This is a very long commentary that has been in the process of being written since Do Not Be Agitated by the Fearmongers: Pray to Our Lady to See the World Clearly Through the Supernatural Eyes of the True Faith was last revised two days ago (yes, it was revised and expanded slightly with additional information, documentation, and commentary).

This particular commentary has been on my “to do” list since the “chief rabbinate” of Israel demanded “answers” concerning Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s general audience address of August 11, 2021, the Feast of Saint Philomena (and, universally, the Saints of Tiburtius and Susanna), and it is the goal of this very extensive commentary, which could have been even longer if I wanted to belabor various points, to provide some very direct answers about the counterfeit church of conciliarism’s absolute obsequiousness to those who hate the Holy Name of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and who labor mightily to eradicate the Holy Name and Our Divine Redeemer and King’s Most Holy Cross from public view.

Pope Saint Pius X spoke directly to Theodore Herzl, the founder of international Zionism, on January 25, 1904, the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle. He told Herzl that Judaism had been superseded by Catholicism. No matter the unfounded fears of Israel’s “chief rabbinate,” Jorge Mario Bergoglio believes no such thing, making him the sort of “Catholic” who is really no Catholic at all.

Finally, although the fact is referenced in the body of this commentary, I was remiss about six hours ago when posting this article in noting that today, Friday, September 3, 1961, the Feast of Saint Pius X and the First Friday of the Month of September, the month of the Holy Cross and the Sorrowful Mother, is the sixtieth anniversary of the priestly ordination of Father Louis J. Campbell, who has been the pastor of Saint Jude Shrine in Stafford, Texas, since 2001. 

Father Campbell's Sunday sermons, which he distributes to an ever-growing number of people across the world, are gems of Catholic theology, Scriptural commentary, and sources of great inspiration and edification for all those who hear them in person at Saint Jude Shrine or via live streaming as well as for those who read them when he sends them out each Saturday.

Please pray for Father Campbell on his sixtieth anniversary of priestly ordination and offer prayers of thanskgiving to Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for the faithful discharge of the true Sacraments in this time of apostasy and betrayal, begging Our Lady also to shower more and more of her graces upon him as he continues to work tirelessly in behalf of souls in the greater Houston, Texas, area and for those around the world who are privileged to watch him offer Holy Mass.

Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech. Annuntiate inter gentes gloria Domini in omnibus populis mirabilia eius quoniam magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis. Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui sancto sicut erat in principio et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

A blessed and happy anniversary to you, Father Campbell!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Pius X, pray for us.

Unlike his immediate predecessor, Pope Leo XIII, and each of his three successors (Popes Benedict XV, Pius XI, and Pius XII), the former Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto was not in the diplomatic service of the Holy See at any time during the nearly forty-five years of his priesthood prior to his rather remarkable election as the Successor of Saint Peter on August 4, 1903. He was not prone to accept the word of diplomats, and he did not suffer lies and misrepresentations easily.

The farm boy from Riese, Italy, who served as a pastor of souls in a rough-and-tumble Italian cow town, Tombolo, and then in Salzano before becoming Bishop of Mantua and the Cardinal Patriarch of Venice, was always close to Our Lady. This tender devotion to Our Lady, which he learned from his saintly mother, helped him to keep close to the sheep even when he was the Vicar of Christ on earth.

Thanks to the sign given him by the life and death of Little Nellie of Holy God, Pope Saint Pius X was the advocate of early First Communion (and early Confirmation) and of frequent Communions. It is no accident at all that the now retired Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI made no reference to the centenary of Pascendi Dominci Gregis on September 8, 2007. Ratzinger/Benedict made absolutely no reference on August 15, 2010, to the centenary of Pope Saint Pius X's Notre Charge Apostolique, which was a ringing condemnation of the false philosophy of the Sillon that is of the essence of conciliarism. He made no reference to the one hundredth anniversary of The Oath Against Modernism on September 1, 1910 (see Witness Against Benedict XVI: The Oath Against Modernism).

How could he?

He stands condemned by the very words in these documents issued by Pope Saint Pius X.

So does the man who ignored the one hundredth anniversary of Papa Sarto's death, Jorge Mario Bergolio, back on August 20, 2014.

The contrast between the Catholicism of Pope Saint Pius X, a defender of the Social Reign of Christ the King and the confessional Catholic civil state, and the conciliarism of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who has denounced "restorationists" as "Pelagian" and "hard-headed" Pharisees while defending "healthy laicism" and "religious liberty" and the "separation of Church and State, could not be more clear.

Here is the Collect for today's feast in the Immemorial Mass of Tradition:

"O God, who for the defense of the Catholic Faith and the restoration of all things in Christ didst fill Saint Pius, Supreme Pontiff, with heavenly wisdom and apostolic courage: grant in Thy loving kindness that by following his teachings and examples we may attain eternal rewards. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, forever and ever. Amen."

Pope Saint Pius X opposed Modernism.

So must we as we refuse any "communion" at all with conciliarism or its false shepherds who are at war with the Catholic Faith.

A new commentary that makes reference to Pope Saint Pius X will be published in about fifteen minutes.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Pius X, pray for us!

This is a revised and enlarged reflection on Saint Stephen, King of Hungary, who was zealous to convert pagans to the true Faith and thus establish the peace and justice of Christ the King in his land. He is yet another contrast to concilairism's false doctrines of "religious liberty" and "separation of Church and State."

An original article will be published tomorrow morning along with a republished  reflection on Pope Saint Pius X. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Stephen of Hungary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Pius X, pray for us.

Those of you who have read each of the twelve articles comprising the “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus series (part one, part two, 

This is a revised and enlarged version of my reflection on the life of Saint Rose of Lima, a member of the Third Order of Penance of the Order of Preachers of Saint Dominic de Guzman.

Among many other works in her devout life of prayer and austere penances, Saint Rose, who lived among a cluster of saints in Lima, Peru, exhorted the people of Lima to gather in their churches and pray their Rosaries to turn back a pending invasion of their city by a fleet of those virulent anti-Catholics, the Dutch Calvinists. Those hideous people with their diabolical beliefs that have nothing at all to do with Christianity turned back as a result of the Rosaries that were prayed to repel them in their designs to invade Lima and to sack Catholic churches and to desecrated the Most Blessed Sacrament images of the Mother of God.

May we pray to Saint Rose of Lima so that we will remain faithful to the daily recitation of Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary as the powerful weapon, after Holy Mass itself, to turn back the enemies of Christ the King in the world and in the counterfeit church of conciliarism.

This long commentary, which could have named this long commentary, “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part 13" even though I ended that series with part twelve nearly four months ago now, has been revised and expanded on Saturday, August 28, 2021, the Feast of Saint Augustine of Hippo and the Commemoration of Saint Hermes and of Our Lady Health of the Sick.  Thus, I have chosen a new title to deal with the same subject and in the same depth as done between March of 2020 and May of 2021.

While I realize full well that most of the few people who access this site do not have the time to read such long studies, my goal is to provide information for those who are interesting in studying it by attempting to cast the events of our times in their true supernatural framework as occurring with the Providence of God.

The Donations page has been updated. The need is very urgent for non-tax-deductible financial gifts. Thank you.

An original article, Revised and Expanded: Do Not Be Agitated by the Fearmongers: Pray to Our Lady to See the World Clearly Through the Supernatural Eyes of the True Faith, was published yesterday at the same time that the the Donations page was updated. The need is very urgent for non-tax-deductible financial gifts. Thank you.

Today, Tuesday, Wednesday, August 25, 2021, is the Feast of Saint Louis IX, King of France, that great exemplar of the Social Reign of Christ the King. Saint Louis was taught by his holy mother, Blessed Blanche of Castile, to prefer death rather to commit a deliberate Mortal Sin. He heard two Masses a day and was a member of the Third Order of Saint Francis, whose patron saint he remains to this day.

Saint Louis strove to rule according to the Mind of Christ the King as He had deposited It exclusively in the Catholic Church, recognizing that he, Louis IX, would have to answer to Christ the King at the moment of his own Particular Judgment for how he ruled his subjects. His letter to his son Philip is a succinct summary of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. It is a model for how everyone in public life should conduct himself in order to please Christ the King as the devoted client of Our Lady, she who is our Immaculate Queen.

Work on the next original commentary is about seventy-five percent complete. Although it is my hope to complete it today for posting by tomorrow, Thursday, August 26, 2021, it is possible, given the nature of the conclusion that is going to require a good deal of work, that the commentary may not appear until Friday, August 27, 2021. 

In the meantime, of course, please purchase (if you have not done so already) and also spread the work about G.I.R.M. Warfare: The Conciliar Church's Unremitting Warfare Against Catholic Faith and Worship, which received a favorable review online on Monday, August 23, 2021, the Feast of Saint Philip Benizi. 

Vivat Christus Rex!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Louis IX, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to which the month of August is devoted, that heart that was pierced with Seven Swords of Sorrow during the Life of her Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was formed out of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These twin hearts of matchless love suffered as one and they beat as one while on earth and they have beat as one in Heaven since Our Lady was Assumed into Heaven body and soul after her death.

Our Lady's Immaculate Heart was unstained by Original Sin or Actual Sins. The Immaculate Heart of the Mother of God, therefore, was capable of a purity of love of God and of her fellow men that is almost indescribable. Our Lady's Most Pure, Most Holy Heart despises the sins that caused her Divine Son to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during His Passion and Death but at the same time is full of a perfect and completely pure maternal compassion for erring sinners such as you and me.

Our Lord, showing us His infinite compassion for us erring sinners, has sent us His Most Blessed Mother to provide us with her maternal assistance to get home to Heaven as members of His true Church founded upon the Rock of Peter, the Pope.

We have been given the Rosary, the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel, the Miraculous Medal, and the Green Scapular through her loving hands, through which flow the graces won for us by the shedding of Our Lord's Most Precious Blood on the wood of the Holy Cross.

Her apparition to Juan Diego and the miraculous image of herself she left on his tilma helped to convert millions of Indians to the true Faith in the Americas.

Our Lady ratified Pope Pius IX's solemn proclamation of her Immaculate Conception by proclaiming herself to Saint Bernadette Soubirous to be the Immaculate Conception on March 25, 1858. And Our Lady's appearance in the Cova da Iria from May 13, 1917, to October 13, 1917, gave us Heaven's Peace Plan, one that runs through her Immaculate Heart.

We must endeavor at all times to fulfill, as far as we are able in this time of apostasy and betrayal, Our Lady's Fatima Message in our own lives, especially by praying as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit and by living penitentially as the consecrated slaves of her Divine Son through her own Immaculate Heart.

The era of apostasy and betrayal will end when the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is made manifest. We can play our roles, small though they may be, in helping to bring about this triumph.

As a reminder, G.I.R.M. Warfare: The Conciliar Church's Unremitting Warfare Against Catholic Faith and Worship, was published a week ago, and the next original article to appear on this site is being written but may not be posted until Tuesday.

Remember also that non-tax-deductible gifts are always needed and would be highly appreciated at this time. Thank you.

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

Saints Timothy, Hippolytus, and Symphorian, pray for us.
