If you are interested in sampling the kind of material our conference offers, and if you are inclined to meaty, manly biography packaged with erudite literary flourish, you will do well to read “Saint Boniface and the Missionary Culture of the Faith,” which we have just posted on the Catholicism.org site.

Conference speaker, R. Cort Kirkwood, interviewed by Howard Phillips, of the Conservative Caucus. This video is about a half hour.
The Dishonoring of a Naval Officer and a Catholic Gentleman, John Sharpe.
In the latest fallout from the malignant SPLC attack against Catholic traditionalists, John Sharpe has been forbidden to speak at Catholic University. The following spot-on commentary comes from Diogenes, the commentator at Catholic World News:
In San Antonio, devout Catholics complained to the archbishop when St. Mary’s University hosted a campaign rally for Senator Hillary Clinton.

This offer can be extended only to a limited number of priests and will terminate without notice when the number is reached. Interested priests should contact us as soon as possible to make arrangements.

As we make preparations for our 2008 Conference, please note that tapes and CDs of our 2007 conference.
It is an annual gathering wherein informative Catholic speakers address important topics of timely and enduring interest. Daily Mass is offered in the traditional Roman Rite. Vendors carrying religious articles (books, statues, multimedia, etc.) offer their goods for sale. Past conferences have resulted in vocations, returns to a sacramental life, and other life changes. The event presents a wonderful opportunity for Catholic camaraderie.
Don’t miss it. It comes only once a year!
