[Even though he wasn't doing anything wrong, he feels like a kid with their hand caught in the cookie jar.]

Um... I was r-reciting the r-rosary.... It, it m-makes me feel c-calmer and... m-maybe God would h-here me....

N-no... I j-just... I f-f-feel calmer when I r-recite the rosary.

[Voice | Italian]

[sancta_sedes]

I... I was v-very worried when I h-heard about what h-happened.... M-murder is just... why m-must people hurt each other in such a place?

[stray_cardinal]

Amen.
