Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! We have often reflected that the original and traditional mission of the Church is to work for the “restoration of all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth.” But the mission of the Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment anti-Catholic movements has been to achieve a revolution against the old…
