The Twelve : The Lives of the Apostles After Calvary:
by C .Bernard Ruffin-a Yale Divinity grad, Catholic and noted author of several books including the seminal one on Padre Pio, the bilocutionist who bore the Stigmata.
It traces what became of the Apostles after the resurrection- how they were martyred in many cases. For instance, I bet you did not know who that creature is on the Last Judgment on the wall of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican who is holding his drooping skin under his left hand as he gazes toward Christ his redeemer?? It is the Apostle Saint Bartholemew who is believed to have been skinned alive for his beliefs and refusing to shut up by Indians from India after he traveled there.
It is not 'secular' states that are the biggest threat to Christendom. It is those militantly hostile to religious expression not their own. It is the theocracies adverse to the Gospel. Study a bit of history Donnie Boy.
