The Story Behind the Shirt
The Church on earth has never been at peace, and was never meant to be. Ecclesia Militans — the Church Militant: the ancient name for every baptized soul still on the field, as distinct from the Church Suffering being purified and the Church Triumphant already crowned. If you are breathing, you are enlisted — and the fight is "not against flesh and blood" (Ephesians 6:12).
On the back: the crowned shield bearing the Cross, two crusader standards crossed behind it, in full sunburst over the title in cathedral letterpress. On the chest: the original 1765 A Co. mark. Browse all Catholic t-shirts made in America.
