See this online text:

  • “Canadian Catholic Chaplains in the Great War, 1914-1918″, by Major the Very Rev. J. R. O’ Gorman, J.C.D., CCHA Report 7 (1939-40), pp. 71-83. Available in pdf format (on this page) of the Canadian Catholic Historical Association.

One may also see:

  • “A Light in the Darkness: The Interaction between Catholicism and World War I”, by Maggie Brennan, The Purdue Historian 6, 1 (2013): pp. 14-33. Available in pdf format (on this page) at The Purdue Historian. [N.B., This text focuses mainly on the effect of the conscription of clergy on the Catholic Church in France.]
  • “Roman Catholic Army Chaplains During the First World War: Roles, Experiences and Dilemmas”, by Martin Purdy (Masteral Thesis at the University of Central Lancashire) (January 2012). Available in pdf format at the University of Central Lancashire.
    • [N.B., Although this text does not appear to have been written by a Catholic Christian, it is useful for containing a detailed study of Catholic chaplains in the British Army as a group during the War of Nations. Notably, it attributed the remarkable willingness of Catholic chaplains to risk death at the front lines to their awareness of and response to the critical importance of the sacraments for the salvation of the soldiers they served.]

On the feast of Saint Martin of Tours in the Roman Rite; and in commemoration of the end of the First World War (Armistice or Remembrance Day in Commonwealth countries) and Veterans Day in the United States.

Almighty Father, You made the illustrious Society begun by St. Ignatius of Loyola a mighty bulwark of the one true Church of Your Son. Have mercy on its members today, lest they fall wholly away from the Faith, formally or materially, through intellectual pride, love of novelty, or desire for worldly praise. Restore the Order to the ideal of its holy Founder, that the name ‘Jesuit’ may again reliably signify a humble servant and defender of truth. In the Most Holy Name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

“[T]he reason he first said ‘The scribes and pharisees sit upon the chair of Moses’ was so that what he then added, viz., ‘Do everything and observe everything they tell you,’ might be understood to apply to those things which pertain to that chair. However, things which are contrary to the faith or to good morals do not pertain to that chair.” (St. Thomas Aquinas, Quodlibet 3.4.2)
