Who’s Hot in Hollywood? – God is, according to The Globe and Mail. It looks at a bunch of movies including a new one: Moms’ Night Out.

    How To Obtain a Plenary Indulgence in 2025

    I think we can sometimes fool ourselves into believing that the Reformation caused the Roman Catholic Church to abandon some, most, or all of the doctrine that was so concerning to the Reformers.
