On October 7, 1571, in the Gulf of
Lepanto the war galleys of the Holy League squared
off against those of the Ottoman Turks, rowed by tens of
thousands of Christian slaves. The battle decided the
future of Europe, yet few Europeans (and even fewer
Americans) know the story, much less how close Western
Europe came to suffering an Islamic conquest.
Today with our own U.S. embassies in
flames, we must never forget:
The
Battle of Lepanto
 Christopher Check, Director of Development for
Catholic Answers, believes that Europe and America without Christ are emptied of meaning and that Islam,
the age-old enemy of the West, is on the rise again.
As the political and
religious conflicts of the 16th-Century tore Europe
asunder, the Turk threatened to devour Christendom. She
was saved only by the daring of Don John of Austria, the
faith of Pope Saint Pius V, and the intercession of the
Blessed Virgin. What will save the Christian West
today?
Christopher Check holds a degree in
English from Rice University. He served for seven years
as a field artillery officer in the Marine Corps. He has
lectured on Church history throughout North America and
Europe and on October 2, 2012 he will be in Forest Lake,
Minnesota.
