We laughed so hard at this.
Twitter/X did not disappoint, either:

This is the energy we need from the Church. Fantastic stuff!

Hopefully the days of 'Kumbaya' are gone.

We'll allow it.
I was taught by Nuns from age 5 - 18. Not at all surprised by this. Only a fool messes with a Nun. https://t.co/CfRHcGGaRd

A fool, indeed.
This is the type of Nun we need more of…and I’m not even Catholic.

Where is this new church being built and where can one send money to them? https://t.co/hOkFvAn4EF
Somewhere in France. Beyond that, not sure. But we do need more nuns like this.
I came here to say “le based” and someone beat me to it 😭

She'd be a great addition to the league.

Pretty much. We think she went easy on him, frankly.
How insufferable do you have to be to get planted by a nun? I would never live this down https://t.co/5BcHAyW3Tw

Guy is protesting the building of a church. We're guessing 'insufferable' is his middle name.
