Corpus Christi

In 1263, Father Peter "had just finished the words of consecration when blood began to seep from the Host onto the altar and corporal....Fr. Peter immediately journeyed to Orvieto where Pope Urban VI was residing at the time...the pontiff...had the host and blood-stained corporal brought to the Cathedral in Orvieto [The above photo is from a 2015 pilgrimage to Orvieto.] where they are still venerated today, and instituted the feast of 'Corpus Christi' a year later" (CNA, 10/7/13)

Yet those – including religious figures – who denounced the president’s religious freedom activities last week, generally seemed to miss that his actions on religious freedom would actually help black lives....The day’s events and the president’s executive order deserve praise for paying attention to those in Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere that the 'woke' leftists criticizing him continue to ignore....the Knights [of Columbus] have been among those effectively sounding the alarm, playing a quiet but crucial role in urging government focus on the persecution of Christians throughout Africa – and especially in Nigeria" (Ken Blackwell, 6/8/2020)
