Time For the Left To Declare Bloody, Ugly War BACK

Rights are being taken, the constitution is being violated and trashed...

Thoughts on the Beatification of Pope John Paul II

The beatification of John Paul II makes the Church seem more and more like a good old boys' club where connections and privilege count.

Sure priests betrayed their vows, but he showed little concern about betrayals of the trust that a child has for their priest.
