Hestages in American movies are often used in this regard.
By contrast a captured Iranian soldier has no value. Indeed, they shoot their own.
An Iranian killed for their 'cause ' is a martyr rewarded by heaven.
They kill women thought to be decadent by showing a shoulder, while, though only nominally...

'Meet Little Li, the brave 10-11 year old girl from 1950s Communist China.

When soldiers desecrated her church, imprisoned the priest, and scattered the Blessed Sacrament on the floor like trash... most people stayed away in fear. But not Little Li.

Every day, this courageous child sneaked into the locked church, knelt in silent adoration for a full hour (preparing her heart), then reverently consumed one Host from the...

From Totus Tuus Fb page today:

"In a powerful affirmation of our faith in the Real Presence, the Vatican has officially recognized a Eucharistic miracle that took place over a decade ago in India.

On November 15, 2013, during a morning Mass at Christ the King Church in Vilakkannur, Kerala (Syro-Malabar Archdiocese of Tellicherry), Fr. Thomas Pathickal was celebrating when, at the elevation of the large host during" consecration, he noticed a mysterious...

Dachau – the great cemetery of Catholic priests

This article comprises excerpts from memoirs of Catholic priests, who practiced heroic virtues.

They endured various forms of torture but remained faithful to Christ and their priesthood in their ministry to fellow inmates and in caring for the sick.

A cherished forum member sent me a relic of Blesssed Solanus Casey. It has been on my nightstand for a few months.

My symptoms are gone. The pancreas is still in atrophy, but functional. I feel very blessed and thankful.

I should explain to non Americans that Joe Biden is the Vice President of the USA and a Catholic. He comes, I believe, from a particualarly Liberal strand of American politics , one which would for instance be very pro abortion and pro homosexual , 'Rights'.
