in the life of the Catholic Church in the twentieth century that continue to impact today’s Church. Two of them were the Second Vatican Council as a whole and the scandal of sexual abuse by priests.

Are you imagining one of the most wanted men in the world for slaughtering over a thousand children, himself, and determining the deaths of about 400,000 others, in an attempt to racially cleanse his country? Although one of the most…

I don’t remember the way there. I was so excited for now I knew I would be able to be closer to the new king and his queen. I would have never imagined being so honored to be present at the feast where the mighty hero Macbeth and his noble lady are. Walking inside I was astonished by the height of the walls and windows, the affluence of the ornaments, the multitude of candles glimmering from every side and the splendor of the clothing of the quests. I was so amazed at everything I even forgot my…
