The New Albigensian Heresy
Convert to the Catholic faith, H.W. Crocker, somehow managed to fit 2,000 years of Catholicism into his 500 page book called Triumph. Having read it for the second time earlier this year, I noticed the behavior of one group of murderous medieval heretics appears to be the same as an American political party today. Let's first consider Crocker's description of the Albigensian heretics of the 13th century: "The roots of the heresy lay in the East.

The above featured image is a picture of my first nephew born recently (after three beautiful nieces being born to my sister and my sister-in-law.)
