Seemed important when I made the connection while reading. Would like to read the thoughts of posters here on it.

No it's a tiny church :)

After a quick search on the internet I found a few sites that sell these items but I couldn't find much information on who were making the items or where the money would go. Do you have a preferred source? I'd like to support the monks and nuns who make these items. Why do I want the items in...

Indeed, I opened 1 of my favorite bibles to a random page while I was contemplating the pope. I found myself reading Jeremiah, what an insightful reading on how God tries to wake us up from backsliding with hardship. While also promising to redeem those who return to righteousness. If this...

Lord have mercy
