He was slender and tall and elegant. It was I who was standing before greatness as I shook his hand and welcomed him to my film. And he said something that immediately put me at ease, something many an old pro has said to me before. He looked at me directly with those most beautiful piercing eyes that had graced the screen so many times in the past, still with vitality, and said, “Just tell me what you want...” -- Michael O.

Catholics. Only the Catholic Church has a worldwide, organized and integrated alternative system. Non-Catholic Christians may have a good, higher allegiance to Christ, but they do not have the organized, systematic infrastructure on earth that the Catholic Church has. The issues in any power hungry state are the same faced by Henry VIII and Elizabeth and their Catholic subjects: “Will you obey the Pope or The Leader? The one whose kingdom is not of this world or the one whose kingdom is of this world? Christ or AntiChrist?” ...")
