Chivalry is an historic institution - social and religious - within which the abilities and strengths of the military condition are united with the Christian virtues, in the mystique and ethic of Miles Christi - Soldiers of Christ.
The noble virtues of chivalry are: strength, a high personal code of behavior, respect for justice, largeness of heart, honor, mastery of self, loyalty, faithfulness, commitment to vows, spirit of sacrifice and piety; added to this is the spirituality of St. Dominic that requires us also to contemplate, propagate and defend the Truth.
