On this day:

AD 1512, Michelangelo's painting on the Sistine Chapel ceiling is exhibited for the first time. And until this day it is a glory of our Holy Faith and of our Greco-Roman Catholic Culture!

AD 1582, Maurice of Nassau, the son of William of Orange, becomes the governor of Holland, Zeeland and Utrecht. And protstantism tightens its stranglehold on Northern Europe, destroying the European Unity which the EU cannot even begin to understand!

AD 1946, Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope John Paul II, was ordained as a priest. R+I+P.

AD 1966, At least eight people are killed including an American officer when Viet Cong artillery shells the South Vietnamese capital. The US had «encouraged» France to withdraw and then got bogged down themselves. Pray for those, both French and Allied who died in Indo-China in defence of the West.
