  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.

  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.

This continued until 2024 when Ron DeSantis and Disney made peace with each other, and when Trump revoked DEI for good. However, from a ...
