  • Conservative priest

    Well educated priest but man his conservatism allows leaks into his discussions. A true anti-Pope Francis priest. And his audience always seem to accept his pronouncements as if fully truthful, not perverted by his far-right stance. He seems to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
