One of our agents, whose name saint is James the Greater, reminded me that I didn't say anything about the Saint on his feast day, July 25th. I can only plead being preoccupied with the shooting in Toronto's Greektown, which was the evil work of an allegedly deranged Muslim who some suspect of being, if not a full-fledged jihadi, at least in sympathy with ISIS.
I thought about Saint James earlier today, as I was writing "Spain said they'd take 'refugees' Italy refused. Guess what happened?" As this short video from the good folks at The Remnant explains, it was Saint James ("Santiago" in Spanish) Matamoros (= "killer of Moors") who led the Christian Spanish to victory over the Muslim invaders from Morocco (so, "Moors") at the Battle of Clavijo in 844.
Now that the left-wing Spanish government has started welcoming boatloads of Muslim invaders, disguised as "refugees", into the land from which the Moors were finally expelled in 1492, pilgrimages to Santiago Compostela and many prayers to Saint James Matamoros, patron of Spain, seem very much in order.
Further reading: "St. James the Greater, 'Slayer of the Moors'", WWW 24/7/18. If you didn't quite follow what the narrator was saying in the video, you'll find this post a useful recap in text form.
