    •  exactly !! (none / 1)

      half of the church activity revolved around saying rosaries & doing novenas to try to get someone out of purgatory. the theory being if they made it to the board room "up there" they could lobby for you.

      Anyone who advocates, supports, defends, rationalizes, or excuses torture has pus for brains and a case of scurvy for a conscience. - James Wolcott
