In this powerful episode of Catholic Education Matters, host Troy Van Vliet welcomes longtime family friend and faith advocate Angie Dee to discuss the beauty, history, and spiritual power of the Rosary. Angie shares her personal journey of faith and education, including her theological studies and ministry work, and recounts her recent visit to Rome during the historic election of the new pope, Leo XIV—named in honor of Pope Leo XIII, the “Pope of the Rosary.” The episode explores Marian apparitions, the story of Blessed Bartolo Longo’s incredible conversion from satanic priest to apostle of the Rosary, the historical impact of the Rosary at pivotal moments like the Battle of Lepanto, and its power as a spiritual weapon against evil.
