“When not serving in the Harry Thompson Center or constructing homes, these Friars could be found taking in all the sights and experiences that the city had to offer. Highlights of these side trips include the Whitney Plantation, Joan of Arc Parade, the Katrina National Memorial Museum, and the Studio Be Art Gallery. “

“Joan was not a modern-day, flag-waving nationalist. The phrase “my country, right or wrong” would have been anathema to her.”
Years ago we had a panel at our Salon de Jeanne d’Arc annual Joan of Arc conference about this very subject and it’s good to continue to revisit this topic as the world gets more frayed. Poor Joan has been used in so very many ways as a symbol for whatever people see or want to use her for. Our parade is based on history and it’s important to keep true history alive— along with the true beauty!
Joan of Arc has been a saint for 100 years. Her exploitation continues.

St. Joan was obviously a patriot, and there is nothing about true patriotism that is contrary to faith. I think it’s hard for us to understand what politics without “democracy” was like.
I think what’s confusing is that “supporting the nation” generally means “the people” traditionally, rather than how we perceive it today to mean supporting one leader or another. Joan loved her people, the French people. God didn’t ask this of her strictly for love of one king, or one type of government. It was for the liberation of the French people from war, occupation, and horror.
It’s National Appreciate A Dragon Day! What would Saint Margaret, one of Joan’s voices, say??!!
