"Traditional Catholic Church"

Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Confessor. He was born in the year 1491 at the regal Castle of Loyola, in Spain. He served the king as a soldier until his thirtieth year. Convalescing from a severe wound received at the siege of Pampeluna, he was given, in the absence of other books, the Lives of Jesus Christ and of the Saints. It dawned on his chivalric nature that the Catholic Church has need of her army to defend under sovereign Pontiff the interest of God against heresy and all evil. On his recovery he ascended Montserrat and in the Benedictine Abbey there he laid down his sword at the feet of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He learned here to love the Psalms and canticles of the Divine Office which he was later to recommend to the faithful; he desired that those who were to make his Spiritual Exercises should choose of Matins and Vespers as well as to Mass. Among the Benedictines of Saint Paul's in Rome, Saint Ignatius pronounced his vows and was regularly elected the first general of his new Society.
The name of Loyola and the Society founded by him are Synonymous with the highest degree of the Catholic life and activity, so that the enemies of the Catholic Church, Whilst they may show toleration for other religious Orders, keep up an undying hatred for that of Saint Ignatius, in which they justly recognize the most efficient and invincible command of the Vicar of Jesus Christ.
Saint Ignatius and his companions, by means of the Spiritual Exercises tried to raise the clergy to a higher realization of their own dignity and mission. Their zeal for the Liturgy led them to restore the churches to their former cleanliness, dignity, and magnificence. Drawn by these exterior attractions, the faithful were the more easily induced to frequent the Sacraments and the Office of the Catholic Church. From the very beginning they undertook works of education and missionary labors.
With the sweet name of Jesus on his lips and in his heart, Saint Ignatius, Faithfully gave his soul to God, on July 31, in the year 1556. His body is preserved at Rome in the magnificent church built by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and is dedicated to his memory.
