Saint of the Day for February 9: St. Jerome Emiliani

Franciscan Media - A careless and irreligious soldier for the city-state of Venice, Jerome was captured in a skirmish at an outpost town and chained in a dungeon.

For most of the second half of the 20th Century, we were in a Cultural War with the Left; however, conservatives didn’t realize it, and certainly didn’t act like it, and therefore we lost the Cultural War.
