​    The Catholics of the Cross is a lay organization that is committed to living the teachings of Holy Scripture through prayer and public evangelization through active engagement on issues affecting the free practice of our Catholic faith.  Catholics of the Cross fulfills the role of the Catholic laity as defined by Saint John Paul II:
(Indent bold) “the role of the laity is in a special way to seek the kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs and ordering them according to the plan of God … As such, lay men and women are in a unique position to bring their faith into areas of society”
The Catholics of the Cross promotes and defends our Catholic faith:
  • By defending religious liberty in the public square by being an authentic Catholic voice on issues that impact the Church.
  • By sharing our Catholic faith through events such as lectures, film series, music and conferences.
  • By developing service opportunities to help our local communities.
  • By starting prayer groups and speaking at churches during Fortnight for Freedom.

The Seven (or 7) Principles of Spiritual Warfare

  1. Remember Who You Are (Know Your Identity)
  2. We are at war (we have an enemy who wants to destroy us – be sober and vigilant against the temptations)
  3. Know the tactics of your enemy (guard your mind and soul against these tactics)
  4. In spiritual battle, keep your peace (let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts)
  5. Know your weaknesses (the enemy will attack your weaknesses)
  6. You will need a Holy Spirit inspired strategy
  7. Don’t forget what you gained (Remember, so you don’t fall back)

​Catholics of the Cross Supports the Holy League

​Under the leadership of Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke and Fr. Richard Heilman (United States), the Holy League in each Catholic parish is the cornerstone for prayer, devotion and penance.  The Catholics of the Cross envisions a Holy League in each parish.  Anyone seeking to add a Holy League in the Mid-Atlantic region (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland) – please contact Jason O’Neill at jasononeill@reagan.com

​Catholics of the Cross Supports America Needs Fatima

​Catholics of the Cross supports America Needs Fatima’s Rosary in the Public Square initiatives.  Public evangelization and Catholics witness to miracles through prayer and devotion are vital to protecting human life (ending abortion) and defending religious liberty.​

Canon 915:  Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, IL Calls on Sen. Dick Durbin to Repent

Catholics of the Cross supports Nineveh 90 ​

​​The Nineveh 90 program is an intense program of spiritual and physical readiness for any cause or personal holiness.  Spiritual combat is the perfect protection againsts princes and principalities.  Led by Father Richard Heilman (Diocese of Madison, WI) , Nineveh 90 and 54-Day Rosary novenas for life, religious liberty, the Catholic Church and elected leaders is the perfect approach to serve God first and defend liberty.
This article below shows how false teaching groups and political operatives want to take down the Christian faith.  It shows how they are organized, trained, and prepared to do what it takes to bring down the church and open an era of total secular humanism throughout our country and the world.  They prepare for it, they plan for it, and they execute their plans with total commitment to their evil intentions and for their evil leaders.
 
If we fail to train in our faith like they train to take our churches down; then they will succeed.  We know Christ wins in the end, but how many souls will be lost because we did not act. How many will suffer because we could not answer the hard questions on how to fight against an evil that promises immediate satisfaction.  
 
We cannot be "one talent" people (Matthew 25:14-30).  This time calls for "ten talent" faithful Christians ready to stand in the breach; ready to carry the cross.  Attached are two training programs: one (The Statemans Project) led by faithful Evangelical Protestants, and  one (Rekindle the Fire) led by faithful Catholic leaders that will provide the training.  I plan to attend both. Catholics need to know how our faithful friends in Christ are planning to fight back; and Evangelicals need to know how their faithful Catholic friends are fighting this spiritual battle.
 
One pastor wrote: "We’re all a part of the body of Christ, and each part matters. There are no insignificant people in the family of God. You are shaped to serve God, and he is testing you to see how you are going to use the talents he gave you." 
 
God bless you all,  John
