St. Joseph’s Church in Newark, New Jersey has its own set of artificial catacombs, filled with wax images of Early Christian martyrs. Fr. Mateo Amoros, the assistant pastor back in the 1930’s, apparently decided that what was missing from his church’s basement was underground tunnels, like in the old country. So he made some.

History Channel has a reputation for digging out weird anti-Catholic or anti-Christian myths, but I want to give it credit where credit is due.

She was a good girl. Everyone said so. There wasn’t a single mark against her character. Poor. Humble. Pious. Obedient. She visited the sick in her little village of Domrémy. She helped her parents and her siblings. A very, very hard worker. She could spin wool until the cows came home. But her family could only afford a few cows so usually she just kept spinning wool. Spinning wool and...
