This is a tribute to Saint Peter Claver, S.J, whose true missionary zeal for the conversion and sanctification and salvation of souls stands in vast contrast to the blase and practically indifferent attitude of the conciliar "popes," including Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis.

Saint Peter Claver, S.J., personally baptized over 300,000 people in Colombia who were destined for chattel slavery in the Americas. Saint Peter Claver freed those souls from enslavement to the devil by means of Original Sin, equipping them to offer up the injustices of chattel slavery as disciples of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and as the devoted clients of His Most Blessed Mother. Saint Peter Claver's example does indeed stand in stark contrast to that of the revolutionaries of the counterfeit church of conciliarism. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us. Saint Peter Claver, pray for us!

As we sprung a bit of a surprise on our daughter yesterday, the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, there was an insufficient time for completing the next original article, which will include the "Motu Proprio" that Jorge Mario Bergoglio issued to "streamline" the nullity process within his false church (something that raises the question as to why he is even bother to hold his "synod of bishops" in four weeks' time). Knowing that I sound like a broken record, I do expect to complete the article today.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Peter Claver, pray for us.

Saint Gorgonius, pray for us.

Today is the great feast day of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, she who is the fairest flower of our race.

The angels rejoiced around the crib where Good Saint Anne placed her all-holy daughter, who had been conceived without any stain of Original Sin nine months before, that is, on December 8. The New Eve, whose act of perfect obedience to the will of God the Father at the moment that Saint Gabriel the Archangel announced to her that she would be the very Mother of God untied the knot of the first Eve's prideful disobedience in the Garden of Eden, shone at her Nativity with exterior beauty and brightness that reflected the interior beauty and brightness of her immortal soul, filled with grace at the very moment of Immaculate Conception. The favor of God rested upon Our Lady from all eternity.

How can words capture our gratitude and joy to God for giving us Our Lady to be our own Heavenly Mother and Queen? They can't. Words can only approximate our gratitude and joy this day--and every day of our lives--over the fact that the Singular Vessel of Devotion in whose Virginal and Immaculate Womb would be conceived Our Divine Redeemer.

We would not have any chance of getting to Heaven if Our Lady had not been conceived and born. We have no chance of getting to Heaven without Our Lady's help, which is why we, as the consecrated slaves of her Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through her own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, must cling to her at all times, especially by means of wearing--and the fulfilling the terms of our enrollment in--her Brown Scapular and by praying as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit.

Perhaps the best birthday gift that we can give to Our Lady, apart from our worthy reception of her Divine Son in Holy Communion at a true offering of Holy Mass at the hands of a true bishop or a true priest, is to resolve now to do live more penitentially in reparation for our sins and those of the world world. By living more penitentially and by praying more Rosaries each day, you see, our souls might--emphasis on might--begin to be filled with more fervor and tenderness for Our Most Blessed Mother, she who made possible our salvation and who is the Mediatrix of All Graces.

A blessed Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary to you all.

It is my hope to have the next original article published later today. Thank you very much.

The imprisonment of Rowan County, Kentucky, Clerk Kim Davis by United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky Judge David Bunning, who was appointed to the Federal bench by the pro-contraception, pro-abortion in the “hard cases” President George Walker Bush, on September 4, 2001, before taking office on February 19, 2002, over her steadfast refusal to issue “marriage” licenses to those of the same gender committed to lives of abject perversity in violation of

Prefaced by my own brief introduction, this current post was written by Dr. Paul Byrne concerning two Orwellian “Current Medical Teminology” codes that the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare of the United States Department of Health and Human Services are seeking to implement.

As the comment period on the proposed codes, which put into place the very death panels that supporters of ObamaDeathCare have long denied existed, closes at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 8, 2015, the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, I urge each of the readers of this site, regardless as to whether they may accept or reject my own articles, to respond with great urgency to Dr. Byrne’s call to offer comments on these two draconian measures.

Thank you. Act now. Pray a Rosary in reparation for the crimes of the “civilized” nations of the world.

Vivat Christus Rex!

Viva Cristo Rey!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Rose of Viterbo, pray for us.

As there was simply no time to write a follow-up to yesterday's original article, Jorge "Gives" What He Does Not Have" and to do the revisions on today's reflection on the life of Pope Saint Pius X, the next article simply has to wait as paying tribute to Pope Saint Pius X, whose love of the Holy Faith should bring a smile to our face and great Catholic warmth to our hearts, is more important than descending once again into the cesspool that is Jorge Mario Bergoglio's false religion.

Unlike his immediate predecessor, Pope Leo XIII, and each of his three successors (Popes Benedict XV, Pius XI, and Pius XII), the former Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto was not in the diplomatic service of the Holy See at any time during the nearly forty-five years of his priesthood prior to his rather remarkable election as the Successor of Saint Peter on August 4, 1903. He was not prone to accept the word of diplomats, and he did not suffer lies and misrepresentations easily.

The farm boy from Riese, Italy, who served as a pastor of souls in a rough-and-tumble Italian cow town, Tombolo, and then in Salzano before becoming Bishop of Mantua and the Cardinal Patriarch of Venice, was always close to Our Lady. This tender devotion to Our Lady, which he learned from his saintly mother, helped him to keep close to the sheep even when he was the Vicar of Christ on earth. Thanks to the sign given him by the life and death of Little Nellie of Holy God, Pope Saint Pius X was the advocate of early First Communion (and early Confirmation) and of frequent Communions.

It is no accident at all that the now retired Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI made no reference to the centenary of Pascendi Dominci Gregis on September 8, 2007, nearly four years ago now. Ratzinger/Benedict made absolutely no reference on August 15, 2010, to the centenary of Pope Saint Pius X's Notre Charge Apostolique, which was a ringing condemnation of the false philosophy of the Sillon that is of the essence of conciliarism. He has made no reference to the one hundredth anniversary of The Oath Against Modernism on September 1, 1010 (see Witness Against Benedict XVI: The Oath Against Modernism). How could he? He stands condemned by the very words in these documents issued by Pope Saint Pius X. So does the man who ignored the one hundredth anniversary of Papa Sarto's death, Jorge Mario Bergolio, back on August 20, 2014.

The contrast between the Catholicism of Pope Saint Pius X, a defender of the Social Reign of Christ the King and the confessionally Catholic civil state, and the conciliarism of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who has denounced "restorationists" as "Pelagian" and "hard-headed" Pharisees while defending "healthy laicism" and "religious liberty" and the "separation of Church and State, could not be more clear.

Here is the Collect for today's feast in the Immemorial Mass of Tradition: "O God, who for the defense of the Catholic Faith and the restoration of all things in Christ didst fill Saint Pius, Supreme Pontiff, with heavenly wisdom and apostolic courage: grant in Thy loving kindness that by following his teachings and examples we may attain eternal rewards. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, forever and ever. Amen."

Pope Saint Pius X opposed Modernism. So must we as we refuse any "communion" at all with conciliarism or its false shepherds who are at war with the Catholic Faith. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us. Pope Saint Pius X, pray for us!

As noted about twelve hours ago when posting today's original article, "Jorge 'Gives' What He Does Not Have," I have revised my reflection on the saintly life of Saint Stephen,, King of Hungary, who was zealous to convert pagans to the true Faith and thus establish the peace and justice of Christ the King in his land. He is yet another contrast to concilairism's false doctrines of "religious liberty" and "separation of Church and State."

There should be another original article on this site by tomorrow morning.

Our Lady of Hungary, pray for us.

Saint Stephen of Hungary, pray for us.

Saint Emeric, pray for us.

Jorge issued a letter yesterday that he had sent to Salvatore Rino “Cardinal” Fisichella, the president of the so-called “Pontifical” Council for the “New Evangelization.” Although much of the coverage so far has concentrated on the provision whereby Bergoglio “established” jurisdiction for the priests of the Society of Saint Pius X to hear confessions and grant absolution to penitents, there is another aspect of yesterday’s letter that is also addressed in this commentary.

That other aspect refers to the very man to whom Bergoglio’s letter was address, Rino Fisichella, who had made a favorable reference to “therapeutic abortion” in 2009 when he was the president of the “Pontifical” Council for Life, thus placing the Argentine Apostate’s references to abortion in the letter released yesterday in a slightly different context than the one those are so excited about the “pope’s” “mercy” towards the Society of Saint Pius X, whose members he is trying to silence just as surely as “Saint John Paul II” and “Benedict XVI” before him.

A revised article for today’s Feast of Saint Stephen of Hungary will be published later today.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Stephen of Hungary, pray for us.

[Today's original article, "Behold the Universal Wreckage of the Conciliar Revolution," can be found by scrolling down below this revised article. Thank you.]

This revised article is a short reflection on the life of Saint Rose of Lima, a member of the Third Order of Penance of the Order of Preachers of Saint Dominic de Guzman.

Among many other works in her devout life of prayer and austere penances, Saint Rose, who lived among a cluster of saints in Lima, Peru, exhorted the people of Lima to gather in their churches and pray their Rosaries to turn back a pending invasion of their city by a fleet of those virulent anti-Catholics, the Dutch Calvinists. Those hideous people with their diabolical beliefs that have nothing at all to do with Christianity turned back as a result of the Rosaries that were prayed to repel them in their designs to invade Lima and to sack Catholic churches and to desecrated the Most Blessed Sacrament images of the Mother of God. May we pray to Saint Rose of Lima so that we will remain faithful to the daily recitation of Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary as the powerful weapon, after Holy Mass itself, to turn back the enemies of Christ the King in the world and in the counterfeit church of conciliarism.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Rose of Lima, pray for us.

Saints Felix and Adauctus, pray for us.

Although today's article was going to discuss the naming of a piazza in Rome after Martin Luther, time necessitated that the material written on that subject thus far be placed into the next original article on this site. The current article, though days in development is thus far shorter than was to have been the case. Then again, how many times is it necessary to document the fact that Jorge Mario Bergoglio and his spiritual, doctrinal, liturgical, moral and pastoral wrecking crew are agents of the adversary?

Behold! We are eyewitnesses to the Great Apostasy. We need to keep very close to Our Lady, especially by means of her Most Holy Rosary.

A revised reflection on the life of Saint Rose of Lima, a Third Order Dominican, will be published later today, Sunday, August 30, 2015, the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost and the Commemorations of Saint Rose of Lima and of Saints Felix and Adauctus.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Rose of Lima, pray for us.

Oh, yes, as this page was created on Friday evening, August 28, 2015, the Feast of Saint Augustine of Hippo and the Commemoration of Saint Hermes, I forgot that it would be published below yesterday's revised article for the Feast of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. It is thus being posted under a slightly different title in order to place it on top of this home page, which is just how the Drupal software program works even though I have no comprehension as to why this is the case.

With various computer glitches leading the way, the revisions to this article made it impossible for the next original article to be completed for posting today. I do hope to complete it by late today. Events, including more car breakdowns, keep getting in the way as the news items keep piling up!

A blessed Feast of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist to you all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Saint Sabina, pray for us.
