The Internet is a wonderful thing - I got an email that led me to this site, where the
Battle of Lepanto is commemorated, as well as all sorts of good stuff - check out
Tradition in Action: "committed to defend the perennial Magisterium of Holy Mother Church and Catholic traditions. TIA also works for a restoration of Christian civilization, adapted to contemporary historical circumstances." Inspiring even for a non-Catholic like me!
As another non-Catholic, I question whether TIA deserves this praise.
The portion on the Battle of Lepanto is quite well done. We annually have a service and discussion on the annivarsary. However, owing to anti-firearms regulations in the District of Columbia, our arquebusiers are forbidden the celebratory discharges customary to the season.
