“Off the southern coast of Greece, there was a naval battle at Lepanto in the 16th century,” he continued.
“The conflict pitted Islamic troops with an expansionist push toward the West against Christian forces in Europe. “Christianity would have been extinct on the European continent if the Islamic forces had prevailed,” Kirby stated.
According to best-selling author Jonathan Cahn, the Bible makes it obvious who will prevail in today’s battles.
Kirby claimed that the Christian armies were “greatly outnumbered,” and the pope asked everyone to pray the rosary for their triumph.
“Against all odds, the Christian forces were victorious,” stated Kirby.
Since then, “a feast was held to commemorate the victory.”
