Pope Saint Symmachus, The Pope Who Almost Wasn't
By Debra Booton McCoy

Who are your Heroes? 1,000 Years of Denigration

The Ten Commandments Partitioned: Protestant or Catholic Way? Daniel 7 will Help
The Ten Commandments Partitioned: Protestant or Catholic Way? Daniel 7 will Help
By Scott Pauline
In Daniel 7, I always wondered the apocalyptic meaning of the ten horns of the fourth beast. Three of them are uprooted and in their place comes up the little horn. It is greater than his other fellows and utters proud boasts and blasphemies, with eyes like a man and a mouth like a man, persecuting the Holy Ones, and thinking to change the "feast days and the Law".

Pope Gelasius, 49th Pope

Gelasius, son of Valerius, was a Roman citizen of African descent, very possibly Berber.

Gelasius was an ordained priest and acted as secretary for Pope Felix III, writing many of his ecclesiastical documents for him.

Little Nellie of Holy God"--The Toddler Who Inspired a Pope

Ellen Organ was born on August 24, 1903 in what was known as the "married quarters" of the Royal Infantry Barracks in Waterford, Ireland. Her dad, William, was a soldier in the British army.
