Catholic Texans Take a Stand Against Drag Queen Mockery of Christmas

In the heart of downtown Houston, Texas, Christmas carols on the bagpipes could be heard reverberating off the skyscrapers along with slogans such as, “If you love America, keep Christ in Christmas!”

The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) co-sponsored the event with TFP-Texas. Many local supporters also attended the rosary rally in reparation for the blasphemous Drag Queen “Christmas” event, which took place at the Bayou Music Center on December 17, 2024.

Even before the campaign was set up, a group of ladies passing by asked the TFP members where they were going with their banners and signs. TFP volunteer Matthew Shibler responded, “Right across the street to that corner. We’re here to defend the real Christmas against a drag queen mockery of Christmas taking place in that theater.”

One lady exclaimed, “What?! Drag Queen Christmas? That’s horrible! Thank you for what you’re doing!”

Make Christmas Holy Again

Cesar Franco, the local TFP member in Houston, started the rally with the primary intention for the rosary, “We are here to console the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the vile mockery of Christmas taking place in this music center.”

A few examples of the signs present were, “Honk! Keep Christ in Christmas; keep Christmas Pure. Don’t Drag it in the Mud, and Make Christmas Holy Again.”

The number of honks in support of the rally clearly showed that Houstonians want the real reason for Christmas to be respected: the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Vile Hatred of Christ and Christmas

Despite the massive support from the cars driving by, there were still those who couldn’t help but show a seething hatred for the rally with obscene gestures and shouts.

One man in a crowd of rollerbladers shouted, “Christ has nothing to do with Christmas!” This man clearly couldn’t understand the absurdity of his statement or the literal meaning of the word “Christmas.”

What is the True Christmas Spirit?

In a frenzied and intemperate world that solely focuses on materialism, the true meaning of Christmas is being eroded and forgotten. Once Our Lord is removed from the picture, all forms of degeneracy and immorality are free to fill the void.

How in the world is it now seen as acceptable to allow a perverted Drag Queen Christmas event to take place? Shamefully, Our Lord Jesus Christ ends up being replaced by a distortion of what the organizers say is “in the spirit of the season”—transgender ideology.

These Drag Queen Christmas events pervert the real reason for Christmas. The true spirit of Christmas can only be found in defending the honor and respect due to the birth of Our Lord and the Holy Family.

Lafayette Locals Campaign to Keep Christ in Christmas

Lafayette Locals Campaign to Keep Christ in Christmas

Christmas Eve finds countless people anxiously awaiting the dawn of the following day. However, how many people truly remember Him who was born in Bethlehem over two thousand years ago? How many keep Christmas simply as another holiday instead of a great, holy day?

Thankfully, this Christmas Eve in the Louisiana town of Lafayette, about thirty local citizens joined Tradition, Family, and Property – Louisiana (TFP) to make sure that Christ was not forgotten.

Choosing a well-used intersection, they raised banners proclaiming Christ as the source of the Christmas season, while evoking public response with Honk signs. The heavy intersection traffic responded enthusiastically with hundreds of honks as the campaign’s Christmas joy permeated the surroundings.

In keeping with the religious tone, the crowd prayed the full 15 mysteries of the Holy Rosary, interspersed with Christmas carols. One attendee commented on how the traditional Christmas carols spread so much joy, seen in the smiles of those listening from their cars. Several people even rolled down their windows and yelled, “Merry Christmas!” as they drove by. “In a world so decadent,” one man said, “it’s really good to see some real Christmas cheer! Keep Christ in Christmas!” Without a doubt, the rally was a special gift offered to Christ this Christmas, in the same country where so many others neglect Him.

Why Campaign for Christmas?

Unfortunately, Christmas time has been under attack for years.

“Xmas” and “the Holidays” are progressively replacing the word Christmas throughout the U.S., prompting store employees and social notables to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. Inflatable silly Santa Clauses and other forms of secularized Christmas decor are overtaking front lawns, excluding Nativity scenes.

The Devil Attacks Christmas

Even worse this year are the direct attacks on Christmas made by the devil himself. In Concord, New Hampshire, a life-size statue of Baphomet with ten anti-commandments popped up overnight outside the State Capitol. Although hotly debated and broken several times, the satanic statue was remade and stood in glaring contrast to the Nativity scene, placed on the same grounds.

Also, at the State Capitol in St. Paul, Minnesota, the Minnesota Satanists Congregation erected their own satanic statue. It features a yellow and red phoenix with a head in the form of the satanic hand sign. Thanks be to God, this affront to Our Lord drew public protest as a group of faithful Catholics prayed and sang Christmas carols inside the rotunda.

The Public Response to Attacks on Christmas

Fortunately, this public response to the secular and satanic is not restricted to Minnesota. This year, 43 State Capitols have Nativity Scenes displayed on their grounds. And even more joyful news is the first time-ever Nativity Scene on the steps of the U.S. Capitol building.

However, this shift only came after years of campaigning to Keep Christ in Christmas.

This is why the members of Tradition, Family, and Property – Louisiana (TFP) and around thirty others stood at the intersection of Johnston St. and Ambassador Caffery Parkway to pray and exhort the public to Keep Christ in Christmas.

Divine Infant Jesus, Have Mercy on us!

TFP Call to Chivalry Camp: Hungary’s Great Catholic Heroes Teach “Advance Always! Retreat Never!”

TFP Call to Chivalry Camp: Hungary’s Great Catholic Heroes Teach “Advance Always! Retreat Never!”

From November 18-22, young Catholic boys from across the country participated in the Call to Chivalry Fall Camp held at the White Buffalo Resort in rural Arkansas. The event was organized by the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) and Tradition, Family, Property–Louisiana. This year’s theme focused on the Catholic history of Hungary.

The Virtue of Chivalry and Hungary’s Great Heroes

The camp promoted talks and daily activities that stressed the importance of chivalry and its long-lost virtues so needed today.

During the rough-and-tumble games, chivalrous behavior was encouraged and unchivalrous conduct was penalized. Every aspect of the camp had in mind the moral and character formation of camp participants.

The camp also aimed at giving the boys good role models to admire. To do this, TFP speakers focusing on great Hungarian heroes that included Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, Saint Stephen of Hungary, Saint John Capistrano and crusader John Hunyadi.

The Hungarian theme was present during outdoor games. Team captains invoked their Hungarian patrons before each game. “Pray for us!” came the resolute response after shouting out saint names. The boys also encouraged each other with expressions “Viva Cristo Rey!” and “Advance always, retreat never!”

Catholic Hikes and Nightly Campfires

These fall campers especially liked the hike up the cliff across the river from the campground. After crossing the river in boats, the young men scrambled up the cliff to their destination—a large cross 450 feet above the river. From the summit, the group prayed the rosary and sang hymns and crusader songs, which echoed over the plain below.

The hike served to remind camp them that crusaders are called to embrace the crosses of hardship and suffering. However, those who take up their crosses find true peace and joy.

On another day, the boys hiked the Indian Rockhouse Trail which included an exploration of the nooks and crannies of a big cavern.

Every night after dinner, participants gathered around the campfires. The day would end with boys listening to inspiring stories. They also enjoyed homemade hot cider and the traditional s’mores and hot chocolate.

A Grand Finale to a Blessed Camp

After a very blessed camp, the event closed with the recitation of the Holy Rosary in a solemn procession with flags, torches and a statue of Our Lady. Next came the medieval banquet which featured salmon, freshly-caught fish, shrimp alfredo pasta and a Dobos Torte cake in the shape of the Belgrade Castle defended by Hungarian John Hunyadi.

Each camper received a magnificent framed picture of Saint Stephen of Hungary on horseback.

Fortified in their faith, the boys went home inspired by Catholic heroes and ready to confront the spiritual battles that await them in this fallen modern-day world.

These events enkindled a fiery zeal for the Catholic Church in their souls. Thus, the Call to Chivalry Camps play a role in forming the next generation of Catholic leaders who will take up the crusader Cross in defense of moral values and Christian civilization.

As the spiritual battles rages, these boys are ready to always advance for good and never retreat in the face of evil.
