    I was getting there Jorge!

    Was going to save the Knights of Columbus martyrs for next month, when I joined up to the KofC!

    (The painting at the top of your post was of the 6 - at the time - beatified members who were martyred. After the paint was dry, “Father Jose Trinidad Rangel Montaño, a diocesan priest from Leon and member of Council 2484, and Claretian Father Andres Sola Molist, a Spaniard, and member of Council 1963. Both were executed for their faith in Rancho de San Joaquin, Mexico, in April 1927.”)

    Maybe we should divy up the rest of them? You get England, Vietnam, Korea & Japan, I get Armenia, Eastern Europe, Ireland, & China…? We can split up the North Americans, Ugandans, and the rest.. We can work something out. More than enough martyrs to go around!

    That’s a great idea brother!

    Can I trade you one of my countries for Armenia? :D

    P.S. I was born in Chihuahua, Mexico. Just like Fr. Pedro de Jesus Maldonado Lucero! :)

  3. Jorge L. Flores Says:

    BTW, CONGRATULATIONS ON JOINING THE KofC!

  4. A Simple Sinner Says:

    I’ll trade you Armenia for Vietnam… BUT I am going to want some of the North American Martyrs and we are going to have to have a sit-down on the Northern Europeans…

    We can work something out.

    Not a member of the Knights yet… More news on that to come as it unfolds. Have you looked into membership?

  5. A Simple Sinner Says:

    You get the Spanish Civil War… Wading through all the websites is far easier for someone who can speak some Spanish!

    Sounds good to me!
