Hi, John. You’re my favorite crotchety old geezer! There’s all kind of history the Catholic Church prefers to keep hidden, including how some pipes bought their way into office. Between the Crusades, the inquisition, and many others shows of force and abuses of power, I can see why. There a many examples of the focus on this world’s wealth and power rather than the next.

Hey, Happy New Year! 🎉🥳
