| Sisters of St. Dominic, Post Falls, Idaho |
Religious nuns have long been the symbol of purity, virginity, tenderness, service of others, culture, and discipline. They have also long been seen as the bride of Christ. They represent for humanity the very iamge of maidenhood. These women have given up motherhood to preserve themselves for Christ in perpetual maidenhood.
To abuse a nun, for mere "entertainment", ranks up there with inhumane actions that sins against the virtue of innocence, like kicking a puppy, throwing kittens in a raging river or abusing children.
A local Idaho news station, KREM, ran a story of how the sisters of St. Dominic in Post Falls, ID are being harassed by local teenagers.

The worse part is the profanity and vulgarity with which the nuns are being harassed. It's as if the teenagers know exactly what virtues the nuns practice and what filthy temptations to throw at them.

The third commandment of Chivalry states that the knight shall respect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them. This includes widows, orphans, the poor and the brides of Christ.
The Ten Commandments of the Medieval Code of Chivalry:
- Thou shalt believe all that the Church teaches, and shalt observe all its directions.
- Thou shalt defend the Church.
- Thou shalt respect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them.
- Thou shalt love the country in the which thou wast born.
- Thou shalt not recoil before the enemy.
- Thou shalt make war against the Infidel without cessation, and without mercy.
- Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy feudal duties, if they be not contrary to the laws of God.
- Thou shalt never lie, and shalt remain faithful to thy pledged word.
- Thou shalt be generous, and give largesse to everyone.
- Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.
Where are the Catholic men to defend these nuns? Where are the modern day knights to ward the filth cast at these brides of Christ? Where are the gentlemen who are willing to stand up to preserve the innocence and purity of these maidens of Christianity.
This is one of the reasons why the TFP promotes the spirit of chivalry. There used to be a time when this spirit was the point of reference for all men. If you were a men, you needed to practice the virtues associated with chivalry, be you noble or common.
When Clovis, king of Franks, converted, he heard the story of the Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He became furious by the injustice. He pounded his battle ax on the ground and exclaimed; "Had I and my Franks been there, it would not have happened."
It was a noble sentiment from a barbarian leader. Yet, already in his statement, one can see the spirit of chivalry. Defend those who cannot defend themselves, to lay down one's life for another, and most especially for Christ.
Such should be the sentiment of all Catholic men in face of the evils of our world. Our desire withe the TFP Call To Chivalry camps is to restore this spirit in the hearts of all men.
