Documentary "How God Created Us" Receives Catholic Media Award The Catholic Church has been the subject of repeated criticism lately. Negative headlines appear again and again, which, among other things, have also led to a high number of people leaving the church.

After that, he took off in the music business, went on tour and didn't talk about it in public.
