Remembering D-Day, with help from Ronald Reagan
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Jun 06, 2014
It’s 70 years since D-Day, and it’s 30 years (believe it or not) since President Ronald Reagan delivered his memorable speech in Normandy about “The Boys of Pointe du Hoc.” If you’ve never seen it—or haven’t seen it recently—it’s well worth a few minutes, as a reminder of what American soldiers sacrificed, and why. Reagan at his very best.

About 30 years ago, Malachi Martin wrote in his book "The Jesuits" that they were at war with the papacy. The war was to decentralize the teaching power of the Church by returning it to local churches, and to replace the "otherworldly purpose" of the Church with the political liberation of the suffering classes. Now that the Jesuits have seized the papacy, Martin prophesied what Jesuit Bergoglio intends, as he hands the Church over to the socialists, all in the name of mercy.
