The Real St. Nick by Leon Suprenant

Don’t Let the Grinches Steal This Christmas by Leon Suprenant

From Our Founder

If we are going to make good our promise to support the Pope and the teaching Church, we have to develop an influence working for the true renewal so urgently called for by the documents of Vatican II and by the Holy Father. The Holy Church is Christ�s Church; it is His to save, and He will save it-with our help if we give Him the help He wants, where and when He wants it. But we cannot take matters into our own hands. We have to listen to the Holy Father and fight the battle under him and in the way he decides it must be fought. And Rome has asked us to be very careful, very patient.
