See, the religious fanatics are taking over! How dare they expose peace loving Muslims to their hate mongering, oppresive, and moronic Christianity, especially Catholicism.

If that doesn't cause a meltdown at the ACLU, nothing will.

Before moving to the attack of Lepanto the Christian sailors devoutly recited the Rosary while the Papal Legate gave them the Apostolic Benediction. For three hours, the sixty-five thousand men, all of whom had received Holy Communion that morning, continued to recite the Rosary. Then on each ship general absolution was given for the last time by one of the chaplains. The attack began. The wind, which had been against the Christians, suddenly dropped. The battle raged until late in the afternoon, when the Turks gave way. The victory gave the naval power of the enemy a blow from which it never recovered and ended their threat in the Mediterranean Sea.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, o prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits that wander throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

... that all men are created equal an endowed by their Creator ...

God created all men equal, and on the 9th day came the M1A1 Abrams... after that all bets were off.
