I would read "Final Conclave" first, then "Keys of this Blood," then "Windswept House." His books "The Jesuits" and "Hostage to the Devil" could be read in any order. Actually, I read "Windswept" first and my curiosity was whetted to read the others and find out how the Church got in such a state.

Thanks, I think I'll take your advise.

Just got back from Mass; High Tridentine for Christ the King. It was absolutely spectacular. A lone, melancholy trumpet accompanied by chant reverberated in your marrow. It was stupendous.

Priest gave a very good Sermon, too. Said Christ was the King of all of us: terrorists and atheists, alike. He said that Christ is the King of the heart, of the Family, of the City, of the County, of the State, of the legislature, of the Senate, and of the President. He admonished us to vote according to our Catholic Faith.

I love this Mass, and I love this Church. If you're ever out in Rochester, NY, go to Saint Stanislaus Church, you won't regret it.

A baby was cooing througout the Mass. It was so beautiful. I just wanted to go over to him or her and kiss his or her chubby little cheek. The baby's Mother had 5 other kids with her, about a year and a half apart from each other. She was the most beautiful sight I've seen in a while.

God Bless Mothers, and God Bless the Family, that tiniest, most Sacred of Churches.
