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.

This is the concluding part of a two-part commentary.

Today, Friday, September 26, 2025, is the Feast of the North American Martyrs, the eight Jesuits who gave up their lives for the Holy Faith in what are now parts of Canada and upstate New York between 1642 and 1649, and the Commemoration of  Saint Cyprian and Justina here in the United States of America.

This brief reflection contrasts the life and martyrdom of the eight men killed between 1642 and 1649 and the conciliar "saints". Each of the North American Martyr (Isaac Jogues, Rene Goupil, Jean Lalande, Gabriel Lalemant, Noel Chabanel, Anthony Daniel, Charles Garnier, and John de Brebeuf) shed their blood to Catholicize the upper reaches of North America. They were not interested in "inculturating" the Catholic liturgy with the pagan superstitions and barbaric practices of the Iroquois. They were concerned only about attempting to convert the heathens to the true Faith and to plant the seeds for the conversion of the land in which their noble missionary work had taken them.

Can we do any less than they?

We must seek to "keep it Catholic" at all times as we seek to plant the seeds for the conversion of this nation to become the Catholic States of America.

A new commentary will be posted within ten minutes of this reflection's republication.

Although I am working on two other commentaries at this time, I have decided to focus on Rainbow Blase Cupich’s decision to honor the egregious pro-death, pro-perversity Richard Durbin.

Part one provides a detailed history of conciliar inaction against pro-death Catholic in public life while part two will add a bit more to that history while concentrating on Durbin’s demagogic support of baby butchery and his bitter denunciations of pro-life advocates.

Our Lady of Ransom, pray for us.

Although part one of a two-part commentary will be published soon, I am also ofering eaders a brief reflection on the Feast of Our Lady of Ransom (Mercy), which is celebrated today, Wednesday, September 25, 2025. 

Our Lady of Ransom, pray for us.

 Today is the Feast of Saint Matthew the Apostle and Evangelist and the Commemoration of the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost.

Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ called Levi from his duties as a collector of tribute for Caesar to follow Him. Levi quit his position as a tax collector to become a collector of souls for God and His true Church. Saint Matthew wrote His Gospel to convince his fellow Jews to accept Our Lord as the Divine Redeemer and to convert to the true Faith, Catholicism.

This is quite a contrast with the work of the conciliar "popes," who have esteeemed Talmudic Judaism as an instrument of "justice" although it denies the Sacred Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ and wages warfare upon those who seek to restore the Social Reign of Christ the King, to say nothing of the fact that many of its rabbis support abortion and perversity under cover of the civil law. Quite a difference. It's the difference between fidelity and apostasy, between Catholicism and conciliarism.

I have read Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV's lengthy interview published on Crux. What is clear, at least to me, about Prevost/Leo is that he believes that everything concerning what he thinks about Catholicism is nuanced and subject to debate. He is a true son of conciliarism who has knows only how to parrot the stale ole cliches to make himself out to be "open' to everyone. A commentary will be published about a few of the excerpts once technical issues get resolved,

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Matthew the Apostle, pray for us.

Update on September 18, 2025, 10:20 p.m. My conputer has died. It will be difficult to post artcles for a few days.

In the meantime, please review Lavender Friendly Leo Strikes Again in light of Prevost's first interview, in which he said Catholic doctrine about sodomy can change--but not before "hearts and minds" are changed. Well, the conciliar revolutionaries have been changing doctrine for going on seventy-seven years. Well, perhaps some in the "resist while recognize" movement will come to recognize and cesae resisting the truth that none of this can come from the Catholic Church.

This republished article is about Saturday's feast, that of Saint Eustace and his Companions.

Finally, I received notification only on the morning of September 18, 2025, that a La Salette priest, Father James Dunphy, died on August 18, 2025, in Connecticut at the age of ninety-seven. Father Dunphy was a remarkable priest who never staged the Novus Ordo travesty and was a marvelous confessor who had an apostolate of giving spiritual guidance over the phone to anyone who would call him. Please pray for the repose of his immortal soul. Requiescat in pace.

Our Lady of La Salette, pray for us.

Saint Januarius and his Companions, pray for us.

Saint Eustace and his Companions, pray for us.

As the computer upon which these commentaries have been written for the past eighteen months is dying, there is time only to say hello and goodbye. Time to raise funds for a new notebook computer!
