In times like this in certain countries we need the templars more than ever now. In third world countries and sometimes in the middle east Christians face violence or are persecuted.
Should the templars should be revived as a some kind of self-defense paramilitary organization to protect Christians against violence in today's world?
Indeed, they should! But as ever the key to Christianity must be gratitude. Therefore what exactly can we mean by "revived"? In Third World countries, especially in the Middle East and also very much in Europe the Catholics have never for a moment ceased to have "some kind of self-defense paramilitary organization to protect Christians against violence in today's world." Wherever could the supremely peculiar notion we have not done so come from?
In the Middle East we have, for example, those most active defenders of Christians the Lebanese, Syrian, Egyptian and Iranian Armies. Not such a modest set of allies, no? In Europe among the defenders of Christians we have the superb example of the Russian Army. Our glorious Spetsnaz must come to mind! And if our contemporary Joan of Arc, namely Madame Le Pen, should become the President of the French Republic, well, then after all the French Foreign Legion is no slacker either. N'est-ce pas?
But to gain more focused and purer examples we can thank the good Bishop Sigaud for enlightening us:
"A certain central Government directs the whole process, with energy and great intelligence: this is a human dynamo which is an instrument of Satan himself.
What used to be called 'politics of the right' such as Fascism and National Socialism, were in fact to combat movements against the Church of Christ."
(Letter of Bishop Sigaud to Cardinal Tardini, written August 22, 1959)
Clearly the central government to which Bishop Sigaud referred was the American government. And if the American government were the "instrument of Satan" in 1959, then how much more evil that government must be in our own day! And if Fascism and National Socialism were the main instruments of Holy Mother Church against the Enemies of God in the last century, then how much more heroic and pure of soul their heirs must be in our own 21st Century. At least such would be the martyr's words of Catholic courage and valor among the true heirs of the Templars at present.
Hence we can only carry on the heritage of our Templar ancestors if we find the courage and fearless gratitude to honor our Catholic forefathers and praise the splendid inheritance they have so magnanimously left to us. A true Christian warrior must be personally humble and not presume to be too good for the generous favors of the Triune God. We are not too good for our various allied armies, nor are we too good to be grateful for God's mercy in providing us with Madame Le Pen. Nor for His mercy in providing for our protection the incomparably ruthless Vladimir Putin, grandson of the innermost intimates of the late unlamented Joseph Stalin.
We Catholic men already have a Knighthood. So to speak, we are already the hereditary Kraken, the Holy Terrors of this fallen world. If we but have the loyalty and discipline to be Catholic Knights, then Our Lord of Battles is more than ready for us.
In any case if all we can do is carp against our existing temporal allies and Catholic leaders, then Our Lord will deem us nothing more than vain braggarts worthless for the defense of the Christian People of God. But if we are sincere men, then the Good God will hear us and when we open our eyes we shall see even now a Golden Dawn rising in the East...
@J.Paul: The Anti-Israhell Resistance in the Middle East is the on-going Crusade to liberate the Holy Land from the Enemies of God. The inner leadership of this Resistance is already Roman Catholic. We are the heart of the Resistance Against Israhell to Liberate the Holy Places! In Syria, in Lebanon, in Egypt, in Russia and so forth the Roman Catholics are leading the Crusade Against the Satanic Heart of Darkness in Jerusalem. And we are not going to be facing the NATO/EU terrorists. We are facing them now, in Syria, in Egypt, in Venezuela, in Mexico, in the Ukraine.
In the Holy Land!!
A world-wide Catholic Crusade is already happening now. Time for some serious Roman Catholic military study and training. Now.
