In the midst of the Federal Government's war against the Southern people of the Confederate States of America, the Great Seal was commissioned from England. The story of its creation, secret journey to Richmond, loss and recovery after the War is unknown to many in the South, or the North. The Great Seal is the emblem of the sovereignty of the Confederate States of America as a nation, and also its coat of arms. This book is a collection of articles about the Great Seal and its history. It is a thrilling story about the search for clues as to whether it had survived Yankee pillage and plunder with the fall of the South. And the story of Southerners ultimately tracking down its whereabouts, leading to its final recovery, and its survival to this day as the continuing symbol of the Southern nation.

"Christianity is Insanity," first and foremost, holds words written in "The Bible" accountable for their usage, meaning, and claims of reality. Throughout my book, biblical chapters, verses, and words are quoted and then examined, scrutinized, questioned, disputed, and left exposed as to whether the truth has been adequately and accurately presented by those same biblical chapters, verses, and words. Word-by-word analysis of the biblical verses quoted are "put under the microscope." Every single discussion of a biblical "story" or "event" that is presented in "Christianity is Insanity" arrives at the conclusion that each story or event is fictional - without basis in reality, substantiated by utilizing the words of "The Bible" as evidence against itself.

The Catholic Bishops in the Confederate States strongly supported the cause of Southern Independence, the validity of the Confederate Government, and the responsibility of all Southerners to recognize their duties as Confederate citizens. Catholic Bishops endured the vicissitudes of Lincoln's War along with their flocks, and did everything in their power to assist the Confederate cause, though unsuccessful in the end as Federal troops overran the States and Territories of the Confederacy. This work tells the forgotten story of these loyal prelates, their diplomacy and episcopal work for the Confederate States of America.
