Confessions of a JC Playboy Bunny
Even though the seven Deadly Sins were put into place in the 4th Century by some monk who was clearly as much a fan of making lists as I am, so much so that the list was originally longer. Then some time in the late 6th Century, the Pope decided to condense them, but as […]
