Sigh.
I’m glad Mr. Grassi is happy, but what he is doing is an Abomination to God. I pray that the Lord sends His Holy Spirit to Mr. Grassi to work on his heart and repent of his sinfulness.
YUK!!! The Pope should NOT have done this!!
YUK!!! The Pope should NOT have done this!! It would have been like Jesus hugging Mary Magdelene’s LOVERS!!!
