Was the United States founded, before Jamestown, before Plymouth, by Catholicism -- at a spot unknown to many where a Cross now stands? Was there a hidden mystical element, from Columbus to the establishment of the first Florida settlements? Does the nation's oldest city -- St. Augustine, also the site of the first officially documented Mass -- factor into future events? What does it portend for the nation's future -- a perspective from George Washington to Donald J. Trump?
In his most powerful book about current events and the "prophetic pulse" since The Final Hour, a huge Catholic bestseller in 1992, Michael H. Brown takes the reader on a fast-paced tour through America's often hidden history, surveying everything from culture to politics to apparitions of the Virgin Mary in a sweep through the decades and centuries that lead up to this present hour -- and what is America's last chance to recover -- to reclaim -- its Christian and Catholic foundation.
How many knew that Columbus was a third-order Franciscan? Or that comets figured into major events in a remarkable way, or how seers -- many accepted as authentic by the Church -- have "seen" through the news to grant us a perspective of what this nation and continent and world may soon face? Never before has a book about America's history and current situation been framed in quite this way, with a dynamic style that informs and sometimes startles and often serves as inspiration -- on a personal and public level.
It is time to act. It is time to take back what the enemy has stolen. It is a final opportunity -- the current moment -- to recover the Christianity of a nation that has been torn asunder by the conflict between Gospel and anti-Gospel, between Christ and the spirit of anti-christ, between what is holy and secular humanism and an often occult-inspired culture that have sought to place the nation in the hands of a hidden global elite.
Will it do so, will we return to that Cross -- or do we face a moment of truth that will lead to truly major trends and events, out of any politician's expectation or control?
