That amazing girl doing those walks. Horrible she get spit at. If I lived closer I would walk with her. Hopefully a bigger group can walk with her. Also how hard is it to issue an apology? Isn’t asking forgiveness something someone like the Pope should have no trouble with?

I am sickened by this. Why, as a global society, do we put up with religious division, tradition and hate? I know that “hate” is a very strong word to use, but…the Catholic church is a worldly power. Shame on them. I am a Native American who was raised in a white, religious household (Mormon), and I am more than disillusioned,..I’m saddened. I’m angry. My tears are for those who have had to endure a history of violence and abuse, and enough is enough. Christianity doesn’t want peace, they want a constant division…a battle here and there, a war. Ironically, it’s “all for Jesus”. Are they serious?? Hypocrites. All of them.
