The House voted to overturn Trump's ban on government worker unions.

Those who were involved in the creation of Christianity were also playing the parts of the first 10 popes (bishops of Rome), as well as other parts using aliases & pen names. At least some of them, fittingly enough, were also called or known as "Church Fathers" (aka 'Papas'). #Discover #Popes #Bible
