For anyone having trouble logging in to view the videos

I'm sure I'm not the only one having trouble remembering how to log in to view the online content at Ascension Press (for those who purchased the study guide).

Here's the link I was given in my confirmation email: https://evangelization.com/login. I then get the login page, so put in my user name and password, and click login.

Then I get a page that looks like this:

Click on "View Study Content" and you'll get a page that looks like this:

Now you can watch any and all of the sessions.

Hope that helps!

Recommended Reading:

Mark recommended the book he's reading right now, The Concise History of the Crusades by Thomas Madden. What's odd is that Amazon shows "A New Concise History of the Crusades", but the publication date is earlier than this one.

Mark is really enjoying this. We heard of it from Father Mitch Pacwa who recommended it on his Open Line (EWTN radio) show.

There are many recommended books listed in the study guide. I'll list them briefly here:

Belloc, "The Crusades, the World's Debate"
Karsh, "Islamic Iimperialism, a History"
Pernoud, "The Crusaders, the Struggle for the Holy Land"
Pernoud, "Those Terrible Middle Ages!"
Peters, "Inquisition"
Riley-Smith, "What Were the Crusades?"
Strayer, "The Albigensian Crusades"
Walsh, "Characters of the Inquisition"

For those who were not present Monday night, we wanted to inform those of you who know Theresa Brown that her nephew died Sunday of an apparent drug overdose. She and her sister Connie were on their way home from a conference at Franciscan University when they got the phone call that David was found dead. So Theresa is now in Virginia helping her sister with funeral arrangements.

Please pray for Theresa, Connie, their family--and especially for the repose of David's soul.

And many thanks to those who prayed for me to get a good night's sleep--I did! Now can you keep it up? I haven't slept as well as I did Monday night.

By the way, if you want to view my prayer request blog, check it out here. And feel free to submit requests--after you read the "about" page.

Mondays from now on

Note that we will be meeting tonight at 6:30 and on Mondays through the end of the study--except for June 30.

Please also note the new tab for the Schedule. Try it out now!

Hey, today is St. Justin Martyr's feast day--we learned about him in one of our first sessions. Read this for an eyewitness testimony of his martyrdom.

And while I've got you, tonight Steve Weidenkopf will continue to talk about the Monophysite heresy and then introduce the Monothelite heresy. If you'd like to hear correct pronunciations, click the audio link that will come up on the following words:

• Monophysite. Monophysitism doesn't have it's own audio file, but you can hear "Monophysitic" below to give you the idea.
• Monothelite. The audio for Monothelitism is below, although I think most scholars would not make the 4th syllable "layh" but simply "li".
