Fortunately, these days it isn’t necessary to drive a spear into our current apostate wanna-be’s. Just don’t vote for them, or for their ilk, and support their opponents with your donations and your voice. Much cleaner way to solve the issue, and it doesn’t involve jail time or risking your soul.

I find stories like this one encouraging. Another reminder that the Catholic Church has outlasted every empire, kingdom and persecution and that we will outlast the current challenge as well.

Emperor Julian – sounds like someone who wrote Obama’s policies! Obama = Julian!

Julian was an interesting fellow – what most folks forget (and perhaps our current administration should remember) is although he had a small following, even the pagans he hoped to revitalize were not very keen about his pet projects. In modern parlance, he lacked a support base for most of his reign. By supporting a fringe element, he sacrificed his overall popularity. In order to rehabilitate it, Julian embarked on a not-too-bright war against the Persians and was killed early in the campaign. What is interesting is that – even then – there was a hot debate as to who actually offed the Emperor … the Persians may have done it, but many Christians in his army claimed that he was killed by a Christian member of his own army. As one historian has quipped, “perhaps there was a second spear man on the grassy knoll …”

There's a good Audio Sancto sermon on this subject. Very good.

Sounds like the secular humanists are the Emperor Julian of today.

Pray that the American people will come to their senses and peaceably vote all politicians who are attempting to destroy our God-given and Constitutional rights out of office in November.

Read the linked reviews. He was killed in battle before he could do much damage.

Well, if this doesn’t sound like the agenda of the secular modernists, I don’t know what does. A lesson that needs to be remembered by all.
