I know I am not supposed to judge but I hope the chances of the Ice thug squads and those that give them orders, or enable them in anyway(like voting to keep them funded), getting into heaven, decreases exponentially with each unjust act they commit. Unless they repent, and do pennance for the harm they perpetrate on others.

I don't attend mass anymore, but the Catholic Church has my gratitude for their speaking out and peacefully protesting tsf and his minions. Bless all of them who are, especially Pope Leo for giving his blessings in a sense.
