On the last Saturday and Sunday of November, at St. Michael’s Church in Rheinhausen (Germany), Father Karl Stehlin led the recollection, the main theme of which was: “Saint Maximilian Kolbe – defender of the Catholic tradition”.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n He has given several lectures focusing on the following issues:<\/p>\r\n 1) Saint Maximilian opposed ecumenism. He founded the M.I., whose goal is the conversion of infidels to the Church through Mary, Mediatrix of all Graces.<\/p>\r\n 2) The founder of the M.I. was against pacifism. Knights are active in the Church Militant: fighting against sin and Satan, fighting for the triumph of Christ and Mary.<\/p>\r\n 3) The ideas of the M.I. and its actions were the target of the evil movement of Freemasonry because they were against the spirit of the Second Vatican Council; instead of “innovating heaven on earth”, St. Maximilian set as his goal the salvation of every soul in order to preserve himself from the clutches of sin, attachment and imperfections.<\/p>\r\n At the end of the recollection, 15 new knights, including several children, joined the ranks of the Militia of the Immaculat\u00e6.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Mothers from Rheinhausen, with the permission of the prior, founded the M.I. 2 \u201cMothers\u201d<\/strong>. Members meet twice a month. At the first meeting there is a lecture by one of the ladies, and the second meeting of the month is for common prayer for the holiness of families.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
