Although fast-breaking events in a world gone mad occupy the attention of so many these days, the purpose of this website is to help those who access it to see the world more clearly through the eyes of the true Faith without becoming overwrought with the histrionics into which so many Catholics, no matter where they may fall along the vast expanse of the ecclesiastical divide during this time of apostasy and betrayal, become so engrossed as they lose sight of all supernatural perspective and thereby exhibit little if any understanding that God has known from all eternity that we would be living at this time and that the graces His Co-Equal, Co-Eternal Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, won for us during His Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross are more than sufficient for us to suffer well as His consecrated slaves through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. While I still write about the madness of a world gone mad and will do so yet again after this commentary is completed, I take a much longer view of things than many other commentators who are obsessed with the here and now.

This particular commentary continues a survey of some true popes, Pope Leo XIII and Pope Saint Pius X in particular, responded to attacks on the Faith in general and upon believing Catholics in particular. Part three will focus on Popes Benedict XV, Pius XI, and Pius XII.

A commentary on matters political will follow by the end of next week, if not slightly before.

Thank you for your patience.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Cloud, pray for us.

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. 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 made no reference to the one hundredth anniversary of The Oath Against Modernism on September 1, 1910 (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 confessional 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.

As I have had to go for medical tests this week, including a nuclear stress test performed in Dallas, Texas, yesterday, work on part two of my current series has been slowed. I hope to be able to have it posted in a few days. Thank you. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Pius X, pray for us!

The disgraced former conciliar "archbishop" of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from 1977 to 2002, Rembert George Weakland, "encountered" his Particular Judgment on Monday, August 22, 2022, the Feast of the Immculate Heart of Mary and the Commemoration of Saints Timothy, Hippolytus, and Symphorian.

The title of this commentary about his seventy-one wretched years of priestly apostasy is self-explanatory. The details are contained in the commentary itself.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Rose of Lima, pray for us.

Saints Felix and Adauctus, pray for us.

This is a revised and enlarged version of my 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.

A commentary about the perverse work of the morally and doctrinally corrupt Rembert George Weakland will be published within two hours or so. (Scroll down for recent articles.)

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Rose of Lima, pray for us.

Saints Felix and Adauctus, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist and the Commemoration of Saint Sabina. I am republishing a reflection on this feast that was substantially enlarged and revised four years ago with a few new revisions.  

Part two of Jorge Mario Bergoglio Would Have Urged Catholics to "Dialogue" with Diocletian, although I will have a commentary about the late Rembert George Weakland, O.S.B., published no later than Wednesday, August 31, 2022, the Feast of Saint Raymond of Nonnatus. 

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Saint Sabina, pray for us.

Living down to his antipapal expectations, Jorge Mario Bergoglio continues to be mostly deaf, dumb, and blind as his own “bishops,” priests/presbyters, consecrated religious and ordinary Catholics attached to the conciliar structures are attacked, imprisoned, tortured. and killed by Communists in such places as Nicaragua and Red China. Don’t think for a moment that Joseph Robinette Biden and his weaponized, politicized agents of leftist law enforcement agencies are not paying attention to the “pope’s” indifference” when “conservatives” are attacked by those he sees as agents of “social justice” and of efforts to “save the planet.” Jorge would love nothing more than to see his “conservative” “bishops” in the United States of America get roughed up as they continue to defy his own “love-in” with Biden and Nancy Patricia D’Alesandro Pelosi.

This commentary contrasts Bergoglio’s indifference with the courage action taken by many of our true popes, most especially Pope Pius XI, in the face of attacks upon Catholics and the Holy Faith itself. Part two will follow in a few days.

Today, Tuesday, Thursday, August 25, 2022, is the Feast of Saint Louis IX, King of France, that great exemplar of the Social Reign of Christ the King. Saint Louis was taught by his holy mother, Blessed Blanche of Castile, to prefer death rather to commit a deliberate Mortal Sin. He heard two Masses a day and was a member of the Third Order of Saint Francis, whose patron saint he remains to this day.

Saint Louis strove to rule according to the Mind of Christ the King as He had deposited It exclusively in the Catholic Church, recognizing that he, Louis IX, would have to answer to Christ the King at the moment of his own Particular Judgment for how he ruled his subjects. His letter to his son Philip is a succinct summary of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. It is a model for how everyone in public life should conduct himself in order to please Christ the King as the devoted client of Our Lady, she who is our Immaculate Queen.

Finally, I can report to you that the next original article for this site is being written but that its completion is being slowed by reburnished 2014 Lenovo notebook computer whose keys are sticking and/or not functioning. The keyboard was replaced sixteen months ago. The unit itself, though, needs more than a new keyboard.

Thus, I renew my request for non-tax-deductible financial gifts for this expense as well as to pay a $250 copay for a medical procedure that I am in need of undergoing on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, the Feast of Saint Rose of Lima. Thank you in advance for whatever it is you can donate now.

Vivat Christus Rex!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Louis IX, pray for us.

oday is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to which the month of August is devoted, that heart that was pierced with Seven Swords of Sorrow during the Life of her Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was formed out of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These twin hearts of matchless love suffered as one and they beat as one while on earth and they have beat as one in Heaven since Our Lady was Assumed into Heaven body and soul after her death.

Our Lady's Immaculate Heart was unstained by Original Sin or Actual Sins. The Immaculate Heart of the Mother of God, therefore, was capable of a purity of love of God and of her fellow men that is almost indescribable. Our Lady's Most Pure, Most Holy Heart despises the sins that caused her Divine Son to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during His Passion and Death but at the same time is full of a perfect and completely pure maternal compassion for erring sinners such as you and me.

Our Lord, showing us His infinite compassion for us erring sinners, has sent us His Most Blessed Mother to provide us with her maternal assistance to get home to Heaven as members of His true Church founded upon the Rock of Peter, the Pope.

We have been given the Rosary, the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel, the Miraculous Medal, and the Green Scapular through her loving hands, through which flow the graces won for us by the shedding of Our Lord's Most Precious Blood on the wood of the Holy Cross.

Her apparition to Juan Diego and the miraculous image of herself she left on his tilma helped to convert millions of Indians to the true Faith in the Americas.

Our Lady ratified Pope Pius IX's solemn proclamation of her Immaculate Conception by proclaiming herself to Saint Bernadette Soubirous to be the Immaculate Conception on March 25, 1858. And Our Lady's appearance in the Cova da Iria from May 13, 1917, to October 13, 1917, gave us Heaven's Peace Plan, one that runs through her Immaculate Heart.

We must endeavor at all times to fulfill, as far as we are able in this time of apostasy and betrayal, Our Lady's Fatima Message in our own lives, especially by praying as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit and by living penitentially as the consecrated slaves of her Divine Son through her own Immaculate Heart.

The era of apostasy and betrayal will end when the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is made manifest. We can play our roles, small though they may be, in helping to bring about this triumph.

Remember also that non-tax-deductible gifts are always needed and would be highly appreciated at this time. Thank you.

The next original commentary on this site should be posted by the Feast of Saint Bartholomew, Wednessday, August 24, 2022.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death.

Saints Timothy, Hippolytus, and Symphorian, pray for us.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio has made it possible for revolutionaries such as Jean-Claude Hollerich and many others to manifest their patent disbelief in the nature of God and His Divine Revelation to such an extent that Hollerich, for one says, has been so bold as to say that his false religious sect must listen to the “voice of the people” about the ontological impossibility of changing the Catholic Church’s condemnation of perverse sins against nature.

The “voice of the people”?

The Catholic Church is the voice of God on earth in all that pertains to Faith and Morals. It is not up to Holy Mother Church to listen to “the people.” It is up to the “people” to obey God as He has revealed Himself to them through the true Church.

Quite a difference.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John Eudes, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of Feast of Saint Hyacinth, O.P., the great Apostle of the Northland and one of the first members of the Order of Preachers founded by Saint Dominic de Guzman. (Today is also the third day within the Octave of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Octave Day of Saint Lawrence the Deacon.)

Saint Hyacinth's great zeal for souls and his desire to convert pagans out of their diabolical superstitions into the true Faith, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order. Saint Hyacinth, who had such a great and abiding love for Our Lady, who favored him with apparitions, stands in quite a contrast with Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI and his successor, Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Both of these heretics have praised the very false religions that Saint Hyacinth—and every other Catholic missionary—sought to eradicate from the face of the earth by seeking the unconditional conversion of their adherents to the false religion. The difference between Saint Hyacinth's fidelity and apostasy of the conciliar "popes" stark. It is right there in black and white for all who have the grace to see. See for yourself. As considerable time was spent adding links, including a complete library of articles that have appeared about Bergoglio on this site in the fifty-three months, four days, to the preface of this revised article in order to provide readers with a useful and handy resource for those who are new to this site and want to review past articles on Jorge Mario Bergoglio, it has been impossible to add more recent examples of the endless reaffirmations that the Argentine Apostate has given to those who adhere to false religions, including Talmudism, from which he derives much of his "intellectual" and "spiritual" sustenance. In other words, "Pope Francis" is a stooge and servant of Antichrist.  

Here is a list of some recent commentaries in the event that you have missed them: Big Chief Apostate Bergoglio Outdoes Himself in Canada, Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part eighteen, As Forgettable Naturalists Fight Each Other Over Forgettable Things, and The Rosary IS Our Weapon, and We Must Pray It to Fight Evil, Especially That Within Our Own Lives.

Saint Lawrence the Deacon, pray for us.
