Defending Our Priests

Priests are ordinary men who have an extraordinary vocation; namely, to bring us the means of grace provided by Our Lord through His Church. It should not be any wonder to us that the fallen world should on occasion seek to do injury or to rob us of them. Still, when an attack like this occurs, it makes us realize not only the importance of legitimate defense, but that it is a form of justice: "giving God and neighbor their due."

That is, not to defend our priests is to deprive God of his divine right to gift us with the means of grace through them, and to deprive our neighbor of those same means of grace.

We need more chivalric men - and women and children - to protect, defend, and protect our priests.
