All right, all right, ya’ Friends of the Roman Church, whether still practicing the faith or lapsed & estranged from your Catholicism! Take it easy! Lots to unpack in this message from the Bishop regarding the Fantastical Story of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as always on Dec. 8 a Holy Feast Day of Obligation. Prayers up!
