Today, Monday, January 31, 2022, is the feast of the great Saint John Bosco, to whom we are very devoted. This is a revised reflection on an extraordinary priest who had a zeal for the salvation of souls in his youth, a zeal that would last until he died on this date in 1888, one hundred twenty-eight years ago.

Saint John Bosco stands a rebuke to everything that manner in which the conciliar revolutionaries refuse to seek converts to what they think is the Catholic Church and the manner in which they reaffirm unrepentant sinners in lives that could lead them to Hell for all eternity if they do not go to Confession and amend their lives. This brief reflection, written about nine years ago now, is an effort to capture the spirit of this magnificent teacher of the young, mystic and zealous apostle of souls.

Although it has taken a while, "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part sixteen," was published a few minutes before the posting of this revised reflection.  

Vivat Christus Rex! Viva Cristo Rey! 

Our Lady, Help of Christians, pray for us.

Saint John Bosco, pray for us.

Saint Dominic Savio, pray for us.

Saint Maria Domenica Mazzarello, pray for us.

Although I will write a more detailed introduction later today, Monday, January 31, 2022, here is what you have all been waiting for (I am poking fun at myself, you understand): “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part sixteen.”

Our Lady, Help of Christians, pray for us.

Saint John Bosco, pray for us.

Saint Maria Domenica Mazzarello, pray for us.

Today, Saturday, January 29, 2022, is the Feast of Saint Francis de Sales.

I am hereby republishing a brief and woefully indequate account of the Apostle of Charity and zealous foe of Calvinism. 

Part sixteen of "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus" is progressing nicely. It is my hope to finish it in time for posting on Sunday, January 30, 2022, but it is more likely that the protracted commentary will be published on the Feast of Saint John Bosco, Monday, January 31, 2022.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Francis de Sales, pray for us.

Although the forty-ninth anniversary of the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States of America in the cases of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton was on Saturday, January 22, 2022, the Feast of Saints Vincent and Anastasius, this revised and much expanded commentary is designed to remind the readers of this site that abortion-on-demand did not start with Roe v. Wade and that it will end if this unjust decision is reversed in five months.

The slow but steady march to the surgical execution of children under the cover of the civil law has antecedent roots dating back to certain elements of the Renaissance that set the stage for the Protestant Revolution and the susbequent rise of the welter of Judeo-Masonic political ideologies that have produced the triumph of religious indifferentism and thus of practical atheism as the lowest common denominators in social life.

Part sixteen of "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus" is being written but may not appear until Sunday, January 30, 2022, the Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany. Thank you for your patience.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Paul, pray for us.

Saint Peter, pray for us.

Saint Polycarp, pray for us.

Today's offering a republished reflection on the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle.

My annual commentary on the anniversary of the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States of America in the cases of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, January 22, 1973, has undergone an enlargement with substantial revisions. It should be published sometime by Thursday, January 26, 2023, the Feast of Saint Polycarp. 

Work on part six of "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus" has been consuming my time as well. I imagine that it will not be until this weekend before the article is ready to be published. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Paul, pray for us.

Saint Peter, pray for us.

A news report of a few days ago contained the absolute non-news that Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI had presided over a meeting the chancery office of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising on January 15, 1980, during his masquerade as the “archbishop” of that historic archdiocese during which he approved of the transfer of a known pederast, Father Peter Hullermann. The then “Cardinal” Ratzinger was as impassive about clerical abuse then as he has always been about the horror of any kind of personal sin, including the sins of heresy for which he is so notorious.

This is not news as this news was known in March of 2010, something that two articles from 2010 included in this posting make clear. As one who did the original reporting in The Wanderer in 1997 (Roman Catholic Faithful Accuses Bishop Ryan of Harassment) and 1998 (Witnesses Emerge in Bishop Ryan Case) on the scandalous behavior of the late “Bishop” Daniel Leo Ryan, what was interesting about the fallout of the Ratzinger story in 2010 was some of the very people who were justifiably critical of Ryan and then the likes of Bernard Law in 2002 rose to the defense of Joseph Alois Ratzinger twelve years ago, showing how Summorum Pontificum blinded many otherwise rational Catholics into either defending their “man” in situations such as the Hullermann case or, more frequently, turning a blind eye and keeping mute about their “man’s serial violations of the First and Second Commandments.

A new commentary, one focusing on the forty-ninth anniversary of the dreadful decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States of America in the cases of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, January 22, 1973, should appear by Monday, January 24, the Feast of Saint Timothy. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Agnes, pray for us.

Saints Vincent and Anastasius, pray for us.

Saint Raymund of Pennafort, O.P., pray for us.

Saint Emerentiana, pary for us.

The late President Ronald Wilson Reagan once called then United States Senator Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.. a "smooth but pure demagogue." As one secular commentator noted recently, Biden is no longer "smooth" but he will forever remain a demagogue.

Then again, demagoguery and totalitarianism are the natural end results of nautralism. Naturally.

Another original article will appear in a few days as physical strength permits during my continued recovery from the surgery on December 15, 2021, to repair my fractured right hip. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Those who read yesterday's commentary will undestand the title of this new commentary, which is about Jorge Mario Bergoglio's demotion of Giacomo Morandi, the secretary of the so-called Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, (CDF) because the latter is said to be the one who authored a negative reply to a dubium concerning the "blessing" of "unions" between those steeped in sins of perversity that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.

The irony of this is that Bergoglio himself approved the the CDF's negative reply to such "blessings" before he began to undermine it almost immediately after it was issued publicly ten months ago. Bergoglio is indeed a mean, ugly schnook who takes no prisoners, a man who can, quite correctly, denounce "cancel culture" one day while he is simultaneously cancelling a man who, though he used conciliarspeak, more or less called sin by its proper name. What a piece of work that octagenarian revolutionary is. 

The next commentary will focus principally on the demagogic speech delivered by President in Name Only Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., in Atlanta, Georgia, about "saving democracy" by the means of ensuring the same kind of chicanery that was used by means of "consent agreements" in 2020. Translation: "Democracy" means not letting those who are opposed to the statist/globalist agenda win elections because anyone and everyone who opposes this "revealed" agenda is a racist who must be denounced for merely opposing rhetorically ideas that are false, unconstitutional, and advances the institutionalization of one party rule replete with appartchiks who equate criticism of them as an exercise in "domestic terrorism" that must be monitored constantly,

As has been noted on so many hundreds upon hundreds of commentaries on this site, this is only the logical result of a governmental system founded on false, anti-Incarnational and Pelagian principles. I have said this over and over, and I will say it yet again in the next commentary, which may take up to four or five days to complete. 

Kyrie eleison!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Although I do not seek out news from the Vatican in its conciliar captivity, my "smart phone" sends me stories now and again that prompt me to do what I would prefer not to almost as I would prefer never to break a hip again as I did four weeks ago now: namely, to write yet again about Jorge Mario Bergoglio, whose speech to the diplomatic corps on Monday, January 10, 2022, contained some remarkable hypocrisy about "cancel culture" and showed Bergoglio to be a complete creature of the pharamaceutical-elitist-globalist disinformation campaign about the gene therapy jabs.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

The motormouth from Argentina just won’t quit his gratuitous attacks on believing Catholics, saving a bit of space in his “homily” for the Feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord Jesus Christ on Thursday, January 6, 2022, to do so for what seems like the fortieth time in the past month ago.

Yet it is, of course, that no one is more “closed-in-on-himself” or “self-referential” as the rigid octogenarian apostate dressed up in white to look like a “pope.”

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
