Offsite Post: ‘The Four Pillars’

 

Holy, triumphant martyrs, Nazarius,

Celsus, Gervasius, and Protasius,

Highly honored patrons of Milan,

Together you are four stone pillars

Upholding the solid square foundation

Of the Western Church.  Filled with God’s power,

No evil force could undermine the edifice

Built upon your Grace-filled prayers and relics.

So other Masons, diabolically

Inspired, have conspired to build another

Structure upon another shape, a new

Twist in an old quest, the divinization

Of man – now to occur through the potency

Of technology, . . .

The rest is at https://www.newenglishreview.org/articles/the-four-pillars/.

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
