    In our January-February 2022 issue, we present our annual "Top Ten People of 2021" – profiles of ten "people who refuse to let the darkness prevail," ranging from an American Lt. Colonel who struggled to save Christians in the last moments of the US pullout from Afghanistan, to the Swiss Guard who was fired for refusing to accept the abortion-tainted Covid vaccine. We also feature an interview with Traditional liturgy expert Peter Kwasniewski and excerpts from his new book, From Benedict's Peace to Francis's War; a review of the new book on the St. Gallen Mafia; and Dr. Gavin Ashenden, former Anglican bishop and chaplain to the Queen of England, explains his departure from the Church of England for the Catholic Church.
