Padre Pio…

Catholic saint…did a lot for the poor…church up in the Bronx named after him…

i spent nights there…stayed-up talking to monks…balding bearded guys with hearts of gold… 

was good…talk ’bout books…music…politics…prayers…very smart…very smart…

you Catholic…

i am… loyalty…

loyalty…

i owe them… fed me…clothes.. a bed at night…no questions…no judgments…they listened…

Protestants don’t do that…

Protestants are very American…there is a price placed…

how…

chapel required…tithes handed over…guilt…you reap what you sow…you did this to yourself now dig your way out..a punishment for being poor…compassion cost…

Protestants…

fuck the Protestants…

your family Protestant…
