My short post on the Victory of Vienna, 1683.
Today is the anniversary of the Relief of Vienna in 1683, which along with the Battle of Tours, the Battle of Lepanto, the Battle of Covadonga, and the Relief of the Great Siege of Malta (the anniversary of which was yesterday), was one of the greatest defeats the jihadists suffered in their attempt to conquer Christendom. It stopped their advance into Central Europe, just as Lepanto and Malta stopped their attacks through the Mediterranean,Tours stopped their advance into Western Europe, and just as Covadonga began to roll back what they had managed to conquer in Western Europe.

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.
