One antipope dies, another carries on with a commitment to the junk science of "climate change," which is a tool of the anti-population crowd for the "global reset" and for globalist censorship of everyone who contradicts their manufactured facts.

I was unable to complete this commentay until now as it took a day or two to recover from a long round-trip via air to see my cardiologist in Texas on the day after Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV "blessed" a block of ice. I kid you not.

I wonder if Raymond Leo Burke and Gerhard Muller have buyer's remorse yet.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Placidus and His Companions, pray for us.

Today, Saturday, October 4, 2025, is the Feast of the Seraphic Saint, Saint Francis of Assisi, who was born as Giovanni di Bernardone in 1182 (some say 1181).

This revised article is a poor way to pay tribute to the follower of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who gave up earthly riches to embrace Lady Poverty, earning himself eternal riches in the process, eternal riches that helped to save the Church Militant on earth from falling down at a time of great clerical corruption. It is my hope, however, that this poor tribute to Saint Francis, a saint of profound Eucharistic piety and deep, tender devotion to the Mother of God who rejoiced in the midst of trials and sufferings and insults and even the rejection of his own father and brother, will provide some food for meditation about the glorious life of this joyful saint of prayer and penance.

The next original commentary is being written. 

Saint Francis of Assisi, pray for us!

A blessed feast day to our friends to all Franciscans, including those of the Third Order.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Francis of Assisi, pray for us.

Marie-Frances Therese Martin was born to the holiest of parents, Louis and Zelie Martin, who endeavored to shield their children as much as possible from the influences of the world.

The sacrifices made by Louis and Zelie Martin produced five vocations to the consecrated religious life. Zelie Martin's prayers from eternity after her death assisted her husband as he raised one canonized saint and four other daughters who served Holy Mother Church as brides of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

The simplicity and love of the Little Flower teaches each of us to pursue holiness as befits redeemed creatures, seeking the things of Heaven in this life so that we may spend our Heaven doing good here on earth. Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face was raised in a family that stressed the importance of withdrawing from the world. Louis and Zelie Martin were very protective of their daughters, making sure to instill within them a firm commitment to the Virtue of Modesty.

Indeed, Sister Genevieve of the Holy Face, Marie-Frances Celine Martin, was shocked at the immodesty that had overtaken France with the Allied bombing of Normandy forced the cloistered Carmelites of the Carmel out of their cloister and into the world in June of 1944. She noted this in a letter to Mother Agnes Mary that was dated July 7, 1944:

"After fifty years of eremetical living, to find myself all of a sudden uprooted and thrown into the midst of the world, with veil raised, is a true martyrdom for a recluse like me. It seems to me as if we're in a station where everybody is crowding around and intermingling. We sleep fully clothed on benches; we take our meals in haste, standing up in the dark; we look with astonishment and grief at the feminine styles stripped of all dignity." (As quoted in Celine: Sister Genevieve of the Holy Face, Sister and Witness of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, by Father Stephane-Joseph Piat, O.F.M., p. 130.)

What would Saint Therese and Sister Genevieve say today about the feminine attire that is considered "modest" and "acceptable" in Catholic chapels all across the vast expanse of the ecclesiastical divide where some version of the Immemorial Mass of Tradition is offered or simulated?

They would not have been approving, and that is because their holy parents taught them Catholic right from wordily wrong.

Why is this so difficult for many traditionally-minded Catholic parents to understand, accept and abide by today?

The next original commentary will appear tomorrow, the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, and the the First Saturday of October, the Feast of the Holy Rosary and our Holy Guardian Angels as yesterday, the Feast of the same Angels, was spent making a long round trip to see my cardiologist in Texas for my annual examination.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Therese of Lisieux, pray for us

As Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV anti-pontificated about the necessity of anyone claiming to be pro-life to oppose the death penalty and the “harsh treatment” being meted out to illegal immigrants in addition being opposed to abortion by way of defending his friend Blase Cupich’s expressed intention to bestow an award upon pro-abortion, pro-sodomite United States Senator Richard Durbin (who has since declined the award), part two of my series about Prevost/Leo’s interview with Crux will be delayed until Saturday. Part twenty-six of “Benedictus Qui Venit in Nomini Domine, Hosanna in Excelsis” will follow thereafter.

Our Lady, Queen of the Holy Angels, pray for us.

Our Holy Guardian Angels, pray for us.

This reflection on our Holy Guardian Angels is brief. Our devotion to and reliance upon our Guardian Angels, however, must be lifelong. 

A new commentary will be posted within fifteen minutes.

Our Lady of the Angels, pray for us.

Our Holy Guardian Angels, pray for us.

Although I will have part two of my current series posted by this time tomorrow, today’s commentary focuses on President Donald John Trump’s boasting at the Charlie Kirk secular canonization on Sunday, September 21, 2025, of hating his “opponents.” Such is not the teaching of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus, and it is well past the time for those who still believe that a serial blasphemer who is continuing to enable Israeli’s genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza to wake up and realize that no one on the face of this earth is exempt from forgiving others as Our Lord Himself forgives us so readily in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Remigius, pray for us.

Before I started work on formatting this republished reflection, I noticed that yesterday's reflection was published in a "filtered" format that rendered it into gibberish. I had to shut down the computer before the work on the Drupal platform had been saved, meaning that the work was lost when I reopened the computer. I just did not push the "Full Html" button as I normally do, and apologize for the problem, which has been corrected.

Now, today's republished reflection is on the life and the work of Saint Jerome, the great great Dalmatian who put the love of God above all else. Consider just one quotation from the work of this prolific writer and translator of the Bible into the Latin Vulgate:

"It is a smaller sin to follow evil which you think is good, than not to venture to defend what you know for certain is good. If we cannot endure threats, injustice, poverty, how shall we overcome the flames of Babylon? Let us not lose by hollow peace what we have preserved by war. I should be sorry to allow my fears to teach me faithlessness, when Christ has put the true faith in the power of my choice." (Saint Jerome, Prologue to the Treatise Against the Pelagians.)

How many traditionally-minded Catholics who are as of yet attached to the structures of the counterfeit church of conciliarism who know for certain that it is not good to praise false religions or to enter places of false worship or to treat the "clergy" of false religions as having a mission from the true God of Divine Revelation to serve and save souls refuse to do what is good, that is, to defend the honor and glory and majesty God and His Sacred Deposit Faith in order to indemnify the author of long-since repealed Summorum Pontificum, the late Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, whose successor, the late Jorge Mario Bergoglio, laid bare for all the world to see that he is "worried" by those who "want to return to the past"?

We must always defend what we know to be true as servants of the greater honor and glory of God.

Saint Jerome did.

What's our excuse?

The next original article will appear tomorrow, the Feast of Saint Remigius.

I ask for your prayers for my dear wife, Sharon, who turns but a mere sixty-two years of age of age today. Thank you.

Finally, this is the third anniversary of the death of Rebecca Lynn Adams Dupree, the daughter of longtime readers of this site, Michael and Sandra Adams, in Amman, Jordan. Please remember Mrs. Dupree's immortal soul and the needs of her parents, two brothers and sister today. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Jerome, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of the Dedication of the Church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Mount Gargano, Italy. 

It is interesting to note that, given the rationalism that underlies Modernists' rejection of the supernatural, that this feast is not celebrated as such in the counterfeit church of conciliarism as it is based upon the apparition of Saint Michael the Archangel on May 8, 490. The architects of the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service went to great lengths to edit out almost all references to apparitions, Indeed, none other than the old Rosicurcian Mason himself, Angelo Roncalli/John XXIII, suppressed the Feast of the Apparition of Saint Michael the Archangel on May 8 entirely in the first wave of his Jansenist anti-liturgical changes that went into effect on Sunday, December 3, 1960, the First Sunday of Advent, and the feast that we celebrate today, was eliminated by Annibale Bugnini and company and replaced with the combined Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. 

Believing Catholics, however, know that Holy Mother Church cannot deceive us, and that her Sacred Liturgy is guided by none other than the Third Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, God the Holy Ghost. It is thus that we celebrated the Feast of Dedication of the Church of Saint Michael the Archangel today, Monday, September 29, 2025.

Our Lady, Queen of the Angels, pray for us.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us and protect us.

This commentary focuses on Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV’s answers to Elise Ann Allen of Crux concerning his openness to both sodomy and the possibility of “changing” doctrine of “attitudes” change first.

I will have another commentary or two about other of the false “pontiff’s” answer in a day or two.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Wenceslasus, pray for us.

Today, Sunday, September 28, 2025, the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost, is also the commemorated the feast of the great Saint Wenceslaus, King of Bohemia, who was murdered by his own brother, who hated the fact that that he, King Wenceslaus, was everything that he, Boleslaus, hated, namely, pious and devoted, a servant of Christ the King, a just ruler who ruled to advance the common temporal good in light of man's Last End. Boleslaus hated the fact that his brother, our dear saint, loved the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and baked the Eucharistic bread with his own hands. This should give us pause for reflection in our own circumstances today when so many of our own relatives and one-time friends and acquaintances might hate us simply for being Catholic, no less Catholics who try, despite our sins and failings, to adhere to everything taught by Holy Mother Church from time immemorial. Saint Wenceslaus was a king who was prostrate before THE King, Christ the King, in life who adores him in Heaven face to face.
