Such anticipatory actions are based on the notion that our cause is consistently good, while that of our enemies is…

The Roman Empire started to disintegrate in the West and Christianity did not help with its decline. The Emperor Constantine founded the Greek city of Byzantium and renamed it Constantinople, in which he considered Christianity to help strengthen the system but in return it did not.

The she-wolf is described as she “carries every craving in her…

Martin had a great belief that the common people should not have to rely on a priest to be…

Throughout history there have been numerous wars started because of the need to help others from living under a supposed harsh regime and save them from being persecuted because of their race, religion or class.

There hasn’t been a movement more momentous than the First Crusade. The First Crusade was a pilgrimage turned military…
