Re: Recent Letter

I certainly am disgusted with Obama ideas for Israel. Jerusalem should certainly remain as the capital.

At my parish they introduced the congregation to the first holy communion celebration by referring to the bread and wine as symbols of the body and blood, I felt very uncomfortable with such an expression.
