    Is the Catholic Church risking the dilution of its apostolic tradition with the upcoming Synod on Synodality?

    Especially around Christmas, we Hugheses tend to get weird about playlists. What music do you want streaming through the house anyway?

Pursuit of the guilty was unremitting. Act of Oblivion follows the careers of three regicides and Civil War veterans who fled to the British colonies in America.
