"Holy Blood" - "it's paint!".


Kinda lol but do you not also find it interesting and perhaps frustrating that a male priest not only was NOT able to be swayed by a group of attractive and extremely emotional women shouting with foam at the mouth into his face and ears "Holy Blood" but that...

Not only does he not agree and prove he knows better, but he downright refuses to aid or even calm down women on the verge of massive hysteria or even pretend to agree to prevent them from being in such a sad and angry state, but that he confronts them back with "Destroy this abomination" and in a way humiliates them further.

Did it not occur to him perhaps that they may have had valid reasons to believe it was a divine item and not some fake artifact (with them knowing it)? Does them being seemingly pleasant and attractive women on one hand and in a state of emotional turmoil on the other not convince him to act more compassionately? Was he himself a nice man in general and was he right or wrong in how he handled the overall situation?

And did those women flat out de-facto KNOW it was paint and not a real "holy blood"?

Thanks .

P.S. With maybe some minor exceptions, if a woman looked like she was going to die to try to convince me of something like that, I would probably just stay silent and walk away at best. I wouldn't be able to angrily confront her with "destroy this abomination" but that's just me. (🤩Haha) ✋✅

I love the way that woman says "Holy blood", she plays that part so well it's as if some massive tragedy is happening to her in that moment in real life, my God.
