  Above, Father Maurice Inchaffray blesses the troops of King Robert Bruce of Scotland before fighting the English in the Battle of Bannockburn Antonio Jose Rubi I am writing this on the feast day of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. On the day I wrote this article, I declared a ‘’holy war’’ against the Disney Infidels with my own cartoon characters like Catalina Santos -         Antonio, the Author You may have seen those depictions of a priest, holding a crucifix fighting in battle with the soldiers, most of them set in the Middle Ages. These customs dates back to Old Testament times, and is still being used today. A notable medieval example is Father Maurice Inchaffray, the chaplain of the Scottish Army of Robert Bruce who defeated King Edward II of England (see picture above), as well as the priests who fought with Joan of Arc against the English. One of the notable military priests ever was Saint John Capistrano, himself the patron saint of mili...

  The Holy Face Flag Antonio Jose Rubi If traditional Catholics mostly have flags of the Sacred Heart as counter-revolutionary and military flags, in Russia, their equivalent is the Holy Face, also known as the Savior Not Made by Hands. This icon of the Holy Face has its origin in Eastern Christianity. It is said this is the replica of the cloth with the Holy Face of Jesus given to King Abgar by Saint Jude. It is also called the Holy Mandylion, which is different from Veronica’s veil and the Shroud of Turin. The relic was brought to Europe by Crusaders, but unfortunately had been lost during the French Revolution. This flag was adopted by Russia when under Prince Saint Vladimir, converted to Byzantine Christianity. Since then, this standard had been used by Russians from medieval times to the Russia Ukraine War. This flag had been used by various heroes like Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Ivan the Terrible, Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozarsky. Here is a gallery of the Holy Face fl...

                                                                    It is said that Filipino hero, Jose Rizal, known for his novels Touch Me Not and the Reign of Greed is said to have died a Catholic, the faith he grew up with. He was known as a member of the propaganda movement which one of its members were Juan Luna, a painter and notorious Freemason Marcelo H. Del Pilar.

When Rizal was still young, he made a statue of the Sacred Heart, which would later be presented to him before his execution. He was also have said to have designed a Catholic Church in Mindanao. Before his execution, he denounced Freemasonry and Liberalism, condemned by many popes, and gave a copy of ''The Imitation of Christ'' to his wife Josephine Bracken. His ...

  AJ Rubi Let us start this article with this poem by Professor Plinio Correa de Oliveira ‘’When still very young, I marveled at the ruins of Christendom, Gave them my heart, Turned my back on all I could expect, And made of that past full of blessings.’’ I would like to make a commentary on this poem, because this not only applies to Professor Plinio, this also applies to my childhood. Unlike many youths of today, who were exposed to modernism of the late 2000s at a young age, I was exposed to many marvelous and wholesome good things, like hand-drawn animation from Disney and other animation studios (most of the cartoons I grew up were old Disney animation some even made before World War II), children’s books set in historical eras like Victorian era, historical books, classical music like Mozart and old songs, especially Christmas songs.   Saint Alphonsus Liguori once said that a man’s future relies on what he received as a child. Ever since then, my vocation to be...

  Catalina Santos A.J. Rubi Catalina Santos is a character that the author made to respond to Disney’s imperialism over the Philippines. She was originally a character demo test by former Disney animator Aaron Blaise called ‘’Ophelia’’, as you can see in the picture below, So here is the story, In March 2022, Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill, which forbade the talk of LGBT in classrooms. As a result, the staunchly immoral and pro-LGBT Disney fought back against DeSantis, thus Disney started to enter the American Culture Wars. Many conservative/traditionalist parents in America feared for their children’s lives saying Disney would brainwash them into immorality. The news later spread that Disney alongside other ‘’woke’’ organizations were brainwashing children in schools about LGBT and other immorality. This continued until 2024 when Ron DeSantis and Disney made peace with each other, and when Trump revoked DEI for good. However, from a ...
