More links, as the Catholic blogosphere sneers at this insidious attempt to make money with blasphemy:
- Open book.
- Way of the Fathers.
- Grail Code.
Always read to learn something, but read histories not sensationalist news items. And I wouldn’t trust everything the [...]

Concerning the Crusades

Carnival time?

February 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment
