Read More In Pharaoh’s CourtBy Charlie Johnston On May 13, 1981, the anniversary of the first apparition at Fatima, a crazed man tried and failed to assassinate Pope St. John Paul the Great.

Read More Be Not AfraidBy Charlie Johnston Occasionally, I have noted that our lack of understanding of the customs and mores of Roman-occupied Jerusalem have caused us to dramatically misinterpret the import of many of Jesus’ sayings.
