in our real life person to person interactions

trying to be better people who lift those up around us

I'm intending to start some IRL shit as soon as I can

quite frankly, from what I have seen

Poster the local churches

we do not have anywhere near a "critical mass" to kickstart a big social or political movement

print out the posters on the site

put them up near your local traditionalist churches

True. But the whole shebang started out with just one girl saying yes.

I want sweaters for legio christi

Poster the local Churches! Tho due to the small city i'm living in I'd probably have to start something here from zero

With your local chapter names

i'm in a university town

Is this not the same trap we have fallen in over and over again for the past 70 years?

so I think I could poster the school too

I'm trying to start a chapter

We must think saints, not generals

There's some guys in my area but we're pretty spread out

in our actions, in our planning

we are not Christians because we seek more ink on the map demarcting our territory, we should really embrace our faith, and try to let some of that beauty shine through to other people in our lifes

Saints, so that we can witness by our actions, inspiring others to become Catholic?

I like you, Kaitsar.

cross out Catholic, and we have a deal 😛

I'm just an Orthodox Observer really

but the principle aplies none the less

Hey, you bring 'em to the Orthodox Church, I'll bring 'em to the Catholic. Finders keepers.

hehehe, agreed

No chill for catholics 😢

who was the saint who said that if you find inner peace, a thousand souls around you will be saved?

Not sure, but it sounds like a good plan.

and, I mean I dont think you even have to be a great saint to let the light shine through. I think something as simple as patience sometimes with people, a virtue sorlely lacking today

can sometimes open peoples minds

And wishing everyone the best.

Show by your every action that you deeply care about them.

and, even viewing this as purely an engineering or a tactical issue, we need to build up a critical mass, if you will

before the fire will get started

but in the end, it's not about engineering, it is about our relationship with God, love, and so on

granted, my perspective on it is going to be somewhat different coming from a more Orthodox setting

I'm Byzantine, so I know where you're coming from.

I feel too many of the reactionaries of the past, they have just had a mechanical faith, or a blind fear of the future. We must embrace what we love, and we must not look at society as an engineering challenge, but as something to be dealt with with prayer and discernment.

Of course, in the end, it is all up to God
