. . (57-62) In other words, the Bishop is a true representative of the Renaissance spirit. St. Praxed (also known as Praxedes or Praxedis) lived during the second century.

Stealth Campaigns The battle between Christian Right politicians and anti-Christian Right politicians has been a long one, most distinguishably beginning in the 1920s with the clash between evolutionists and anti-evolutionists (pp. 3).
