ATTENTION KNOXVILLE!

This Ghost Soldier movie with @reallycaviezel looks amazing. And when was the last time you heard the St. Michael’s Prayer in a movie?!? Watch this.

How very sad…. but they brought it on themselves.

This is the heartbreaking inevitable of an off the tracks ‘renewal’ that has decimated congregations of women religious. In 1965, there were 181,421 religious Sisters in the United States. Today, they number 33,135 with only 1% under the age of 40. Incredibly, there are more Sisters over the age of 80 than under 60.

With a little help from white, black brought mate on himself in 4.

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
