The Tradition, Family and Property folks let their true agenda shine through by omitting the comma on their little red flag.

Cute little capes.

This is one of the things that make me glad God made me gay - if I had been straight, I have a strong suspicion I could have wound up as one of those guys. Or at least a Knight of Columbus.

Instead, I'm a Mason, ex-Catholic, and happily married to my husband of sixteen years. Thank you, God!

I'm sure Jesus is proud that they are carrying on his mission of teaching people to venerate property.

Only by considering their families to be their property can these kind of people kidnap their kids for Jesus.

So we can assume they're not Franciscans.

The Knights of Columbus was pretty explicitly created to let Catholics wear funny hats without joining a 'secret' society.

Ah, more claims of religious persecution. Gotta love the banner in the photo: Neither apostasy nor Dhimmitude!

These are bat guano crazy, howling at the moon fanatics. You're right, DD, they're Breivik-esque right down to the outfits with the sash and the bizarre manifesto written by their founder. Did you read it?

Apparently, the Renaissance, Reformation, and Age of Enlightenment (as well as the French Revolution it spawned) were all very bad things. As far as I can tell, they long to return to the Dark Ages when the Catholic Church reigned supreme over every aspect of people's lives. History informs us of what sort of fate you'd meet if you bucked the system.

Then again, all the history we've read has probably been revised by wicked liberal secularists intent on persecuting the Church and the only noble, True Christians™ (those would be Catholics, in case you haven't been following along). //

So, essentially, they're claiming they've been persecuted (a bad thing), and they'd like to bring back circumstances under which they would have the power to freely persecute others (a good thing because, y'know, it's for your own good, to save your soul from the hellfire).

How much do you want to bet that their webmaster will be coming here to see what we said about them?

I wonder if these guys are Santorum's inspiration...I'm sure they're big fans of his.

Note the name of their magazine--Crusade. Gives ya that warm feeling.

History in her solemn page informs us, that the crusaders were but ignorant and savage men, that their motives were those of bigotry unmitigated, and that their pathway was one of blood and tears. Romance, on the other hand, dilates upon their piety and heroism and pourtrays in her most glowing and impassioned hues their virtue and magnanimity, the imperishable honour they acquired for themselves, and the great services they rendered to Christianity.
