At some point during a calendar year in the Untired States, 1.5 million are homeless looking for a place to sleep and food to eat (Katel).

Imagine if instead…

The Council of Trent spanned a lengthy 18 years (1545-1563) and proved to be one of the most significant of the 21 ecumenical councils convened in Church history.

Escaping through the courthouse; 3. Escaping through a pipe or through…

history! They consist of a powerful series of religious wars in the eleventh to thirteenth centuries where Christian soldiers attacked Jerusalem to reclaim the Holy Land. Pope Urban II’s speech at the Council of Clermont held in France which initiated the crusades was considered the spark that powered this world-changing event; however, the original manuscript of his words had been lost!
