Pope won’t take part in common prayers

Posted on October 26, 2011 by The Great One

Prayer… What can be said about prayer? Well, for one thing, in addition to being silly and a waste of time, prayer is also a selfish act. Just think about it; one of us measly souls asking God to do … Continue reading →
