“Regard also our most devout Emperor and since Thou knowest, O God, the desires of his heart, grant by the ineffable grace of Thy goodness and mercy, that he may enjoy with all his people the tranquility of perpetual peace and heavenly victory.” (From the Prayers after the Exsultet or Praeconium Paschale)

Who is John Lorran?

The old fairy tale makes the hero a normal human boy; it is his adventures that are startling; they startle him because he is normal.– G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

John Lorran is a fifteen year old boy an inch or so taller than average height, with a slight (but not prominent) elongation of nose and chin, brown hair, and intelligent brown eyes, born in Innsbruck, Tyrol on the fifth of April. Well trained with firearms, he is also an expert swordsman, and excels at horseback-riding. A cautious lad, but a natural leader (though often abstracted in thought), his past is as secret as his real name, which is Sorry (no that’s not his name), but you have to buy the book to find  out what his name really is. Do you think I would put spoilers like this on the web?!*.

What is Christendom?

True unity between Church and State, through Our Lord Jesus, Blessed Mary Ever-Virgin, and the Holy Rosary.

But there is a narrower sense in which Christendom stands for a polity as well as a religion, for a nation as well as for a people. Christendom in this sense was an ideal which inspired and dignified many centuries of history and which has not yet altogether lost its power over the minds of men. Catholic Encyclopedia: “Christendom”

Christendom is the temporal and cultural sphere of Catholicity, as opposed to the spiritual(i.e. the Catholic Church), a uniquely Catholic Civilization with the Pope as its supreme head, and the Emperor is its temporal and military head. To separate Catholicism and Christendom is to severely maim Catholicism, and leave it without a political, cultural, and military defender. It is not a “supra-national state,” but a unifying Civilization encompassing many states and cultures in accordance with the Catholic principle of Subsidiarity, having the Holy Roman Imperium as its highest temporal authority.

Tower of Ivory

When a fifteen year old boy named “John Lorran” is forced into the United Nations’ International Academy, he has no idea what he is doing there other than becoming a good soldier. But when he discovers the UN’s secret agenda and his training comes into conflict with his childhood faith and ancient heritage, it is up to him to decide what to do with his life.
