Our Lady Defended Against Blasphemous Movie! Tampa, Fl.
Sadly, the European film Benedetta has come to the United States and offers a sacrilegious, scandalous sto-ryline. Even worse are the blasphemies in the film, many specifically targeting Our Blessed Mother that are too vile to speak of. As her faithful children, we did not turn a blind eye to this blasphemy. We were honored to do these rosary rallies and protests against Benedetta. The ANF Battelines team organized peaceful protests across the nation, with hundreds of devout Catholics who stood outside of the theaters showing the film. These faithful soldiers of Christ and defenders of Mary made it clear that they would not allow Our Mother to be blasphemed or attacked. We offer prayers of gratitude and a huge thank you to every captain who held a rally, to everyone who attended, and to everyone who prayed for reparation. You are part of Our Lady’s triumph!

Cascade of Grace in Miami “Amazing…one blessing after another from Our Lady” is how Sergio described the rosary ally that he led in front of Tower Theater in Miami. He and 20 others were there protesting Benedetta in early December. Sergio said the “cascade of grace” began when a security guard told them to park in front of the theater and that she would look out for them as they prayed. Although not Catholic, the guard was delighted to accept St. Michael medals from the group. Police, on patrol, were also support ive, sharing that they hated the blasphemy and “would have the backs” of the group during the rally. Inspired with the witness of praying in public, a pair of tourists walking by joined the rosary. Another attendee walked up and down the street with a giant cross. The crowning glory of Our Lady’s victory was that only about half a dozen men went to see the film while the rally was being held!

Mary Always Provides
Victory for Our Lady In Rochester Resolved to defend Our Lady against the blasphemy of Benedetta, Rally Captains Mark and Cynthia planned three protests at the Little Theater in Rochester, New York. During the rally on December 4, participants were met with vulgar hand signs and obscenities, while
a biting wind cut through their clothes. Love for the Blessed Mother kept the prayer warriors steadfast though, as inspiration came from many passersby showing sup-port. A wonderful grace from Our Lady was also realized when the attendees discovered they all attend the same Latin Mass every Sunday. The attendees reported that the movie in Rochester was sparsely attended. Perhaps a message was sent to the theater that this kind of filth won’t sell! As Mark and Cynthia said, “God will use this evil for good.”
Stacy found a theater near her in Brandon, Flor-ida, that would be showing the Benedetta movie and she immediately signed up to be a Rally Captain. Un-fortunately, because of short notice, the America Needs Fatima protest banner would not be delivered to her until after her rally. She was determined to hold the rally anyway when she received a call from a friend who had met someone with the very banner she needed. “Mary always provides!”, exclaimed Stacy. A small group of people watched from the sidelines as Stacy and her rally
attendees set up in front of the theater. As soon as they understood the situation, the group joined the prayer rally bringing the number to twenty prayer warriors strong - twice as many as movie attendants. “I knew for sure Our Lady of Fatima wanted us to hold this rally, she was watching over us!” said Stacy.
Defending Catholic Teaching Recently, Catholic Marquette University in Milwaukee invited Fr. James Martin, S.J., to speak at the school. For years, Fr. Martin has spoken in favor of same sex “marriage” and transgender lifestyles. To protest this event, Rally Captains Rex and Evan led a rosary rally at the school where they were joined by almost 40 devout Catholics. The cold weather on rally day was no match for the resolute prayer
warriors, who lined the street near the campus entrance with signs and banners. Evan reported that one student stopped by to tell him, “The whole school was exploding about our campaign.” Sadly, he also said that many student posts were in grave error about Catholic Doctrine.
We must protest when Catholic Institutions teach that one can be a faithful Catholic while living an active homosexual or transgender lifestyle! If you want to defend Catholic teaching, please call 844-830-3570 or email Protest@TFP.org.
Praying With Angels Rally Captain Noemi decided to protest a Drag Queen Story Hour at Brookside Gardens Center in Maryland. Previously, she had led others in the rosary to oppose DQSH at this same location, but this time she would be alone. “I was there and started the Rosary at 10am,” Noemi reported. “Then I realized I was not by myself. I felt that the entire Heaven was with me!” Many cars entered the event location, and some people snapped photos of her banners, which she had cleverly mounted on her car. Graces flowed as inspirational thoughts to give her confidence. “I started re-membering that ‘when two or more gather together in the name of God, He is there.’’ and ‘Everything you do for the least of mine, you do it to Me.’ Noemi told us she was grateful for the grace of knowing angels prayed with her!

A Week of Protests Captain Luis was horrified when he heard that Benedetta was playing in a theater in Tucson. Determined to put an end to this affront against God and His Blessed Mother, he held a rosary rally of protest every day that the movie was playing, from Friday, December 3 until Wednesday, December 8. On Saturday, an employee of the theater ap-proached Luis and the prayer warriors saying, “I just watched the trailer, and it made me sick. Thank you for what you are doing to stop this!” Thirteen people attended his rallies on Friday and Saturday, but numbers dwindled to three by Wednesday as the rallies became later and the weather colder. Yet, Luis was still encouraged, affirming, “This poor sinner feels redemption and hopes that someone’s spiritual condition changes because of what we did.”
Aggressor in Louisville! On Saturday December 4, Rally Captain Frank and his ten fellow protestors were peacefully praying a Rosary Rally of Reparation in Louisville for the film Benedetta, when a man leaving the blas-phemous movie became aggressive. “He immediately tried to tear our banner in half, but we stopped him. A rally attendant shouted the TFP protocol warning, “Aggressor!” three times. Not knowing how far he would go, and with the help of our guardian angels, we subdued him. It was wild
and funny, but no one was hurt. Deo gratias!” exclaimed Captain Frank. Being inspired with holy zeal found in Louisville, Frank held a second rally on Sunday, at a differ-ent theater in Louisville on December 5. Thank you, Frank, and God bless you and everyone who at-tended a Rosary Rally of Protest. Thank you for standing your ground and peacefully defending the honor and purity of Our Mother, Mary.
From the desk of Robert E. Ritchie Dear Soldier of Our Lady, On March 19 we celebrate the holy feast of Saint Joseph, Our Lord’s foster father. In honor of Saint Joseph, Head of the Holy Family, Our Lady’s Rally Captains are gearing up for a special battle – a battle more important than ever: to preserve the sanctity of marriage.
Defending Souls at Risk in Wisconsin Retired from her position at St. Norbert’s College in De Pere, Wisconsin, Julie was shocked to hear that the Catholic school celebrates an annual “Coming Out Week”, an event that encourages students to believe that they can be faithful Catholics while living sinful homosexual or trans-gender lifestyles. Knowing that Catholic schools must never put souls at risk by teaching this error, Julie resolved to lead a rosary in protest. Rallying on a cold, windy day at the campus entrance, Julie was warmed by upbeat responses of passersby and by her grace-filled rally attendees. “It was so nice to talk to like-minded people,” she reported. “I’m glad we connected with them.” ANF is also glad that Julie, along with the angels, was there to lead them in prayer!
“The final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about marriage and the family,” Sister Lucy wrote. “Don’t be afraid, because whoever works for the sanc-tity of marriage and the family will always be fought against and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue.” Today, we live in the age Our Lady warned was coming, and we are seeing its damaging effects, especially with the LGBT movement gaining more and more footing in today’s society. It is more important than ever to stand in peaceful and prayerful public protest, offering reparation to Our Lord and Our Lady. Under Saint Joseph’s protection Our Lady’s captains are gearing up for the Traditional Marriage Crusade on Sat-urday, March 19 at noon local time. That’s Saint Joseph’ s feast day, and we will invoke his powerful aid in our spiritual war for holy families and traditional marriage. It’s our great honor to once more defend the true definition of marriage by praying Rosaries in the public square! Last year, over 3,000 Rally Captains joined me in public prayer. If we do not defend holy truth, then who will? The beautiful, life-giving cause of traditional marriage has never been so abandoned by Catholics as it is now. With this in mind, I ask you to please join other Rosary Rally Captains and me on March 19, at noon local time in the great battle support-ing true marriage. All it takes is you and a few friends to stand in public, praying the Rosary and holding a sign that says, “God’s Marriage = 1 man + 1 woman!” Will you help me? If you’d like to stand for true marriage, please contact us at (844) 830-3570 or email us at ANFrosaryrally@aol.com. I pray that Saint Joseph, Patron of Families, gives you a blessed rally and a very holy month of March! Thank you, and God Bless you!
