Thanks RobbyS for that terrific post. There’s been a lot of revisionist history going on and not just in the secular world. Islam is stealing much of our history with the help of the Marxists in the DOE. Have you read any of Professor Thomas E Woods books? EWTN has some good audio of his talks - “Builder of Civilization”.

Chesterton knew how important Lepanto was...though not as important as Vienna (to the Ottoman Empire anyway)...

Indeed, Woods has tried to educate the public on the Crusades, but my guess is that even in “Catholic” universities, such as Notre Dame, his message is ignored. Never mind that his account is pretty much the same as the noted medievalist, Norman Cantor. Notre Dame and Georgetown just want to be accepted by the “Ruling Class,” the once Protestant and now secularist Establishment.
