Setting the Record Straight - Chivalry - 3/11/19

Walk back with us into the Age of King Arthur.  Chivalry was one of the glorious effects of Christ’s principles conveyed through his Catholic church. In our jaded age we find it hard to understand how warriors could have been so noble. The Catholic knight embodied valor and gentleness in a way that  protected and empowered women and fully enacted Saint Augustine’s concept of Just War. The Catholic Knight was devout thus unlike the portrayals of him in modern media. His virtues were incredible courage, loyalty, and generosity. Nothing else in history is comparable. His duties included daily Mass and fasting. He swore fidelity to the Church, obedience, and chastity. He was a warrior who displayed courtesy, humility, and beneficence.
