Today is the feast of Saint John Mary Vianney and the Commemoration of the Vigil of Saint Lawrence the Deacon and of Saint Romanus.

Saint John Mary Vianney is the patron of diocesan priests, a man who humbly recognized that he was not the brightest pupil, that he was, to use even his own description, slow in his studies. He had great difficulty learning his Latin. Other studies came hard to him as well. He did not give up. Helped by a wonderful mentor, Father Balley, who had worked as a carpenter during the French Revolution so as to hide his identify as a Catholic priest as he offered Mass in various hideaways and without any "communion" with the bishops and priests of the "constitutional church," John Mary Vianney persevered time and time and time again, praying to Saint John Francis Regis for help and guidance.

Yes, he was tempted to quit his studies, believing himself to unworthy of priestly ordination because of his lack of intellectual aptitude. Father Balley told him very pointedly, "You've decided to give in to the devil?" That knocked some sense into our Saint, and it should knock some sense into any young man today who might have experienced some difficulties and perhaps even gross injustices in their own pursuit of the priesthood. Never give up. We need priests, especially now in this time of apostasy and betrayal.

Always close to Our Lady, Saint John Mary Vianney was brought to the point of his priestly ordination on August 13, 1815. His superiors judged that his moral qualities had overcome any academic deficiencies that would have held others back from being ordained to the priesthood, and they were vindicated in their judgment by the long and devoted service that he gave to the people of Ars.

Oh yes, sure, he tried to run away from his people on three occasions, wanting to seek the solitude of a monastery. Each time, however, he responded to the pleas of his sheep who loved their shepherd, who spent so much time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and in the confessional to hear the confessions of the thousands of people who flocked from all over the world to the merits of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus applied to their souls through his priestly ministry, and returned home to Ars.

Saint John Mary Vianney, who knew failure in his studies for the priesthood, was a firm supporter of the "patron of failures," Pauline Jaricot, the foundress of Society of the Propagation of the Faith and the Universal Living Rosary Association, and zealously devoted to the cause of our great wonder worker, Saint Philomena. Saint John Mary Vianney spent himself tirelessly in behalf of the flock that was entrusted to his pastoral care. We need to invoke his intercession so that our own true bishops and priests will be fortified by his example as they seek to serve faithful Catholics, the scattering and wandering sheep of this time of apostasy and betrayal, unto eternity.

Work continues on my final commentary on the farce of naturalism until the first debate next month. There is nothing really new to say that I have not said before. However, I am doing my best to make various points in a clear and cogent manner so that those who can rise above the passions of the moment can see the world clearly through the eyes of the Catholic Faith, not through the hysteria engendered by naturalism.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for is.

Saint John Mary Vianney, the Cure of Ars, pray for us.

Saint Lawrence the Deacon, pray for us.

Saint Romanus, pray for us.

Today is the great Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on Mount Thabor in the presence of the Apostles Peter, James and John and in the company of Moses and Elias. God the Father repeated the proclamation that He had made as His Co-Equal Son made Flesh in Our Lady's Virginal and Immaculate Womb was baptized by His cousin, Saint John the Baptist in the Jordan River prior to the assumption of His Public Ministry, "This is My beloved Son, hear yet Him."

Our Lord was transfigured in the glory that He shared with the God the Father and God the Holy Ghost for all eternity in Heaven in order to show forth His Sacred Divinity to Saints Peter, the first Pope, Saint James, the first Bishop of Jerusalem and the first of the Apostles to be martyred, and Saint James's brother, Saint John, the beloved Apostle and the Apostle of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, to help console them during the events of His Passion and Death.

It is our goal to be transfigured in glory for all eternity in Heaven. The only path to the heavenly Mount Thabor, however, is by climbing atop Mount Calvary every day of our lives, willingly bearing our crosses in reparation for our sins and those of the world as we offer whatever merit we gain for the patient and joyful endurance of these crosses to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. Indeed, our climb to Heaven by ascending first to Mount Calvary is signified every day a true bishop or a true priest completes the prayers at the foot of the altar and ascends the three steps (mystically symbolic of the Thee Persons of the Most Blessed Trinity and of the three stages of the interior life) to the altar itself. If we desire to be transfigured in all glory in Heaven we must, therefore, be willing to be shamed and humiliated by the the ignominy associated with the Holy Cross.

The glories of Heaven are worth such temporary shame and humiliation and ignominy, are they not? May Our Lady, who awaits us in the heavenly Mount Thabor and intercedes for us from there, help us to ascend to Mount Calvary every day in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass so that we can keep her company at the foot of the Cross every day our lives as a a preparation for spending all eternity in the glories of Heaven with her and Saint Joseph and all of the angels and the saints.

A blessed Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to you all.

This reflection has been revised slightly. As a new billing cycle for our internet service has begun, I have a whopping (I am being very sarcastic) twenty gigabytes at my disposal for the next thirty-one days. This is a penance all by itself!

Work has commenced on the next original article to be posted on this site. I am endeavoring to have it ready for posting on Monday it at all possible.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint James the Greater, pray for.

Pope Saint Sixtus, Saints Felicissimus and Agapitus, pray for us.

Here is second--and final--part of the commentary about recent remarks made by "Archbishop" Guido Pozzo about the conciliar sect's ongoing "doctrinal discussions" with the Society of Saint Pius that appears--for the umpteenth time--to be reaching a conclusion.

As the our is very late and work needs to be undertaken later today on a very long commentary on the farce of naturalism that will result in the chastisement known as President Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, whose election is being aided and abetted by the mainslime media and by the inability of her opponent, Donald John Trump, to keep his focus on her contempt for the laws of God and men (then again, no man who can authorize his campaign to justify indecent photographs of his third wife as "performance art" knows nothing about the laws of God himself).

Well, I will have plenty to say on this score. Suffice it for the moment to remind those who are losing their Catholic minds over this farce, everything must fall apart absent the Social Reign of Christ the King.

A blessed Feast of Our Lady of the Snows to you all.

Our Lady of the Snows, pray for us.

Health problems and errands undertaken in the midst of those problems have gotten in the way of my writing since the late-night/early morning posting three days ago now. Although I have three articles in development, prudence dictates that I not attempt another such overnight posting. I hope that one of those articles, upon which worked ceased about twenty minutes before this posting, will appear tomorrow, the Feast of Our Lady of the Snow.

Today is the Feast of Saint Dominic de Guzman, who had such great zeal for souls from his earliest days in seminary. As is well known, it was a conversation with an innkeeper in the Albigensian stronghold of Toulouse, France, changed the whole direction of his priesthood as he sought to win back souls from the darkness of an early forerunner of Calvinism, Albigensianism. Our Lady, sent by her Divine Son out of the ineffable Mercy that He has in His Most Sacred Heart, which was formed out of her own Immaculate Heart, to bring back the lost sheep (and not to beat up on the sheep when their souls are sorely distressed) out of the new form of Manicheaism that had arisen in southern France, gave Saint Dominic her Most Holy Rosary to the be the weapon to crush the Albigensian heresy. Saint Dominic de Guzman used the weapon of Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary very well and taught others how to do so.

Every Catholic, of course, owes a great deal to Saint Dominic, who walked between southern France and Rome several times during his life--and who accompanied two of the first Dominicans, Saints Hyacinth and his brother, Saint Ceslaus, on the first leg of their trip in Italy back to Krakow before he, Saint Dominic, had to turn back.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Dominic de Guzman, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of the great Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, the Patron of Moral Theologians. It was over eight years ago now that I recorded each of the Sunday sermons of Saint Alphonsus for the "Save Thy Souls" section of Traditional Catholic Sermons.org. It was a very sobering experience as I recognized that Saint Alphonsus was speaking directly to me, condemning my sins and my lukewarmness. Ouch. He certainly gave me what for, and I am grateful that he did so. This particular reflection has been enlarged to include three complete sermons composed by Saint Alphonsus de Ligouori.

Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, the founder of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (the Redemptorists), was particularly emphatic in teaching us that we must avoid sins of human respect. That is, we can show no partiality or favoritism to those in power if they are doing things that put the temporal or, more important, the eternal welfare into jeopardy. This applies to the likes of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who blasphemes God on a regular basis and considers it his duty in the name of "mercy" to enable hardened, unrepentant sinners in their lives that are leading to them eternal perdition, and to most of his "bishops," men who believe that the sheep are their enemies and that they can stonewall and intimidate the sheep into remaining silent about real and documented abuses of power and real and documented violations of the integrity of the Holy Faith:

" And when there is question of the divine honour, we should not be frightened by the dignity of the man who offends God; let us say to him openly: This is sinful; it cannot be done. Let us imitate the Baptist, who reproved King Herod for living his brother's wife and said to him: 'It is not lawful for thee to have her'--Matt., xiv. 4. Men indeed shall regard us as fools, and turn us into derision; but, on the day of judgment they shall acknowledge that they have been foolish, and we have shall have the glory of being numbered among the saints. They shall say: 'These are they whom we had some time in derision. . . . . We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without honour. Behold how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among the saints'--Wis., v. 3, 4, 5. (Sixth Sunday After Easter: On Human Respect.)

Several new articles are in the process of being written. It is going to be a busy week for me.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Another very late (or early) hour on the Feast of Saint Peter’s Chains and the Commemoration of the Holy Machabees.

“Archbishop” Guido Pozzo of the conciliar church’s Ecclesia Dei Commission gave an interview recently, a translation of which appears on Novus Ordo Watch Wire. As Signore Pozzo made a number of incredibly false and contradictory assertions, I have taken a bit of time to handle just a few of his statements, concentrating particularly on his contention that the “doctrinal” discussions with the Society of Saint Pius X have hinged upon disagreements on matters that up until now have been considered bedrock conciliar dogma (religious liberty, false ecumenism, and relations with non-Christians). This commentary concentrates on “religious liberty,” which Ratzinger/Benedict termed a “sacred right” in his “World Day of Peace Message” for 2011.

Pozzo also said that there is “more to life than just doctrine.”

Go tell that to the martyrs who gave up their lives in defense of just one article of Our Lord’s Sacred Doctrine.

Truly incredible.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

The Holy Machabees, pray for us.

It is early on Sunday, July 31, 2016, the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost and the Commemoration of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus. Time was taken late last evening to revise and expand this commentary on the valiant solder in the Army of Christ, a soldier who did battle with the very errors of Martin Luther that are the foundation of much of the counterfeit church of conciiarism and have been celebrated openly by that anti-Jesuit, Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

Saint Ignatius laid down his military armor in front of an image of Our Lady in the Benedictine monastery in Montserrat, Spain, on the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25, 1522, becoming a soldier in the army of Christ the King. Saint Ignatius of Loyola was always in the "company of Jesus," always seeking to advance the cause of the Holy Faith.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola attracted men of character and determination of purpose right from the beginning, men who were serious about retarding the advances of the Protestant Revolution and seeking the conversion of pagans in far away lands. The devil hated this good work of the Society of Jesus, which he why he sought to corrupt the sons of Saint Ignatius in the Twentieth Century by means of the various propositions of Modernism. The most corrupt of them all now, of course, is Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

We need to pray to Saint Ignatius and his company of Jesuit saints in Heaven, each of whom was so tenderly devoted to the Mother of God, to help us to be as brave and faithful and gallant as they were in defending the Sacred Honor of Christ the King and of Mary our Immaculate Queen. Our Lady of the Society of Jesus, pray for us. Saint Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us.

Work proceeds on the next article, which will a rather extended commentary on the influence that those who deny the Sacred Divinity of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ are attempting to exercise now that the pending entry by the Society of Saint Pius X into "full communion" with the heretical blasphemers and merchants of sacrilege in the counterfeit church of conciliarism appears to be reaching its conclusion. It will be after this particular commentary that the one dealing with the two presidential acceptance addresses will be completed, a project that is going to take a bit of time. Thank you in advance for your patience as I ask those who support the work of this site and have the means to be of assistance but have not made a non-tax-deductible donation in the past to consider doing so at this time.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us.

As the only time that I have in a day—at least on most days—to write without interruption is after 10:00 p.m., it has become increasingly difficult to stay up as late as is required to complete articles. Thus it is that the number of articles has decreased as I simply cannot “bounce back” from overnight postings and then attend to the next day’s duties while still having enough of mind—well, what little of it I have left—to get articles done. I do, however, apologize for the decrease in the number of articles on this site.

Anyhow, this current article shows just a few parallels between the lord of Modernism and his counterparts in the false opposite of the naturalist “left” here in the United States of America. Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s address to the civil leaders of Poland wherein he lectured them about “good memory” and “bad memory” (what was that I wrote about Ding Dong School thirty-eight and one-half months ago now?) is very similar to the “transformational” agenda of Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro and the woman he wants to succeed him to continue his program of lawlessness, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton.

This does not mean that my criticism of Donald John Trump has lessened. Of course not. I will deal with his address of Thursday, July 21, 2016, the Feast of Saint Praxedes, and Madame Defarge’s address of last evening, which I did not watch or listen to given a shortage of available gigabytes, by the middle of next week.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

[Midnight Update, Wednesday, July 27, 2016, the Feast of Saint Pantaleon: As we were away most of the day yesterday, it is not possible to complete a brief commentary on the Mohammedan execution of a true priest, Father Jacques Hamel, on the Feast of Saint James the Greater (Jacques is the French name for James) in the Church of St Étienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen, France, which is where Saint Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. Although little more can be said about Father Hamel's brutal murder that was not contained in "The Adversary Always Mocks His Own Revolutions," the commentary that is being prepare at this time emphasizes the simple fact that it is the very conciliar spirit of "openness" to those who are the sworn enemies of Christ the King and His Holy Catholic Church that has made these tragedies a commonplace feature throughout Europe. The lords of conciliarism have wanted to show their "acceptance" of those who worship the devil without realizing that their very own false church is diabolically-inspired and a source of agitation and discord, not of the "peace and reconciliation" that its false "pontiffs" have preached Falsehood and error produce division and bloodshed.

The truths and true sacramental rites of the Catholic Church places men's souls in a state of true peace which the world cannot give, namely, the state of Sanctifying Grace wherein the very inner life of the Most Blessed Trinity is meant to abide habitually in our souls, which have been redeemed by the shedding of every single drop of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour's Most Precious Blood during His Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross on Good Friday.

The tragic execution of Father Hamel means that two other commentaries (one about the ongoing freak show celebrating evil and propagating fantasies about Hillary Rodham Diane Clinton, the other about Donald John Trump's Judeo-Masonic speech of self-redemption six days ago now) will have to be delayed. Although I am not watching the proceedings of the organized crime family of naturalism of the false opposite of the naturalist "left" as I do not have enough gigabytes on my phone or for the computer to do so, I do read the reports about bilge being produced in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and that is more than enough for me to explain what I have explained so many times before: anyone who supports a single, solitary instance in which an innocent human being can be killed as the first object of a moral act is disqualified to hold any position in public life, whether elected or appointed. Then again, I went to great efforts to do explain that in "Six In A Row" two days ago now. However, I will have a brief commentary on the Democratic National Convention by Thursday, which will be followed by a very carefully written article about the evils promoted in Donald John Trump's acceptance address, noting also the influence that Talmudists have in his various business enterprises and in his campaign. Christ the King loses no matter who wins a presidential election.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Pantaleon, pray for us.]

Below is the original introduced to "Six In A Row," which was posted about forty-six hours ago now:

My life would be a lot easier if I wrote in soundbites. I do not write in soundbites, and thus articles such as this one take a very long time to complete.

The purpose of this website is to provide readers with a bit of material that they might not find in one place, which is why I try to take the time that is necessary to complete long commentaries such as this one, which deals with the fact that the selections of two baptized Catholics, Timothy Michael Kaine, who remains in perfectly good standing in the structures of the counterfeit church of concialiarism despite his support for the chemical and surgical execution of the innocent preborn, and Michael Richard Pence, who apostatized while at Hanover College in Indiana in 1975, represent different strands of the ethos of the heresy of Americanism.

There is a lot of political history in this commentary, and it is my hope that it helps to give a perspective on the fact that Americanism has been and remains an important building block and guiding star for the conciliar worldview and its rejection of the Social Reign of Christ the King. Included in this commentary is the fact that the anti-Catholic Know-Nothing Party was founded in 1845 by the first Talmudist to have served in the United States House of Representatives, Lewis Charles Levin. Americanism and Talmudism are as intricately related to each other as are Talmudism and concilairism.

My commentary on Donald John Trump’s acceptance address will follow in a few days, which means I will have insufficient time to comment on the meeting of miscreants and deviants who have gathered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the home of the monstrous baby-butcher and killer of women known as Kermit Gosnell, to celebrate Gosnell’s bloody trade, especially by heralding the barbaric work of Planned Barrenhood until after the event is completed. Poor Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s visit to Poland for “World Youth Day” will be the subject of commentary, again after the fact of its completion, at some point next week.

Now, it is time for me to get about five hours of sleep.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint James the Greater, pray for us.

Saint Christopher, pray for us.

[Friday, July 22, 2016, Feast of Saint Mary Magadlene: There is no time--and less physical ability--to do justice to the proceedings of the last two nights at the convention of the organized crime family of the false opposite of the naturalist right. A commentary should appear on this site by Monday, July 25, 2016, the Feast of Saint James the Greater, also known as the Moorslayer.

[Suffice it for the moment to note that I listened to the Republican Party presidential nominee's speech for a little while last night on my phone before turning it off when his support when he repeated his own personal support for the "LGBT community" as he had done after the terrorist attack at an establishment of moral reprobation in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday, June 12, 2016, the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost and the Commemoration of Saint John Gualbert. Evil gets mainstreamed and legitimized while even many Catholics nod their heads in agreement, and this is to say nothing of having a practicing sodomite speak from the podium earlier in the evening.

[It is time for us sinners to follow the example of Saint Mary Magdalene by doing penance for our sins. Many sufferings await this country no matter which naturalist is elected. Our elections remain farcical contests between two competing sets of naturalists to see which brand of naturalism can "solve" that caused by the very sins they promote, enable and celebrate.

[Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us. Saint Mary Magdalene, pray for us.]

As I wanted to complete this commentary, which is yet another effort to put contemporary events in the perspective of the Holy Faith, before writing about the narcissistic effort on the part of Rafael Edward Cruz to proclaim himself the sole defender of a constitution that is against defenseless against the misuse of its own text, there is simply insufficient time and less physical ability well after Midnight on the Feast of Saint Praxedes to do so.

Oh, the bombastic, self-seeker from Texas, a man who boasted in Iowa that he was glad that he only had two children instead of seventeen, will come in for some attention in a few days after I prepare commentaries on the sad story of Michael Richard Pence’s defection from the Catholic Faith, which has been highlighted by The New York Times, and the events that will transpire this evening in Cleveland, Ohio. Suffice it for the moment to say that Donald John Trump, who has come in for criticism on this site for a number of reasons, made a very shrewd decision to give Cruz the rope that he used to hang himself.

Again this is all very good political theater. However, none of it can save a nation that needs its King to be enthroned and its Queen to be honored by all men at all times.

We pray for the good the nation, awash as it is in a sea of error, as the forces of evil will continue to advance no matter what happens on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, and we must be ready to face an era of open persecution sooner or later. There is no way out of this mess except to embrace the suffering of the moment and to entrust all to Christ the King through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, yes especially by praying as many Rosaries each day as our state-in-life permits.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Praxedes, pray for us.
