Removed Catholic Facebook Pages Have Been Restored
Update from yesterday’s post regarding the mysterious removal of 24 Catholic pages from the Facebook social network. All 24 pages have been reinstated. Why were these particular pages removed?

When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not realize that it was…

The Resurrection of Jesus After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow. The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men. Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid!
