Why Italy?• 97% Roman Catholic– Most Italians are pursuing their salvation

through the sacraments or through Mary

“The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation.”

~ Catechism p 319

“…to Jesus as a judge, it also belongs to punish; but mercy alone belongs to the blessed Virgin…We more easily find salvation by going to the Mother than by going to the Son.”

~ St. Anselm
