We, just yesterday, had the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, which is a holy day of obligation in most of the world, but for some reason not here in the USofA. Not sure why, apart from the general trend to not disturb people’s comfortable lives by […]
Thank you to everyone who so kindly donated! I am extremely appreciative of it. Now there is lot’s of work to do! I will be sending something along to those very kind people who donated, very soon. : )
Download Play in new window Today on this first Aude Sapere podcast I re-introduce myself and launch into the issue of the infallibility of canonizations.
