My favorite part was Ed’s heartbroken, “But…” when JD says that the American judge wouldn’t care about canon law 😂

A quote I once heard, "I give my money to the church and say to hell with it." Story translated: it is my obligation to tithe, it is the Church's obligation to spend it wisely.

Having said that, hearing that some of the Peter's Pence money went to finance Elton John's movie Rocket Man was too much for me. I will donate money to some other charitable mission until I feel that Peter's Pence is back on track.

I totally agree and at the risk of sounding like a salesman, my money goes to a community of Cistercian nuns in Wisconsin who are trying to build a new monastery.
