Interesting article on an aspect of the Crusades and the role of the Catholic church in it.

We need to pray to God to give us a similar victory over the Islamofascists and the left wing slimy domestic traitors in this country. I like the result of Lepanto a total rout.

Good article.
Another interesting couple of items that I remember a priest saying,
The Sultan swore that he would not stop until his horsemen could stable their horses at St.Peters in Rome.
And
When the ships were aligned for the battle, the European galleys were aligned in the shape of a cross and the Turkish galleys were aligned in the shape of a crescent.
Maybe that is why I get annoyed when some of our 9/11 memorials are crescent shaped and the intellectuals tell us this is not a Muslim symbol.
