Lithuania. Why? by James Patrick
At present Lithuania is a tiny Baltic country wedged between Latvia and a small Russian enclave on the Baltic and Poland, with Belorussia on the southeast. There are 2.8 million Lithuanians plus another 200,000 Lithuanian-speakers outside the country, a population about the size of Dallas if the suburbs are included.
Up From Unionism by Jerry Salyer
The moment I learned of the existence of Catholic Confederates: Faith and Duty in the Civil War South, I set about acquiring my own copy. For the book in question deals with an important and fascinating subject which has been mostly “memory-holed” by Catholic pop media which is more interested in celebrating the ostensibly “Catholic” side of Mohatmas Ghandi than in recalling those of our forebears who stood on “the wrong side of history.”

No, we also need to be committed to alleviating the plight of migrants, the homeless, Third World babies in need of adoption, those on death row, and for all I know the polar bears.

Oh Galuppi, Baldassaro, this is very sad to find!
I can hardly misconceive you; it would prove me deaf and blind;
But although I take your meaning, ’tis with such a heavy mind!
When Jesus Was Born, A Talk by Dr. James Patrick
Viewed from within divine revelation, the answer to this question is given in Hebrews and Galatians 4:4. The answer is: in the fullness of time, when God had willed the coming of the Messiah. To answer it fully and precisely in the simple historical sense would require more knowledge than we now have.

Secession! and Then What? by the Alabaman
“Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star…” So said the Southern secessionists of the 1860s. Even with whatever differences the leaders of the CSA were certainly a much more culturally intact group than we are presented with today, even I dare say within our own state governments.
