After the fall of Antioch to the Crusaders, the great Turkish emir Kerbogha arrives to recapture the city, trapping the Christian army within the ancient city. Now the Crusaders must prepare for their greatest trial yet: a full on battle with one of the largest Seljuk armies yet assembled! In search of spiritual renewal, they look to a visionary priest called Peter Bartholomew, who promises that the holy lance used to pierce the side of Christ lies buried under the cathedral of Saint Peter.
The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. My Pledge-Nulla dies sine linea-Not a day with out a line.

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.
