This event takes on a renewed urgency now that the Pope has essentially called Islam and its founder evil. The whole hierarchy is as corrupted as the inside of a coffin from Rome down to Brownsville and Holy Spirit Parish. It is up to us to keep the flame lit until the institutional church regains its senses and spirit. Please attend this event and apologize for our hierarchy.
