Saving Rome from the Caliph

Great historical lesson, please read it all at Chiesa:

How the Eight Hundred Men of Otranto Saved Rome:

They were martyred five centuries ago in the easternmost region of Italy, the spot most exposed to attack from the Muslims. The objective of the caliph Mohammed II was to conquer Rome, after having already taken Constantinople. But he was stopped by Christians who were ready to defend the faith with their blood.
