  • The Moment Belfast Fought Back

    The Moment Belfast Fought Back
    Jun 10 2026
    An attempted beheading in Belfast ended when an Irishman intervened with a hurley stick. For a brief moment, the scene became symbolic of something much larger: a people deciding whether their culture, their neighbors, and their civilization are still worth defending. https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/the-moment-belfast-fought-back

    Avoiding the Blackpill Temptation

    May 28 2026

  • Sterilizing the Poor with Despair

    Sterilizing the Poor with Despair
    Apr 21 2026
    There is an expanding worldview, even amongst Catholics, which sees children not as an end unto themselves but as a mere choice among many, a status symbol, an indicator of financial stability, or simply the means of happiness for unfulfilled couples.
