    Women who give birth don’t know because they’re not fully taught about reasons or about God’s Angels etc. Women are kept ignorant of the whole truth of sacraments , kept in darkness and ignorance by the church and its priests. No one has time at church to explain the truth.

    The truth, only the truth reaches and nourishes the person’s soul and heart.
