Ave Maria! [First part of this talk was missed, but still good stuff!] Fr. Angelo gives a talk on chivalry to the older kids (12 and up) at the Knights of Lepanto Encampment, covering what chivalry meant popularly in Medieval times, what it has come to mean popularly today and the truly noble meaning it acquired with St Francis and how we need to live this noble and saintly chivalry today. Ave Maria! +++ |
Ave Maria! This was sent to us by someone who attended the last Knights of Lepanto Encampment with his son who is the main actor along with Fr. Angelo. He filmed it himself and his children edited it, pretty good for a first try. We need more Catholics doing this. Bravo! They cover the four rules of being a knight that were discussed at the encampment. These are: 1. Morning Act of Offering 2. Daily Examination of Conscience 3. Treat your Mother with Respect 4. Treat your Sister(s) with Respect This sounds really tough for a knight of any age, but for one so young! But, hey, no pain no gain. At least there is no “Clean your Room Every Day.” Or is this included in “Treat your Mother with Respect”? Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! What would you want to do if this was the last day of your life? Having the end in mind gives us a different perspective in life.

Ave Maria! We have often heard the cliche, “Sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you.” However, we know by experience that words can be very provocative especially when they concern our convictions and beliefs. This is particularly true when it regards faith and morals according to the teachings of the Church, anything opposing Catholic doctrine becomes “fighting words”. Listen to how Fr. Angelo explains how we must defend our Faith with a Chivalrous spirit! Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Over a period of time the ideal of Chivalry slowly degenerated. In this episode, Fr. Angelo tries to recapture its true meaning in light of the Catholic ideal of Chivalry.

Ave Maria! Fr. Angelo is back and vlogging with a vengeance. This episode is on religious chivalry vs secular chivalry. Referring to groups like the Society of Creative Anachronisms which are trying to reintroduce Chivalry with an ethical code not based on religious principles but on secular or even neo-pagan ones, Fr Angelo mentions that this is nothing new. Listen as he points out how western chivalry was uniquely Christian and thus superior to any of the many other forms of Chivalry, especially in regard to the treatment of women which was based on devotion to Mary. Ave Maria! |
