    "From the hosts of the popular NBC Sports show Men in Blazers and one of the biggest soccer podcasts in the world, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies will profile the greatest male and female soccer players of all time. With the same signature humor as they brought to their New York Times Bestseller Encyclopedia Blazertannica, Bennett and Davis will feature a mini biography, fun facts and an illustrated or photographic portrait of both new and legendary soccer players, from Pelâe, Maradona, and Messi to Mia Hamm, Marta, and Megan Rapinoe. In their one-of-a-kind laugh out loud style and schtick, the guys will tell the stories of triumph, skill, and tenacity, experienced by household names like David Beckham and Alex Morgan, along with lesser-known icons such as Garrincha, the Brazilian star of the 1960's who was born with one leg six inches shorter than the other and Briana Scurry, who trail-blazed a path for young, black, soccer-playing women. Collectively, these stories will create a comprehensive history of soccer-its evolution and growth-as told by the lives of the legends of the game and the way their play transformed the world of soccer itself"--

    Prior to Vatican II, 80% of young people leaving Catholic schools practised the faith, today, 3% do. The much vaunted New Pentecost is seemingly no quite so awesome as the first. This catastrophic collapse is primarily the result of the heresy of Modernism, which has seeped into the Church's blood stream like AIDs, sapping her vitality and reducing her to a shadow of her former self. Since Vatican II, with one or two honourable exceptions, Western sees have been filled by Rome with dreary, vacuous, bog-standard Modernists. Under the leadership of these men, Christ Body in the British Isles, and elsewhere, has simply haemorrhaged away? It is also no coincidence that the horribly sex-abuse scandals, mostly perpetrated by predatory sodomites, occurred on their watch. To cure a disease, one must first understand it. In this booklet, Michael Davies uses his scholarship to lucidly expose the nature of this deadly virus in terms that all can understand. By Graham Moorhouse Chairman, PEEP
