A perversion of power.

I've been following this and it is just pathetic. Perversion of power is exactly right.
ReplyDeleteThe devil knows exactly how to twist and turn, to tempt and to deceive; the corruption of the best is the worst.
I pray and hope this will be the opportunity for some real conversion and repentance for the whole Irish nation, as well as our own.
