"Ain't It Da Truth"

Although I had thought that Jorge Mario Bergoglio might give an antipapal medal or honor of some sort to soon-to-be former president in name only Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., the tragic wildfires in southern California are keeping octogenarian reprobate home until he crawls back into the basement of Wilmington, Delaware, residence precisely one week from today.

While I still think that the Argentine Apostate will bestow some kind of honor upon the Delaware Grifter sooner or later, the latter chosen to give the former the Presidential Medal of Freedom:

President Joe Biden awarded Pope Francis with the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction, the highest U.S. civilian honor, the White House announced on Saturday.

Biden, the nation's second Catholic president, called Pope Francis to award him the medal. It's the only time Biden has given out that specific award during his four-year term.

The pope and Biden were initially scheduled to meet next week in Rome during the president's final trip out of the country, but the overseas visit got cancelled because of the Los Angeles wildfires.

In his call with the pope, Biden "expressed his deep regret that he was unable to visit Rome and Vatican City," the White House said.

"They also discussed efforts to advance peace around the world, including Pope Francis’ work to alleviate suffering for vulnerable communities," according to the White House statement.

The citation for the award describes the head of the Catholic Church and the bishop of Rome who hails from Argentina as "the first pope from the Southern Hemisphere."

"Pope Francis is unlike any who came before. Above all, he is the People's Pope – a light of faith, hope, and love that shines brightly across the world," it says. (After nixed trip to Vatican City, Biden awards Pope Francis the highest US civilian honor.)

From the mouths of corrupt octogenarians: “Pope Francis is unlike any who came before.”

To quote Irving Lahrheim (aka Bert Lahr) as The Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz, “Ain’t it da truth? Ain’t it da truth.” (Please, no letters about this quote. I watched the movie as a child and know the lines. I came to realize in the 1970s that the movie was a blasphemous attack upon the existence of God by showing the wizard to be a fraud and also by mocking Our Lord's Ascension with the "wizard's" return to Kansas in a balloon after he had deputized the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion to rule in his place. The movie was offensive. Granted, but the "ain't it da truth" line fits here. Thank you.)

Well, actually, the Presidential Medal of Freedom citation is only partially true as the only thing truly different about Jorge Mario Bergoglio in comparison to his five predecessors in the current line of antipopes that began with the “election” of Angelo Roncalli/John XXIII on October 28, 1958, the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, is that he is a profane, vulgar, obscene version of a Modernist spokesman whereas his immediate predecessor, Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, was seen as the “scholarly” “theologian” who cultivated a supposed urbanity and refinement as he  propagated such Modernist bilge as the “hermeneutic of continuity, which was nothing other than the philosophically absurd and dogmatically condemned Modernist doctrine of dogmatic evolutionism. Bergoglio and his fellow Jacobin/Modernist fiends have thrown off the mask of pretense used by Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini/Paul VI, Karol Joszef Wojtyla/John Paul II, and Ratzinger/Benedict to openly embrace dogmatic evolutionism.

A true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter is the Vicar of Christ whose duty it is to teach the truths of the Holy Faith and to safeguard Catholic Worship and Morals without regard to what “the people” think as the “people” must conform themselves to all that is contained Divine Revelation and not expect Holy Mother Church to do what is beyond her Divine Constitution to do, namely, conform her teaching to please the “people” in their sins.

Joseph Robinette Biden, the pro-abortion, pro sodomite, pro-statist, pro-repression of “dissenting” convictions, morally and ethically corrupt president in name only who leaves office at noon on Monday, January 20, 2025, the Feast of Saints Fabian and Sebastian, has much in common with the enabler of actual baby-killers such as Emma Bonino and of pro-abortion politician, enabler and apologist for sodomy, apostasy and epic murderer of souls, Jorge Mario Bergoglio,

Consider the fact that Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. has gone to great lengths to cover-up his own influence peddling and that of his son Hunter and his brothers James and Frank Biden, something that was documented by United States Representative James Comer (R-Kentucky) as follows:

In his final days at the White House, President Biden is preparing to deliver multiple speeches in an effort to shape his legacy. But make no mistake: the history books on Joe Biden are already written.

Let’s rewind for a moment back to January 2023, when the House Oversight Committee began to investigate Biden’s involvement in his family’s corrupt influence-peddling operation.

According to Joe Biden, everything Hunter Biden did was “ethical;” no member of the Biden family took money from China or other foreign entities; he knew nothing about his son’s business dealings; and he never met with or spoke with any of the foreign nationals who had wired the Biden family money. 

Let’s now fast forward to January 2025. 

Today, Americans know Joe Biden lied about his involvement in his family’s business schemes and Congressional Democrats and Corporate Media acted to cover it up.

This lie was concocted to mislead the American people and shield President Biden and his family from accountability for their corruption.   

Despite the endless stonewalling from the Biden Administration, the House Oversight Committee obtained access to over 150 suspicious activity reports generated by the Biden family and their associates’ foreign high-dollar transactions, subpoenaed the Bidens’ and their associates’ bank records to follow their money trail, uncovered 20 shell companies they set up to hide shady foreign payments they received, and deposed key Biden family members and business associates.       

Our investigation has exposed the truth and defined Joe Biden’s legacy of corruption. In my upcoming book titled “All the President’s Money,” I take you behind the scenes of the most successful congressional investigation in US history.

This Oversight Committee investigation exposed Biden’s repeated lies, abuse of public office, and direct involvement in influence-peddling schemes that enriched the Biden family to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. Here’s how:

Lies: The president’s decision to repeatedly push lies was an effort to protect himself.

Joe Biden told the American people he never spoke to Hunter Biden about the family’s business dealings and that his family never took money from China.

Evidence obtained by our committee revealed that then-Vice President Biden spoke, dined, or had coffee with nearly all of Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates.

Devon Archer, a Biden family associate, confirmed during a transcribed interview that Joe Biden dined with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, Kazakhstani oligarch Kenes Rakishev, and Burisma’s corporate secretary Vadym Pozharsky at Café Milano in Washington, DC.

These foreign nationals or their affiliated entities funneled millions of dollars to Hunter Biden.

According to Devon Archer, Joe Biden also met with Jonathan Li, a Chinese national who was Hunter Biden’s associate.

Recently released photos by the National Archives show then-Vice President Joe Biden meeting with Jonathan Li and his son’s other Chinese government-linked business partners — again proving that the president lied.

The Committee also revealed how Joe Biden received thousands of dollars that originated from a CCP-linked company in his personal bank account. When confronted with the fact that his family did indeed receive money from China, President Biden doubled down on the lie and said it was not true that his family received money from China.

Corruption: Bank records don’t lie.

Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates’ business schemes were subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee. The bank records we reviewed uncovered 20 shell companies formed by the Bidens – most of which were created when Joe Biden was Vice President.

The Bidens and their associates then raked in over $27 million through these shell companies from China, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Romania.

At least 10 members of the Biden family benefited or participated in these schemes and the Bidens layered these payments through their bank accounts to hide the sources of the money.

Banks even flagged many of these Biden family transactions in more than 150 suspicious activity reports to the Treasury Department. Bank investigators noted that some transactions served “no current business purpose.” According to Biden family associate Devon Archer, Joe Biden was “the brand” the Bidens sold around the world.

Weeks after Joe Biden left the Vice Presidency, money from a CCP-linked entity began to make its way to the bank accounts of several Biden family members. Ask any Justice Department public corruption investigator about the importance of payments received after one leaves public office. It’s a hallmark of corruption.

Obstruction: The Biden Administration sought to obstruct this investigation every step of the way.

The White House refused to permit the National Archives to release all documents requested after they identified that Joe Biden emailed the Biden family and their businesses over 29,000 times.

IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler confirmed under oath that the Department of Justice also prohibited them from following evidence that would have led to Joe Biden during the federal criminal investigation of Hunter Biden.

This much is certain: Joe Biden knew of, benefitted from, and participated in his family’s influence-peddling schemes. This president will be remembered for tarnishing his positions of public trust by allowing his family to put his power, protection, and influence up for sale.

You can take that to the bank.  (How Joe Biden became America's obstructor-in-chief.)

Biden and Bergoglio have a lot in common in this regard as the man who has grown to Orson Welles/Marlon Brando/Raymond Burr proportions in the past nearly twelve years in his starring role as the masquerading “Pope Francis” has covered up clerical abuse cases of his fellow Jacobin/Bolshevik Modernist revolutionaries during his time as the conciliar “archbishop” of Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 1998 to 2013 (although he was the coadjutor “archbishop” for eight months have having an auxiliary “bishop” in Buenos Aires since 1992) and, of course, ever since March 13, 2013, including the notorious cases of Theodore Edgar McCarrick and his fellow Jesuit lay revolutionary, Marko Rupnik (see Woman goes public with sordid details on Jesuit abuse claims), and has been as welcoming to mutants who have undergone chemical and surgical procedures in the vain attempt to accomplish the ontological impossibility of changing their genders while mocking the God created them as either a man or a woman as has been Biden and the assortment of deviates who have served in his wretched administration:

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — A frustrated Vatican employee has alleged that Pope Francis is giving preference to the “gay lobby” when it comes to decision making.

In an anonymous interview with Italian media outlet Panorama, a member of the Vatican’s labor union complained that not only are fellow employees dissatisfied with Francis’s alleged financial management, but that he gives strong preference to those who are in favor of the homosexual agenda.

“You can’t move up unless you’re a friend of one of the two lobbies that count: either the ‘gay lobby,’ which is extensive and very powerful, or the ‘Santa Marta Club’ around the Pope,” the person, who went by the initials “G.F.” told the outlet.

The person further remarked that if “you want to join, you can’t read newspapers of the center-right and you have to speak Spanish.” You “have to be green, pro-migrant and, above all, pro-Palestinian. For them, Nicolas Maduro is a saint, and Donald Trump is a devil.”

The influence of the homosexual lobby in the Church is not mere speculation. LifeSite has presented extensive documentation of the group’s efforts for years. Its power over Francis is indicated by, among other things, his papal appointments, treatment of homosexual groups, and other signs of obvious favoritism.

Just this month Francis named 21 new Cardinals, among them pro-LGBT Dominican priest Father Timothy Radcliffe. Francis has also elevated the public profile of pro-LGBT Jesuit priest James Martin by repeatedly praising his work and his heretical group Outreach. What’s more, Francis recently greeted a US-based transgender hermit at the Vatican and has often welcomed other groups of gender-confused persons to the Vatican.

Additionally, Francis is believed to have personally intervened to rehabilitate Fr. Marko Rupnik, who was removed from the Jesuit order and excommunicated after having been credibly accused of sexually and spiritually abusing numerous people, including nuns and male victims. Francis also appointed Fr. Robert Pasolini, who supports a pro-homosexual reading of the Bible, as the preacher of the Papal Household. Perhaps worst of all, Francis approved the heretical Fiducia Supplicans declaration, which permits priests to give blessings to homosexual couples.

“G.F.” also told Panorama that Vatican employees may publicly express more frustration with their compensation packages, stating that “we’ve had the impression that Pope Francis governs Vatican finances with suspicion and partiality.”

The Association of Lay Vatican Employees responded in a statement to the comments by noting that while “many in the Vatican are concerned about possible cuts to salaries and pensions” the Panorama interview is not helpful because it “does nothing other than to create confusion and to throw employees into panic.” (Vatican employee says ‘gay lobby’ wields enormous influence over Pope Francis. Those desiring to brush up on the McCarrick cover-up can read: "Uncle Teddy" McCarrick and the Conciliar Cesspool of Corruption, Make That 224 Red Hats--and Two White Cassocks--To Go, Please,  Empty Words from Empty Men, Another Front in the Conciliar Civil War, part two, Another Front in the Conciliar Civil War, part three, Another Front in the Conciliar Civil War, part four, Another Front in the Conciliar Civil War, part five.)

In addition to Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s appointing several unapologetic apologists for perversity to the conciliar “college of cardinals” (see Red Hats for Men as Lavender as Truman Capote) the Argentine Apostate has taken great delight in “making a mess of things” as a champion of “accompanying” hardened sinners in their lives of perversity and demanding that his priests/presbyters/ “bishops” bless sodomite unions (see Jorge Demands That His Clergy Suborn Sins That Cry Out to Heaven for Vengeance, Jorge Demands that His Clergy Suborn Sins That Cry Out to Heaven for Vengeance, part two, Two Argentine Fiends Patronize African “Bishops” In Defense of Sodomy, Bergoglio and Fernandez: Men Who Extol and Enable the Impure) and, despite all his crocodile tears shed while “apologizing” for clergy abuse, has kept promoting men such as Robert McElroy in spite—or perhaps because—of their consistent record of “inclusivity” by protecting clergy abusers and disparaging their victims:

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — While Pope Francis decried any form of neglect or maltreatment of children on Wednesday, numerous commentators have opined that by appointing Cardinal Robert McElroy to the Archdiocese of Washington, Francis shows he has no regard for the victims of sexual abuse.

“Brothers and sisters, the disciples of Jesus Christ must never allow children to be neglected or mistreated, to be deprived of their rights, not to be loved or protected,” commented Francis, towards the end of his weekly general audience on January 8. “Christians have the duty to earnestly prevent and firmly condemn violence or abuse against children.”

Francis also condemned forced child labor and critiqued a global “economy that does not respect life; an economy that, in so doing, consumes our greatest store of hope and love.”

As so often has happened during the course of Francis’ pontificate, the Pontiff’s words appear in stark contrast to his actions. Take for instance his words and actions on abortion: while making moderately regular condemnations of abortion as being akin to “hiring a hitman,” Francis has simultaneously courted leading lights and activists of the pro-abortion movement without any change in their abortion advocacy, even praising their values. Italy’s Emma Bonino is one such example.

Thus, while Francis rightly condemned the poor treatment and neglect of children in his speech, once again his recent actions have suggested otherwise.

In appointing Cardinal Robert McElroy as Archbishop of Washington on Monday, Francis may have preemptively demonstrated how hollow his Wednesday address was.

“One could say many things about the McElroy appointment,” commented theologian and author Larry Chapp. “But one thing is now certain. Pope Francis doesn’t care at all about the victims of priestly sexual abuse since he has just promoted a bishop who has covered up sexual abuse. From Rupnik to Zanchetta and now McElroy. Pope Francis does not care about clerical sexual abuse.”

After McElroy was raised to lead the Diocese of San Diego in 2015 and then named as cardinal in 2022, Rachel Mastrogiacomo, a victim of clerical sexual abuse, said “that McElroy will be setting policy for the Church, and likely be involved in the selection of the next pontiff, fills me with fear.”

Last May, the lead Vatican official overseeing instances of abuse stated that some 77 percent of cases he receives involve child abuse. For anyone truly concerned with eradicating the neglect or maltreatment of children – or souls of any age – promoting clerics who have an exemplary record in this regard should be key.

But McElroy himself is known to have kept priests in ministry after allegations of sexual abuse have been substantiated, and was accused of refusing to cooperate in the investigation of what turned out to be a satanic ritual rape against Mastrogiacomo by a priest of the diocese.

As recently as this past September, Mastrogiacomo and another abuse victim wrote an open letter to the Pope via the U.S. Nuncio imploring them to discipline McElroy for his cover up of abuse.

“How can you and other bishops turn a blind eye to these betrayals?” Mastrogiacomo asked the Pope. “When you refuse to investigate and discipline priests who ritually abuse little girls like Lisa or virgins like me, you send a message that we are not worth protecting. Worst of all, you send a message that Our Eucharistic Lord is not worth protecting.”

Following McElroy’s move to Washington, Mastrogiacomo penned an impassioned response:

Every time this man gets promoted to the highest echelons of the Church, victims are raped again and a little stay at home mother who chose to take a brave stand for them experiences the throes of public shame and a private agony that knows no bounds. That woman happens to be me.

Her thoughts were shared by author and theologian Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, who wrote that “McElroy should be rotting in a jail cell, not given a lofty position in the hierarchy. But that’s how criminals reward one another: birds of a feather flock together.”

McElroy is also notorious among U.S. Catholics for his non-action regarding the alleged serial predations of Theodore McCarrick.

The prelate was informed about McCarrick’s actions at least by 2016, when Dr. A.W. Richard Sipe, one of the foremost experts on clerical sex abuse and the prevalence of sexually active clergy, sent a 16-page letter to McElroy detailing McCarrick’s alleged abuse. The letter was then published by Sipe on his website in 2018 for all to read.

In his bombshell 2018 testimony about McCarrick, former U.S. Nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò attested that McElroy was aware of McCarrick’s abuses, and that Viganò was instructed by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin to keep the San Diego episcopate open for McElroy.

“McElroy being made Cardinal was like giving McCarrick his red hat back,” commented Crisis magazine editor Eric Sammons in a 2022 social media post re-shared Monday.

Expanding on this, Sammons opined that “McElroy is far more connected to McCarrick than just ideological agreement. He is, in many ways, a perfect successor to Theodore McCarrick, someone he worked to protect.”

The amassed testimonies and McElroy’s public record document that McElroy worked to cover-up and protect McCarrick. Indeed, McElroy was one of the U.S. bishops who voted against a USCCB measure which would have pushed the Vatican for more transparency on McCarrick, back in November 2018.

For those who hold fast to the truth behind the phrases “personnel is policy,” McElroy is serving as the living example of this. While Francis may call for better protection of the young and vulnerable, his elevation of McElroy to the D.C. see demonstrates that his actual regard for them is somewhat different to what his words suggest. (Pope Francis' remarks on sex abuse ring hollow after appointing McElroy as DC bishop.)

Yes, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who are only six years apart in age (Bergoglio was born on December 19, 1936, and Biden was born on November 20, 1942), are very much united in being masters of deceit, mendacity, cover-ups, prevarication, and an arrogant denunciation of those who dare to call their wicked behavior by its proper name. They have also been quite united in their respective vaccine mandates and their concomitant insistence on denouncing critics of those poisoned jabs, in their promotion of the junk science of climate change, and the destruction of national sovereignty by means of their open borders policies that have taken the lives of many innocent Americans and has been responsible for the spread of Venezuelan crime violence in many parts of the United States of America.

It should also be remembered that Jorge Mario Bergoglio has insisted that the pro-abortion, pro-sodomite Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., keep receiving what purports to be Holy Communion in the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical abomination when he met with the soon-to-be former president in name only on October 29, 2021:

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — After their much-anticipated meeting in the Vatican, President Joe Biden said to reporters Pope Francis had told him to “keep receiving Communion,” despite the politician’s continued, public support for abortion and LGBT ideology.

Biden asserted that the pontiff “was happy I’m a good Catholic,” and that the president should “keep receiving Communion.” (BREAKING: Pro-abortion Joe Biden says Pope Francis told him to 'keep receiving Communion'.)

This was very interesting as Jorge Mario Bergoglio is not a Catholic. He is a heretic who has mocked the truths of the Holy Faith, blasphemed both Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and His Most Blessed Mother, and who has enabled hardened sinners aplenty in the name of “accompaniment.”

Jorge Mario Bergoglio hates believing Catholics. He hates Catholic doctrine. He even hates the fact that there is a conciliar code of canon law. It thus natural for him to call a reprobate supporter and enabler of the daily slaughter of the innocent preborn by chemical and surgical means to be a “good Catholic.” Bergoglio would have called Martin Luther and Henry VIII “good Catholics” if he had met them after their break from the true Church, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order.

Although it is a slogan that used to be featured on bumper stickers during the days of the “pro-life” “pope,” Karol Josef Wojtyla/John Paul II, it is worth repeating once again that “No One Can Be Catholic and Pro-Choice.” Even that slogan is a misnomer as no one has the right from God to choose to do what is evil. One has the ability to do what is evil. However, no one has the moral authority to do so. No one is morally free to choose to sin, and it is an excommunicable sin to support the slaughter of the innocent preborn, whether by surgical or chemical means, and it is also a sin to support the sin of Sodom or to enable it in any manner whatsoever.

Wait.

It got worse:

The 75-minute, private meeting was described by Biden as “wonderful,” a word which was echoed by his wife in her own comments made to the press, before meeting French first lady Brigitte Macron in Rome.

Pope Francis and Biden met Friday, October 29, in a much-hyped meeting, as media outlets speculated whether the Pope would speak to Biden about his staunchly pro-abortion position.

Early press releases from both the White House and the Holy See Press Office briefly noted that the conversation revealed around the “world’s poor,” as well as the “climate crisis” and issues regarding COVID-19 and refugees.

Biden “thanked His Holiness for his advocacy for the world’s poor and those suffering from hunger, conflict, and persecution,” stated the White House. “He lauded Pope Francis’ leadership in fighting the climate crisis, as well as his advocacy to ensure the pandemic ends for everyone through vaccine sharing and an equitable global economic recovery.”

‘Keep receiving Communion’

As for whether the issue of abortion came up during the meeting, Biden said “it didn’t.” (BREAKING: Pro-abortion Joe Biden says Francis told him to 'keep receiving Communion'.)

Anyone at the time over three years ago now who thought that Jorge Mario Bergoglio would have spoken to Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., about the surgical assassination of preborn children was is living in as much a fantasy world as those thought that the Argentine Apostate was going to speak to Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro about the American genocide of the preborn when the two met at the Vatican on March 27, 2013, the Feast of Saint John Damascene, and again on Wednesday, September 23, 2015, the Feast of Pope Linus I and the Commemoration of Saint Thecla, at the White House in Washington, District of Columbia. Indeed, both the Biden White House and the Vatican made it in advance of that 2021 meeting that the matter would not be addressed, and it was thus absolutely no surprise that they talked about climate change and “global vaccine sharing” without mentioning a word about slaughter of the preborn. ci

For all of Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s chatter now and again about terrible abortion is, the practical truth is that he does not believe that those who support it in public life, whether Catholic or non-Catholic, are disqualified from holding any office of public trust, whether elected or appointed.

Perhaps what Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., meant by saying Bergoglio is like no other “pope” before him is an oblique reference to the fact that, despite the many ways he defected from the Holy Faith, Karol Joszef Wojtyla/John Paul II never minced any words about abortion when speaking in the presence of public officials as it was on October 7, 1979, that he said the following on the Capitol Mall during what I, who was in attendance, thought was Holy Mass as the nine justices (Chief Justice Warren Burger and Associate Justices William Brennan, Potter Stewart, Byron White, Thurgood Marshall, Harry Blackmun, Lewis Powell, William Rehnquist, and John Paul Stevens) of the Supreme Court of the United States of America sat in the front row:

This very Sunday marks the beginning of the annual Respect Life Program, through which the Church in the United States intends to reiterate its conviction regarding the inviolability of human life in all stages. Let us then, all together, renew our esteem for the value of human life, remembering also that, through Christ, all human life has been redeemed.

3. I do not hesitate to proclaim before you and before the world that all human life—from the moment of conception and through all subsequent stages—is sacred, because human life is created in the image and likeness of God. Nothing surpasses the greatness or dignity of a human person. Human life is not just an idea or an abstraction; human life is the concrete reality of a being that lives, that acts, that grows and develops; human life is the concrete reality of a being that is capable of love, and of service to humanity.

Let me repeat what I told the people during my recent pilgrimage to my homeland : "If a person's right to life is violated at the moment in which he is first conceived in his mother's womb, an indirect blow is struck also at the whole of the moral order, which serves to ensure the inviolable goods of man. Among those goods, life occupies the first place. The Church defends the right to life, not only in regard to the majesty of the Creator, who is the First Giver of this life, but also in respect of the essential good of the human person" (8 June 1979).

4. Human life is precious because it is the gift of a God whose love is infinite; and when God gives life, it is for ever. Life is also precious because it is the expression and the fruit of love. This is why life should spring up within the setting of marriage, and why marriage and the parents' love for one another should be marked by generosity in self-giving. The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish. The fear of making permanent commitments can change the mutual love of husband and wife into two loves of self—two loves existing side by side, until they end in separation.

In the sacrament of marriage, a man and a woman—who at Baptism became members of Christ and hence have the duty of manifesting Christ's attitudes in their lives—are assured of the help they need to develop their love in a faithful and indissoluble union, and to respond with generosity to the gift of parenthood. (Mass at the Capitol Mall in Washington, October 7, 1979.)

Ah, that was then. I was there on the Capitol Mall. I applauded. I was only a blind fool for believing that "right order" had been established after the death of "Pope Paul VI" on August 6, 1978, in what I believed to be the Catholic Church.

Alas, Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II’s opposition to the surgical execution of the innocent preborn on the grounds of “human dignity” is considered to be “controversial” and “undiplomatic” by Jorge Mario Bergoglio and his crew of barbaric marauders who are laying waste to the remnants of anything recognizably Catholic doctrine on Faith and Morals in the name of “mercy,” “dialogue,” “compassion,” and “diplomacy” as they seek to “save the planet,” provide “rights” to individuals who enter nations illegally, and to propagandize in behalf of statist programs of income distribution to end “income inequality.”

Thus it is that the late Polish Modernist and Phenomenologist’s public opposition to abortion has had to be cast aside, thus making Wojtyla/John Paul II the victim of his own “living tradition” that was—and remains under the monicker of the “hermeneutic of continuity that was given to it by the late Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI on December 22, 2005—nothing other than the condemned Modernist proposition of the “evolution of doctrine.” Modernists such as Wojtyla/John Paul II used the “evolution of doctrine” as the means to jettison the immemorial teaching of the Catholic Church without realizing that some future “pope” could use it just as easily to jettison their own particular takes on the conciliar revolution, which is precisely what Bergoglio has been doing for the past nearly twelve years.

Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and Jorge Mario Bergoglio deserve each other.

Perhaps it is no accident, therefore, that a statue of Our Lady of La Salette in Poland began to weep tears on December 13, 2024, the Feast of Saint Lucy and the fifty-fifth anniversary of Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s putative ordination to the Catholic priesthood even though the narrator who documented this phenomenon did not realize the connection and might even be surprised that someone can make it (the video can be found at Statue Of Our Lady Of La Salette Sheds Tears).

However, any believing Catholic should be ready to shed his own tears over the way Our Lord and Our Lady are being offended by the lords of conciliarism, to say nothing of his own sins that have worsened the state of the Church Militant during this time of apostasy and betrayal as well as the state of the world at large, which is why we must redouble our efforts during this New Year of 2025 to make reparation for our own sins by offering all the travails of the moment up to the Throne of the Most Holy Trinity as the consecrated slaves of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, especially, of course, by continuing to remain faithful to Our Lady’s Most Holy Rosary every day.

Finally, a prayer consecrating one’s house to Our Lady that was featured by a reader of this site from a video commentary about the tragedy that still continues to unfold in southern California is one that we should make our own every day our lives:

The video description of the prayer: “During the first World War, in France, some of the faithful Catholics were known to have this prayer tacked on their front door. These homes and residents were not harmed or invaded during the time of war.”

Most Blessed Virgin Mary, whose heart is sorrowful and immaculate, we recognize thee as the Lady and Queen of this house. We consecrate this house and everything in this house to your immaculate care and maternal protection. Have the kindness to preserve it from any evil; from fire, water, thunder, storms, earthquakes, from robbers, wicked people, from revolutions, war, raids, from persecution and taxes, from any other evil known by thee. Bless, protect, defend, and preserve as thy personal property, those who live and will live here. Keep them from adversity and misfortune, but above all, preserve them from offending God. Let not a single mortal sin be ever committed in this house. And may all those who enter it work for the glory of God, for the reign of Jesus and Mary. Let this house be forever consecrated to you, O Jesus and Mary. Let it be blessed with all those who inhabit it. Amen.

This time of apostasy and betrayal will pass. Forgettable men who are united in the promotion of evil and the coverup of their wicked ways come and go. We, though, must keep focused on First and Last Things so as to be ready at all times to make an accounting of our lives before Christ the King as we cleave to Our Lady’s maternal protection now, and at the hour our death, which may occur when we least expect it.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us.

Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us.

Saint Gabriel the Archangel, pray for us.

Saint Raphael the Archangel, pray for us.

Saints Joachim and Anne, pray for us.

Saints Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, pray for us.
