∙ VANDAL CATHOLIC INTELLECT ∙

WHO IS DR. GRACJAN?

Concerned about our democracy? Wondering how society can become so divided, so split into irreconcilable camps that the possibility of war moves from the unthinkable to the inevitable? If so, join us for our spring 2022 offering on the American Civil War. Come and learn what happened then and why, and, most importantly, what lessons from then can be applied to our present time so as to ever work for peace and pacific resolutions rather than fratricidal conflicts that tear apart a nation from the inside out.
