Rendering to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s, then, what is the role of the Church in the world today? (more…) Read more

Because Fr. Dwight Longenecker Is Wrong UPDATED

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 6:15 pm By Frank Weathers

What the Sam Hill are you talking about Frank? How dare you say one of the favorite priests of the faithful is wrong about anything!
