Really great discussion. I don't how many times a fellow "Catholic" has driven me to tears for being non-perfect-Euro-whatever but it's been way too many times. I offer my tears as prayers for that person though and it helps.
I enjoyed this episode so I'm gonna stick around for more. 😊 I feel like I need to go watch Black Panther though, haha.
