It was my hope to have my next original article published today. However, I only got to the computer a short while ago another having another follow-up examination with my ophthamologist five months after my cataract surgeries, which took longer than expected and delayed other things that had to be done. All is within the Providence of God. I will, though, be back at work tomorrow and hope to finish the article posthaste.

For the moment, though, I am offering a brief reflection on Saint Athanasius of Alexandria, whose feast is celebrated today, May 2, 2024.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Athanasius, pray for us.

Today’s article is a slight revision and republication of a very brief and wholly inadequate reflection on the life of the great mystic, stigmatist and spiritual directress of souls, Saint Catherine of Siena, T.O.P., whose feast day is the day after that of the Protomartyr of the Order of Preachers, Saint Peter of Verona (Saint Peter Martyr).

Saint Catherine was calumniated during her life, and she was blamed for having precipitated the Great Western Schism by convincing Pope Gregory XI to return to return to Rome in 1378. She suffered all such calumny with joy.

What’s our excuse for grumbling and/or murmuring about our crosses and the state of chaos in which we live in this time of apostasy and betrayal?

Remember, everything thing that happens to us has been ordained by the hand of God Himself with exquisite perfection. Saint Catherine of Siena never lost an opportunity to suffer well. Indeed, she begged to suffer more and more for love of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. So should we.

As I have a long drive ahead of me today, Tuesday, April 30, 2024, for my annual cardiac examination with Dr. Peter A McCullough, my next original article may not appear until Thursday, May 2, 2024. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Catherine of Siena, T.O.P., pray for us.

Today is the feast of the protomartyr of the Order of Preachers, Saint Peter of Verona, who is known more commonly as Saint Peter Martyr. Time has been spent to revise this brief reflection of the life and holy martyrdom of this great Dominican, who hated error in his childhood as a result of being brought up by parents who were Manicheans. Saint Peter Martyr loved the Holy Faith, and it was this love that prompted him to accept his martyrdom with serenity as he wrote "Credo in Unum Deum" in his very own blood as he fell to the ground after a heretic had stabbed him.

An original article, Victor Manuel Fernandez's Anthropocentric Decree on Human Dignity, part six, was published early yesterday morning, the Fourth Sunday after Easter, and the Commemorations of of Saint Paul of the Cross, Saint Vitalis, and [in some places] of Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort and of Saint Peter Chanel.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us. 

Saint Peter Martyr, pray for us.

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.
