Our Lord was made manifest on Christmas Day to the handful of Jewish people, including the shepherds in the field who were sent to adore Him by the angels who had announced the following:

And there were in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock. And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a great fear. And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people:

For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying: Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will. And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.

And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. (Luke 2: 6-20.)

Today's feast, the Feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord, known colloquially in Ireland as "Little Christmas" and in many other places as Three Kings' Day, celebrates Our Lord's manifestation to the whole world through the Gentiles. Indeed, the Offertory for today's Mass explains that all kings shall adore Christ King and that all nations shall serve Him:

The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts: and all kings of the earth shall adore Him: all nations shall serve Him.

The United States of America is no exception to this. We must pray for the day when the leaders of this country, founded on the falsehoods of Protestantism and Judeo-Masonry that are so hateful to Our King, will adore Him as their King and the day when this nation will serve Him as it acknowledges His Social Kingship over it by submitting in all that pertains to the good of souls to the authority of the Catholic Church that He Himself founded upon the Rock of Peter, the Pope. We are suffering at the hands of statists today because the men of Modernity who believed that they had no obligation to offer public worship to Christ the King through His true Church set us on a course that can result only in the triumph of the civil state over the King of Kings Who was made manifest to Saints Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar on this day. We must make Him manifest in our own lives at at all times, never fearing to suffer in behalf of the truths of the Holy Faith or to suffer in the cause of justice when souls are placed into jeopardy needlessly even by some of our own true shepherds.

A blessed Feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord to you all!

Today’s article, which is the first of two parts, is a commentary on the “sendoff” given by officials of the counterfeit church of conciliarism to the late Mario Matthew Cuomo. Although there is material in this commentary that is familiar to longtime readers of my work, there is a lot of new material contained within its text as well.

Part two will appear, at least as it stands now, on Saturday, January 10, 2015. Tomorrow’s article will comment on the Mohammedan terrorism that took place in France yesterday, Wednesday, January 7, 2015. The French Fifth Republic is simply a victim of the revolution against Christ the King begun by the revolutionaries who started the First Republic of France in the wake of the French Revolution. Those revolutionaries mocked Christ the King and His Most Blessed Mother. They destroyed the relics of Saint Louis IX, King of France. They profaned the high altar and destroyed sacred images in the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral. The “liberal” and socialist successors of the initial French revolutionaries have continued the warfare against the Christ the King as they legislated in behalf of contraception and abortion, thereby depopulating France of its indigenous population, prompting hordes of Mohammedans to flock to a country from whose boundaries Charles Martel expelled them after the Battle of Tours (Poitiers) on October 10, 732.

Yet it is that the conciliar revolutionaries have exalted the principles of the French Revolution that gave rise to The Sillon, a movement that was condemned by Pope Saint Pius in Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910, oblivious to the fact that “religious liberty,” far from producing “peaceful coexistence,” is used by the devil to destroy the Faith in the souls of Catholics so that they will accept unbelief as the only social common denominator. Behold the tragic results.

Our Lady of La Salette, pray for us!

Saints Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, pray for us.

Blood was shed on this day. Yes, the Most Precious Blood of Jesus was shed for the first time in His life as Man, eight days after His Nativity in Bethlehem.

Every new day of our lives is an opportunity for us to start "fresh," if you will, as we give thanks to God for keeping us alive for another day to give Him honor and glory through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary as we adore Him in true offerings of the Holy Sacrifice Mass and as we petition Him for what we need, both spiritually and temporally.

Although there will be two republished articles for this Feast of the Circumcision and the first day of the year of Our Lord 2015 later today, January 1, 2015, a new article, which was several days in the making, is being published well after Midnight.

This new article explains that whatever resistance to the promotion of Mortal Sins under cover of law and all throughout what passes for "popular culture" that was offered from time to time by conciliar "bishops" in scattered locations across the globe is a thing of the past. Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the captain of a ship of fools, men and women who believe that the horror of personal sin is not offensive in the sight of the Most Blessed Trinity, hurtful to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary or even injurious to the souls of those steeped in unrepentant Mortal Sins. It is enough, Jorge contends, for men to "do good," although those who are promoting and/or persisting in Mortal Sins are undermining the very fabric of social order and disturbing even the physical forces of the universe. Go tell that to the pantheists aboard Jorge's Ship of Fools.

A blessed Feast of the Circumcision of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to you all!

A blessed and holy New Year to the readers of Christ or Chaos.

Our Lady, Mother of God, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Saint Stephen the Protomartyr, pray for us.

Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us.

The Holy Innocents, pray for us.

Pope Saint Sylvester I did not abide heresy. He did not enable it in the slightest. He confronted it as he sought the conversion of all non-Catholics to the true Faith. His firm defense of the Holy Faith as Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's Vicar on earth must inspire us in our day to seek his intercession for the needs of the Church Militant on earth as she suffers in the catacombs as pretenders to the papal throne make their open accommodations to propositions that have been anathematized time and time again in the past by true popes and/or dogmatic councils. The Church arose from the catacombs during the pontificate of Pope Saint Sylvester I. May his intercession for us now help to bring about a like arising from the catacombs in our own day as the falsehoods of the counterfeit church of conciliarism are wiped away once and for all.

Although so many Catholics in the world are without the Real Presence of Our Lord to adore, those who are so privileged in this time of apostasy and betrayal would be wise to end this year by spending time before Him in prayer as we pray our Rosaries in thanksgiving for the favors and graces received this year, in reparation for our sins and those of others this year, in petition for our spiritual and temporal needs and, of course, in adoration of the good God Who preserves our existence and Who wants us to show forth our love for Him by our fidelity to His teaching and our sorrow for our sins as members of His true Church.

It had been my hope to have another original article posted by today. That will have to wait until tomorrow, the Feast of the Circumsion of Our Lord. Tomorrow's article will be a commentary on Jorge's Ship of Fools, men who are concerned about "climate change" and not about the gravity of Mortal Sin and the harm that it does to souls and to the good order of men and their nations. Work on the next article has been delayed by the completion of the text for my forthcoming book on the theological closeness of the two men who are wearing white cassocks inside the walls of the Occupied Vatican on the West Bank of the Tiber River at this time. All that remains now is to design a cover and then finalize the front pages and table of contents before uploading it for publication.

A blessed New Year of Our Lord 2015 to you all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Sylvester I, pray for us.

The Herods of Modernity, men and women who moralize in behalf of statism as they celebrate sin in the name of "diversity" and "toleration," and the Herods of Modernism in the counterfeit church, men who moralize in behalf of heresy as they celebrate sin in the name of a false "mercy," seek to "purify" the world of "outdated" ideas and practices. Each set of Herods has its own set of prescriptions to "remedy" the "illnesses" of those who cling to a "past," of those who are said to be "cold" and "unfeeling. Each set of Herods is composed of tyrants who speak of "democracy" while seeking to demonize anyone and everyone who opposes them.

It is with this in mind, of course, that Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is playing his own very important role as the synthesis of all Modernists, a man who is never at ease unless he is scolding believing Catholics, who are already under siege by the lords of the world.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

The Holy Innocents, pray for us.

Today, the Fourth Day within the Octave of Christmas, is the Feast the Holy Innocents, the children who were put to death at the orders of the jealous titular King of Judea who had been installed by the Roman occupiers to pacify resistance to their unjust occupation of the Holy Land. King Herod the Great, whose sons Herod and Philip were no less corrupt and violent than he was, wanted to kill the Baby King Whom he thought to be a threat to his own political suzerainty, such as it was as a puppet ruler under the Roman occupiers. It meant nothing to him to wipe out so many innocent children in his quest to kill the Baby King, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Who was born in Bethlehem to save, his, Herod the Great's, own immortal soul by the shedding of every single drop of His Most Precious Blood on the wood of the Holy Cross.

There have been imitators of Herod the Great throughout history who have sought to put to death the followers of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in an insane effort to wipe the Faith off of the face of this earth. The names of these imitators are legion. Their likes are to be found in our own midst today as politicians of both major organized crime families of naturalism in the United States of America, the Democrat Party and the Republican Party, believe that a just social order can be established and maintained while innocent preborn human beings are slaughtered under cover of law and while the Sovereignty of Christ the King is denied in favor of the sovereignty of men and their false, naturalistic, semi-Pelagian and anti-Incarnational ideas.

That having been noted, however, it is important to point out that the Holy Innocents are honored as saints because they died in the place of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as a political potentate drunk with his own self-importance sought to kill the Newborn Baby King with a furious rage. The slaughter of the innocent preborn today, as horrible as it is and as deserving of our attention especially by means of praying Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary and by means of sidewalk counseling, is different in that the children being killed today are not being targeted specifically in the place of Our Lord.

Unlike the speculative conclusions offered by the "International Theological Commission" of the counterfeit church of conciliarism in 2007, the Catholic Church has never held out "hope" that the souls of unbaptized infants go to Heaven, which is why the crime of the killing of the preborn is so monstrous as it kills the souls of those involved in the execution and denies the slaughtered babies the glory of the Beatific Vision. The Holy Innocents are saints because they were targeted quite specifically because of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and thus shed their blood on His account.

We need to invoke the intercession of the Holy Innocents today and every day to stop the shedding of the blood of the innocent under cover of law, praying to them especially that Catholics blinded by the allure of various naturalistic "strategies" to end the social evils of the day will be reminded of this truth stated by Pope Saint Pius X in Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910:

For there is no true civilization without a moral civilization, and no true moral civilization without the true religion: it is a proven truth, a historical fact. (Pope Saint Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910.)

Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ must reign as King of men and nations, my friends. Accept no naturalistic substitutes from the "Herods" of this world and their enablers in the counterfeit church of conciliarism who reject the Social Reign of the Newborn King, Our Divine Redeemer Whom Herod the Great sought to kill.

Saint John the Evangelist, a son of Zebedee, was the youngest of the twelve Apostles. He was a virgin, a man who offered to His Divine Master, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, pure love in a heart that was not sullied by the world, the flesh and the devil. This youngest Apostle with the purest heart was permitted to lean on Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's chest, wherein beat His Most Sacred Heart, at the Last Supper. And it was this purity of heart possessed by Saint John the Evangelist that led him to be present at the foot of the Holy Cross and to be given the singular privilege by Our Divine Redeemer of caring for His own Most Blessed Mother until the time of her death and bodily Assumption into Heaven.

Despite what the now retired Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI contended blasphemously in his Jesus of Nazareth book concerning the "disputed" nature of the human authorship of the Fourth Gospel, Saint John the Evangelist is indeed the human author of the Fourth Gospel and of his epistles and the Book of the Apocalypse. Saint John is the Evangelist of the Incarnation of the Word whose Gospel provides us with Scriptural proofs for the doctrine of the Eucharist and for the Sacrament of Penance. And the Charity preached by Saint John the Evangelist was no exercise in empty sentimentality. For it was Saint John himself who wrote:

" Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him. In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy. "(1 John 5: 1-3)

Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us to remain faithful to the Catholic Faith.

Although a new article is nearing completion, I will have to return to it this afternoon. Thank you for your patience.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
A continued blessed Christmas to you all.
