...season progressed from that BLOHARDS session to weeks of monitoring the maneuverings around the Hot Stove. If you to ask me, things didn't go so well for our side.

The bells ringing in mud brick churches in Africa and in grandiose cathedrals in Europe, the muffled prayers of illegal congregations in China, and the tears pouring from the faces of tens of thousands in St. Peter’s Square bear testament to the massive impact he and his passing have...
