PanzerPope: Benedict is a man of his convictions; he is not going to back down over this, not even now.
Yes, Yukio Mishima formed the Tatenokai, the Sheild Society, born of living sheilds, men of faith willing to pray, believe, and die if necessary for the Emperor, the things every Christian is called to be under Christ. In light of this I can but pray for a ring of holy fire to protect Pope Benedict and the Church's people.
OK, I now appreciate whence your thoughts come. Thanks!
