Thank you sir. We need all the help we can get. :)

Blessings to you and yours.

“This is Vancouver in October. It’s rainy sure, but not cold.”

I”m from Florida - it’s cold there right now!

“Prayers for the Cathedral.”

Agreed, but cattle prods work better.

“I’m not Catholic, but I would consider it a high honor to stand with the Knights of Columbus in helping repel these satanic orcs.”

“Count me, and 100’s of thousands of other Evangelicals, in as well. We are the true 99%.”

Hey, don’t forget us Jews who haven’t sold out and morphed into libs! I will stand with my Christian Brothers and Sisters to stop ANY desecration to ANY of God’s Houses.

I had an older brother who got all the swords my dad had and he had civil war swords and samurai's and such. My dad collected swords and guns.

And we your places of worship. God Bless America.

Oh, don’t worry, once word gets out that they tried to disrupt mass, there will be more knights there next time. :)

[Antoninus]

Did they all bring their swords?

I suspect that the days are coming when my brother knights will be called upon to defend the Church, and not just metaphorically. Based on what I know, we're up to the challenge--at least our council. We're not just beer swillers...

[guitarplayer1953]

The reason I ask it seems like back in the 60’s there were lots of Knights of Columbus swords for sale in the 2nd hand stores.

[Don Carlos]

Not all, just the 4th degree Knights.

[MEG33]

Indeed..I am a Protestant and am outraged.

[Schwaeky]

Only us Fourth Degreeers have swords... and i can vouch they are useless for any sort of combat (one of my buddies and I went fourth degree at the same time, and we looked at our swords shortly after and noticed they are not designed to use for any sort of combat—they are strictly ceremonial in nature)... now if any of the guys swapped them with cavalry swords, make good use against those usurpers.......

[guitarplayer1953]

I guess that’s one above from getting the 3rd degree from someone.

“God Bless America.”

Roger that, Patriot. Roger that!

My 4th degree sword could cause serious injury, if need be.

Not surprisingly, the Occupukes hate God.

At the time that he converted to Eastern Orthodoxy, Franky Schaeffer expressed himself as wanting the Mass and the full range of sacraments. IIRC, this would have been quite in conflict with the views of his father. I believe his father was dead when he converted. I suspect he is no longer practicing the Eastern Orthodox Faith. To suggest that the protestors occupy Catholic and Evangelical Churches makes it highly likely that he has abandoned faith in God altogether.

It is safer to assume that he had specific and respectable reasons for becoming Eastern Orthodox, reasons that had to do with the differences between Evangelical faith and practice and Orthodox faith and practice. Likewise, it is safer to assume that he has specific reasons (perhaps not respectable ones) for his current shenanigans.

If he had been a Catholic, as I am, or Orthodox, I would not assume that his current apostasy was aimed at hurting someone's feelings. Likewise, Evangelicals ought not take it personally. People leave our respective Churches, each for his/her own reasons all the time. Many return. His father was certainly a remarkable man. Maybe he will return to the Evangelical Faith when his current problems are resolved.

Love Frankie Schaeffer in spite of his faults and pray that God will grant him the graces and that Frankie will accept them to serve God's plans for him, plans which have to be better than yours or mine.

We Knights of Columbus would be honored to stand in defense of your Church in repelling such attacks as well. May God bless you and yours!

[BlackElk]

Sir Knight, my 4th Degree sword (ca. 1965) has no edged surface but would be a fine stabbing weapon. I suspect yours would be too.

[BlackElk]

See #57 which applies to you fine folks as well. None of us should tolerate attacks on any of our faiths by the OWS rabble. May we all protect and defend one another.

Time to get an armed response when they do these things.
