To answer your first question, AWOL is also used colloquially to describe people wildly or destructively ignoring the responsibilities of their job. So it’d be an apt descriptor if it was talking about a REAL priest but in this case it’s just flowery wording (presumably for alliteration)
Lmao, I can assure you that to people who hate gay people, you will ALWAYS be one of those people no matter how pathetically you grovel at their feet, the democrats have nothing to do with that.
