Church Quote by Ann Widdecombe

“I left the Church of England because there was a huge bundle of straw. The ordination of women was the last straw, but it was only one of many. For years I had been disillusioned by the Church of England's compromising on everything. The Catholic Church doesn't care if something is unpopular.” quote by Ann Widdecombe — Download Open image
