the whole story. But the association is nevertheless strong.
She’s going to Rome for the Pope’s installation Mass and DOESN’T want to be denied Holy Communion!! Wait til shegets backs after his SERMON ABOUT ABORTION AND GAY MARRIAGE!!
