In the TFP, we call this the concept as the cutting edge or the spearpoint of the Revolution. As explained by Prof. Plinio Correa de Oliveira in his book, Revolution and Counterrevolution, the Revolution is the unity of a thousand different battles, like a forest fire consists of a thousand individual trees all in flames. Winning enough battles will mean winning the whole war. Sometimes it boils down to fighting one significant figure in the battlefield.

Historically, attacking the figurehead has proven the most effective in destroying a movement. As an example, Francois Mitterand was the leading figure to promote socialism in Europe. Prof. Plinio Correa de Oliveira launched an international campaign against him by publishing a full two page advertisement analyzing the decline in popularity of self-managing socialism as well as exposing its radical programs. A second leading figure promoted a lot by the Revolution was Mikael Gorbachev. He was the apple in the eye of the Revolution. World leaders gave him honors and prestige. Gorbachev charmed his way to the top of the platform receiving almost unfettered adulation from the public. Never had the Soviet Union received so much respect in world public opinion as with Gorbachev. Along with the person came the Revolutionary ideology being promoted. It was again, self-managing socialism. Once again, the TFP, under the direction of Prof. Plinio attacked this movement by collecting 5.2 million signatures in a matter of months. This signature gathering gave Lithuanians the encouragement to lay down their lives to defend their borders against Soviet tanks. Because of the lost of prestige brought about by this one single event, Gorbachev soon lost influence in the world event. He went down in flames and most young people today don't even know who he is. Consequently, his cause, a transformed form of Self-managing socialism, also suffered a huge blow.
These are one of the few lessons we have learned in the TFP regarding fighting a monolithic movement as the Revolution is.
One of these battles is against the LGBT movement, or the promotion of the sin of homosexuality in the Church, or more properly the drive to make this sin acceptable in the Church. There are many figureheads leading this charge. Right now one of the most prominent is Fr. James Martin. His spearpoint is the talk he gave at New Ways Ministry, a liberal movement of dubious Catholic spirit condemned by the USCCB. This talk is the very basis of his book, Building A Bridge. In fact, it is practically its transcript.
It is sad that the Jesuit order has not taken the time to reel him in. He has become the LBGT champion in the Jesuit order that the monicker of the Rainbow Jesuit is sticking to him. It is difficult to find another personage in the Church who is doing more to promote the full acceptance of the LGBT community as part of the flock.
He is leading the charge on behalf of the LGBT community. This is where Church teaching and morality is being attacked. This is where we will need to be.
Our rosary rally on March 22, 2018 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. across the street from Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago, IL is the TFP's effort to face-off against this attack. This rosary rally is the clash of two forces. One, under the banner of Fr. Martin, is promoting homosexuality in the Church. The other, under the banner of Mary, is defending Catholic teaching and morality
Will you please join us in this face off against the onslaught of the Rainbow Jesuit? We will simply pray a rosary and sing a few songs. Hopefully, this act will be enough reparation to this travesty.
St. Ignatius of Loyola would be ashamed of these liberal Jesuits. Have they already forgotten that one of the first meditations in St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercise is about the two banners? One is the banner of the serpent. The other is the banner of Jesus.
