Is this an institution of learning, or a teenage brothel??

A Catholic church in Missouri has apologized after issuing a call for young men to “form a militia” to protect the congregation.

The Ascension Catholic Church in Chesterfield, Missouri posted a bulletin on its website on June 16. “We are calling all young men back to the Church to form a militia dedicated to protecting the Holy Eucharist, our congregation, our clergy, and the church grounds,” the message read.

The militia would be called “The Legion of the Sancta Lana Council” and will be “composed of young men between the ages of 18-29. Training will include strict physical fitness standards, classroom study, and instruction in military operations.”

The ad encouraged people to scan the QR code if they have experience in military, fitness instruction, Latin, business or medicine. The QR code led to an application for membership to the militia tied to Ascension parish.

The application says that the church “has been chosen as the testing ground for the militia and, if successful, we hope to establish platoons at parishes around the world,” according to the St Louis Post-Dispatch.

Leave it to the Catholic Church to find creative new ways to recruit handsome young men.

Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God.

Do they do this all naked?

The church is much bigger than that pictured. That must be their first chapel. It's got a big school and some grounds.

What's wrong with you, OP? They say "form a militia," and somehow you hear "form a brothel."

Their message is 'make war, not love,' and they're looking for the likes of Kyle Rittenhouse and Dylan Roof.

P.S.: Churches are not 'institutions of learning.'

Indoctrination ≠ teaching.

R6 -- Kyle Rittenhouse is, of course, the model of physical fitness. He is pictured below with alt-universe Gov. Kari Lake of Arizona.

With Project 2025 tucked under their arms as a guide. Take heed, for this is our future with Christian Nationalism.

Considering what they're asking for, they'll have to settle for what they can get.

The gov't needs to tax all churches heavily. It's time we end this useless charade that brainwashed good people into giving them their money and possessions.

Are churches even allowed to build a militia?

I thought they were all about peace and love?

Don’t they trust their own government to protect them? Why would they do this unless they were traitorous and supported overthrowing the government?
