Protesting A Heinous Blasphemy at Boston's Jesuit College of the Holy Cross

Yet another Jesuit university is showing its anti-Catholic colors.

Here's the write up on this most offensive blasphemy. http://www.tfp.org/no-excuse-possible-for-anti-jesus-views-of-professor-at-catholic-college/

This is the same Jesuit college whose mascot, The Crusader, was changed because some students found the sword and the cross offensive. The first image below shows the offensive symbol. The image below that shows the future inoffensive logo.

This is the letter from the administration regarding the decision to change it. What is ironic is that they are worried about a few students being offended by the sword and the cross yet suddenly they preach tolerance for highly offensive heresies under the banner of academic freedom.

Those who are not with him is against him Our Lord Jesus Christ said. Are all the Jesuit colleges this bad? Should not at least one college rise up in defense of its name? In honor of its founder? For the sake of the faith they claim to follow?

If none will, then we will. Three 15 passenger vans full of energetic young men are travelling a full day just to protest this heinous blasphemy. We will gladly defend the honor of Jesus, God the Father, the apostles and Holy Mother Church against this sorry excuse for a professor in a Catholic university and this sorry excuse for a university that still calls itself Catholic.

We will pray the rosary. We will sing hymns. We will play the bagpipes. Above all, we will console Jesus and Mary for this injury to their honor.

The Lone Football Player Who Honored His Country

Connor Brewer, of Millikin University, stands alone in respect of the National Anthem.

Todd Starnes of Foxnews reports on a sole football player standing in respect while the National Anthem was played at the start of the game. Where were the other players? Inside. "respectfully" protesting the National Anthem as a sign of protest to racial injustice in America.

The story reports that on Sept. 24, 2016, a few players took a knee while the National Anthem played. The crowd reacted with outrage. From the context of the report, the players were apparently accused of being anti-American and disrespectful of the sacrifice of our military.

So, for the following game, the whole team decided to stay in the locker room so that their action cannot be understood or construed as "disrespectful."

One football player had the courage of doing the right thing. Alone he stood in the field while the Anthem was played.

Courage is a virtue that only applies to good acts. What Kapaernick did was not true courage which presumes that the finality of his act is good. When participants of the Black Lives Matter overcame the fear of getting caught for stealing, rioting, pillaging, destroying property or attacking police and community, it was not courage but a further aggravation of their irrational act.

Inherent to the virtue of courage is the understanding that a greater and lasting good (grace, merit, eternal salvation) can be achieved or attained by suffering temporal difficulties.

Connor Brewer practiced true courage because his cause was good and honorable.

This case is very applicable to the spirit of chivalry. Many times people reduce knighthood to a fighting class among many other fighting class. Many times Vikings, Barbars, the Romans and even the Muslims are pooled together as all part of a fighting class. Knighthood stands apart from the crowd because of the virtues inherent to knighthood not inherent to the other fighting classes.

Chivalry was not simply a method of fighting. It was a way of life permeated by the faith. Hence, the 10 commandments of chivalry reflected this.

In this sense, Connor Brewer fulfills the 4th commandment of Chivalry; "Thou shalt love the country in which thou was born."

It is difficult to see how the other players are displaying love for the country and respect for our fallen by staying in the locker room. This is the very definition of cowardice. It is the opposite of the spirit of Chivalry.
