Americans have slaughtered more than Sixty Million babies since 1973.
For several years now in the PSR classes in my parish they are not allowed to say that you will become a soldier of Christ. Things are changing in very minuet increments.
I’ve left the Church. Time to change my user name. Thanks, Pope-a-dope, keep your stick on the ice ‘father’.
Fair enough, Holy Father. Just keep it apples for apples. Don’t compare the Crusades and the Spanish inquisition with 9/11 through today.
