TFP Holds Conference over March for Life Weekend.

TFP Student Action held a University Student Conference starting Saturday January 19th and culminating on Tuesday January 22nd with the March for Life in Washington D.C. Over the weekend, around 20 students, from California to New York, and even England, listened to talks dealing with the return of Radical Atheism, the Importance of being in the Public Square and the 2200 Rosary Rallies that TFP's 'America Needs Fatima' campaign coordinated on October 13th. There was, also, a slide show illustrating TFP Student Action's presence at Fort Benning, Georgia for God Bless Fort Benning Day.

However, the event would not be nearly as noteworthy without the presence of His Imperial and Royal Highness, Prince Bertrand of Orleans Braganca. Prince Bertrand is of the Imperial House in Brazil and is the brother of Prince Luiz, who, if Brazil was still a Monarchy, would be the acting Emperor. His Highness gave a closing speech at Sunday night's Dinner convoking the participants of the conference to practice the virtue of purity with a story, exuberantly told by His Highness, about the great Godfrey of Bullion and the Crusades.

The Conference climaxed on Tuesday the 22nd with the March for Life in Washington D.C. We were on the road by 8:45 and were there by 11:30. The street transformed into one massive throng of people as we waited for the march up Constitution Avenue to the Supreme Court Building. As the multitude coalesced, the great red banners of the TFP made their way to the front of the line, towering above the asphalt, as both marchers and pedestrians looked up in awe.
There was an estimated 200,000 people in attendance, the majority being Catholic.
