We reject equally apathy and fatalism. We refuse equally to deny the state of our society and to fall into hopelessness, the other side of the coin of cowardice. These manifestations of narcisism and un-faith are what brought us all to the brink of a new Dark Ages.

We repudiate false optimism as the worst kind of pessimism. We repudiate false "pragmatism," which is merely the endless capitulations of false leaders sacrificing helpless lambs to the wolves.

We affirm life, Man conceived in the image of the Divine. We affirm the revealed moral Truth for all humanity. We affirm the Logos that is the matrix of reality, in Whom we live and breathe and have our very substance.

We meet here to share news, thoughts, insights, sucesses, defeats, regrets, apologies, repentence, rejoicing and prayers. We plot the awakening of a sleepwalking people, opiated by sweet lies, eyes closed tight, oblivious to the new Philliistines eyeing their children.

We steel our souls for the long fight, honoured to link arms with heroes in the ranks of an army that has already been promised victory in the final battle of time.
