Alas, they took no account that in the Extraordinary Form the Feast of Christ the King is the last Sunday of October. Still!
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.

Heavens, I don’t think I’ve ever had to read that much during a trailer….
Interesting. Standing by with Church Militant Field Manual in one hand, Combat Rosary in the other…
Nicely produced, but I have no idea whatsoever of what it is I’m looking forward to. A book? A movie? A crusade?
There is a lot of spirit in that one! Ah, give strength to those that stand and fight. For too long we have sit idly by and been overrun by modernism. Too long have we been content to not raise our voice to the onslaught of ‘toleration’. Too many are the voices that are afraid of conflict and challenges. Growing are those that are willing to fight, prayerfully, and at our own parishes. We are spreading the church militant book around as much as we can. We are trying to create core groups of people who will be faithful and support our priests, bishops and clergy. God is good. Thank you Fr. Z. The occurrences of today, the courage of those bishops and cardinals speak to the support they are getting in prayer. May God be praised!
JPII – 30 years – Resembles 3 years of Christ’s Mission on Earth..
Benedict – The Church(Like Christ) going through a Palm Sunday; dressed like a King, in all majesty.
Francis – The Church (Like Christ) will humble herself and wash the feet or everyone, will show Mercy to Judas, will pray for him, will give him communion, but still will be betrayed by Judas, and denied by his Apostles (Bishops) and Go through the Agony in the garden and will be arrested and outlawed and judged and ordered to death.
Next Pontiff – Good Friday and the Church (Like Christ) will die; The world will think the Church is rid off.
The Pontiff after Next : Holy Saturday – Church be under ground with the Tomb
And the Next Pontiff: Will be resurrected Church – All the evil will be rid of it.
Let us all not abandon the church at this crucial moment. Let us be silent and prayful like Mother Mary was, St John was. Let us be with patient, prayer, penance and perseverance. The whole world thought they got rid of Christ, and so the world will think it got rid of His Church; But there is a resurrection. Let us be prayful. Even the Angels cannot prevent this… For the God want to separate Sheep from the goat
Is MouseTemplar’s comment a clue about who is behind this initiative, whatever it is? “Marian Chivalry” does sound familiar.
My parish are good people but to me they are like the pirates who don’t do anything.
