In 1837, Basile Moreau, C.S.C., founded the Congregation of Holy Cross (C.S.C.), a community of Catholic priests and brothers, to minister to and educate the people of France devastated by the French Revolution.

Free Download N. Griffin, "Caucasus: Mountain Men and Holy Wars"
English | 2002 | ISBN: 0747236577, 0312308531 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 0.4 mb
"The Caucasus is a jagged land. With Turkey to the west, Iran to the south, and Russia to the north, the Caucasus is trapped between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. If it didn’t already possess the highest mountain range in Europe, the political pressure exerted from all sides would have forced the land to crack and rise. A borderland between Christian and Muslim worlds, the Caucasus is the front line of a fascinating and formidable clash of cultures: Russia versus the predominantly Muslim mountains." "Writer Nicholas Griffin travels to the mountains of the Caucasus to find the root of today’s conflict. Mapping the rise of Islam through myth, history, and politics, this travelogue centers on the story of Imam Shamil, the greatest Muslim warrior of the nineteenth century, who led a twenty-five-year campaign against the invading Russians. Griffin follows the Imam’s legacy into the war-torn present and finds his namesake, the Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev, continuing his struggle." Today, the balance of power in the Caucasus is based, as before, on Russia’s relationship with her borderlands and the thorny question of Chechnya’s desire for independence. The matter is complicated by a growing Islamic movement and a reputed 100 billion barrels of Caspian oil. The explosiveness of such a combination has fueled conflict after conflict, and still shows no sign of abating. Caucasus lifts the lid on a little-known but crucially important area of world.

Free Download Crusaders: The Epic History of the Wars for the Holy Lands by Dan Jones, Penguin Audio
English | 2019 | ISBN: B07VKD24MR | Format: MP3 / 16 hours and 7 minutes | 880 Mb
A major new history of the Crusades with an unprecedented wide scope, told in a tableau of portraits of people on all sides of the wars, from the author of Powers and Thrones.
For more than 1,000 years, Christians and Muslims lived side by side, sometimes at peace and sometimes at war. When Christian armies seized Jerusalem in 1099, they began the most notorious period of conflict between the two religions. Depending on who you ask, the fall of the holy city was either an inspiring legend or the greatest of horrors. In Crusaders, Dan Jones interrogates the many sides of the larger story, charting a deeply human and avowedly pluralist path through the crusading era.
Expanding the usual timeframe, Jones looks to the roots of Christian-Muslim relations in the eighth century and tracks the influence of crusading to present day. He widens the geographical focus to far-flung regions home to so-called enemies of the Church, including Spain, North Africa, southern France, and the Baltic states. By telling intimate stories of individual journeys, Jones illuminates these centuries of war not only from the perspective of popes and kings, but from Arab-Sicilian poets, Byzantine princesses, Sunni scholars, Shi’ite viziers, Mamluk slave soldiers, Mongol chieftains, and barefoot friars.
