In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.

The Rosary is foremost among them.

The Great Rosary Campaign was a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders.

Due to popular demand, and the inherent value of praying the Rosary and doing penance for conversions, the Great Rosary Campaign will remain a pillar of Eternal Christendom's weekly content. Every Sunday, we will continue to announce a weekly call to pray and do penance for both non-Catholics and Catholics.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of faculty and students at "The Master's Seminary," which was founded by the well-known protestant (and oftentimes very anti-Catholic) pastor John MacArthur, who died earlier this year. May he rest in peace. We have heard from sources in the know that there has been increased interest in reading the Church Fathers among both faculty and students, and some have either decided to convert, or are close.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a 24 hour water fast, adjusted for your state in life.

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

1. Keeping the Faith
2. Moral renovation
3. Conversions of non-Catholics

The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this long anticipated Part 2 (see Ep. 19 for Part 1), Catholic theologian and historian Dr. Alan Fimister defends this provocative assertion: the Church founded by Jesus Christ is Roman, in some mysterious sense prophesied in the Old, and fulfilled in the New Testament. The implications are astounding, not only in terms of how we understand the past, but the present, as well as the future history of the world. Part 2 focuses more on the fulfillment of these prophecies in the New Testament. A forthcoming Part 3 will focus on the "Roman" aspects of the end times (particularly the "restrainer" that holds back the coming of Antichrist).

If you haven't yet seen Part 1, check out Ep. 19 here: https://youtu.be/_fR-Y8wd7O0

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we finally dive into the writings of the Church Father who "red pilled" me on the Catholic Church while I was still a protestant: St. Ignatius of Antioch. He was ordained by the Apostles, and barely 70 years after Christ's Ascension wrote astoundingly Catholic things about: the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, apostolic succession, the authority of the priesthood, the Christian altar, the necessity of unity, the greater authority of the Roman Church, and even the very name of the one true Church: the "Catholic Church." Today we are publishing Part 1 of this two-part series in honor of his feast day on October 17.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview Fr. Justin Gable, OP, a Dominican priest and professor at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology (DSPT) in Berkeley, California. When he was interim President of DSPT, Fr. Gable delivered an address to the student body on the vital importance of the "Apostolate of Study" to our increasingly dystopian modern times. In this episode, he generously delivers this address again for us, and we discuss its contents in more detail.

The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for malign actors within the various intelligence agencies around the world (CIA, MI6, Mossad, etc.), and against any participation they may have with demonic entities.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we dive into one of the writings of the great Church Father St. Augustine (354-430) to see how he describes the one true Church. The work is "Against the Fundamental Letter of Manichaeus," which he wrote in AD 397. In short, St. Augustine describes the one true Church in a way that, 1,600 years later, continues to match only one church: the Catholic Church.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview Baptist to Catholic convert Suan Sonna, of @intellectualcatholicism, about his conversion, and some of the lessons he learned about responding to some of the toughest protestant objections during the time he's been Catholic. Suan is one of the great young scholars in the Catholic world today, and is particularly well known for his work on the papacy, and icon veneration.

Suan Sonna is the director of apologetics for the diocese of Bridgeport, CT under Bishop Frank J. Caggiano. He earned his BA in philosophy from Kansas State University, and a Masters from Harvard Divinity School in New Testament Studies. He is currently pursuing another Masters at Yale University in Second Temple Judaism.

The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray and fast against the diabolical influence in our society, particularly against those tormented and deceived by transgender ideology.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is to fast as much as you can per your state in life. Our Lord said that some demons are only expelled by prayer with fasting (Mark 9:29). So in addition to the Rosary, we are asking everyone to take fasting far more seriously in light of the truly diabolical forces at work in our society.

2. Moral renovation
