Wnmo and to appear in the streets, free
&soN danger of personal insult, and even
Szsreain of respect and reverence. Before

ZycsGaning the sacred name of Jesus Of
8sning and despoiling the churches of

oEo1xs and nuns. No one before that day,
szEoempted to draw away the Roman youth

EwPt it by Goddess education. No Roman
