A very tasty (Italian language) book by F M di Giovine (Gli Zuavi Pontifici e loro nemici) has a Preface by Don Sisto Enrico di Borbone, which His Royal Highness dates as "10 marzo 2020 Festa dei Martiri della Tradizione".
Sounds a very tempting feast! Does anybody have any information about it?
Don Sisto was the first, immediately after the Episcopal Consecrations, to congratulate Archbishop Lefebvre.
The book is dedicated to the distinguished memory of Mgr Ignazio Barreiro Carambula, whom I had the privilege of getting to know in Connecticut during the last months of his life.
It also contains, exempli gratia, the Song of the English Zouaves. Here is the first of many rousing stanzas:
"Saint George and old England forever!/ Once more her sons arm for the fight./ With the cross on their breasts to do battle/ For God, Holy Church, and the right./ Twine your swords with the palm branch, brave comrades,/ For as pilgrims we march forth today; /Love God, O my soul, love him only,/And then with light heart go thy way."
We English, of course, with our inherited naval affections, have a soft spot for the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Papal States because it was that great Englishman and sailor His Grace the Duke of Bronte who put down the "Parthenopaean Republic" and succoured our late Sovereign Liege Lord King Henry IX, Cardinal Bishop of Frascati, when His Most Eminent Majesty had been reduced to beggary by the Corsican.
Last March 10th, several members of the «Camino Real de Tejas» got together to celebrate the feast of the «Martyrs of Tradition» at the Mater Dei Latin Mass Parish in Irving (Texas).
ReplyDeleteDuring the celebration of the Holy Mass according to the traditional rite, Father Cunningham offered a vibrant homily highlighting the loyalty and sacrifice of the 40 martyrs of Sebaste. Brave soldiers who chose to die in the frozen waters before surrendering their holy religion and worshiping the idols.
Likewise, the martyrs of Tradition preferred to give it all for God, Country and King before embracing Liberalism; The luciferian liberty that destroys families, countries and man himself, as we are seeing in this last phase of the liberal revolution.

Sixtus Henry of Bourbon-Parma is the legitimate King Henry V of Spain according to the traditional Carlist reckoning. The feast of the Martyrs of Tradition was instituted by his predecessor, the legitimate Charles VII, on 5 November 1895 during his Venetian exile, and set on 10 March, the anniversary of the death of Charles V, the first of the Carlist kings. The feast is meant to commemorate the fallen in the Carlist wars, and is the occasion for local Carlist meetings throughout Spain & its old Empire, featuring a Requiem Mass followed by a luncheon. These reunions used to be quite multitudinous during the earlier half of the last century, much to the alarm of the Second Republic, the Falange, and even Franco's régime.
