A bright halo in stormy times. I did not think the catholic church would provide this light for me, but it did and i am grateful.

“the first Pope from the United States is descended from captured Africans who were brought to the Caribbean and Americas to enrich European colonizers in the Western Hemisphere!”

This is the rich history that MAGA says makes them ‘feel bad’… Good!!! I hope these facts haunt their dreams…

And I had to remind some entitled white man just this week, that he is the genetic mutation of the original human from Africa. He got mad 😂😂😂
