Introduction by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Europe more than any other place has been the cradle of Christian Civilization. And I mean those words with precision.

Because, whereas God the Son descended and became man in Galilee, and the Christian Faith was preached throughout the world, first in the Levant, nevertheless, it remained the dominant cultural force only in Europe for dozens of centuries.

And so, just as a cradle is placed in the safest room of the house, so that the child placed there — though born elsewhere — might begin his life in safety and with everything to nurture him, so Christianity took root in Europe and thrived.

This cradle of civilization is now under an existential threat, brought about by the intentional execution of a plan of demographic replacement, spurred by massive illegal immigration of Muslims of Arabic or African descent.

Many cities and towns are being overrun, and there are still many such who need defense. Many communities of Catholics and Christians need security, and are not finding solution from existing institutions or initiatives.

This is why, when the Lord Jesus Christ inspired me 7 years ago to do something about Islamic terrorism, just days after the martyrdom of Father Jacques, I responded immediately with all the good will I could muster.

In these 7 years, I have learned that good will is not enough, there needs to be a formation program for the future defenders of Europe, because there is no initiative from any side whatsoever to do this.

Ordo Militaris Catholicus, this initiative I began with AJ Baalman 7 years ago, aims to be a promoter of such solutions. And it is in this spirit that we are organizing a training program for men 18-24 years of age, to learn the skills necessary to protect the streets of Europe.

Many of you may know of this program already, but I am making this appeal again, since there are many who receive FromRome.Info’s posts via email, who do not read this website.

This program will cost about 125 thousand euro. So far we have raised 8000+ euro.  I want to thank the two men of Spanish descent, who live in Texas, for donating 80% of the funds already collected.

But I write this post, to ask the Europeans who can afford donating, to consider that they too have a role and a duty to participate in this program which will serve to defend their native homelands.

You can read more about the program and see how you can support it by clicking the image above. If you are 18-24 and a resident of the EU, you can also find information about how to sign up for this free program, on the same page.

The defense of Europe is the Deus Vult of our age. And I believe, that we Christians shall be measured in eternity by Christ, by how we responded to this call.
