This was a good, and very encouraging read. I'm a big fan of Fr. Nix.
The fact that they were even asking these questions proves to me that they were already soldiers of Christ. Thirty men and boys on the Texas/Mexican border worshipping God, living in tents for a few nights, hiking 10 miles while praying the Rosary and hunkering down to be a battle-worthy but joyful Church Militant is the answer to the Church crisis in the Vatican. I don’t even need to answer the above questions in this blog post. The fact is that the crisis in the Church (reaching boiling point after 100 years of modernism) is oddly producing more converts to traditional Catholicism than anything I or another priest could say to encourage a return to tradition.
