With apologies for the delay, caused both by working on my detailed review of Jorge Mario Bergoglio's time as the universal public face of apostasy that appears will continue for at least a little while longer within the Providence of God and by the continued flu-like sickness that is now in its thirteenth full day, this commentary discusses the now infamous postruing and preening of one Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday, February 28, 2025.

Tomorrow's commentary will be a brief discussion of President Donald John Trump's State of the Union Address that, no matter how hilarious in its delivery and no matter how childish his defiantly clueless foes in the false opposite of the naturalist left showed themselves to be once again, was mostly an exercise in Americanist Pelagianism.

Today, Thursday, March 6, 2025, the Feast of Saints Perpetua and Felicity and of the Commemoration of Thursday after Ash Wednesday, would have been the one hundred fourth birthday of my late mother, Norma Florence Red Fox Droleskey, who was born on March 6, 1921, as Maxine Coomer to an unwed mother, Ruth Coomer, at a foundling hospital in Kanas City, Missouri. (She was adopted by a vaudevillian performer who claimed to be a Sioux Indian Chieftain--see Guest Column: Chief Red Fox, by George Farias--some months later along with her twin brother, Max Coomer, who was renamed Louis Red Fox in honor of "The Chief's" brother, Louis Humes, and later died in infancy. My mother herself was renamed as Norma Florence Red Fox in honor of my adoptive grandather's only siser, Norma Irene Humes. Please pray for the soul of my late mother, who died of stomach and esophageal cancer on March 18, 1982, in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Our  Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Perpetua and Felicity, pray for us.

Our annual Lenten journey into the desert begins today, Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025. Deo gratias!

The season that begins on Ash Wednesday is the time of penance. This is the time to withdraw from the world. This is the time to be earnest about relying upon the ineffable graces that were won for us by the shedding of every single drop of the Most Precious Blood of Our Divine Redeemer, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, during His Passion and Death and that flow into our sous through the loving hands of His Most Blessed Mother, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces.

This period of six weeks, four days until Easter Sunday (six weeks, three and one-half days until the Easter Vigil) is nearly one-ninth of an entire calendar year. May we beg Our Lady to help us make the best Lent of our lives as we do not know if it will be our last. Indeed, we do not know whether we will live to see Easter Sunday in this life on Sunday, April 20, 2025.

Now, I have been busy these past few days preparing what is either going to be a twelfth anniversary restrospective on the destuctive work that has been done by Jorge Mario Bergoglio since walking out onto the balcony of the Basilica of Saint Peter on Wednesday, March 13, 2013, or a review of that terrible work after his death. The review is almost in its final form, although there are some more points that I am going to add in the next few days presuming the Argentine Apostate will contine to remain hospitalized barring his death. The review has taken many hours to assemble, which why I have not had time to write any new commentary in the past few days. 

Additionally, I am still dealing with the penitential offering called the flu of one kind or another, the most prominent feature of which, other than a nagging cough, has been and continues to be fatigue. Well, Lent has begun, and penance is better than ever in 2025!

Nevertheless, there should be a new article tomorrow on the Feast of Saints Perpetua and Felicity and the Commemoration of Thursday after Ash Wednesday. 

Thank you.

Our Lady of Dolors, pray for us.

Quinquageisma Sunday update: I am still working on what will be a detailed commentary about Jorge Mario Bergoglio's false pontificate after he dies or a review of this false pontificate on the occasion of his twelfth anniversary of being elected as the sixth universal public face of apostasy as the head of the false conciliar sect. I made substantial headway yesterday and hope to make some more today. So much apostasy, so little time, but at least I am working on the project despite my own flu-like illness that is now in its tenth day. Penance is indeed better than ever in 2025! An article on a different topic, though, should appear by tomorrow, Monday, March 3, 2025.

Although President Donald John Trump and Vice President did a masterful job of putting the Ukrainian grifter named Volodymyr Zelensky in his place yesterday, Friday, February 28, 2025, we must never fall into the Judeo-Masonic naturalistic trap of developing intense attachments to those in public life other than the commitment in Christian charity that we must perform daily to pray for the conversion of everyone in public life to the true Faith and/or to a correct view of the Holy Faith as the only standard by which we are to understand the events of this passing, mortal vale of tears.

Thus, the same man, Donald John Trump, who reamed out the man who has used American taxpayers as his personal ATM even before Russia’s unjust invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Volodymyr Zelensky, is the same man who put an artificially generated image of himself enjoying the decadent “pleasures” of “Trump Gaza,” including an image of a giant golden statue of himself.

Can any say King Donald John Nabuchodonosor?

Finally, although Jorge Mario Bergoglio may or may not die from the serious conditions that have required him to be hospitalized for two weeks, it is probably the case that many parishes within the conciliar structures are planning their own “celebrations of life” for their revered “pope.” It is perhaps that the “closing song” in one or more of these parishes might be as follows given the fact that white is the chosen color for “Masses of Christian Burial” in the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical travesty: Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehen. (Although Lawrence Welk was a faithful Catholic of German-Russian immigrant parents in North Dakota, I never once watched his show, and it was on television for over twenty years. I only know the closing theme from his show because it was played by organist Jane Jarvis on the Thomas organ at Shea Stadium every time fans filed out of the ballpark after a Mets’ home game between April 17m 1964, and her retirement in August of 1979. It fits the mood of the celebratory festive nature of the Novus Ordo.)

Continue to pray for the conversion of the lay Jesuit revolutionary, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, to the Catholic Faith before he dies, whenever that might be within the Providence of God.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, Patron of Departing Souls and Terror of Demons, pray for us.

As what I thought originally was a twenty-four-hour sickness is now in its sixth day, my work has been slowed considerably.

However, this new commentary has been written to discuss the so-called United States Conference of “Catholic Bishops” refusal to acknowledge the dangers posed to the protection of American citizens by violent illegal immigrants and to demonstrate once again that the USCCB is itself a mortal threat to the sanctification and salvation of the souls for whom Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ shed every single drop of His Most Precious Blood to redeem during His Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross on Good Friday. It is but an instrument of a false church that has nothing to do with the Catholic Church (see Memorandum from Saint Ambrose to All Catholics: “The Catholic faith derives so much strength and support from the words of the Apostolic See, that it is criminal to entertain any doubts concerning it”).

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother, pray for us.

Work continues on my farewell to Jorge Mario Bergoglio commentary, which will be published one day, if not in the next few days, weeks or months, but is nevertheless important to have the completed commentary on hand when he does die, which by a miracle of Our Lady’s graces will occur only after he has abjured his errors. Unlikely? Yes, human speaking. However, we must continue to pray for a miracle as the following passage from Sacred Scripture applies to each of us as well as to the man who goes by the stage name of “Pope Francis”:

[26] For if we sin wilfully after having the knowledge of the truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins, [27] But a certain dreadful expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries. [28] A man making void the law of Moses, dieth without any mercy under two or three witnesses: [29] How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to the Spirit of grace? [30] For we know him that hath said: Vengeance belongeth to me, and I will repay. And again: The Lord shall judge his people.

[31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10: 26-31.)

In light of the lingering of some flu-like symptoms, though, I am unable to offer you a new commentary today, the Feast of Saint Matthias, but I am republishing a commentary about the Russo-Ukrainian War that began with the Russian invasion of Ukraine three years ago today.

The commentary was written while the globalist train wreck of an administration fronted by Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. and Kamala Harris Emhoff was encouraging Volodymyr Zelensky to lower the draft age so that younger Ukrainian men could be used as cannon fodder in a war that Ukraine is clearly losing.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Matthias, pray for us.

A report in The New York Times published eight days ago documented the unsafe, unsanitary, and unseemly conditions in many Planned Barrenhood killing centers. Obviously, The Times did this to argue for “better” conditions and more government funding for its deadly work.

However, the work of Planned Barrenhood has always been unsafe, unsanitary, unseemly, and positively deadly to the spiritual and bodily health of women, to the lives of the innocent preborn, and to pursuit of sanctity by the young as well as people all of ages, and to the stability of family life and the larger life of nations.

Work on a farewell to Jorge Mario Bergoglio will continue later today, Sexagesima Sunday (about which there are three appendices following the body of this current commentary) and the Commemoration of Saint Peter Damian. The Argentine Apostate may not die during his current hospitalization, but he is going to need a great deal of time to recover if he does not die now. My “farewell” will be thematic, not chronological, as was the case when I published Mister Asteroid Is Looking Pretty Good Right About Now on February 12, 2013, the day after Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI announced his resignation, which became effective on February 28, 2013.

I pray for Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s conversion to the Catholic Faith before he dies, whenever that shall occur.

May God’s Holy Will be done in his life—and in the life of us all!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, Patron of the Dying, pray for us.

Saint Peter Damian, pray for us.

As the latest update provided by the physicians attending Jorge Mario Bergoglio at Gemelli Hospital in Rome, Italy, listed the Argentine Apostate’s condition as “critical” and that he was in need of blood transfusions and large amounts of oxygen, I am preparing a review of this Modernist’s nearly twelve years as the universal public face of apostasy, which is a massive undertaking given the sheer body of Bergoglio’s words and deeds since he emerged on the balcony of the Basilica of Saint Peter on Wednesday evening, March 13, 2013.

For the moment, however, I am providing a catalogue of commentaries that I have written since March 13, 2023, including the latest one, which was published on February 12, 2025, the Feast of the Seven Holy Founders of the Order of Servites of the Dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Work on a different commentary that had to be interrupted before coming down with some kind of twenty-four-hour sickness yesterday, Friday, February 21, 2025, but will continue presently with publication expected in a few hours.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

Saint Matthias, pray for us.

Another root causes commentary, this one dealing with Vice President James David Vance's address to the Munich Security Conference on Friday, February 14, 2025, the Feast of Saint Valentine. 

I should have another commentary ready for publication in about twenty-four hours.

Finally, the Donations page  was updated nine days ago. About five people have responded to private requests. However, only one has responded specifically to the donations page appeal, and that donation came from a regular donor. Only the readers of this site can decide for themselves whether this work is worth even a small donation. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Donald John Trump has issued another executive order. Unlike most of the others he has signed recently, the latest executive order is meant to lower the “cost” of the immoral, baby-killing practice known as in vitro fertilization.

The true cost of in vitro fertilization, though, has nothing to do with money. It has everything to do with mocking God and His laws and the killing of millions of embryonic human beings.

Make America “great again”?

Immoral promises made and kept.

I interrupted work on my commentary about Vice President James David Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference last week to discuss the president’s latest executive order. Work on the Vance matter will continue later today.

However, I am also mindful that the time may be nearing to give the Argentine Apostate a farewell commentary. While I pray daily for Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s conversion, the fact that he is trying to cement his wretched “legacy” while suffering from double pneumonia means that he is fully prepared to die as an unrepentant heretic and blasphemer. May we beg Our Lady for Bergoglio’s eyes to be opened to the truth before they will be opened for him when dies.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

There is much understandable attention being given to the efforts to expose and eliminate wasteful spending, much of used to fund Marxist and anti-family nongovernmental organizations in the name of “saving democracy,” being undertaken by Elon Musk and his associates at the Department of Government Efficiency.

This commentary is to remind readers that, despite the current well-intentioned efforts, the only real way to effect a truly limited government is for men to have a due submission to Christ the King and His Catholic Church as they seek to pursue the common temporal good in light of man’s Last End, the possession of the glory of the Beatific Vision of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost for all eternity in Heaven.

Root causes, good readers, root causes.

This website went live on February 20, 2004, as a continuation of the work of printed journal of the same time that was published from September 1996 to February 2004. Although I came to understand and accept the true state of the Church Militant in this time of apostasy and betrayal two years, two months, ten days after this site’s debut, my commentaries on politics and governance have been consistent in their discussion of root causes, and I will never wave in my absolute insistence that it is, quite indeed, Christ or chaos.

The next commentary on this site will deal with Vice President James David Vance’s remarkable take down of the globalist tyrants at the European Security Conference in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, on Friday, February 14, 2025, the Feast of Saint Valentine. It was a bold accusation of how the “victors” of the Cold War have institutionalized a Soviet-style system of thought control in their own countries.

There was only one problem with the vice president’s address: “democracy” is not the “solution.” Judeo-Masonic “democracy” must lead to totalitarianism over time.

What was I saying about root causes?

Check back tomorrow.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
