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.

Work on the next original article is being impeded by excruciating pain in my lower lumbar spine caused by severe rotary scoliosis, meaning my spine curves sideways at more than a forty degree angle on the Cobb scale of measuring spinal curvature. This is superb and very richly deserved penance, which I accept with joy and gratitude as means to glorify the Most Holy Trinity and to make a bit of small reparation for my sins by offering up this penance to the throne of the Most Holy Trinity as the consecrated slave of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. Bear with me, good readers. I will try to work some more on the next original article today and will post it as soon as I can. I have another one to complete thereafter. Prayers would be appreciated at this time.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Pontianus I, pray for us.

Herewith is a brief commentary on the never-ending agitation caused by the needless strife of partisan politics.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Albert the Great, pray for us.

This is a republished reflection on the life and martrydom of Saint Josaphat Kuncewicz, whose feast is celebrated today.

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.

My commentary on tthe midterm elections is still a work in progress. Although it was possible as late as five or six years ago to continue to work well after Midnight to complete such an article, such is no longer possible. Thus, I will continue work on it on the morrow and hope to complete it for posting by Tuesday, November 15, 2022, the feast of my own baptismal patron saint, Saint Albert the Great. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Josaphat Kuncewicz, pray for us.

[I have been waiting for some further clarity on the recent excercise in Judeo-Masonic naturalism to run its course before completing my detailed commentary on the spectacle that is as yet unfolding in Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. Enough is known now, however, for me to proceed to the completion of my commentary,  which should be posted by Monday, November 14, 2022, the Feast of Saint Josaphat. Also, the full text of Senor Jorge's press conference that has made some news of its own if not yet available in English. I will complete part two of "For Without Me You Can Nothing" after this occurs" before returning to part nineteen of "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus." Thank you.]

This is the first part of a two-part series dealing with Jorge Mario Bergoglio's recent trip to Bahrain. 

Although only a few excerpts from three of Bergoglio's screeds are reviewed in this commentary, those selected are representative of the apostasy that has evolved over the decades within the nooks and crannies of the counterfeit church of conciliarism.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

All the Saints, pray for us.

The Four Holy Crowned Martyrs, pray for us.

You may have noticed that things move more slowly on this site when compared to even the recent past, to say nothing of the halcyon days when I could churn out as many as twenty to twenty-five original articles a month. Things move more slowly now because I move more slowly than I ever have at any point in the previous nearly seventy-one years. I am a sight to behold as I hobble along when out in the public running errands for the family. Penance is better than ever in 2022 and paert of that penance includes rheumatoid arthritis in my right hand on top of the injury I sustained a month ago in a fall off some steep steps on our property has made typing a challenge at times. Thus, articles get produced as I am able to get them completed. Thank you for your patience.

Indeed, I have been working on part nineteen of “Sin: More Dangerous Than the Coronavirus” in the past week before I interrupted that work to pay attention to Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s now-completed trip to Bahrain for his usual displays of denying Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ before those who do not believe in His Sacred Divinity if only by omitting all mention of Our Divine King and speaking of God in the generic terms favored by his Mohammedan audiences. I do hope to have that article completed by posting tomorrow, the Octave Day of All Saints and the Commemoration of the Four Holy Crowned Martyrs, and then will start working on a post-election analysis before resuming work on the coronavirus segment.

The daunting task of going through the recently released “continental report” for the 2024 “synod of bishops” that is nothing other than the further elimination of all vestiges of apparent Catholicism from the life of the counterfeit church of conciliarism awaits me after part nineteen of “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus” is posted. For the moment, however, a reflection from three months ago, Jean-Claude Hollerich Wants to Listen to "The People," The Catholic Church Speaks for God, may be useful when considering the current “synodal path” of doctrinal and moral destruction, deformation, and disinformation.

An article from June 19, 2021, the Feast of Saint Juliana Falconieri and the Commemoration of Saints Gervase and Protase, is being republished today, Monday, November 7, 2022, to remind readers of the immorality and the physical dangers associated with marijuana, whose legalization is only the ballot in four more states tomorrow, Tuesday, November 8, 2022.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

All the Saints, pray for us.

Our one and only goal in this life is to get home to Heaven by dying in a state of Sanctifying Grace as a member of the Catholic Church. Absolutely nothing else matters. The path to Heaven runs through the Cross of our Divine Redeemer, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, as we consecrate ourselves to Him totally through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of His Most Blessed Mother. We must embrace suffering and humiliation and hardship with equanimity, joy and gratitude, mindful of the fact that Our Lady desires use whatever merits we earn from our embrace of our sufferings for the honor and glory of the Most Blessed Trinity and for the good of souls, especially the Poor Souls in the Church Suffering in Purgatory, whose intentions we must remember every day and especially during this month of November. There is no other path to the triumph of the empty tomb other than the suffering of the Cross.

We must also forgive right readily those who have offended us in any way and to ask forgiveness from those whom we have offended, whether advertently or inadvertently. Nothing anyone does to us or says about us is the equal of what one of our least Venial Sins caused Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during his Passion and Death and that caused His Most Blessed Mother's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart to be pierced through and through with Seven Swords of Sorrow. The good, the bad and the ugly of ever person's life is revealed only on the Last Day at the General Judgment of the living and the dead. Let us be content to bear with suffering, humiliation, ostracism and mockery now as a means of so dying to self that we will consider it to be a great honor to be crushed and brought low in the sight of men. Suffering is indeed the path to triumph!

We must continue to pray for each other on a daily basis, praying especially that the disagreements of the present moment in this time of apostasy and betrayal will be washed away by the merits of the Most Precious Blood of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and by the maternal intercession of His Most Blessed Mother. If we want to be in Heaven for all eternity, you see, in the presence of the Most Blessed Trinity, Our Lady, Saint Joseph and all of the angels of the saints, then it is a pretty good idea to pray for everyone whom God's Providence has placed in our paths, hoping that those from whom we might be estranged at the present time, especially because of the divisions among Catholics created by conciliarism and its apostasies, will be united with us for all eternity in the glories of Heaven, please God that each of us dies in a state of Sanctifying Grace.

One of ways in which we can practice true Charity is to remember the Poor Souls every day in our prayers. Terrible, terrible sinner that I am, one of my devotions has long been to the Poor Souls. To help the Poor Souls repay the debt that they can no longer pay for themselves is to acquire friends for eternity who will help us at the moment of our own deaths. Charity to the Poor Souls can help to undo our own uncharity to others in this passing, mortal vale of tears. This is indeed the month of the Poor Souls. Let us show them our due attention each and every day of the year, especially in this month of November.

Remember, of course, that from noon yesterday, Monday, November 1, 2022, through midnight today, November 2, 2022, the Commemoration of All Souls, the Catholic faithful, as often as they visit a church or to pray for the dead, reciting six times during each visit the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be for the intentions of Holy Mother Church may gain a plenary indulgence applicable only to the souls in Purgatory, under the usual conditions of making a good Confession within a week before or after, worthily receiving Holy Communion within the week and having the right intention of heart. This is called the Toties Quoties Indulgence.

Also, courtesy of the Daily Catholic website, are the Thirty-Day De Profundis Prayers for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.

Our Lady of Deliverance, pray for the Poor Souls and for us.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Finally, I invite the readers of this website who are not aware of the fact before now to join in the fifty-four day Rosary Novena that Father Louis J. Campbell, who was ordained to the Holy Priesthood on September 3, 1961, for the Order of Saint Augustine and turns ninety years of age this very day, All Saints Day, is starting for the following intentions:

1. That the whole world is converted to Christ and the True Faith, along with the re-establishment and restoration of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church here on earth, with its True Mass, Sacraments, Priests & Bishops, Holy Nuns, Brothers, Church Militant, and fervent love for Christ on earth.
2. For the repose of all of the holy souls in Purgatory.
3. For the spiritual and temporal welfare of our families and our friends.
4. We ask that the scourges of globalism, communism, socialism, and their efforts to eliminate God from us, are crushed.
5. For our protection from all unlawful and wrongful authority.
6. For protection of Christians persecuted and slaughtered by the forces of evil throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East and Nigeria. That the enemies of Our Lord be confounded, thwarted, and brought to shame--and that they be converted.
7. To protect the innocence of all the children on earth from the horrors being perpetrated against them. Please, God, protect the unborn children from being aborted. Protect children from predators, pedophiles, child traffickers and from having their innocence stolen by the teaching of evil indoctrination.

Please see Saint Jude Shrine - 54 Day Novena for relevant information and links.  Also, I ask you to pray for Father Campbell on his ninetieth birthday today and to thank him for his sixty-one years of priesthood, including the last twenty-one as pastor of Saint Jude Shrine in Stafford, Texas, which was our own spiritual home whenever we were based in our motor home (which was sold eleven and one-half years ago, believe it or not) in Sugar Land, Texas. Happy birthday, Father Campbell!

A blessed All Saints Day to you all!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

All the Saints, pray for us.

This is the Feast of Christ the King, which is a very good time to remind the readers of this website that Our King does not want us to live in constant states of fear and agitation. The only thing we need to fear sin and thus the loss of our souls for all eternity.

Three older reflections have been republished for your consideration. Part nineteen of “Sin: More Dangerous Than the Coronavirus” should be completed within the coming week before I tackle the latest revolutionary blueprint emanating from the destroyers of the faith behind the walls of the Occupied Vatican on the West Bank of the Tiber River.

A blessed Feast of Christ the King to you all.

Vivat Christus Rex!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

As today is the Feast of Christ the King, I thought that it would be useful to republish contrast of the  promise made by kings contained in Catholic Coronation Rite as found in the 1896 Pontificale Romanum to “cut off the mass of iniquity” with our own very blithe and passive acceptance of the “mass of iniquity” as evil keeps being advanced, whether at an accelerated rate by the coercive power of the civil state or at more imperceptible rate by means of its being institutionalized slowly so that people can become used to its acceptance, no matter which organized crime family of naturalism is in power.

This is not a commentary about the election. “Naturally Absurd, part four,” will focus on the election later this week. However, the purpose of this new commentary is to explain that what we accept for “leadership” and “progress” is laughable when compared to what Holy Mother Church required of kings during the era of Chrisendom.

Vivat Christus Rex!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of the Universal Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Commemoration of the Twentieth-third Sunday after Pentecost.

Another republished reflection on this feast day will follow shortly before and original commentary is published. Thank you. 

Vivat Christus Rex!

Viva Cristo Rey!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
