There is a hideous shrine to the Masonic notion of "liberty" that stands in New York Harbor. It is, of course, called the Statue of Liberty, exalted even today by some traditionally-minded priests as a beacon of "hope" and a sign of the "greatness" of the United States of America as a land of liberty.

"I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION." Those words, uttered by the Mother of God herself to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in the Grotto of Massabielle near Lourdes, France, on March 25, 1858, was a Heavenly ratification of the solemn, infallible proclamation of the doctrine of her Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX on December 8, 1854, in the Bull Ineffabilis Deus. "I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION."

Our Lady was conceived in the womb of her holy mother, Good Saint Anne, without any stain of Original or Actual Sin in anticipation of the merits that would be won by her Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, on the wood of the Holy Cross. She, the Singular Vessel of Devotion, had the perfect integrity of Adam and Eve before their Fall from Grace in the Garden of Eden. It is important, therefore, to get the doctrine of Original Sin right in order to understand the great miracle worked by God in the soul of the fairest flower of our race, Our Lady, from the very first moment of her Immaculate Conception. To get anything about the doctrine of Original Sin wrong leads to the efforts on the part of Modernists to deconstruct the doctrinal definitions of Original Sin and of the Immaculate Conception.

Alas, the Catholic Church, our Holy Mother on earth, our Mater and Magister, is as spotless as the Immaculate Blessed Virgin Mary. Holy Mother Church does not deconstruct infallible dogmatic definitions. Holy Mother Church cannot do so, which is why we need to pray to Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces and our Immaculate Queen, to help us to cleave to true bishops and true priests in the catacombs who make no concessions to the counterfeit church of conciliarism that has promulgated an abominable "liturgy" and whose officials feel feel to "reinterpret" dogmatic truths according to Modernist propositions that have been condemned by the authority of our spotless Mother on earth, Holy Mother Church.

Mindful of the effects of our own sins on our immortal souls and of our need to make reparation for them to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through Our Lady's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, may we make the Secret prayer for today's Holy Mass our own: "Receive the saving Victim we offer to Thee, O Lord, on the solemn feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary: and grant that, as we confess that by Thy prevenient grace she was kept free from every stain of sin; so, by her intercession, we may be delivered from all our offenses. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God."

A blessed Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary to you all!

Although this revised reflection does make more than casual references to the conciliar revolutionaries, I am not addressing Jorge Mario Bergoglio's interview in La Nacion, an Argentine newspaper, today as our focus must be on the fairest flower of our race who was unspotted by any stain of sin. Like his predecessors before him in the counterfeit church of conciliarism, Bergoglio has no conception of the horror of personal sin and, believing as the naturalist that he is, thinks that it is actually counterproductive to urge those living in states of Mortal Sin in the objective order of things to change as they might be offended and walk away from what he thinks is the Catholic Church. No one who loves God as He has revealed Himself to us exclusively through His true Church, the Catholic Church, can be indifferent to the horror of sin, which caused Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to suffer unspeakable horrors in His Sacred Humanity during His Passion and death on the wood of the Holy Cross and caused the Swords of Sorrow to be thrust through and though the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of His Most Blessed Mother, she is is our Immaculate Queen of Heaven and of Earth.

May God have mercy on us all in this era of apostasy and betrayal.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

As the three consecutive long nights of writing and overnight postings did not do wonders for the flu from which I have been suffering for the past week, my desire to complete "Caesar's Latest Power Grab" must yield to the necessity of rest. I have no idea how many people have read the three part series on Bergoglio's trip to Turkey. However, I do ask those who continue to read the articles on this site to be patient as I attempt to get better from the current illness, which, of course, I accept as a just chastisement for my sins and offer up with gratitude to the Throne of the Most Blessed Trinity through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Today's republished article is a brief reflection on the life and missionary work of Saint Francis Xavier, S.J., a true Jesuit and a true priest who encouraged his converts in Goa, India, to mock and to smash the images of idols. Such "disrespect" to the images of idols would not be tolerated by the lay Jesuit, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who has never found a false religion that he could not praise and respect.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us,

Saint Francis Xavier, pray for us.

True to form, Jorge Mario Bergoglio kept the revolutionary juices flowing upon his arrival in Istanbul, Turkey, from Ankara, Turkey, yesterday, Saturday, November 29, 2014, the Vigil of Saint Andrew and the Commemoration of Saint Saturninus, where he had babbled and babbled and babbled about the importance of “interreligious dialogue” to end violence that he believes is caused by “fanaticism” and “fundamentalism, oblivious to the simple fact that the leaders and followers of th

The Holy Season of Advent begins tonight, Saturday, November 29, 2014, as true priests, deacons and subdeacons sing or pray First Vespers for the First Sunday of Advent.
