The Fidei et Virtuti Journal

Named after the famous Fidei et Virtuti "Faith and Courage" medal. Also called the Mentana Cross, 

this medal was awarded to all Papal Soldiers who participated in the 1867 campaign in defense of the Papal States. Their victory culminated with the defeat of Garibaldi and his Red Shirt army at the Battle of Mentana on November 3, 1867.

​

The journal will feature original articles on the Papal Zouaves, translated articles from other publications, out-of-print articles, and more!

​

The journal will release on a semi-annual basis, with the first issue publishing on February 22. The feast of the Chair of St. Peter! The journal will be distributed digitally and exclusively to P.Z.I. members.

For the Repose of the Souls of the Papal Zouaves

Each member of P.Z.I. will have a dedicated Papal Zouave assigned to pray for the repose of his soul. The Papal Zouaves courageously fought to defend the Pope and uphold our Catholic faith. It is not only fitting to honor their sacrifice through prayer but also our sacred duty as Catholics to pray for the faithfully departed. Through our membership, we hope to encourage and facilitate prayers for these Catholic heroes.

For the Cause of Joseph-Louis Guérin

Joseph-Louis Guérin is the closest Papal Zouave to reach sainthood. Several miraculous healings were attributed to his intercession during the late 19th century. His home diocese of Nantes put together a packet to promote his cause at the request of Bl. Pope Pius IX. Unfortunately, it has remained dormant since the early 20th century. We hope to encourage private devotion to Joseph-Louis Guérin and grow his cultus.

​

To help facilitate this, each member will receive Joseph-Louis Guérin prayer cards.*

*Prayer cards shipping with other non-book perks Q1 2025.
