"Benedictus Qui Venit in Nomine Domnini, Hosanna in Excelsis," part three

[Update on late Saturday, November 11, 2023: Although circumstances prevented me from writing a commentary about Jorge Mario Bergoglio's forced removal of the concilar "bishop" of Tyler, Texas, Joseph Strickland, today, I will work on such a commentary all day tomorrow, Sunday, November 12, 2023, the Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost (Mass of the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany) and the Commemoration of Pope Saint Martin I.

[As many readers probably know by now, Father Louis J. Campbell, who turned ninety-one years of age on All Saints Day, is in very grave condition and is expected to die soon. Please commend this hard working priest of Christ the King in your prayers. Father Campbell worked without cease until he was simply physically unable to continue. He is devoted to Our Lady, Saint Joseph, Saint Jude and our Wonder Worker, Saint Philomena, patterning the sixty-one years of his priestly life to promoting True Devotion to Mary after the example of his namesake, Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort. 

[November 12, 2023, is the ninety-fourth birthday of Father Kenneth Baker, S.J., and it is the one hundred eighth anniversary of the birth of the late Father Martin Stepanich, O.F.M., S.T.D. Please pray for Father Baker and for the repose of the soul of Father Martin.

[Finally, there is an urgent need to raise $1500. Although I have made few appeals in recent years, there are times when necessity requires me to so, and I hereby ask those who access this site to make a non-tax-deductible financial gift. Thank you.]

This is another commentary on the genocide taking place in the Holy Land at this time. The Ukraine-Russian conflict is also discussed at the beginning of this commentary.

Another original commentary should appaer by Monday, November 13, 2023, the Feast of Saint Didacus and, in some places, the Commemoratiion of Saint Stanislaus Kostka.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Martin of Tours, pray for us.

Saint Mennas, pray for us.

Live by "Popular Sovereignty," Die by "Popular Sovereignty"

The passage of Ohio Issue 1 and Ohio Issue 2 on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, prompted me to write this commentary, which will push  back the expected publication of "Benedictus Qui Venit in Nomine Domini, part three," until Saturday, November 11, 2023, the Feast of Saint Martin of Tours.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us.

Saint Theodore, pray for us.

Otto von Bergoglio's Kulturkampf (or Jorge Mario Zedong's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution), part four

This commentary concludes a four part series.

The next commentary to appear on this site will be "Benedictus Qui Venit in Nomine Domini, Hosanna in Excelsis," part three.

Our Lady, Queen of All Saints, pray for us.

Otto von Bergoglio’s Kulturkampf (or Jorge Mario Zedong’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution), part three

This commentary discusses Jorge Mario Bergoglio's Ad Theologiam Promovendam. Part four, which will deal with the document's application to the other branches of theology apart from moral theology as examined in this part, should appear by Tuesday, November 7, 2023. Suffice it to say for the moment that Ad Theologiam Promovendam is the death knell to the Catholic Church's true general councils prior to the death of Pope Pius XII, and to everything taught by Holy Mother Church that does not "correspond" to the "lived experiences" of the people. This is paganism writ large.

Kyrie eleison!

Our Lady, Queen of All Saints and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us.

All the Saints, pray for us.

Blessed Martin de Porres, pray for us.

On the Commemoration of All Souls in 2023

[We lost internet service yesterday morning. It was not restored until about an hour before this posting, and it took no less than five technicians to resolve the problem. This is why my next article has not appeared yet. It is amazing how dependent we have become upon this technology!]

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, 2023, through midnight today, November 2, 2023, 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.

By the way, I read a news story about Jorge Mario Bergoglio's latest "publication" in which he called for a "cultural revolution" in Catholic theology to make it "popularly based," meaning one that is completely subjectivist. I don't want to say that I am ahead of the curve on this. However, I did write Otto von Bergoglio’s Kulturkampf (or Jorge Mario Zedong’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution), part one, and Otto von Bergoglio's Kulturkampf (or Jorge Mario Zedong's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, part two recently. Guess what? Part three takes priority over the article I have been working on in recent days. Stay tuned.

Revised: On the Feast of All Saints (2023)

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.

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 today on All Saints' Day through midnight of the Commemoration of All Souls tomorrow 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, I ask you to pray for Father Campbell on his ninety-first birthday today and to thank him for his sixty-two years of priesthood, including the last twenty-two 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 twelve and one-half years ago, believe it or not) in Sugar Land, Texas. Father Campbell has been in poor health for much of this year. Please pray for his needs today and every day. 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.

Republished: Christ the King Wants Us to Avoid the Chronic Fear and Agitation of Naturalism

Two articles are being republished today as I was unable to complete the one upon which I am working at this time. 

This commentary was published last year and it makes many of the points that I am reiterating in the commentary I hope to have published by tomorrow, the Feast of All Saints.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

All the Saints, pray for us.

Republished from December 16, 2009: Listen Up, You Morons and Idiots in Copenhagen

As I was unable to complete the commentary about the triumph of hatred and violence that has as it remote cause Original Sin and as its more proximate cause the overthrow of the Social Reign of Christ the King, I thought it useful to republish an article published on December 16, 2009, that advanced some of the themes in Otto von Bergoglio's Kulturkampf (or Jorge Mario Zedong's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, part two about population control as the ultimate goal of the climate warriors. Additionally, another commentary, published a year ago, is also being republished as the one I am writing is more or less a follow-up of that one.

Thank you for your patience.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

All the Saints, pray for us.

Nations Need Kings After the Mind and Pattern of Christ the King (2023)

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.

Part two of Otto von Bergoglio's Kulturkampf (or Jorge Mario Zedong's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution), which dealt with Laudate Deum, was published yesterday, the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, October 28, 2023.

Vivat Christus Rex!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

We Must Always Live and be Willing to Die for Christ the King (2023)

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

Another republished reflection on this feast day will follow shortly before and an original commentary will be posted by the Vigil of All Saints, Tuesday, October 31, 2023.

Part two of Otto von Bergoglio's Kulturkampf (or Jorge Mario Zedong's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution) was published yesterday, the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, October 28, 2023.

Vivat Christus Rex!

Viva Cristo Rey!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
