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 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! 

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.

The release of The Dictator "Pope" is causing quite a stir. With this in mind, therefore, I want to remind the readers of this site of two articles that appeared on this site in 2013.

The first is Francis, The Talking Apostate, which was published on March 14, 2013, and contained a bit of information about Jorge's thuggish ways in Buenos Aires.

The second, Francis: The Latest In A Long Line Of Ecclesiastical Tyrants, was pubished on August 19, 2013.

Although I will have my own commentary on the new book soon enough, I do want to complete part three of "Jerusalem Belongs to Christ the King and His True Church," which should be poste don the First Sunday of Advent.

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

Although there was a good analysis on Novus Ordo Wire last month about Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s speculating that Judas Iscariot was saved, there are a few points on the subject that I have desired to make but have not had any time to do so until now.

As the hour is late and much has been happening in the past week, suffice it to say for the moment that there is now a need to write part three of “Jerusalem Belongs to Christ the King and His True Church” in light of today’s expected announcement by the Trump administration to move the embassy of the United States of America in the Zionist State of Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem over the course of time.

For the moment, therefore, it might be good for those readers who are still accessing this site to re-read Jerusalem Belongs To Christ the King, part one and Jerusalem Belongs to Christ the King and His True Church, part two.

Saint Nicholas of Myra, pray for us.

Saint Nicholas of Myra, whose feast is celebrated today, Wednesday, December 6, 2017, was a Successor of the Apostles who had a generous, loving heart in the pattern of the Most Sacred Heart of the Good Shepherd Himself, Christ the King, but who was also a firm and unequivocal foe of the heretic Arius and his heresy, Arianism.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio inserted his infamous letter to the conciliar "bishops" of his native Buenos Aires affirming their "guidelines" for interpreting Amoris Laetitia as the one and only authentic interpreation of his desire to admit those engaged in adultery (or fornication or sodomy) admitted to what purports to be Holy Communion in the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service into his Acta Apostolicae Sedis. Bergoglio even made it part of his "authentic magisterium."

Those within the structures of the counterfeit church of conciliarism who think that they can ignore or oppose only their "pope's" teaching have to reckon with the theological judgment of Monsignor Joseph Clifford Fenton concerning the binding nature of what a true pope causes to be inserted into his Acta when he means to clarify some point of doctrine. This is what the heretic from Buenos Aires has done, save for the fact that he is not a true "pope."

A revised article on Saint Francis Xavier, S.J., whose feast was commemorated today, the First Sunday of Advent, will have to wait until later tomorrow or Tuesday.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Peter Chrysologus, pray for us.

Saint Barbara, pray for us.

This is a revised Advent reflection.

A revised reflection on Saint Francis Xavier's missionary work should be posted by late tomorrow afternoon. Work proceeds as well with my next original article.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Bibiana, pray for us.

Saint Francis Xavier, S. J., pray for us.

This is a slight revision of a reflection on the life and martyrdom of Blessed Edmund Campion, S.J., who was tortured and killed on this day, December 1 four hundred thirty-six years ago, that is, on December 1, 1581.

Blessed Edmund Campion was put to death on orders of "not so good" Queen Bess, that is, the wretched Queen Elizabeth I. Blessed Edmund did not give "joint blessings" with Anglican ministers have the conciliar "popes," and it is interesting to note that the  four "cardinals" (two of whom are now dead) whose red hats were said to be in jeopardy for going public with their dubia about Amoris Laetitia never said a word in protest about any of those "joint blessings" and other ecumenical travesties.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Blessed Edmund Campion, pray for us.

Yes, I am still among the living, at least so far. 

Time and physical strength do not permit a recitation of all that has happened in the past few days. Suffice it to say that a colonoscopy scheduled on Monday did not take place because my blood potassium level was too low. Well, I learned that after waiting four hours in a bed while everyone else in a mass assembly line holding area got wheeled into the procedure room. Penance is a great gift! Deo gratias. However, I did have an ultrasound yesterday to take a closer look at supposedly "suspicious" lesions on the liver (and I do not drink alcoholic beverages). Saint Philomena is on the job!

One article is nearing completion and another is in preparation. Thank you for your patience. Thank you also for your prayers.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Andrew the Apostle, pray for us.

This article is more or less a follow-up to the commentary that was posted on Saturday, November 25, 2017, the Feast of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. A republished reflection on today’s Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal was published a few moments ago.

Today is being given over to the endoscopy/colonoscopy that was rescheduled from Friday, November 17, 2017, the Feast of Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus, to today because of the heart catheterization that I underwent on Thursday, November 16, 2017, the Feast of Saint Gertrude the Great. The CT-Scan of the abdomen and pelvis taken on Wednesday, November 15, 2017, the Feast of Saint Albert the Great, showed a few irregularities, some of which were called “suspicious” by the radiologist, and it confirmed that I did break a lumbar vertebra when I fell on July 18, 2017, the Feast of Saint Camillus de Lellis.  Penance is the only path to Heaven.

Thus, my good readers, I may not have another article for you until Wednesday, November 29, 2017, the Vigil of Saint Andrew. I ask for your prayers today. Saint Philomena is on the job, I am sure.

Finally, we now have a rather expensive ornament in our driveway as our minivan’s broken transmission is unlikely to be repaired for some time. I would appreciate your prayers so that money can be raised to repair it as we still have over three years of payments left on the vehicle. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, pray for us.

Saint Catherine Laboure, pray for us.

Although not on the General Roman Calendar, today, Monday, November 27, 2017, is the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Although not observed universally on a mandatory basis, this feast is is nevertheless an important one to commemorate as this powerful sacramental is yet another sign of the love that pours out from the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the hands of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces, despite our own ingratitude and infidelities.

This reflection was written in 2010 and published in two parts. It was two years ago now that it was combined into one part and revised slightly in a few places.

An original article will be published shortly after this republished reflection.

Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, pray for us.

Saint Catherine Laboure, pray for us.

The "time stamp" for today's new article bears the date of November 23, 2017, but the commentary is being posted early on the morning of the Feast of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Work on the article began two days ago. However, a few nagging health probems--and the unexpected failure of our minivan's transmission to do anything other than grinding souls (which is requiring me to raise funds privately)--did not permit me to complete the article until shorty after Midnight this morning, November 25, 2017.

The title of this new article is pretty self-explanatory.

As the hour has gotten much later than I would like and am need of sleep, I want to inform two correspondents who extended greetings on my sixty-sixth birthday yesterday that I will reply to them later today. A follow-up article of sorts to this present commentary should appear tomorrow, the Twenty-fifth and Final Sunday after Pentecost and the Commemoration of Saint Peter of Alexandria and, in some places, Saint Leonard of Port Maurice.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Catherine of Alexandria, pray for us.
