...except for capitalists.
What’s this about “Missionaries of Mercy”...? Pardoning sins formerly reserved to the Pope?

There’s no mercy for those who don’t show mercy.
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
- Galatians 6:7-9

Praise the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever.
