RE: Sight Unseen - Unveiling Rome, Italy
Hey what’s up @trincowski? Thanks for checking this one out, I appreciate it and thanks for dropping me a line. Dude, I tried to write this from an unbiased standpoint but it was difficult—I couldn’t agree with you more. Absurdity—good choice of words, Pura and I were referring to it as grotesque and shameful, yours has more class.
Hey man, the one shot that was really blurry, that’s literally the steps of The Vatican, less than 10 feet from the entrance doors. Yes’ir, Vatican City, itself, where all of that wealth is, I got that shot as we exited the self indulgence plagued holiest of holy places on Earth.
Each church, sir, they’re all covered in priceless jewels, metals, art and, each of them have a crisis on their steps. I passed by a woman one night at one of them and didn’t have any change on me, as I walked around the corner there was a fruit stand. I grabbed some bananas and an apple, we went back to give it to her not even two minutes later and, just as I got to her, two nuns were ushering her away from the venue—true story. I made sure to hand her the fruit right in front of them. She was so thankful. I made sure they heard me say “God bless you” too.
Always a pleasure to hear from @trincowski, enjoy the rest of your day and have a nice weekend.
I know. I was there, once. Me and my brother were denied entry and had to come back the next day because we were on beach shorts! 🤣
The church and all organized religions are blights on humanity, imo
