The history you are about to read is a miraculous event authenticated and recorded at the Vatican over 400 years ago. Sacred archives recall the miracle with the title, 'The Battle of Lepanto." Firstly, its historical background must be told. The Ottoman Empire was a Turkish state in the Middle East from the 14th to 20th centuries. As their 'Jihads' or aggressions increased, it became one of the world's most powerful entities during the 16th century. The Empire then became commonly known as the 'Khalifah,' or 'Islamic State.'On May 29, 1453, the Islamic State conquered the holy Christian lands of...

I found the following quote at the Catholic Mom of 10 website. Very prophetic words from our wonderful, saintly Archbishop: "The world is rapidly being divided into two camps, the comradeship of anti-Christ and the brotherhood of Christ. The lines between these two are being drawn. How long the battle will be we know not; whether swords will have to be unsheathed we know not; whether blood will have to be shed we know not; whether it will be an armed conflict we know not. But in a conflict between truth and darkness, truth cannot lose." Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Is that Martin Sheens voice?

Every teacher knows that it is easier to win a mind with a mistaken interest than one that has no interest at all. The greatest of the Apostles, Paul, came to the Lord through the flames of hate, and the reason of his hate remained the reason of his love - a vivid recognition of all the Person of Christ stood for in relation to humanity. The sensuous passion of Magdalen finally swept in the opposite directions and became the supreme dedication of her love. But what is extremely difficult for the blessings of heaven to work upon is indifference...

CHARLIE Sheen, star of TV sitcom Two and a Half Men, married fiancee Brooke Mueller yesterday. It is the third marriage for Sheen, 42, and the first for Mueller, 30, a real estate agent and former actor. They were engaged in July last year. Sheen has enjoyed a long career in Hollywood, ranging from TV shows to such movies as 1986 Vietnam War film Platoon and baseball comedy Major League.

The prostitute who brought down New York governor Eliot Spitzer once dressed as a cheerleader for a romp with Charlie Sheen, says her old pimp. Ashley Dupre was 19 when she took part in £10,000-a-night threesomes with the Platoon actor. Pimp Jason Itzler, 41, said: "Sheen got the girls to dress up as cheerleaders and chant his name while performing sex acts. They loved Charlie. "Ashley was a real workaholic. I wasn't amazed to hear she was doodling Spitzer. Advertisement "Boy that guy was a hypocrite. A self-righteous white knight enjoying his own dark nights." Ashley, 22, joined escort agency...

Sheen, who starred as a U.S. president who was a Notre Dame graduate in NBC's "The West Wing," is to receive the medal at the school's May 18 commencement.

One of the most consequential Catholics of modern times is also one of the least heralded and most enigmatic. His name is William P. “Bill” Clark, known as “The Judge,” because of his decade of service on the bench, including the California Supreme Court. Those appointments followed his service as chief of staff to Gov. Ronald Reagan in the 1960s and preceded his service as President Reagan’s deputy secretary of state, national security adviser and secretary of the interior in the 1980s — the positions through which Bill Clark changed history as Reagan’s most trusted aide and adviser.The Clark story...

Martin Sheen questions the official story about Building 7.

The History Channel is running a pretty good special on the assorted groups behind the 9-11 conspiracy theories. I decided to take a look at some of these sites, particularly the site devoted to the "documentary" called "Loose Change". This is the one that Charlie Sheen is supposed to be considering narrating. What I found was the usual collection of goofballs, morons and runaway nutjobs. It seems no amount of factual information can influence these people. What they display is the expected amount of self-delusional fantasies and paranoia. What I found that I DID'T expect (but should have) was that,...

SUPPORT for the loopy 9/11 documentary "Loose Change" - which argues that the World Trade Center terror attack was part of a secret U.S. government conspiracy - is quickly losing steam. A source tells us Charlie Sheen "is having second thoughts" about being involved in an updated version of the flick, which has a huge following on YouTube. As Page Six reported in March, Sheen had agreed to narrate the ridiculous flick, presumably to give it some needed Hollywood sizzle. The conspiracy documentary got a further boost earlier this month when Virgin Atlantic announced it would offer the current, narration-free...

O'Donnell, Sheen Back 9/11 Conspiracy Theories Stars Cite Movie As Evidence Of Government Conspiracy Image Andrew Kirtzman Reporting (CBS) NEW YORK A controversial new film about 9/11 is raising eyebrows, not only for its content, but also for the people involved in the project: Rosie O'Donnell and Charlie Sheen. The sitcom actor and talk show hostess have both become spokespeople for the 9/11 conspiracy movement. "If the government is lying about flight 93, is it hard to believe the rest is a lie?" That line can be heard on the video "Loose Change," which has been floating around the Internet...

SOME celebrities don't know when to keep their traps shut - like Charlie Sheen and Rosie O'Donnell, who are throwing their weight behind the twisted theory that the United States government was behind the 9/11 terror attacks. Page Six has learned that Sheen, the hooker-loving Hollywood hunk, has agreed to narrate a new version of the loopy YouTube documentary "Loose Change," which claims that a corrupt faction within the federal government orchestrated the mass murder at the World Trade Center. Sources say Sheen - whose father, Martin Sheen, has been arrested 63 times protesting on behalf of various leftist causes...

Via Cosmos-Liturgy-SexArchbishop Fulton Sheen’s Cause for Canonization has been moving forward quite well lately. I hear that it appears that the miracle needed for his beatification will be found among those which have been pouring in recently (one of them, which I believe may already have been verified, was from a woman from my parish). A concern is that since he was such a prolific writer, the review of his voluminous writings may not be completed for some time and could, therefore, delay the process.For the review process, each document must be reviewed by two qualified persons. Qualified means: a...

In case you're keen for my $.02, I've previously stated that Fulton Sheen stands as the greatest American Catholic of all time. In terms of impact, none other before or since comes close. First on radio and then on television, over many Sunday and Tuesday nights, Sheen's panache, wit and humanity singlehandedly dismantled what remained of the Establishment myths of Catholic immigrants keen to establish Roman domination of the halls of power. Having captivated the popular imagination, he moved the church into the vanguard of the American mainstream. Barely three decades after Al Smith's faith kept him from the...

Naturally, the film is in black white but is an absolute treasure. Enjoy! Our Lady of Sorrows LINK

PEORIA - Copies of a report on an alleged miracle that took place in 1999 through the intercession of the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen were signed and sealed Sunday by Roman Catholic Church officials. The 500-page report and supporting documents will now be delivered to Rome by canon lawyer Andrea Ambrosi, postulator of the cause to have Sheen recognized as a saint. There, Ambrosi will argue to a Vatican panel that this case and another being prepared in the Diocese of Pittsburgh are evidence of Sheen's sainthood. Sheen, who was born in the Woodford County town of El Paso...

"Extra" was first to tell you about Denise Richards' shocking allegations of abuse and threats from ex, Charlie Sheen. Now, we've got an all-new bombshell. Only "Extra" can reveal that Denise has been secretly dating the soon-to-be ex of Heather Locklear, Richie Sambora. Locklear was Sheen's former "Spin City" co-star, and she comforted Denise after the split. Now, just days after Denise slammed Charlie in court, asking for a restraining order, Charlie is setting the record straight, answering the allegations that he threatened Denise's life and verbally abused her in front of their kids. "It was horrifying," Sheen said of...

April 22, 2006 -- JUST when you thought Charlie Sheen had given up his old tricks, his estranged wife, Denise Richards, says the hooker-loving sitcom star threatened to kill her and enjoys gay and kiddie porn - stomach-turning habits that put their kids at risk. In papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday, Richards says Sheen pushed her, shoved her and threatened her life, screaming, "I hope you [bleep]ing die, bitch!" after she discovered his penchant for visiting the sicko porn sites. Richards, 35, first filed for divorce in March 2005, after less than three years of marriage, but...
