Note: Today's other [original article, which deals with Father Carlos Urrutigoity and "Bishop" Rogelio Livieres's defense of this moral predator, is linked below this introduction to the reflection on Saint Alphonsus de Liguori.]

Today is the Feast of the great Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, the Patron of Moral Theologians. It was over six years ago now that I recorded each of the Sunday sermons of Saint Alphonsus for the "Save Thy Souls" section of Traditional Catholic Sermons.org. It was a very sobering experience as I recognized that Saint Alphonsus was speaking directly to me, condemning my sins and my lukewarmness. Ouch. He certainly gave me what for, and I am grateful that he did so.

Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, the founder of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (the Redemptorists), was particularly emphatic in teaching us that we must avoid sins of human respect. That is, we can show no partiality or favoritism to those in power if they are doing things that put the temporal or, more important, the eternal welfare into jeopardy. This applies to the likes of Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis, who blasphemes God on a regular basis, and to most of his "bishops," men who believe that the sheep are their enemies and that they can stonewall and intimidate the sheep into remaining silent about real and documented abuses of power and real and documented violations of the integrity of the Holy Faith:
" And when there is question of the divine honour, we should not be frightened by the dignity of the man who offends God; let us say to him openly: This is sinful; it cannot be done. Let us imitate the Baptist, who reproved King Herod for living his brother's wife and said to him: 'It is not lawful for thee to have her'--Matt., xiv. 4. Men indeed shall regard us as fools, and turn us into derision; but, on the day of judgment they shall acknowledge that they have been foolish, and we have shall have the glory of being numbered among the saints. They shall say: 'These are they whom we had some time in derision. . . . . We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without honour. Behold how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among the saints'--Wis., v. 3, 4, 5. (Sixth Sunday After Easter: On Human Respect.)

Although I did not think that I would be writing a new article for some weeks to come, at least until Jorge Mario Bergoglio's trip to South Korea later this month, circumstances necessitate revisiting an article posted in June in order to adapt it to a fast-breaking set of circumstances concerning the well-known moral predator by the name of Father Carlos Urrutigoity. [Please note: Attorney James Bendell sent me a very important correction to explain that at no point, whether as a minor or as an adult, did his client ever consent to the acts committed upon him by Father Carlos Urrutigoity and by Father Eric Ensey. There were at least three or four other such who were also victims of Father Urrutigoity who at no time ever gave their consent to what was done to them, not that it would made any difference to determine the absolute lack of fitness of either to serve in priestly ministry.]

The current article is a new composition, although its introductory part remains the same as that earlier article. In light of the conciliar Vatican's investigation into the conciliar "bishop" of the Diocese of Ciudad del Este in Paraguay, Rogelio Livires, who is a member of Opus Dei, and the suspension of all presbyteral installations there, it it is time to revise the commentary from June and to expand it. Links to other relevant material will be found within the text below. This is a huge story now as Livieres, who believes Urrutigoity to be innocent of all charges against him, a belief that is stunningly erroneous, has revealed that it was none other than Joseph "Cardinal" Ratzinger who personally recommended Urrutiugoity to him in April of 2005, days before Ratzinger's "promotion" to become the "Petrine Minister" of the counterfeit church of conciliarism. Read more? Be aware, however, that this article contains very graphic content and should be avoided by those who would prefer not to read such terrible things.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

This article had been completed at a reasonable hour last evening. Alas, I discovered formatting problems that occur about halfway through the text that defy my meager ability to correct them. Without my having done anything consciously, the text about halfway through is italicized and even my own text has been indented. The citations have been double-indented. I cannot correct this. I apologize. I am going to ask the reader who revamped this site for to find out what is going on as I cannot figure it out at closing in on 1:00 a.m. Please accept my apologies for a problem that was not repaired until mid-morning today! Everything appears to be fine now, although some links need to be restored later. Thank you for your patience!

Jorge Mario Bergoglio's visit to his evangelical "brother," Giovanni Trettino, is the subject of the conclusion of what turned out to be a four-part series. Those who do not want to see the truth of our ecclesiastical situation at this time no longer have any excuses before God for not rejecting conciliarism and its false officials. The Catholic Church can never be the author of error of any kind. It is without any kind of precedent for there to be a succession of six legitimate Successors of Saint Peter who engage in brazen acts of apostasy as they preach heresy and reaffirm adherents of false religions in their false beliefs, no less apologize for the work of the Catholic Church over the centuries to seek their conversion.

As much other work occupies my time now, commentaries will not appear very regularly. Republished articles will be highlighted. There will be updates to this front page now and again to offer brief comments on certain developments. It is my hope that the work that I am doing at present will continue to be of profit to those who are exposed to it. I will let you know when such work is completed and available for your reading.

Finally, not even the placement of the PayPal button on each page of this site has caught the attention of more of those who access these articles. This is within the Providence of God. Non-tax-deductible financial gifts are always welcome, of course, and this is a particularly propitious time to send such gifts. Thank you.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Saint Peter, pray for us.

Saint Paul, pray for us.

The Holy Machabees, pray for us.

Rather than rush to print with a commentary based on reports on what Jorge Mario Bergoglio said in his "private" meeting with Pentecostalists on Monday July 28, 2014, the Feast of Saints Nazarius, Celsus and Popes Innocent and Victor, I decided to wait for what I knew the Vatican would release before too terribly long, an official transcript of the supposedly "private" meeting with Giovanni Trettino and his gang of Protestant "evangelicals" who claim to have that private pipeline to God the Holy Ghost. My commentary is being written. It will be direct and to the point, although longtime readers will see quotations that they have seen hundreds of times before. Bergoglio demonstrates that he feels at home with his Pentecostalist "brothers" because he has the same kind of false ecclesiology that they have, all of his protestations about being a "son of the Church" to the contrary notwithstanding. Check tomorrow for the completed commentary, which will be the last for a while as other writing is taking precedence over the work of this site for reasons explained several times in the past month.

Today is the Feast of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus. Saint Ignatius laid down his military armor in front of an image of Our Lady in the Benedictine monastery in Montserrat, Spain, on the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25, 1522, becoming a soldier in the army of Christ the King. Saint Ignatius of Loyola was always in the "company of Jesus," always seeking to advance the cause of the Holy Faith.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola attracted men of character and determination of purpose right from the beginning, men who were serious about retarding the advances of the Protestant Revolution and seeking the conversion of pagans in far away lands. The devil hated this good work of the Society of Jesus, which he why he sought to corrupt the sons of Saint Ignatius in the Twentieth Century by means of the various propositions of Modernism. The most corrupt of them all now, of course, is Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

We need to pray to Saint Ignatius and his company of Jesuit saints in Heaven, each of whom was so tenderly devoted to the Mother of God, to help us to be as brave and faithful and gallant as they were in defending the Sacred Honor of Christ the King and of Mary our Immaculate Queen.

Our Lady of the Society of Jesus, pray for us.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us.

Jorge has given another interview. This is simply a brief effort to review a few of this naturalist's "tips for a happy life."

What happened to the public apology that Jorge Mario Bergoglio was supposed to make yesterday, Saturday, July 26, 2014, the Feast of Saint Anne, the Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, when he visited Caserta, Italy?

What began as a two-part series has now turned into a three-part series, partly as a result of the constraints of time and partly as a result of intervening events.

Today's installment focuses on how the spirit of apostasy in the counterfeit church of conciliarism is so widely accepted by most Catholics that they nod their heads up and down in complete agreement when they see supposed "news" that "Pope Francis" wants to "reform the papacy," something that he has been trying do ever since his "election" to head his false church four hundred ninety-nine days ago and that his two immediate predecessors, "Saint John Paul II" and Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, had endeavored in their own ways to advance, both theoretically and practically. This is why Jorge Mario Bergoglio felt a close kinship to the late "bishop" Tony Palmer as he, Bergoglio, believed that there was room for a "brother bishop" in the "vineyard of the Lord."

Apostasy has been accepted increments. The tragic part about this is so few see it and throw stones at those who point it out to them. This is just part of the suffering that we must endure during this time of chastisement, which ours sins very richly deserve.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Another late-night/early-morning posting. This will be brief.

Catholics and other Christians have been forced to flee from Mosul, Iraq, after they were given a "convert, pay or die" ultimatum by those peace-loving disciples of Mohammed, the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. So many other Catholics have faced similar ultimata throughout the course of the past nearly two thousand years, including Catholics here in North America as the British expelled Acadians from Nova Scotia who refused to apostatize in order to save their lands and live in their beloved Acadia.

What does Jorge have to say about all of this?

Work for "dialogue and reconciliation."

ISIS is sure interested in that?

So are those peace-loving friends of "dialogue and reconciliation" in Israel, right?

Part two will appear in a few days.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Although much is going on in the madness of the world of Modernity and the world of Modernism, both of which are collapsing before our very eyes (see "Monsters of Modernism, Monsters of Modernity" below), my time has been spent principally on completing the insertion of corrections into the text of volume one of "Conversion in Reverse: How the Ethos Americanism Converted Catholics and Contributed to the Rise of Conciliarism," which should be ready for purchase as a print-on-demand book by the end of this coming week. Two other book projects should appear shortly thereafter before writing resumes on the second and third volumes on "Conversion in Reverse."

Today's featured article was published over three months ago at the New Christ or Chaos website. It is relevant once again as the chief agent for indemnifying crimes of state in the United States of America, Attorney General Eric Holder, once again blamed "racism" for the motivating factor behind all opposition to his statist superior, Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro, and to himself. There is really nothing more to say on this despicable exercise in demagoguery than what was written three months ago, which is why it is presented anew to the vast multitudes in cyberspace.

The world is falling apart before our very eyes.

Security at the border between the United States of American and Mexico no longer exist. The thousands who are entering illegally are being welcomed by the current administration, something that was explained in Thursday's late-afternoon posting. The conciliar "bishops," who rarely say anything about the daily slaughter of the preborn by chemical and surgical means and are positively supportive of the agenda of the homosexual collective, are in complete sympathy with the administration of Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro and its lawless disregard for the Natural Law right of a nation to maintain its sovereignty and its duty to assure an orderly process of immigration.

War is raging in Gaza and in Ukraine, where Russian separatists are preventing recovery teams from removing the bodies killed from the Maylasia Airline plane that was shot down with a surface--to-air missile three days ago and are actually celebrating the fact that the plane was shot down. So much for the conversion of Russia (a protracted study on the situation in Ukraine was published two months ago: "American Pots and Russian Kettles).

Through it all, though, the daily slaughter of the preborn continues and Jorge Mario Bergoglio's Vatican Radio even goes so far as to say that those steeped in sins of unnatural vice do not need to "convert," that they are perfectly permitted to identify themselves by their perverse inclinations.

Those who do not want to see that we are in living in the Great Apostasy can just go on being immersed merrily in worldliness and the blithe, irresponsible belief that one can simply ignore the heresies of the conciliar "popes" and live at peace as Catholics in "good standing" in the conciliar structures, are in need of our prayers.

Christ the King is trying to get our attention. Things cannot get much clearer, can they?

There should be a new article by tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Jerome Emiliani, pray for us.

Saint Margaret, Virgin and Martyr, pray for us.

This article was almost ready to be published last night when connectivity with the internet was lost. Service was not restored until this morning, by which time some of the text for this new article had disappeared, Well, at least that prepared me to lose two more substantial blocks of text this afternoon, forcing rewrite after rewrite of what had been written. (And, yes, I had saved the text as I did the work!) Penance is better than ever in 2014.

The wonderful agency of the "civilization of love" known as the Israeli Defense Forces have invaded Gaza once again. Another Malayisan air liner has crashed, this time apparently by a surface to air missile strike in eastern Ukraine. Perversity is being celebrated widely all across the world and even within the walls of the Occupied Vatican on the West Side of the Tiber River.

Through it all, of course, Jorge Mario Bergoglio smiles and continues to condemn believing Catholics who try to maintain the integrity of the Holy Faith despite their own sins and failings.

We live in a time of monsters of Modernism and monsters of Modernity.

May God have mercy on us all!

Our Lady of Humility, pray for us.

Saint Alexius, pray for us.
