Piousness has always enjoyed good branding. It carries an aura of sweet moral fragrance, a soft glow of righteousness. Who doesn’t want to believe in the words and actions of a Pasta, a Reverend, a Nun, a Priest, or a Padre? People tend to lean toward the pious with an almost automatic trust, as though
