As the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of its founding, Americans can give no better gift than standing up for God’s law and human life. On January 23, hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers took to the streets for the 53rd March for Life in Washington, D.C., to boldly proclaim their vision for America’s future.

The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) joined the March for Life with a large contingent gathered around a beautiful statue of Our Lady of Fatima, its trademark 18-foot red standards, and the Holy Choir of Angels brass, drum, and bagpipe band.

With better weather than last year, an immense crowd filled the streets, including large numbers of young people, full of enthusiasm for the cause of the unborn and the future of the family. A veritable sea of banners and signs from groups around the nation blanketed the National Mall as the opening rally began.

Another Crossroads

This year’s March for Life finds the movement at yet another crossroads. The overturning of Roe v. Wade represented a major victory that broke the momentum of the pro-abortionist movement. However, the battle is far from over. There is great pressure upon the movement to be more “flexible” on the issue.

 On the left and the right, there are those who claim other issues are just as important, if not more so, than procured abortion. They insist that immigration, inflation, climate change or caring for poor children must now be given priority.

“We must never give up or even reduce the pace of our march until we have achieved complete victory of an abortion-free America in our times,” commented TFP Student Action director John Ritchie.

Like last year, Vice President J.D. Vance spoke to the crowd and reaffirmed the Administration’s support for the cause. He said many heartening things, such as “We are trying to persuade our fellow citizens that we must build up that culture of life,” and, “under this administration, again, from the president of the United States to the vice president, you have an ally in the White House.” Many, however, have been disappointed with the government’s approval for an abortion pill that is a key component in the post-Roe abortion fight. They still yearn to see Planned Parenthood totally defunded.

Broadening the Perspective of the Fight

This year, the American TFP distributed a flyer titled “We Must Resist the Pressure to Abandon the Unborn and Embrace Other Causes.”

The statement says that the best reply to those who want to embrace other causes is to view the fight in a broader context. Pro-lifers must see their fight not just as defending a “single issue,” but as part of a larger battle over what remains of Christian civilization.

This broad historical perspective can be found in the book Revolution and Counter-Revolution, by the learned Catholic intellectual and man of action, Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira.

The author claims modern history can be seen as a struggle between two forces: the enemies of the Church and Christendom (the Revolution) and those who defend Christian civilization (the Counter-Revolution).

This Revolution (with a capital R) is the unifying force of a vast attack upon Christianity that spans centuries. The fight for procured abortion is only one of its many facets.

The Counter-revolution finds unity in the Catholic Church’s efforts to uphold Christian civilization and stem the tide of revolutionary aggression.

Inside the context of the Counter-revolution, the abortion battle can more effectively work to save the unborn.

If the debate is framed in this way, it broadens the scope of all action. When activists fight against abortion, they fight against the Revolution that aims to destroy Christianity. Fighting against any aspect of the Revolution advances the pro-life cause.

The TFP statement expands perspectives yet further by calling upon the supernatural power of God and Our Lady to make this fight proportionate to the “principalities and powers, the dominators of this world of darkness” that are involved in promoting abortion’s culture of death.

Young People Abound

“I am encouraged to see so many people of my generation and younger here,” commented TFP volunteer Jon Paul Fabrizio. “America will only be great in the future when it defends God’s law.”

Indeed, young people are attracted to the prolife cause because they see more than just saving babies’ lives, but saving the country. Those who say that this is a “single issue” battle are wrong. It is a vibrant and necessary part of a larger battle over what remains of Christian civilization.

The American TFP will be joining prolife protests all over the country. It will hold 1000 Public Square Rosary Rallies in January as a means to storm heaven with prayers for an America where God’s Law and human life are respected and loved.

How the American TFP Was Able to Make Reparation in Vienna

How the American TFP Was Able to Make Reparation in Vienna

Nothing devastates Catholic hearts quite like insults to Our Lord and His Mother. Today’s Rosary Rally of Reparation in Vienna is all the proof you need.

The Künstlerhaus, one of Austria’s most prestigious art venues, shamelessly put together an exhibit titled “You Shall Make for Yourself an Image.” This new exhibit showcases some of the most blasphemous artwork from around the world.

Affronts include images of a frog attached to a crucifix, a bearded man and an LGBT activist dressed as the Blessed Mother, priestly vestments stained with excrement and pornographic depictions of the Holy Family.

Righteous Anger Turns into Action

Catholics all over the world, especially those in Austria, are rightfully outraged. The Künstlerhaus clearly offended God and countless Catholics, who were inspired to react.

The Austrian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) took the initiative to prepare an online petition of protest.

As news of the exhibit spread beyond Austria, TFPs from around the world joined the effort. The American TFP collected a total of 23,448 signatures through three separate petition drives. These petitions requested that Tanja Prušnik, the President of Künstlerhaus Association, remove the exhibit immediately.

On the museum, one of the blasphemies depicting a bearded man dressed as Our Lady can be seen. Inside of the museum, dozens of other blasphemies were also featured.

A delegation of American TFP members traveled from the United States to deliver these signatures in person. An appointment to deliver the petitions was arranged for December 9. However, just a few days before, the appointment was suddenly cancelled by a museum spokesperson. It appears that the Künstlerhaus does not value the pleas of so many Catholics.

Taking to the Streets of Vienna

However, the TFPs took their protest beyond the petition. As the TFP activists often affirm, public blasphemy demands public reparation. Thus, dozens of people gathered in front of the Künstlerhaus for a Rosary Rally of Reparation.

The timing and location of this rally were carefully planned. To reach as many people as possible, it began at 6 p.m. Foot traffic was abundant, since the evening is a peak time for visitors at the nearby Christmas market.

The most symbolic aspect was the date: December 8, which is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Many of the exhibit’s blasphemies specifically target the virtue and purity of the Blessed Mother. This was the best day to make a solemn act of reparation.

Attendees came from around the world. Some of the countries represented include the United States, Czechia, Germany, Poland, Brazil, India, South Korea, Cameroon, Tunisia and, of course, Austria.

Everyone was equipped with rosaries, the most important weapon in the war against blasphemy. The rosary was led by members of TFP Student Action Europe and was recited in German, the local language.

The participants sang the Creed, the Salve Regina and a traditional Austrian hymn. Additionally, many of them approached the statue of Our Lady of Fatima and paid homage to the Queen of Heaven.

The German sign translates to “Please honk your horns against blasphemy!”

The beauty of the rally contrasted sharply with a grotesque image of the blasphemy advertised on the museum’s façade. One man emerged from the museum and began beating on a trash can, hoping to disrupt the prayers.

His antics only lasted a few seconds before security removed him. Another man screamed at us from across the street in such a violent way that not even the Austrians could understand him.

However, most people were shocked by the blasphemy and wanted to do everything they could to oppose it. One woman said she found out about the protest from an email from the American TFP and drove two hours from Czechia to attend. Several others approached the Americans and thanked them for flying across the Atlantic to participate.

After spending an hour in front of the Künstlerhaus making reparation for the blasphemies inside, the rally concluded. The conversation afterwards was very lively, with many people discussing possible next steps to close this exhibit for good.

Why This Protest Matters for Americans

Witnessing Catholics from around the world unite against this blasphemy was truly beautiful. These members of the universal Church recognize that blasphemy is not confined by borders. Each and every blasphemy represents a profound offense to God, who is omnipresent.

These international Rosary Rallies of Reparation tell God that no matter where He is attacked, faithful Catholics will always be there to protest and make reparation.

Thanks to the generous support and donations of many God-fearing Americans, the American delegation was pleased to represent the nation in the public square.

Please continue to pray in reparation for this exhibit, which is scheduled to run until February 8, 2026.
