Much appreciated.<br /><br />CJ: You have stated the case clearly and eloquently. <br /><br />Felix: Indeed.

That grace is why most Catholics, up until recent decades where we have a counterfeit church with counterfeit sacraments, have managed to honor their vows through the deaths of children, poverty as well as wealth, infidelity and anything else the Devil can throw at them. Those who failed did not cooperate with that grace. It is that simple.

It is well worth watching. Don't miss the cigar smoking 'Ruritanian Hussars', very dubious characters. There is also Franz Josef in relaxed mood sharing a joke with the married couple while his heir apparent, Franz Ferdinand, fusses with a bouquet of flowers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-81756763597786886492016-04-12T15:00:28.156-05:002016-04-12T15:00:28.156-05:00That's because he is full of crap.That's because he is full of crap.Not Protnoreply@blogger.com
