On This Day:

480 BC, Greeks defeat the Persians in a naval battle at Salamis. And our Greco-Roman Catholic Civilisation is off to a running start!

AD 1587, In France, Huguenot Henri de Navarre routs Duke de Joyeuse's larger Catholic force at Coutras. And if he had not thought "Paris is worth a Mass", Catholicism would have been a persecuted Faith in the Eldest Daughter of the Church!

AD 1714, George I of England crowned. And any realistic hope for the Restoration of the True Faith in Our Lady's Isle is set back centuries!

AD 1632, Sir Christopher Wren, astronomer and architect (and Freemason and Anti-Catholic!) born.
