Description
Summary:Gribble describes how the Family Crusade, led by Father Patrick Peyton of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, with the assistance of multi-millionaire shipping magnate J. Peter Grace, entered into an agreement with the C.I.A. to fund the Crusade's efforts in Latin America as a vehicle to defeat communism through Catholicism. Grace, who first met Peyton in 1946 and fully believed in his work and message, had assisted the other projects. From the moment that Grace first viewed the rosary films at the Brussels World's fair of 1958, he saw their potential use in Latin America.
