Lepanto, Longo, and Our Lady of the Rosary — Saint in Progress Episode #72

Saint In Progress

This week Mike retells the story of the Battle of Lepanto, from where we get the Month of the Rosary as well as the Marian titles “Our Lady of the Rosary” and “Our Lady of Victory”. He also explores the life of St. Bartolo Longo and how he lost his faith in college, became a satanic priest, returned to the Church, and became a champion for the Rosary as well as a canonized saint. Also this episode, an urgent message from Bishop Burbidge from Arlington, Virginia, asking Catholics to fast and pray the Rosary this month for the defeat of two crucial ballot items in November.
