It was on this day in AD 793 that the Priory of Lindisfarne was sacked by the pagan Vikings. Lest you think that we need not worry about the pagans, this 'lighthearted' comment was posted on an openly heathen page on Facebook a few hours ago.
Never forget, that on this day in 793AD, a group of Vikings selflessly rescued the treasures of Lindisfarne from a great fire, after the monks mysteriously and spontaneously died.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
