Herewith is the concluding part of my series discussing Dignitatis Infinita.

The next commentary on this site will be about Victor Manuel Fernandez's belief that Catholic teaching must be "changed" to make those inclined to the commission of sins against nature "feel at home." It will be thereafter that I will again address some of the madness taking place in the mad world of naturalism.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Paul of the Cross, pray for us.

Saint Vitalis, pray for us.

Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort, pray for us.

Saint Peter Chanel, pray for us.

I offer those who still access this site a reflection Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort's exhortations to avoid worldliness by becoming friends of the Cross and by being truly devoted to Our Lady as the consecrated slave of her Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through her own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart.

A new commentary will be published within fifteen minutes. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Paul of the Cross, pray for us.

Saint Vitalis, pray for us.

Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort, pray for us.

Saint Peter Chanel, pray for us.

There will a sixth installment in this series published tomorrow, the Feast of Saint Peter Canisius, S.J., as this fifth part covered Dignitatis Infinita's treatment of "sex abuse," "violence against women," and "abortion" in great detail.

I am well aware that many things, most of them salacious, are happening in the mad, mad. mad, mad world in which we are living. However, I am remaining focused on this current series and promise to get caught up by the end of this coming week on non-salacious issues on which I think this site can make a useful contribution.

Speaking of contributions, they are also welcomed, quite of course!

Our Lady of Good Counsel, pray for us.

Popes Saints Cletus and Marcellinus, pray for us.

This is part four of my ongoing series about Dignitatis Infinita. This segment analyzes the document's treatment of war, "the travail of migrants," and human trafficking. 

There will be one more part of this series and then another commentary about Victor Manuel Fernandez's stated belief that Catholic teaching concerning the "intrinsically disordered" nature of perverse sins in violation of the Sixth and Ninth Commandments has to "change" because of the "love" exhibited by those committing sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, pray for us.

I am offering a republished reflection on the life and martyrdom of Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, O.F.M., Cap., the Protomartyr of the Capuchin Franciscans and the patron saint of the Society for the Propagation of the faith, today, Wednesday, April 24, 2024, which is also the Octave Day of the Solmenity of Saint Joseph in those venues observing the General Roman Calendar of 1954.

Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, O.F.M., Cap. opposed false ecumenism with his very life. Unlike the conciliar "popes" and their "episcopal" henchmen, Saint Fidelis came to "extirpate heresy, not to embrace it."

Part four of my current series will be published in a few moments.

May God have mercy on us all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, O.F.M., Cap., pray for us.

Herewith is part three of my current series. This part discusses the shallow nature and errors contained in Dignitatis Infinita’s “drama of poverty” section.

The actual text of this segment is only fifteen pages. However, there are six appendices to provide documentary support for many of the points made within the commentary’s main text. The appendices are meant to provide information for those who have either forgotten points that I have made on numerous occasions or have never read them in the first place.

Work now commences on part four, which might be posted in about twenty-four hours. Maybe.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Popes Saints Soter and Caius, pray for us.

As I am still working at this late/early hour on part three of my current series, I believe that more profitable use of my time right now is to provide the readers of this site with two of Father Francis X. Weninger’s short and concise sermons for this, the Third Sunday after Easter.

It is my hope to have part three of the current series published by tomorrow, the Feast of Saints Soter and Caius.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Saint Anselm, pray for us.

This is part two of my continuing series.

This segment discusses some of the foundational "sources" upon which Dignitatis Infinita has been based. The next segment will review the document's treatment of what is called "the drama of poverty" and the "plight of migrants.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

This is the first of a multi-part series examining Dignitatis Infinita, April 2, 2024. 

This initial installment focuses on part of Victor Manuel Fernandez's prefece to the text of Dignitatis Infinita, a document that is a vintage concilar production in that it insidiously combines truth with error and conflates issues such as the "drama of poverty" and the "plight of migrants" "moral truths" that take precedence over the chemical and surgical execution of preborn children. Significantly, there is no mention of sodomy within the text of Dignitatis Infinita, an omission that Fernandez himself discussed a day afer the document was released publicly on April 8, 2024, the Transferred Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as he believes that what he think is the Catholic Church will have to "change" its teaching that acts against nature are intrinsically disordered.  

This series will take many days to complete, and I will probably give myself a break now and again to discuss other subjects in between the segments before the series is completed. 

Finally, there is a closing section on the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, which is observed today in those traditional venues that follow the General Roman Calendar of 1954.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

As mentioned yesterday, this commentary deals with the reaction to the Arizona State Supreme Court decision that upheld the enforceablility of a statue first passed in 1864 by the Arizona Territorial Legislature and then codified anew in 1901 and again in 1913, one year after Arizona gained statehood. 

Although an entirely original composition, there is nothing essential "new" in this commentary, only a forceful reiteration of points made repeatedly throughout the years of my college teaching and as a Catholic writer: Christ the King is Sovereign, not the "will of the people."

This commentary has been revised slightly in the section after I explain that not "everybody" wants what former President Donald John Trump says they do, namely, a "return" of "decision-making" about baby butchery to the states, which is where the whole matter began to begin with back in the 1960s:

Not even the pro-aborts want what Donald John Trump says "everybody" wants as even they never wanted Roe v. Wade to be overturned in the first place, no less to give the "people" a "say" about baby-killing, although they are gleefully exploiting baby-butchery's legal and cultural institutionalization in the fifty-one years since January 22, 1973, to curry favor with the masses who believe that women have a "choice" to do that which no human being has authority to do anything other than to obey God and to give love to children, not submit them to a baby butcher for their execution. 

Sure, many of the so-called "federalists," "constitutionalists," and libertarians advising former President Donald John Trump to speak as he has been doing in the past year are content to live with baby-butchery if that is what the "people" decide, but so what?

Is it necessary to point out that the decriminalization of baby-butchery began in state legislatures in the 1960s?

I suppose that it is, so here goes (whereupon commences a brief history of how surgical baby-butchery gained ground in various state legislatures according to the "will of the people").

The “people” have no sovereignty over the binding precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural law.

The next original commentary will be an analysis of the anthropocentric Dignitatis Infinita. Look for the commentary by Tuesday, April 16, 2024.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
