My faith is Roman Catholocism; I'm a cafeteria Catholic as I pick and choose what I want to believe but still rooted in the Catholic faith

Wow watching this guy make all those misses baffles me as to why people still buy into this bullshit. I understand people want to be comforted but thats why I have my faith; I don't need con-men to comfort me in my grief.

He´s such a liar and he uses people who are in mourning just to get money! He and those like him should be ashamed of theirselves.

You are right.Its nothing new. This has been a business for over 100 years sadly to say. Also pause it at 9:30 and look at the guys hair in the back ground.
