The Lepanto Group

This is a list of blogs which meet the following criteria (in my opinion as editor of this list):

• They believe and profess all that the Catholic Church believes and professes to be revealed by God.
• They hold the opinion that the announced policy of the United States in Iraq conforms to the Just War doctrine of the Catholic Church.

My motive in preparing the Lepanto Group list is to be a blog-based resource to create a solidarity among bloggers who hold to the above principles, or for readers to sample some of the opinions and news stories these blog writers link to.

The name Lepanto itself comes from a victory of Christian Europe over the Ottoman Empire on 10/07/1571. An international coalition formed by Pope St. Pius V preemptively attacked the Ottoman fleet in Lepanto. It was both a psychological and strategic victory. It had the practical effect of freeing thousands of Christian galley slaves. This day was proclaimed in honor of Our Lady of Victory, and then designated Our Lady of the Rosary.

A poem written by G.K. Chesterton, Lepanto, is worth reading.
