Taking our name from a childhood group of St. John Bosco, we study to eschew anything which causes sadness, that is, anything which is contrary to the will of God. We eagerly promote the living Tradition of the Catholic Church, mindful of the prayers of the living as well as the democracy of the dead, under the dual patronage of St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort, Apostle of Our Lady, and St. Pius X, Hammer of the Modernists.

In case you’d like to know more about our contributors . . . . Three of our contributors hold PhDs from Cornell University (Philosophy, Physics, and Chemistry) and three others are ABD (Philosophy, Philosophy, and Classics). We are very pleased also to number one engineer with a terminal Master’s in our ranks! Only two of us are cradle Catholics and at least four of the group were baptized in their 20s. We have a former Lutheran and Mormon as well as two ex-Anglicans.

God’s mercy is great and His ways are unsearchable, that such a group as we should have been given the grace to find the true Faith and to promote through this website Christ’s Spouse, our Holy Mother: the Catholic Church!
