The Church Militant

Just got my brand-spankin'-new Pope Pius XII mug from Fr. Zuhlsdorf's blog - What Does The Prayer Really Say.  A timely message to be sure...


"We belong to the Church militant; and she is militant
because on earth the powers of darkness are ever
restless to emcompass her destruction.  Not only in the
far-off centuries of the early Church, but down through
the ages and in this our day, the enemies of God and
Christian civilization make bold to attack the Creator's
supreme domination and sacrosanct human rights."

Pope Pius XII
