This is a republished reflection about Pope Saint Clement that includes the following passage from Dom Prosper Gueranger's The Liturgical Year:

With only one exception, all of the documents which attest Clement's intervention in the affairs of distant churches have perished with time; but the one that remains shows us in full action the monarchical power of the bishop of Rome at that primitive epoch. The church of Corinth was disturbed with intestine quarrels caused by jealously against certain pastors. These divisions, the germ of which had appeared even in St. Paul's time, had destroyed all peace, and were causing scandal to the very pagans. The Corinthians at last felt the necessity of putting an end to a disorder which might be prejudicial to the extension of the Christian faith; and for this purpose it was requisite to seek assistance from outside. The apostle had all departed this life, except St. John, who was still the light of the Church. It was not great distance from Corinth to Ephesus where the apostle resided: yet it was not to Ephesus but to Rome that the church of Corinth turned. Clement examined the case referred to his judgment by that church, and sent to Corinth five commissaries to represent the Apostolic See. They were bearers of a letter, which St. Irenaeus calls potentissimas litteras. It was considered at the time so beautiful and so apostolic, that it was long read in many churches as a sort of continuation of the canonical Scriptures. Its tone is dignified but paternal, according to St. Peter's advice to pastors. There is nothing in it of a domineering spirit; but the grave and solemn language bespeaks the universal pastor, whom none can disobey without disobeying God Himself. These words so solemn and so firm wrought the desired effect: peace was re-established in the church of Corinth, and the messengers of the Roman Pontiff soon brought back the happy news. A century later, St. Dionysius, bishop of Corinth, expressed to Pope St. Soter the gratitude still felt by his flock towards Clement for the service he had rendered. (Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year.)

Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B,, understood that was and can be no such thing as "resistance" to a true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter.

Finally, a glitch prevented yesterday's republished article form being published properly. The glitch has been fixed. Also, an original article, Over Fifty Years of Weasel Words and Cowardly Inaction, was published late Saturday evening.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

This is a very brief, republished reflection on the heroic virtues of Saint Ceclia, whose feast is commemorated today, November 22, 2020, the Twenty-fifth and Last Sunday after Pentecost.

Work continues apace on the next original commentary, although time will be spent today completing three more video presentations that I hope to have uploaded to Bit Chute in a few days.

Saint Cecilia, pray for us.

The American apostates met in Baltimore, Maryland, this past week.

This brief commentary deals with the “firmness” they exhibited when dealing how to penalize Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr, Nancy Patricia D’Alesandro Pelosi, and all other Catholics in public life who support sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance, starting with willful murder itself.

Please scroll below for a republished reflection for today's commemorated feast and for three sermons of Father Francis X. Weininger, S.J., on the Last Sunday aafter Pentecost.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Today is the Twenty-sixth and Last Sunday after Pentecost on which a Commemoration of the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is made secondarily. This is a short reflection on the feast day, which is followed by an appendix including the description of the Presentation of Our Lady as found in The New English Edition of The Mystical City of God.

The next original article for this site should be published within fifteen minutes of this posting. 

Finally, please pray for a former student of mine who turns fifty-four years of age today and for a friend of ours on Long Island who turns seventy-three years of age today. Thank you.

Our Lady, Ark of the New Covenant, pray for us.

Saints Joachim and Anne, pray for us.

Although a republished reflection on the Commemorated Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin May will be posted within thirty minutes of this posting, followed in quick order by an original article, I have taken the time to format Father Francis X. Weninger’s three sermons for the Last Sunday after Pentecost to provide a source of meditation on this last Sunday before Advent.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

This is a republished reflection on the suffering endured by the very first member of the Third Order of Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, who suffered much at the hands of her family members and even at the hands of the poor whose welfare she provided so generously when her husband, Louis, was the Landgrieve of Thuringia.

News reached of the death of the Reverend Patrick Perez reached me early yesterday morning. As is well known in traditional circles, we went to what we thought at the time was Holy Mass at Our Lady Help of Christians Church in Garden Grove, California, whenever we were in southern California between early-2002 and February of 2006.

Although I maintained no contact with him after I spoke with him in July of 2006 to discuss Father Anthony Cekada’s study on the invalidity of the conciliar rite of episcopal consecration (see New Bishops, Empty Tabernacles and Novus Ordo Watch’s Unholy Orders: 50 Years of Invalid Ordinations), I remembered him in my prayers every day during his life and will remember the repose of his immortal soul every day in my prayers for the Poor Souls. 

Reverend Perez was was very kind to us during our visits to Our Lady Help of Christians, and he also wrote the introduction to the second edition of my GIRM Warfare (which has been entirely revised and updated to reflect my understanding of the true state of the Church in this time of apostasy and betrayal). We are saddened to learn of his death at age sixty-one.

Even though the circumstances of the state of apostasy and betrayal are such that we may find ourselves estranged from former friends and colleagues, if not family members, we must pray every day for a good reconciliation in eternity. Reverend Perez was very close to Our Lady, and she always takes care of her own.

Please join us in praying for the happy repose of the immortal soul of Reverend Patrick Perez.

Caritas super omnia!

Requiem aeternum dona eis, Domine; et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescant in pace. Amen.

A new article should be ready for publication by Sunday, November 21, 2021, the Twenty-sixth and Last Sunday after Pentecost and the Commemoration of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Pontian I, pray for us.

The conciliar revolutionaries eschew the supernatural in favor of the merely natural. They are rationalists of the highest order, and this commentary provides a relatively brief explanation as to why this is so.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Gertrude the Great, pray for us.

This is a republished reflection on the life and martrydom of Saint Josaphat Kuncewicz, whose feast is commemorated today, the Twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost (Mass of the Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany).

Saint Jospahat Kuncewicz did what conciliarism forbids, namely, seeking the conversion of the heretical and schismatic Orthodox to the Catholic Church, she who is the one and only true Church founded by Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ upon the Rock of Peter, the Pope. 

The current pretender in Rome has carried on the conciliar "tradition" of claiming that the Orthodox churches are simply a branch of "Christianity." This brief reflection refutes that false contention. Indeed, the very life of Saint Jospahat Kuncewicz is a refutation of that false contention.

An original article is being written as I recover from the surgery of six days ago. I hope to have it published by Monday morning, the Feast of Saint Albert the Great, who is one of my own patron saints.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Josaphat Kuncewicz, pray for us.

Well, thanks be to Our Lord and His Most Blessed Mother, the surgery on Monday, November 8, 2021, the Octave Day of All Saints and the Commemoration of the Four Holy Crowned Martyrs, went well. The Surgery Center of Oklahoma is remarkable, and I am very grateful to have had my surgery there once again as I had back in 2015.

Although I had intended to devote a few days to writing during this past week, it was within God’s Holy Providence for me to attend to one unexpected problem after another, including having to replace our car’s battery yesterday, Saturday, November 6, 2021, as it had died on Thursday morning, November 4, 2021, the Feast of Saint Charles Borromeo because of colder weather and then died again yesterday. The battery was three and one-half years old, so I had to drive twenty-five miles on a day when I thought I could get a brief article completed to get a new battery installed. 

Thus, as I am leaving home later today, Sunday, November 7, 2021, the Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost (Mass of the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany) within the Octave of All Saints, to drive up to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for surgery on Monday, November 8, 2021, the Octave of All Saints, I have adapted the final part of an older article to serve as a reminder to Catholics not to be agitated by all the problems or elated by the results of various elections, from which our salvation or even the reform of society doth not spring.

Root causes.

Root causes.

Root causes.

No Social Reign of Christ the King, no just social order.

Yes, it is really Christ or chaos.

We need Our Lady’s help more now than ever before to shut out the agitation and to seek to do reparation for our sins as we offer up all the crosses, whether great or small, that God in His ineffable mercy sees fit to send us to His Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Viva Cristo Rey!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

All the Saints, pray for us.

Viva La Virgen da Guadaulupe!

Pray the Rosary daily.
