People,
Why is asking for justice or seeking justice somehow a sinful act for you!?
If we had justice there would be peace. When you are taken advantage of, and silenced by people who have power, it is the most hurtful thing ever.
And then to a…

I'm really young and I don't think I'm ready yet for marriage; but I want friends that last and are serious. At the same time, I noticed that Egyptians (men and women) tend to put on a show for others. Like, its as if they want to sell you their CV.…

You mean that Fr Peter's comment was that he values kissing other priest's hands!!!!!
