    Dear Allison:
    It was Divine Intervention which led me to your Apologetics series on YouTube. Now I have found your site.
    I am still watching the series, but thought I would write to let you know how informative and how. Important this type of information is to me and I am certain many Catholics.
    I was raised in the Ukrainian Catholic Church. My Mother, prior to civilian life, for 15 years had been a Nun. We, my Brother and I, were raised in the Church.
    The problem is, is that Mother has passed away, and now, I have all of these questions. You are helping to answer them.
    I have a friend who has never been baptized. I have baptized her, but I fall short when I am asked some hard and direct questions about our faith.
    The media has almost destroyed us to the ignorant masses, and the infiltration of our Church and Rome by zionists was planned long ago. I have researched this to a great extent. As well, the Jesuit order and the Kabbalist infiltration.
    At any rate, let me thank you again, and I look forward to learning a great deal more from you!
    The knowledge I glean and add to my existing arsenal, (files), will be further armour and ammunition to prepare for my personal fight for our Church against the enemies She has from within and without.
    May God Bless and Keep You and Yours, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
    Amen!

      May God continue to bless you always!
      I will keep you in my prayers. Please keep me in yours.

    These videos are brilliant. I answer questions like this on our Q&A Forums (oswc.org/stmike/qa/) all the time, but in words. A multimedia presentation is always better. I will be using your videos.

    Also, we intend on inducting you into the Hall of Honor (saint-mike.org/hallhonor/) for your good work of apologetics.

    God Bless,
    Bro. Ignatius Mary

      Please keep me in your prayers and know you are in mine.

      God bless,
      Allison
