You may find my perspectives a little removed from mainstream belief and that is because I am not typical; and that because if one wants the same old same old, they could just go anywhere else to find it. This is different, and it is designed that way, I don't write for popularity, but for the truth, and ergo, I may seem a lot different from, and critical of, the mainstream liberal media. I'll get down to the point, this was formed for the expression of the traditional Catholic audience and therefore addresses Traditional Catholic issues not only in our own time, but to recall to our minds the fullness of our inherited faith. Many are those who take for granted the Catholic faith that we have, but it was not always so easy; there were times when the Church was persecuted and its members killed because they would not surrender just a small sentence, and in some cases just a word, of the faith. They did this because they knew what the Church is, the body of Christ, and to compromise would be a great offense to the Almighty. God revealed the truths of His Holy religion, and it is not up to us to decide which things we will and which ones we will not believe, as God commanded us to hold the whole faith and observe all things that He hath commanded. Like St. Jude says in his epistle "Dearly beloved… I was under a necessity to write to you, to beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints". We as Catholics are under obligation to defend Christ in the form of the Church as Pope Leo XIII said “You are not to be looked upon as holding the true Catholic faith if you do not teach that the faith of Rome is to be held.”(Satis Cognitum # 13) and Canon Law also mandates “The faithful are bound to profess their faith openly whenever under the circumstances silence, evasion, or their manner of acting would otherwise implicitly amount to a denial of the faith, or would involve contempt of religion, an offense to God, or scandal to the neighbor.” (Canon 1325.1, 1917 Code of Canon Law). So that we are accountable for the defense of Holy Mother Church, as is one reason why the Church on earth is sometimes called the Church militant.

About
My old homepage has simply become too troublesome and inconvenient, and thus the need for an easier and better homepage, which this is intended to be. The history of this blog domain is a bit busy but it's about to be busier. It was once a blog concerning the history of Europe and of the Catholic Church. Then it was a redirect blog to redirect it's old readers to the new domain which it recieved a few months before. Now it's my new homepage.
