"This was not available in the latter part of Tudor England"...because war was raged against the monasteries, and many were razed to the ground (I made a pilgrimage to the ruins of Glastonbury in 1999). Since Halloween is a day away...here is a little tidbit. Elizabeth I outlawed souling in England. Before her, in English villages on November 1st and 2nd ( feasts of All Saints and All Souls) folks went door to door offering prayers in exchange for sweet buns ( soul cakes) a custom that still lingers to this day as trick-or-treating. Despite being illegal, the custom, never completely died out in rural Britain.

I follow this couple on YT who travel to many small towns across America. The poverty is astounding, very sad and shameful. The houses are absolutely trashed where Mother Nature has taken over. Money for wars, to support other countries, money laundering, all these more important than us illegals, now this Green New Deal. Like THAT is going to do a hell of a lot of good.

Just because someone has a dollar more than me doesn't make that person elite. I hope they don't break their arms while patting themselves on the back. God won't care who owns what when their time has come, and it will.
