This article, which was  substantially revised and enlarged reflection two years ago, on the life and the tireless apostolic work of the great Jesuit missionary and one the original members of Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s Company of Jesus, Saint Francis Xavier.

The title of the revised article reflects the disparaging term that Jorge Mario Bergoglio used to compare believing Catholics with modern-day faithful, believing Mohammedans who take the words of the blasphemous Koran seriously by committing acts of wanton murder against “infidels.” Saint Francis Xavier worked tirelessly for the conversion of those who belonged to false religions. Then again, he was a true Jesuit priest. Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a lay Jesuit revolutionary masquerading as a “pope," a man who expelled himself from the bosom of the Catholic Church in his youth as he mocked the Immemorial Mass of Tradition and taught to disparage Catholic doctrine as being in opposition to the Gospel of Christ the King.

The long article on which I have been working for the past four days is nearing completion. The only thing left to do is to transcribe three prayers from The Raccolta and to format the text for publication on the Drupal platform on which this site exists. It is most likely the case that the work can be finished by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time today. God willing and Our Lady interceding, that is.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Francis Xavier, S.J., pray for us.

This is a republished commentary about the Advent season that begins with First Vespers this evening, Saturday, December 1, 2018, the First Saturday of the month of December and the four hundred thirty-seventh anniversary of the martydom of Blessed Edmund Campion, S.J. (see Blessed Edmund Campion, S..J: Champion of Catholicisim, Not Ecumenism).

An original article on the monstrous gene-edited twins born in Red China will follow by Monday (at the latest). Rest assured that the madness of the mad, mad, mad, mad world of naturalism will be the subject of a very long and detailed commentary by the end of the coming week.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Blessed Edmund Campion, pray for us.

This is a short reflection,about this day, the last day of the liturgical year on which the Feast of Saint Sylvester the Abbot and the Commemoration of Saint Peter of Alexandria occur. 

Another republished reflection will be posted within twenty-four hours.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Sylvester the Abbot, pray for us.

Saint Peter of Alexandria, pray for us.

Although not on the General Roman Calendar, today, Tuesday, November 27, 2018, is the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Although not observed universally on a mandatory basis, this feast is is nevertheless an important one to commemorate as this powerful sacramental is yet another sign of the love that pours out from the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the hands of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces, despite our own ingratitude and infidelities. [This feast is one that, traditionally, had been celebrated solemnly in the Diocese of Brooklyn, and it was within the boundaries of that diocese that I was born on Saturday, November 24, 1951, three days before this feast day that year.]

This reflection was written in 2010 and published in two parts. It was three years ago now that it was combined into one part and revised slightly in a few places.

An original article is in the process of being written while I work on the book project simultaneously.

Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, pray for us.

Saint Catherine Laboure, pray for us.

An attempt is being made to catch up with a few subjects upon which I was unable to write during the week that I was without a functioning notebook computer.

This particular commentary is a reaction to an interview that a “Monsignor” Nicola Bux gave on October 13, 2018, that has received additional attention since a news story appeared about it on November 15, 2018, the Feast of Saint Albert the Great.

There will be a few other articles in the next week as I endeavor to wrap up work on volume one of an anthology of my spiritual reflections.

Thank you for your patience.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Catherine of Alexandria, pray for us.

Yes, I am in the midst of writing a new article. However, the clock struck midnight, meaning that I am going to have to resume work on it later today. 

Today is the Feast of Saint Cecilia, a heroic model of Catholic purity and of martyrdom for the Holy Faith.

Yes, the secular world celebrates a different “holy day” today. While we can always Catholicize such days, our first obligation is to live the liturgical life of the Catholic Church and not to be the prisoners of a secular calendar that has sought to replace Christmas Day with “thanksgiving day.” Every day is a Thanksgiving Day for a Catholic. (See the article below this one for a reflection on the secular thanksgiving day.

An original article should appear by Saturday, November 24, 2018. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us. 

Saint Cecilia, pray for us.

One of the saddest spectacles here in a land suffused with the ethos of Judeo-Calvinist-Masonic naturalism is how the secular celebration of thanksgiving day has eclipsed Christmas Day in the homes of many Americans.

This is quite by design as it was the intention of the thirty-third degree Freemason named Franklin Delano Roosevelt to promote shopping during a time when our attention must be on withdrawing from the world. As there are a few new readers to this site, including some from Protestant and even Jewish backgrounds who have expressed an interesting in converting to the true Faith, it is my hope that this republished reflection might of assistance in demonstrating the extent to which the warfare against Christ the King that entered its overt phase with the Protestant Revolution in 1517 has shaped what passes for American "culture" to the detriment of souls and thus to all of social order. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us. Saint Cecilia, pray for us. .

Yes, I am back online again. It is going to take several days to get back up to speed with new articles. However, I remain grateful for the help that we received to get a refurbished notebook computer. I hope to have a new article for posting by the Feast of Saint John of the Cross and the Commemoration of Saint Chrysogonus, Saturday, November 24, 2018. 

Today is the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is a short reflection on the feast day, which is followed by an appendix including the description of the Presentation of Our Lady as found in The New English Edition of The Mystical City of God.

Work on my book projects will resume later today.

Finally, please pray for a former student of mine who turns fifty-one years of age today and for a friend of ours on Long Island who turns seventy years of age today. Thank you.

Our Lady, Ark of the New Covenant, pray for us.

Saints Joachim and Anne, pray for us.
