    Welcome to the Catholic Men's Podcast, helping you find good works of literature for the Catholic gentleman.

    The greatest pulpit orator of the nineteenth century, Lacordaire, once said that the vocation of a soldier is next in dignity to the priesthood, not only because it commissioned him to defend justice on the field of battle and order on the field of peace, but also because it called him to the spirit and intention of sacrifice.

    Today I'm narrating, “An American Knight: The Life of Colonel John W. Ripley, USMC,” by Norman J. Fulkerson.

    There's something about a Catholic soldier that really captivates my imagination. Saints like George, Martin of Tours, Sebastian and the Martyrs of the Theban Legion have fascinated young Catholic men for centuries. When I heard that my friend, Mr. Norman Fulkerson, wrote a book about a United States Marine whose fervent faith and Catholic upbringing aided him in saving an untold number of lives in the Vietnam War - I had to read that book. I was in Australia at the time promoting the message of Our Lady of Fatima and I'll never forget reading this gem of a book in the outback.

    Since then he's had trouble in getting the book narrated and I promised him that over the course of lent, I would narrate the book on my channel. It'll be in 3 parts, launched over the course of a few weeks this lent, which I think is appropriate timing because Col. John Ripley was forced to stop the brutal advance of the North Vietnamese communist army by blowing up the Dong Ha Bridge on Easter Sunday, April 2, 1972. Not only is this book anti-communist, but it's distinctly Catholic and gives many principles on how a man should act when faced with adversity. You can listen to this to fall asleep if you want, as part of our Catholic Insomniac series, but it's a very rousing and exciting story.
    So let's begin…

    Maybe come back if you can't find all of the story paths like South America or Grigio, the angel dog.

    The visions and direct quotes you may hear in this adventure are true. They really did occur in the life of a Catholic saint and all these accounts were diligently recorded by his contemporaries. The only thing that has been changed is the sequence of these mystical visions and historical events. You can decide that sequence for yourself. Be careful though, as the wrong decision may end in an untimely death, which of course never really happened to the saint, who died of natural causes, but these untimely ends had to be invented for the purposes of the game which is the only element of fiction in all these adventures. The rest is all true. The citation for the visions and incidents recounted are in the description below each video.

    The year is 1868. You are an Italian priest who has started an Oratory school for boys in Turin, but the many stresses of the year, far too many to recount here, have taken their toll on you. You decide to go to Lanzo for a short retreat and some rest. On your last night there, you have an incredibly vivid dream that shakes you to the very core of your soul.

    Later, you would tell your Oratory boys:
    “I saw in my bedroom a most loathsome toad, as big as an ox, that squatted at the foot of my bed. I stared breathlessly. It was green and its legs, body, and head swelled and grew more and more repugnant. His fiery eyes, red-lined mouth and throat presented a terrifying sight. His bones were made of fire and his bony ears were very small. I kept staring and muttering: ‘But a toad has no ears!’ I also noticed two horns jutting from its snout and two greenish wings sprouting from its sides. Its legs looked like those of a lion, and its long tail ended in a forked tip.”
    “Initially, I did not feel afraid, but became terrified when the monster began edging closer to me. He opened its enormous, tooth-studded jaws, and looked like a demon from hell. I crossed myself but nothing happened; rang the bell, but no one responded; shouted, but in vain. As the monster would not retreat, I asked: ‘What do you want of me, you ugly devil?’ It crept forward, as if answering, and stretched its ears which pointed upward. It then paused momentarily, resting its front paws on the top of the headboard and raising itself on its hind legs. It looked at me and crawled forward until its snout was close to my face.”

    “I felt such horror that I tried to jump out of bed, but the monster opened its jaws wide.”

    This incident is recounted in “The Biographical Memoirs of Saint John Bosco” by Rev. Giovanni Battista Lemoyne, S.D.B., Vol. 9, Ch. 75.
