I, for one, would not want to see a running embarrassment with his statements countering those of his brother, the Pope.

I am lucky not to have anyone really close to me in my family who supports Trump or MAGA. But, to be honest, those who might have--have been deceased a long time, so I'll never know.

I don't have anyone close to me who us a magat either, thankfully.

That must be quite a disturbing situation & I feel for those who do.

an "exorcism" should be readily available and obtainable given the familial connections with Rome.
