It is the contention of these Chronicles of Atlantis that on occasion, one must resort to chivalric action in legitimate defense of truth, goodness, and beauty. It may be a "long defeat, " as Tolkien described it, but the cardinal and theological virtues demand it. And, lest we feel subdued by such matters, forget not that Our Lord said these words:
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place."-- Matthew 5,17-18 [NAB]

One can only hope and pray that such authentic Christian chivalry will indeed be awakened and, once awake, flower. I'll me looking forward to these Chronicles of Atlantis and the contribution they may make to that awakening.
