    I will no longer be following this creator. As a Black woman, I’m astounded at his support for Charlie Kirk. I also will not be purchasing any more items from Ascension Press. You have basically said that y’all hate me and all of the black women if you support someone who was so vitriolic against us. The Catholic Church keeps giving me reasons to stop going to Mass and just stick with deepening my faith in other ways.

    This creator promotes the work of Josemaria Escriva, the founder of the far right Catholic group Opus Dei. The same group behind Project 2025 who want to destroy American democracy and install a Catholic King.

    I believe there was an episode of Cheers where Sam went to confession. May be worth a look.
