A Palm Sunday reflection from days gone by

Courtesy of the always informative The American Catholic.  History is a treasure trove of lessons learned from those who came before.  Today historical studies are a sham, a farce, a club with which to bludgeon the past and venerate ourselves despite our stunning lack of accomplishments.  But there was a time when we learned of the rich and wonderful heritage of the Christian West and the United States, as well as those wonderfully flawed yet fascinating individuals who laid the groundwork for our nation.
