Bozell and a accumulation of 230 rallied and met at St. Stephen Martyr Abbey for a "Funeral Mass for The Holy Innocents" acclaimed by four priests, including an African American, a Chinese, and a Hispanic. The beef included the Spanish accumulation "Los Hijos del Trueno" (the Sons of Thunder), who dressed in biscuit and red berets (reminiscent of the Carlists, whom Bozell came to adore while in Spain), wore Rosaries about their necks and agitated apostolic flags.
