Setting the Record Straight: Muslims, Luther, and Everybody vs. The Catholics

Charles V of the Hapsburgs bravely defended Catholicism against the Lutherans. At the time almost all of Europe was  Catholic.

Listen as in 1527 the Lutherans sacked Rome and killed the Pope.  But that was just the beginning of the Church's problems. Those conflicts bought about the dawn of the secularism that rules the modern world.

Setting the Record Straight: The Big Be!

One of the great superstitions of our time is the multi-universe theory which the atheist scientific mandarins embrace desperately as it melts away under the hot light of actual evidence for a different explanation for the origin of the universe and life. Listen to physicist Father Robert Spitzer explain the superstitious persistence of the multi-universe theory for which there is….no evidence. He contrasts this with the suspiciously Catholic "Big Bang" theory of Father George LaMaitre for which there is abundant evidence.  Actually a  better name than “Big Bang’ would be “The Big Be!” with which words God created the single universe.

Setting the Record Straight: The Power of Islam

Islam is a remarkably successful religion that for most of its existence has inspired its adherents to creatively synthesize the often-conflicting requirements of warfare, imperial politics, and missionary zeal. Projecting Western freedom of action backward in time seriously distorts the more dramatic story of ongoing Western weakness that almost destroyed Christendom. The pathos and peril of much of contemporary radical Islam's protest against the West is not fueled primarily by aggrieved victimhood; it is nourished by an even stronger memory of how Islam's final victory over Christendom remained for so long a real possibility. Muslim triumphs in earlier centuries were the crucible that forged both Christendom's fears and Islam's confidence.

CRC P 349 Evangeline - A Catholic Trail Of Tears  4-1-16

Evangeline, the most famous of Longfellow's story-poems was a best seller in its day. It is of interest to Catholics because it is tells the story of British Anti-Catholicism in its most severe form.

Setting the Record Straight: The Secret War - Pope PiusXII vs. Nazis and Communist

This amazing story of the ingenuity and courage of Pope XII should be known by all Catholics. But most Catholics don’t know it. They have only heard the Communist propaganda that defames this brilliant Pope. Few Catholic’s know about the successes of the Pope's war against the Nazis and the Soviet Union. Why? Because of the rather astounding fact that most of the books on this subject in our American schools and libraries are based on the propaganda and disinformation about Pope Pius XII invented by the Soviet KGB.
