Saint Irenaeus stuck in my mind from an older article - he defended the faith against heresies from that time with clear arguments. Today, at the end of the Assumption of the Mother of God, I think how good it is that we also have such saints who keep our roots straight. Thanks for this double calendar, it helps me to follow it.
