Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is getting ready for the Pope Benedict's visit.  Is he going to call for a Crusade against the Muslims who prey on helpless Christians around the world?


In the Gospels, we read that St. James is a hothead, asking the Lord to send fire and brimstone to the unbelieving towns.  I guess the Lord uses people, even with their tempers, for good.



Video:  River of Light. A short clip of Spain's struggle with the Muslims. St James the Apostle, Patron of Spain, secured a win in the battle with the Muslims over a tribute of 100 virgins to the Muslim Caliph.  The caliph can get his own virgins in hell.
