Archbishop

Alluvial prayers cast in gold

Reverence capitalized

Christianity besieged

His excellency pardons

Begging paupers of virtue

Indulgence contaminates

Seeks marble idols at church

Heaps insincerity

Onto faith and religion

Purchases circle of sins

Thank you Juliet. My best friend's father was a bishop and he was a very kind man. Best wishes to you and have a good day, Kai
