Posted on July 02, 2020 in: General News

Three years ago, Bishop Robert Barron created a video series on a handful of saints, mystics and scholars who not only shaped the life of the Church, but changed the course of western civilization – the “pivotal players”.

Before I went on the Pro-Life March in Washington D.C., I didn't associate these words either, but once I thought about it, I realized how these two words go hand in hand.
