Do you know of an online source of the story of the founding of the original statue of OLOGS in the woods during a thunderstorm?

Hello A.D.,
TIA has published several articles on the history of that statue:
The story is also related in the introduction to the novena by Fr. Jose M. Urrate:
We hope this is of help to you.

Adam & Eve: ‘Poetry & Symbolism’
Attached please find the infamous bishop Robert Barron and his discussion of the fall in the garden. It’s not so much that he describes one of the most critical events in history as just “poetry and symbolism”; but rather, he mentions that he believes in evolution, meaning that all of us are simply foolish, but more developed, Catholic monkeys. (Watch it here)
I share this because in Atila's wonderful works against the Second Vatican Council, he more than adequately describes that the modernists have this false view of us simply as ‘developed animals’, i.e. lacking immortal souls.
Again we thank you for the profound nature of the work you do, and we pray these terrible enemies of Holy Mother Church will be converted soon.
Ave Maria,
D.M.

List of Good Books for Children & Adolescents
I am new to your site and I am having a bit of trouble navigating.
I am looking for a list of books and authors that are appropriate for my children (ages 7 to 28) and myself. Do you have a booklist available on your site?
It is disheartening to find that so many 'classic' books should not be read. If there is such a list please point me in the right direction; any help would be appreciated.
In J.M.J.,
C.L.

Hello C.L,
Thank you for your inquiry. It inspired us to start a list to offer to our readers. You can read the list or download and print this pdf file.
This list is in a preliminary stage, and we hope to keep adding to the sections and updating as we find and read other works.
We also have articles that review books in our Formation of Children and Youth section and on our Book Reviews page (E.g. Black Beauty, Chronicles of Narnia, Little Women, Our Lady’s Wardrobe, Under Angel’s Wings, St. Dominic Savio, books on the South in the Civil War, and others).
We hope this will be of help to you and some of our other readers who have been asking similar questions.
Cordially,

Abrahamic House to Open in 2022
A project to unite the three monotheistic religions – Catholicism, Judaism and Islamism – is in motion. It consists in building in the same place a Church, a synagogue and a mosque. The project is being carried out by the Arabs in Abu Dhabi – they have the money as the West is buying up their oil – and has the full support of Francis, of course.
This is an important step for the Panreligion, which was one of the old dreams of Freemasonry and other Secret Forces.
There is an analysis on this planned inauguration, which I reproduce below, followed by a video that you may watch here.
I warn you that the author of the article, Eugene Bach, has many personal opinions and interpretations which are open to discussion, besides the important information he offers. He is part of the "Back to Jerusalem" movement, which is a Protestant group that believes in a providential messianic mission of China and other Eastern countries to install the reign of Christ on earth.
I know that you have reported on the Abrahamic House before, so I want to catch you up with the latest on this topic.
Keep up the good work.
E.J.
A One World Religion Headquarters is set to open in 2022. The headquarters will be called The Abrahamic Family House and is being built on an island in the middle eastern city of Abu Dhabi.
The headquarters is being done in collaboration with Pope Francis and Sunni Muslim leader, Sheikh Ahmen al-Tayeb, after they both signed a global peace covenant called the Document of Human Fraternity for World Peace.
The stated purpose of the Abrahamic Family House is to bring understanding and tolerance among the faiths, but there are a couple of notable challenges. First, Abu Dhabi is a part of the UAE where it is illegal for Christians to proselytize and conversion from Islam is prohibited. The Pope represents Roman Catholicism where Christians are free to convert to Islam, but citizens of Abu Dhabi are not free to choose Christ.
Perhaps, like the Abrahamic Family House that promises tolerance and understanding, the UAE constitution also guarantees freedom of religion “in accordance with established customs,” but the devil is in the details. Though certain practices (like conversion from Islam) are directly prohibited, penal code for the UAE defers to Sharia Law, which strictly prohibits apostasy.
The One World Religion Headquarters will have three buildings; one building each representing the mosque, church, and synagogue. However, the church is not permitted to have a cross on the building as a method of identifying it, as it is illegal to display a Christian cross on a building in the UAE.
Though usually not enforced, teaching that Jesus is the only God is considered to be an act of insulting Allah or the Prophet Muhammad and offenders can be subject to imprisonment for five or more years, fined from 250,000 dirhams ($68,100) to two million dirhams ($545,000), and Christians may be deported.
To add to the confusion of bringing understanding and tolerance, Sunni Muslim leader, Sheikh Ahmen al-Tayeb, who is widely touted as a ‘moderate’ Muslim, strongly believes that Muslims who convert from Islam to any other religion (including Christianity) should be killed.
So, if the idea of the One World Religion Headquarters is to bring tolerance and understanding, then why build it in a Muslim country where conversion is illegal and why do it together with a Muslim cleric who teaches that Muslim apostates should be killed? Isn’t that the opposite of tolerance and understanding?
Connected to this construction project will be an interfaith council to oversee projects which aim to advance tolerance, but perhaps the tolerance will be only one directional.
In December 2020, the United Nations passed an anti-blasphemy law that most Christians are not aware of. The loosely translated law, as embraced by the UAE, prohibits any teachings against Islam, including Biblical teachings which could be considered offensive.
Most Christians understand the term “One world religion” to refer to the merging of all religions, including Christianity, into a single global religion. Many Christians believe that a “One world religion” is directly linked to the last days when the Antichrist will establish a one world religion which will be associated with a one world government and lead to the mark of the beast.
What role will China play in the establishment of a one world religion, one world government, and mark of the beast? In our new book, CHINA AND END TIME PROPHECY, we outline the role that China is playing in the end times and what to look for during the last days.

Our Lady of Good Success is a Church-approved apparition from 400 years ago. She made prophecies that pertain to our own times, to the nuns of Quito, Ecuador, where her statue is situated. I have read all of the best books I could find about her, and still learned much that was new in this documentary film.
Part One has just been released, it is 45 minutes. This is meat and potatoes stuff, with hard truths about what is happening today in the Church and the world. Many of the prophecies have been fulfilled.
For example, 250 years before it occurred, she predicted the assassination of President Garcia Moreno of Ecuador, who would be killed after he consecrated Ecuador to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. (Yours truly wrote a short book about it.)
Just lately hearing about her? Well she predicted that too, that she would be re-discovered after the mid-20th century, as an antidote for out times and as a precursor to the inevitable Marian triumph.
Be sure you watch it from the beginning. Note: with YouTube it will take you to the place where you left off if you resume playing at another time so you don't have to watch it all at once.
Watch here.
