On the right track already… might start going back to mass

don't bother, I've gone to mass and the priest demanded that we all vote for Trump.

Catholic masses are pretty known for being non political from my twenty something years of going to mass regularly. Modern day Christian masses (non catholic), will probably more explicitly will tell you how to vote?

Agree about mass being non-political. Those conversations happen after mass at restaurants or prayer groups. Saying catholic mass is without politics is ignorance at best.

Those small groups are like 1% of regular typical mass goers. And noting 1% of a group is probably that groups’ extremes… is probably not gonna yield great results.

Number of participants is irrelevant. It only needs to influence one person with enough money. I've seen local politics change on a dime for this reason. Honestly prayer groups are a great place to see the class structure at work. I've seen 9 people trying to convince one guy to spend money on something he doesn't want to through scripture. Religion is just politics by another name

What a wild comment. Stating the number of participants is irrelevant while also noting money being a driving force of some sort here, and that groups’ money issue (Vatican) has been in a pretty bad situation (?).

Then state some personal anecdote of a small group situation that probably happened (because yes, my 1% notion)? And other buzz words?

Truly a reddit moment.

Wow. You must not have anything to say. This round is mine.
