I was born a Catholic and have walked this Earth for 54 years.
Before dedicating a quarter of a century to Counterterrorism, my first degree was in Philosophy and Theology.
But I will say for the record, I have never seen a human being encapsulate in 90 seconds the meaning of Jesus Christ like @SecRubio.
Thank you Sir.
