This is might be the only time you and I agree on this. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/9047/#c_72148 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/9047/#c_72148 AMEN. This is might be the only time you and I agree on this. I totally agree with you about the vatican but I also agree with California not allowing children to be home schooled unless the parents have a teaching certificate. That makes sense to me. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/9047/#c_72264 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/9047/#c_72264 I totally agree with you about the vatican but I also agree with California not allowing children to be home schooled unless the parents have a teaching certificate.

Of course, her fagot maggot priest probably told her not to use birth control either. NOSIREE BOB, there were too many innocent altar boys and maybe girls who hadn't had "the baptism of the holy root."
