American bravery and goodness in war at Christmas time

2009-12-08T11:17:00.001-05:00

Recently, I have been reflecting upon the great importance that Americans place upon Christmas. Yes, our nation is involved in a great war over Christmas.

This year the Church celebrates the 155th anniversary of the proclamation of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception which affirms that Mary was conceived without Original Sin.

OUR LADY: SOLUTION TO SIN IN MODERN WORLD

2009-11-23T12:57:00.001-05:00

Yesterday, I wrote about the excellent book, Evidence of Satan In the Modern World, by Leon Cristiani.
