What does paying off their debt by our government say about owning up to one’s responsibility? What is that payoff going to cost us taxpayers? Did you pay off your debts?

Now, if there were two things in this world that are complete opposites, it’s Father Hayter and Father Yesu. Both are upstanding, God-fearing men who care deeply for their flock.
