FAQ and Guidelines

Welcome to the Legio Christi Forums,

We are an international community of Traditionally minded Christians who recognise the current state of society as a sign of spiritual degradation. We seek to rebuild society oriented towards God, failing which, we seek to bring home to God as many souls as choose to convert.

We started as a Facebook group that was founded by members of various forums such as /pol/. The goal was to create a safe-haven on the internet where traditionally-minded Catholics and Orthodox could come together and hold serious discussions as well as bash each others’ religions in a light-hearted manner. From there, we decided to formalise ourselves as a traditional community dedicated to the protection and resuscitation of Christianity within the society around us. We are open to anyone who seeks such a community but only those who believe the tenets taught by the Catholics or the Orthodox have the opportunity of truly advancing within the hierarchy.

Below are the answers to some of the more frequently asked questions, these will be updated as required.

About Page:
Seeks to provide a brief introduction to the group by stating clearly and simply:
- Who We Are:
  - The first iteration of the group was in the form of a Facebook group, Religiously Intolerant - /rel/, which was deleted when it got too large (several times). After a mildly successful rebranding (Cult of Ichthys), we decided that consistently passing 2k members with over half the group remaining active was justification enough to become a proper community.
  - Our main meeting place, unfortunately, is online, but all members are encouraged to arrange in-person meet-ups with each other if they can.
  - Our group was founded by a member of the Orthodox Faith and is comprised primarily of Catholics and Orthodox.
- Our Beliefs:
  - We believe in the Triune Godhead preached in Christianity and consider Catholicism/Orthodoxy as the only two viable options for Salvation.
  - It is our belief that society has strayed too far from God and will soon crumble. This is not defeatist talk, this is a simple acknowledgement of the passage of time having eroded the values upon which this society was built. Just as Christianity eroded Rome’s social foundation, so too have Christianity’s enemies eroded hers.
- Our Goals:
  - We aim to create a combined Catholic/Orthodox community in the world.
  - We hope to bring home to God as many souls as are willing to follow Him.
Standing Orders:
- The Standing Orders list the expectations and focal points for all members of Legio Christi and tries to explain what and why we believe Legio Christi is necessary
Motto:
- Our motto, Nos Iam Vicimus, is our own creation, we have provided an explanation for it here.
- Its translation, “We Have Already Won”, is intended to echo the idea of “Death, where is thy sting?” and the philosophy that would follow.
Logo:
- Our logo is our own design, a gift from one of our longest members.
- The symbolism of the skull is a memento mori and the tertiary repetition is in honour of the Holy Trinity, in the service of Whom we hope to die.
- Also present is the crown, symbolising royalty. Christ, signed by the Chi Rho, is the King of the World and we are all His subjects. As such, we hope to die as loyal subjects and the crown in our logo is a reiteration of this.
- Lastly, there are the letters Alpha and Omega symbolising the beginning and the end.
Theology:
- Our primary beliefs are those found in the Apostles’ Creed and any that are shared by the Catholic and Orthodox Faiths
- We believe, further, that one must belong either to the Catholic Faith or to the Orthodox Faith (with each Faiths respective caveats) and that any other faith is false or otherwise incomplete to such an extent that it does not satisfy God’s Law.
Philosophy:
- Broadly speaking, we are governed by our faith in the matter, but we do make special mention of our stance on violence, that it is only acceptable when there is no other option. If your life or the lives of your family and friends are directly threatened, you may have to resort to violence.
- We further make mention of our stance on war, that a war must be Just (according to the Just War Theory of St. Augustine) before a man may enlist in fighting it.
Politics:
- Our politics are directed by our faith but this does not mean that each members’ political position is exactly the same as another member’s since the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Faith do have differing positions as well as moral grey areas (an example would be the death penalty, which the Catholic Church leaves as a decision for the state to make on a case by case basis and has always taught that Her members are not guilty of any sin by having to enact such a penalty).
- In keeping with the above, our socio-economic views align neither with capitalism nor with communism both of which place the state above God and demean man. Our position, if we must take one, is distributism.
- Being willing adherents to God’s Law, our politics are defined by our faith. Whilst our members will work within modern political constraints, they do so only because it cannot be avoided. In seeking to practice our faith in this modern world, we must take part in the politics of this world, which we find to be at ever-increasing odds with our beliefs.
Our social media uses:
- Predominately, most of our group activity is restricted to online chats, as such, we have a public presence on several social media available for public access.
How and where to Become a Legionary:
- Membership is, and always will be, free, although there will be some perks for members who choose to donate (private chat areas, merchandise, etc.)
- Simply ask in the group to see if there are any Legionaries in your local area who’d like to meet up and start from there!
- There is also a private chat server for trusted members, admission by invitation only.
Chapters:
- More details will become available on this shortly. For the time being, all questions may be directed to the heads of the group.
Supporting Legio Christi:
- Currently the best way to support Legio Christi is by building a community in your local church.
- For those who have the time, we are always looking for writers, editors, etc. to contribute to the website.
- We have also had members who have gone out of their way to provide us with art, badges, medals, and advertising media such as pamphlets.
