It was a combination of devotion to the Rosary and Our Lady, and practical material means that defeated the Muslims and preserved Christian Europe from the scourge of Islamic domination.

Yet, is any Christian minister preaching about this? Christians and their clerical leaders sadly appear to be there own downfall. We act as though truth is something to be avoided, rather than embraced!

Regarding Iraqi Christians and that those who live by the sword will die by it — in this case, those who do not live by the sword may die by it as well. Christians are not pacifists by virtue of their faith, and legitimate self defense is a Natural Right. The situation in Iraq makes a strong case for gun rights and the need to possess military skills.

Ave Maria!
