What is the Angelic Warfare Confraternity?
A Catechesis by Fr. James Brent, O.P.
Posted by Br. Innocent Smith, O.P. on June 16, 2011
The Angelic Warfare Confraternity, an official apostolate of the Dominican Order, is a supernatural fellowship of men and women bound to one another in love and dedicated to pursuing and promoting chastity together under the powerful patronage of St. Thomas Aquinas and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Fr. James Brent, O.P., the Promoter for the Confraternity, recently wrote a question-and-answer catechesis to spread the word about the Confraternity. It includes questions such as: What is a Confraternity?
Why is this Confraternity called the "Angelic Warfare"?
What is the cord of St. Thomas? To read Fr. Brent's catechesis, visit the Angelic Warfare Confraternity website. The Confraternity has also published two issues of a newly established newsletter: August 2010 and December 2010.
The image printed with this post comes from the original handbook of the Confraternity, Militia angelica divi Thomae Aquinatis, published by the founder of the Confraternity, Fr. Francisco Deurwerders, O.P., in 1659. This extremely rare work may be read online or downloaded from Google Books.
