This is about the most manly and heroic thing I have ever seen. Thank you, Society of Saint Pius X! Thank you for the public resistance to Rome's heresies and for bearing witness to the Truth of the Catholic Faith.

 

Thank you for letting us know that there are real men in this world. They wear cassocks and they are heroes.
