Anus blessing. Gross.
This is the kinda crap that drove me from the church.
What diocese did you belong to?
Prayers up for Holy Mother Church.
You should find a way back..After all, the death of Jesus didn’t drive the apostles away forever...Judas was the first to try and destroy the church...Paraphrasing HILLAIRE BELLOC...The church I believe is divine, because no mere human institution could have survived the idiots running it.....He said that in the 1920’s...
