"Let’s move all our monuments to chivalry into mean little cul-de-sacs"

On this feast day of God’s greatest attribute, His Divine Mercy, let us also take stock of how a noble part of man – his chivalry – is faring in our brave new progressive world. 

A master geographer explains how Washington DC has dealt with a monument to the self-sacrifice of the male passengers of the Titanic:

         
TO THE BRAVE MEN
WHO PERISHED
IN THE WRECK
OF THE TITANIC
APRIL 15 1912
THEY GAVE THEIR
LIVES THAT WOMEN
AND CHILDREN
MIGHT BE SAVED
ERECTED BY THE
WOMEN OF AMERICA

TO THE YOUNG AND THE OLD
THE RICH AND THE POOR
THE IGNORANT AND THE LEARNED
ALL
WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES NOBLY
TO SAVE WOMEN AND CHILDREN
