A group of Catholics have taken to praying the Rosary outside of the Papal Nunciature in Washington, D.C. for the preservation of the Traditional Latin Mass each Saturday at 10 AM. I began organizing these rallies on July 29, 2022, after decrees cancelling the vast majority of Traditional Latin Masses were issued by the Diocese…

The following true story, written by the nuns of the same monastery (rebuilt after the War), has until now been known almost exclusively in Poland. Thanks to an anonymous monk’s translation, it can now be shared with an English-speaking readership. It concerns the Benedictines of Perpetual Adoration in Warsaw, who gave their lives explicitly for…
