Here’s a video of your president for you. (See below.) Wait, make sure you haven’t eaten yet. If you surf to YouTube to watch this on the Susan B.

And she’s in a position to know a whole lot more about it than I am. Her book is an eye-opener, as was her interview with Raymond Arroyo along with Sr. Carol Keehan on EWTN‘s The World Over.
