The Vocation of the Catholic Intellectual: Faith, Reason, and Service | Prof. Christopher Kaczor

Defender of the truth, the good, and the beautiful. An admirer of perennial philosophy. An advocate of natural law and liberty.

Meditations and Reflections written for the GLORIFICATION of the Eternal KINGDOM!  
My name is Meryl Viola Bravo and I am a Roman Catholic and I made a Private Vow of Virginity Forever.  Roman Catholic Meditations are reflections written and recorded by me.  I have also endorsed other Roman Catholic Reflections from soundcloud that I myself have not written or recorded but am in union with their approach to the doctrine of the faith.  I have included them into my soundcloud and am following them.  Please contact me if you have any questions.  I am espoused to Christ and am offering a Gift to the Church as a TOTAL and COMMITTED service to Holy Mother and the Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church.  Meryl Bravo
