This is a republished tribute to Saint Peter Claver, S.J, whose true missionary zeal for the conversion and sanctification and salvation of souls stands in vast contrast to the blase and practically indifferent attitude of the conciliar "popes," including Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

Saint Peter Claver, S.J., personally baptized over 300,000 people in Colombia who were destined for chattel slavery in the Americas, thus freeing those souls from enslavement to the devil by means of Original Sin, equipping them to offer up the injustices of chattel slavery as disciples of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and as the devoted clients of His Most Blessed Mother. Saint Peter Claver's example does indeed stand in stark contrast to that of the revolutionaries of the counterfeit church of conciliarism.

Still chugging along with the next orginal commentary.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Peter Claver, S.J., pray for us.

Saint Gorgonius, pray for us.

Today is the great feast day of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, she who is the fairest flower of our race. The Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost is also commemorated today.

The angels rejoiced around the crib where Good Saint Anne placed her all-holy daughter, who had been conceived without any stain of Original Sin nine months before, that is, on December 8. The New Eve, whose act of perfect obedience to the will of God the Father at the moment that Saint Gabriel the Archangel announced to her that she would be the very Mother of God untied the knot of the first Eve's prideful disobedience in the Garden of Eden, shone at her Nativity with exterior beauty and brightness that reflected the interior beauty and brightness of her immortal soul, filled with grace at the very moment of Immaculate Conception.

The favor of God rested upon Our Lady from all eternity. How can words capture our gratitude and joy to God for giving us Our Lady to be our own Heavenly Mother and Queen?

They can't.

Words can only approximate our gratitude and joy this day--and every day of our lives--over the fact that the Singular Vessel of Devotion in whose Virginal and Immaculate Womb would be conceived Our Divine Redeemer was born this day.

We would not have any chance of getting to Heaven if Our Lady had not been conceived and born.

We have no chance of getting to Heaven without Our Lady's help, which is why we, as the consecrated slaves of her Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through her own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, must cling to her at all times, especially by means of wearing--and the fulfilling the terms of our enrollment in--her Brown Scapular and by praying as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit.

Perhaps the best birthday gift that we can give to Our Lady, apart from our worthy reception of her Divine Son in Holy Communion at a true offering of Holy Mass at the hands of a true bishop or a true priest if this is possible where one lives in this time of apostasy and betrayal, is to resolve now to do live more penitentially in reparation for our sins and those of the world world. By living more penitentially and by praying more Rosaries each day, you see, our souls might--emphasis on might--begin to be filled with more fervor and tenderness for Our Most Blessed Mother, she who made possible our salvation and who is the Mediatrix of All Graces.

A blessed Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary to you all.

The next original article will be posted when it is completed. I have to stop predicting when articles will be completed as the time and care required to write a commentary cannot be rushed. I am not as young as I used to be. Things move slower as a result. I am sorry.

Maria Bambia! We salute thee as the fairest flower of our race. Pray for us!

Saint Hadrian, pray for us.

This commentary, which deals with Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s constitutional reluctance, if not aversion, to criticizing Communist regimes even whey they persecute Catholics, was published in four parts from August 27, 2022, to September 27, 2022. It is being republished now as a single unit because of the Argentine Apostate’s recent exhortation to Chinese Catholics to be “good Christians” and “good citizens” even through the Red Chinese government wants Chinese Catholics to be good and obedient servants of a Communist state whose leader has ordered crucifixes removed from Catholic churches and replaced with his own visage.

An original commentary will appear tomorrow, the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and, yes, I am working on part twenty-five of “Sin More Deadly Than the Coronavirus.”

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Saint Cloud, pray for us.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio went to Mongolia over the weekend. I had paid no attention to this journey until learning that sixth in the current line of antipopes had once again said that the Catholic Church does not advance by what he calls disparagingly as “proselytism,” by which he means the seeking of converts to the true Church, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order.

The false “pontiff” also refused to acknowledge the Chinese Catholics who traveled to Mongolia to see home and he urged Catholics in Red China to be “good Christians and good citizens.”

Although the subject of this commentary is his disparagement of seeking converts, I will prepare a four-part series published just about a year ago now for republication as one posting to comment on Senor Jorge’s continued obsequiousness toward the Chinese Communist’s totalitarian regime.

Finally, this is the thirty-first anniversary of the death of my late father, Dr. Albert Henry Martin Droleskey, who died on September 5, 1992, at Flower Memorial Hospital in Sylvania, Ohio. Please pray for the response of his immortal soul.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Lawrence Justinian, pray for us.

This is a brief follow-up to Jorge Mario Bergoglio Evangelizes on Behalf of Dogmatic Evolutionism and Moral Relativism Once Again.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Rose of Viterbo, pray for us.

Unlike his immediate predecessor, Pope Leo XIII, and each of his three successors (Popes Benedict XV, Pius XI, and Pius XII), the former Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto was not in the diplomatic service of the Holy See at any time during the nearly forty-five years of his priesthood prior to his rather remarkable election as the Successor of Saint Peter on August 4, 1903. He was not prone to accept the word of diplomats, and he did not suffer lies and misrepresentations easily.

The farm boy from Riese, Italy, who served as a pastor of souls in a rough-and-tumble Italian cow town, Tombolo, and then in Salzano before becoming Bishop of Mantua and the Cardinal Patriarch of Venice, was always close to Our Lady. This tender devotion to Our Lady, which he learned from his saintly mother, helped him to keep close to the sheep even when he was the Vicar of Christ on earth.

Thanks to the sign given him by the life and death of Little Nellie of Holy God, Pope Saint Pius X was the advocate of early First Communion (and early Confirmation) and of frequent Communions. It is no accident at all that the now retired Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI made no reference to the centenary of Pascendi Dominci Gregis on September 8, 2007. Ratzinger/Benedict made absolutely no reference on August 15, 2010, to the centenary of Pope Saint Pius X's Notre Charge Apostolique, which was a ringing condemnation of the false philosophy of the Sillon that is of the essence of conciliarism. He made no reference to the one hundredth anniversary of The Oath Against Modernism on September 1, 1910 (see Witness Against Benedict XVI: The Oath Against Modernism).

How could he?

He stands condemned by the very words in these documents issued by Pope Saint Pius X.

So does the man who ignored the one hundredth anniversary of Papa Sarto's death, Jorge Mario Bergolio, back on August 20, 2014.

The contrast between the Catholicism of Pope Saint Pius X, a defender of the Social Reign of Christ the King and the confessional Catholic civil state, and the conciliarism of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who has denounced "restorationists" as "Pelagian" and "hard-headed" Pharisees while defending "healthy laicism" and "religious liberty" and the "separation of Church and State, could not be more clear.

Here is the Collect for today's feast in the Immemorial Mass of Tradition:

"O God, who for the defense of the Catholic Faith and the restoration of all things in Christ didst fill Saint Pius, Supreme Pontiff, with heavenly wisdom and apostolic courage: grant in Thy loving kindness that by following his teachings and examples we may attain eternal rewards. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, forever and ever. Amen."

Pope Saint Pius X opposed Modernism.

So must we as we refuse any "communion" at all with conciliarism or its false shepherds who are at war with the Catholic Faith.

The next original commentary should be published in a few days. Unlike this past week, which was filled with medical appointments and tests, I should have plenty of uninterrupted time to complete the work that I need to do on the next commentary. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Pius X, pray for us!

With apologies for the delays that kept this commentary from being posted until now, this new commentary deals with Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s colloquy with his fellow Jesuit revolutionaries in Portugal when he was in that country for world hootenanny day.

Another new commentary should appear in a few days.

As always, non-tax-deductible financial gifts are welcome and are quite necessary at this time. I have to raise the requisite twenty percent co-pay to fund necessary cataract removal surgery in about two months, if not a little sooner.

Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Stephen of Hungary, pray for us.

This is a revised and enlarged reflection on Saint Stephen, King of Hungary, who was zealous to convert pagans to the true Faith and thus establish the peace and justice of Christ the King in his land. He is yet another contrast to concilairism's false doctrines of "religious liberty" and "separation of Church and State."

An original article will be published within thirty minutes of this posting. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Stephen of Hungary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Pius X, pray for us.

This is a revised and enlarged version of my reflection on the life of Saint Rose of Lima, a member of the Third Order of Penance of the Order of Preachers of Saint Dominic de Guzman.

Among many other works in her devout life of prayer and austere penances, Saint Rose, who lived among a cluster of saints in Lima, Peru, exhorted the people of Lima to gather in their churches and pray their Rosaries to turn back a pending invasion of their city by a fleet of those virulent anti-Catholics, the Dutch Calvinists. Those hideous people with their diabolical beliefs that have nothing at all to do with Christianity turned back as a result of the Rosaries that were prayed to repel them in their designs to invade Lima and to sack Catholic churches and to desecrated the Most Blessed Sacrament images of the Mother of God.

May we pray to Saint Rose of Lima so that we will remain faithful to the daily recitation of Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary as the powerful weapon, after Holy Mass itself, to turn back the enemies of Christ the King in the world and in the counterfeit church of conciliarism.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Rose of Lima, pray for us.

Saints Felix and Adauctus, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of the Decollation of Saint John the Baptist and the Commemoration of Saint Sabina. I am republishing a revised reflection on this feast.  

The next original article on this site will be part five of the occasional series, "Benedictus Qui Venit in Nomine Domini," about the continuing, indiscriminate barbarism being practiced by the Zionist Israelis upon all Palestinians.  

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Saint Sabina, pray for us..
