It heads up to our listeners. Early in this episode, there's a graphic description of police violence and murder.

Please listen with care.

Sarah.

Do you have a preferred sin?

No. I... that is a crazy question.

But like, would you say you're like a glutton girl or like a lustful lady?

This is the worst thing you've ever asked me when starting an episode.

I want to go on the record saying that and I'm not answering.

Well, as usual, I'm asking because today I have a story about someone who engaged in a few too many of the deadly sins,

even while he claimed to be spreading the word of God.

It's a sweltering Sunday morning in July 2022 in the East Brooklyn neighborhood of Canarcy.

In a small room above a Haitian restaurant, a man stands at a gold podium on a stage.

He's dressed in a crimson suit with gold embroidery, gold cuffs, and a long thick gold chain.

He's holding a mic in one hand, his pinky adorned with a big ornate ring.

His name is Bishop Lomore Whitehead, and this is his church service.

There are only a few people in the crowd, but lots of congregants tuned into the live stream.

Sarah, take a look at this screenshot of his service.

He looks pretty fancy to me, like he looks like a, yeah, a stylish religious figure, which can only mean good things.

Only the best religious figures with this well dressed.

Well, Lomore glance his down at his iPad, propped up on the podium, and he reads from his sermon.

The live stream captures what happens next.
