The new president of my baccalaureate alma mater, Saint John’s University, Jamaica, Queens, New York, “Father” Brian Shanley, O.P., is determined to paint the university from which I received my Bachelor of Arts degree on January 31, 1973, and at which taught on an adjunct basis off and on between 1982 and 1991, with a full coat of lavender paint. Saint John’s University has gone from having its athletic teams named “Redmen” to “Red Storm,” and its open embrace of apostasy in the past fifty-four years since the end of its infamous one-year faculty strike that resulted in the university’s then president, Father Joseph Cahill, C.M., losing his ability to control the hiring process so as to assure the doctrinal fidelity of the university’s faculty, to full blown support for perversity.

Perhaps the new nickname for the athletic teams at Saint John’s University should be “Lavenderpeopleinsearchofdestroyingalloppositiontosodomy.”

May God have mercy on us all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Antoninus, O.P., pray for us.

Each of us fights a daily battle against the forces of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Saint Paul noted this in his Epistle to the Ephesians:

As this commentary has undergone some revisions and expansions since its publication on April 25, 2021, I am republishing in its final form separately. A volunteer found several typographical errors that had to be corrected. Additionally, I added more information and provided several very useful links, among which are the following: Medical Science  Under Dictatorship and The Nuremburg Doctors' Trial and Modern Medicine's Panic Promotion of the FDA (EEUA) Covid-19 Vaccines. One who has read this commentary can go directly to these links to find a very accurate description of what is facing us today on the natural level. (The original article has been revised and expanded with the material provided herein. However, I wanted to make a distinction of postings for the sake of those who have not accessed the article thus far and/or for the sake of those who want to re-read it.)

To be clear, as noted in the body of this commentary, there is a virus, which, as more and more evidence documents what was reported in Christian Order in February of last year and then reprinted in part two of this series thirteen months ago, namely, that the CCP/Wuhan/China/Chinese/Covid-19/Coronavirus originated as part of a “gain of function” research funded, at least in part, by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in Wuhan, China. The Red Chinese were developing a biological weapon, and the virus escaped from the biosafety laboratory in Wuhan before it had been fully weaponized. Still and all, however, those who are pre-existing conditions (co-morbidities) or who do not seek sound and truly competent medical treatment once symptoms occur are at risk of dying. Even with that, though, only 0.15% of those infected have died.

The fear engendered by the plandemic has been such that there are millions of lemmings who will wear the stupid face masks for the rest of their lives and who will obey the medical “experts.” The virus and the reaction to it is a chastisement for our sins, which is why we had better remember that sin is more deadly than any virus, including the coronavirus.

This revised and expanded commentary is the last that I will write on this matter as there is no further need to repeat and reiterate documented facts nor to provide any more supernatural perspective than I have attempted to provide in this series.

The next original article is being written and is nearing completion. However, I believe that it is more prudent to finish it tomorrow, the Feast of the Apparition of Saint Michael the Archangel, Saturday, May 8, 2021, than to stay up late again as there have been many things in the past week or so that have required me to keep very long hours. Thank you for your understanding.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us and protect us.

Saint Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr, pray for us.

This is a revised and expanded reflection in honor of the saint whose feast is celebrated today, May 5, 2021, Pope Saint Pius X.

A new article should appear by tomorrow, the Feast of Saint John at the Latin Gate.

Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Pius V, pray for us.

Although I thought I had pressed the “move to the top of the page” button for my reflection on Saint Peter of Verona four days ago, I only discovered this afternoon, Monday, May 3, 2021, the Feast of the Finding Holy Cross, and the Commemoration of Pope Saint Alexander and of Saints Juvenal, Eventius, and Theodulus, that I had not done so, rectifying that oversight as soon as I discovered it.

Events in the miniature horse world (and my own duties for care for the entirety of the farm while the youngest member of our family won many first-place ribbons for the performance one of her miniature horses in various categories of competition) made me a full-time farmer during most of the past week. From early in the morning until Midnight, therefore, I was at work managing the home and the farm during my family’s absence. I was unable to write anything new, although I think that my last original article, which keeps being revised with additional links and by making various corrections, should have kept some of the readers of this site busy for a while.

This is a brief reflection of the Finding of the Holy Cross by Saint Helena.

We must be ever aware of the fact that Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will bestow all manner of crosses upon us each day. It is essential for us to ask Our Lady to send us the graces we need to lift high the cross and to remember that no matter the size of the cross nor the length of time we are called to bear it, life is short, eternity is forever. Redemptive suffering is the path to our sanctification and salvation.

Ave Crux, Spes Unica!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Alexander and Saints Juvenal, Eventius, and Theodulus, pray for us.

Saint Monica, pray for us.

Although late in the day, today is still the feast of the protomartyr of the Order of Preachers, Saint Peter of Verona, who is known more commonly as Saint Peter Martyr. Time has been spent to revise this brief reflection of the life and holy martyrdom of this great Dominican, who hated error in his childhood as a result of being brought up by parents who were Manicheans. Saint Peter Martyr loved the Holy Faith, and it was this love that prompted him to accept his martyrdom with serenity as he wrote "Credo in Unum Deum" in his very own blood as he fell to the ground after a heretic had stabbed him.

Some more information about the origins of the CCP/Wuhan/China/Chinese/Covid-19/Coronavirus has been added to Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part twelve.

The request for non-tax-deductible financial gifts remains is also hereby renewed. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us. 

Saint Peter Martyr, pray for us.

[Update on Tuesday, April  27, 2021, the Feast of Saint Peter Canisius within the Octave of the Solemnity of Saint Joseph: Several typographical errors were corrected late on Monday, April 26, 2021, the Feast of Pope Saints Cletus and Marcellinus and, in some places, the Feast of Our Lady of Good Counsel. Also, a new section that makes needed qualifications and distinctions has been added before the section about the Feast of Saint Mark. Thank you. Thanks also for considering the continued request for non-tax-deductible financial gifts.]

Much work has gone into the writing of what I hope will be the end of my “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus” series.

The effort was expended in order to provide the readers of this site—and those to whom readers may want to send the article—hard facts to demonstrate the extent of the plandemicists’ lies and their efforts to force people into receiving “vaccinations” that are making thousands of people ill and kill hundreds upon hundreds more.

Perhaps the best empirical measure of the extent of the adverse reactions, including death, caused by the “vaccinations,” each of which is replete with all manner of poisons, is found on the Center for Disease Control’s own Vaccine Adverse Effects website. Four different reports, published on The Defender page of the Children’s Health Defense organization, published on March 5, March 11, April 16, and April 23, 2021, have been included to show the increase in the numbers of injuries and deaths caused by the vaccines.

The commentary contains the following parts and a conclusion that reminds readers to view this plandemic and everything about it through the supernatural eyes of the Holy Faith and to refuse to live in fear of any kind:

I. Face-to-Face with A Dictatorship by the “Experts”

II. The Propaganda Campaign to Deny the Nature and Extent of the Injuries Caused at Warp Speed by the Vaccines

III. Vaccine “Safety”

IV. Red China: Remaining at the Heart of the Entire Plandemic

V. The American Statists and Their Death-Dealing Policies

VI. From Lockdowns to Vaccine Passports

VII. A Few Distinctions and Qualifications

VIII. On the Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist

IX. Concluding Thoughts

There are also three appendices at the conclusion of the text and a request for non-tax-deductible financial gifts for those willing and able to provide them at this time.

Finally, I ask you prayers for the repose of the soul of a truly valiant Mrs. Doria Frank, who was one of the most spirited fighters for the Catholic Faith I have ever known. Mrs. Frank died in West Islip, Long Island, New York, on Wednesday, April 21, 2021, at the age of seventy-two, after a nearly two-year battle with brain cancer, a battle she fought with her fiber of her Catholic being as she told every doctor, nurse and medical technician with whom she interacted these past two years that she was offering up her sufferings for the honor and glory of God and in reparation for her own sins and those of others. Along with her husband of forty-seven years, Mr. William Frank, who took care of her every need as his Catholic employers gave him all the time he needed to so, Mrs. Frank sang “Holy God, We Praise Thy Name” when she left the hospital after one of her initial treatments in 2019.

I have known Bill and Doria Frank since 1991. Their two thoroughly Catholic daughters, Olivia, who is married with seven children of her own, and Catherine, were part of the homeschooling consortium in which I taught in the 1990s. Each of the Franks have fought hard for the Faith, including the battle for pro-life absolutism in opposition to incrementalism on Long Island in 1998, about which I reported at length in The Wanderer.

We were very happy to see the Franks twice in 2019 during our two (and probably, given the current circumstances, the last) visits to Long Island that year.

A Requiem Mass for her immortal soul will be offered at Saint Michael the Archangel Church in Farmingville, Long Island, New York, tomorrow, Monday, April 26, 2021, the Feast of Pope Saints Cletus and Marcellinus within the Octave of the Solemnity of Saint Joseph (and, in some places, the Feast of Our Lady of Good Counsel).

Please join us in praying for the repose of the soul of our dear friend and exemplary Catholic wife and mother, who was a pioneering homeschooling Catholic on Long Island in the 1980s, Mrs. Doria Frank, as well as praying for the consolation of her devoted husband, William, her two daughters, Oliva (and her husband Joseph Reitzel) and Catherine, seven grandchildren, two brothers, John and Joseph DePaola, and countless other friends, relatives, and fellow Catholics who were always inspired by her great joy for the Holy Faith and entertained by her acerbic, sardonic New York sense of humor.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Given the length of this current commentary, there will not be another original article on this site for a week or so. Republished articles will be published on Thursday and Friday. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Mark, pray for us.

I am offering a republished reflection on the life and martyrdom of Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, O.F.M., Cap., the Protomartyr of the Capuchin Franciscans and the patron saint of the Society for the Propagation f the faith, today, Saturday, April 24, 2021.

Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, O.F.M., Cap. opposed false ecumenism with his very life. Unlike the conciliar "popes" and their "episcopal" henchmen, Saint Fidelis came to "extirpate heresy, not to embrace it."

Work on part twelve of  "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus" series is proceeding in a very methodical manner. I need another two full days of writing before I can post it, and it is thus my current expectation to have it published by Monday, April 26, 2021, the Feast of Popes Cletus and Marcellinus (and, in some places, the Feast of Our Lady of Good Counsel).  

Killers in white coats abound in the world today. This stands to reason as we live in a world formed by the lies of Martin Luther and the scions of Judeo-Masonry, and the whole fabric of the ecclesiology and pastoral practice of the counterfeit church of conciliarism is based upon an “official reconciliation” with those lies. God will visit a major chastisement upon the “civilized” world for its warfare against truth, which is nothing other than a warfare against Him and His Divine Revelation.

May God have mercy on us all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, pray for us.

Today is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph in Paschaltide, a feast that originated under the title of “The Patronage of Saint Joseph” in 1847 by Pope Pius IX before being given its current name in 1911 and then repositioned two years later on the Wednesday following the Second Sunday after Easter by Pope Saint Pius X. This reflection is by way of an annual reminder, slightly revised, to trust in Saint Joseph, the Patron of the Universal Church and the Protector of the Faithful, in these times of persecution by the forces of Antichrist in the world and in the counterfeit church of conciliarism. 

Work continues on "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavius," part twelve, which will take another three to four full days of writing before it is completed, and please scrol below for yesterday's original commentary.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church and Protector of the Faithful, pray for us.

Saint Anselm, pray for us.

An upcoming conference sponsored by the conciliar revolutionaries features a roster of virtual  speakers that is a veritable who’s who and hall of shame of no goodniks form the secular world who will discourse about plandemic, the “joys” of the mRNA gene therapy engineered into the vaccines produced and distributed after receiving “emergency authorization” from the United States Food and Drug Administration whose goal is to produce “transhumans,” and other subjects pertaining to “Mind, Soul, and Body.” Among those scheduled to speak are the nefarious Anthony Fauci and the pro-abortion, pro-perversity “planet-saving” Chelsea Victoria Clinton Mezvinsky.

Part twelve of “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus” will focus in depth on the gene therapies being marketed as vaccines that have already kill and injured a number of recipients. This current commentary centers around the simple fact that any religious sect who invites notorious pro-aborts, prod-sodomites, statists, and earth worshipers should be proof enough that the counterfeit church of conciliarism has not been, is not now nor can ever be the Catholic Church.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
