Starting with issue number 22, Crusade magazine presents an informative encyclopedia to brainwash, er, educate little minds.

Definition: "COMMUNISM is a world-wide scheme to make slaves of all men on earth, to overthrow the governments of freemen by force and violence, and to blot out the memory of God from the minds of men.

It is a great enemy of the Catholic Church and of the United States of America."

"DARWINISM - a word taken from the name of Charles Darwin, an English scientist who lived from 1809 to 1882. He taught and wrote books about living things on earth and how he thought they developed. You will find more about his ideas under EVOLUTION." Damnation, our subscription to Crusades ran out before we could get to the E's.
